Synthesis P.T. is your conduit to optimal health. Client and therapist work 1:1 to develop a persona

Synthesis PT is a physical therapist owned practice that serves private clients and offers on-site physical therapy services the renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. We are currently working to establish an injury prevention clinic to meet the needs of the medically underserved Hip Hop dance community. Our physical therapists are expert manual therapists who specialize in restoring the body to efficient function. Using a functional approach, our physical therapists identify the biomechanical, neuromuscular, and/or motor control dysfunctions that are causing each client's specific problem(s) and pinpoint the best way to resolve these issues.
