My life and work are hectic and the way I keep everything in balance is through my daily run. When I started to experience severe knee pain that stopped me from enjoying my daily routine, I was distraught. A friend of mine advised me to book an appointment with Dr. Joe Castelli and it was the best advice I ever received.

He spent the time with me to understand why this form of exercise was so important to me physically and mentally and he assured me I wouldn’t have to give it up forever.

I started a course of treatment with him and all the while he explained to me how, when I resumed running, there were things I could do to ensure that the injury would not reoccur.

I feel that while Dr. Castelli has such a good reputation for his knowledge and experience, the crucial thing that makes a difference in his practice is that he listens and he cares. He does everything possible to help you get back to the life that you want.

Thanks to his treatments and the continuing exercises he prescribed, I am once again enjoying my daily runs. Thank-you!

Back enjoying my life

Recently the pain of arthritis was stopping me from enjoying an active life. I started saying no to invitations I really wanted to accept because the pain was wearing me down. My doctor suggested I book an appointment with Dr. Joe Castelli at SPORT Physiotherapy and Performance.

I did so, but I had almost given up hope that anything could be done to help me get my zest for life back.

Within just a few of his manual-therapy based treatments, I felt the pain going away and my enjoyment of life returning.

He took the time to explain to me how I could help myself with his prescribed exercise and how I could work to ensure that my condition didn’t push me to decline faster than I wanted to.

Every day that I get up and go out and do something I enjoy, I am grateful to Dr. Joe as I called him. It is rare these days to find someone with that much compassion and understanding as well as expertise and experience.

Living actively at all ages

My experience with Joe was absolutely incredible! I started seeing him back in December after experiencing atrophy in my left leg. At the time I could hardly walk, yet apply any weight on my leg. It was like a deer leg. After seeing him for a few months I was regaining muscle, walking again and able to actually function. What I love about Joe mostly, is his knowledge and attention to detail. He also takes you through every exercise and actually trains you. It’s not like other places where they just sit back and do nothing. It’s much more of an intimate one on one setting and some solid tunes to go with it. I’m currently training for the 2023 NYC Marathon and owe it all to Joe’s encouragement and push for success! I highly recommend Joe Castelli.

Joe Castelli is amazing! Truly a miracle worker! Sometimes the body just needs a proper “tune up” and I always walk out after an hour with Joe feeling like a new person - a little taller, properly stretched, muscles back feeling good and body ready to workout again! If I have a muscle strain or ache, Joe has the magic touch to make everything better! Our whole family goes to Joe, as he is the best PT in NYC.

Joe is unreal. I had a marathon coming up and he helped me manage significant knee pain. Ended up finishing the race. He has a great attitude and clearly cared about me as a patient. Would recommend 100%

Joe Castelli is an excellent physical therapist; I recommend him without hesitation. The positive results of my therapy with Joe have been a great help to me. He has the requisite knowledge and experience, and always demonstrates patience in our sessions. Joe is fully committed to his work, is always willing to share his knowledge, and always fully explains the issue he is addressing. I went to him for pain in my shoulders, and with the physiotherapy I underwent with him, I was able to avoid surgery, perform my work once again without pain, and I am now re-starting my sports activities. I would recommend Joe Castelli to anyone seeking a top notch physical therapist.

I sought Joe out for chronic neck and back pain. I was immediately impressed that he was ready and available for our scheduled appointment time - I was not kept waiting for a moment. Joe demonstrated keen attention to detail and immediately made me feel comfortable with his treatment. Joe was very thorough with his questions making me feel confident that his treatment was tailored to me and not a one size fits all approach. Joe gave me exercises to do at home - he made sure I fully understood how to properly do the exercise and what said exercise should help with. Joe's communication was excellent. I would highly recommend Joe as a physical therapist. Great facility as well.
