Shockwave Treatment

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), has become an increasingly popular treatment option for musculoskeletal injuries. This non-invasive procedure uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response, making it an appealing alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery. We also offer confidential shockwave treatments for men's health issues. To learn more about how shockwave treatment can help improve your health, chat with us..

Phoenix Laser Therapy

Laser means amplification of light by stimulated emission of radiation. Lasers are a non-invasive, drug-free therapeutic solution that reduces scarring and promotes wound healing while reducing inflammation associated with soft tissue injuries. Photons penetrate a few centimeters and are absorbed by the cell's mitochondria. This energy promotes many beneficial physiological responses, albeit at an accelerated pace, that result in the restoration of normal cellular activity and function. High-power laser therapy is ideal for relieving refractory chronic pain that has failed with conventional treatments.

I definitely recommend Dr. Cowell for PT. As a former athlete (and now a mediocre triathlete) in my mid fifties, I experience a good range of injuries and muscular/articular issues. Garry has always been able to help me recovering and putting me back on the road, with incredibly short response time and always being super-punctual to our sessions. He’s a great professional. The fact that he comes to your house for PT and that he’s an extremely nice human being are simply cherries on the cake! Bravo Garry!

Dr. Cowell is an excellent Physical Therapist. He has helped me greatly with back pain, shoulder pain and hip pain. He is very responsive to correcting whatever area needs attention. I recommend him highly.

Khanh Long Tran

I saw Dr. Garry Cowell for my broken wrist's physical therapy. Throughout the 6-week course, Garry provided exceptional care, detailed explanations for all recovery exercises and motivation for me to fully recover. Garry is also a fantastic story-teller with a great sense of humor, which got me through this difficult recovery period. I would highly recommend Garry for anyone in NYC area!

Ashely Keene

Garry is the real deal of physical therapists! I've been a dancer all my life and teach yoga myself so I like to think I know a good amount when it comes to the human body. Garry recently helped fix some sharp pain & discomfort in my hip. I thought I might have to have surgery on it and right away he knew what it was, gave me exercises to do, I did them, and after a few days I felt no sharp pain! I've been in and out physical therapy for years and I've had my favorite therapists- Garry is top! He's also really fun and an amazing guy! I definitely recommend Garry for any of your PT needs!

Dely Guastavino

Garry is the best physical therapist I have worked with! He is super knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated. He takes his time to get to know your physical history as to best develop a therapy that is going to work and get you out of pain/discomfort. I have seen him during both of my pregnancies and also in between for maintenance of a sciatic and neck/shoulder issues. He makes time to speak to you over the phone if you have follow up questions. Very down to earth, great sense of humor, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend!
