“Your expertise and support is second to none! Thanks so much for helping me out whenever I come to NYC!”
ANDREW CRUZ, Ironman 70.3 National Championship Qualifier, Boston Qualifier
“I honestly am floored by the speed of my recovery with Clutch PT. I was injured for months and saw another PT because of convenience the whole time, which I knew in my gut wasn’t really doing anything. I did a virtual session with Dr. Josh, who gave me a routine with the exercises I needed most, and 2 weeks later, I was running with no pain. In one month, I’m back to hard training efforts and running sub 6 pace off the bike. I knew he was GOOD, but what kind of voodoo witchcraft are you guys pulling over there?!
The other PT was pushing toward MRI, PRP, etc. But Josh’s approach was to inquire about my history and training habits, and surmised it was more likely a chronic issue that those other costly treatments would not necessarily fix. He honed in on the problem with a prescription of the proper movements, and it got blood flow going again. I could literally feel it getting stronger every day.
Thank you for saving me from going down an expensive rabbit hole of a bunch of tests and alternate treatments I didn’t need!”
“I am fortunate enough to have experienced top notch care at Clutch PT for MULTIPLE injuries over several years. Between a nasty and nagging hamstring injury one year, and a pretty brutal case of a work from home stiff shoulder/neck/entire upper body situation when COVID struck, my issues have always been attended to with precise attention and a gentle (or in some cases, NOT so gentle) touch when I needed it most!! Thanks Team Clutch PT!”
“If you are an athlete, there will usually come a time when you push things a bit too far. If you find yourself in that situation and need some work done to get you back in the game then look no further than Clutch PT. Unlike many PT offices where you may have a therapist working with you and several other patients at the same time, the folks at Clutch always focus exclusively on you during your visit. Combine that with their extensive experience in working with athletes(and being athletes themselves) and you’ll find there is no better place to rehab or even prehab yourself. So do yourself a favor and if looking for a PT then look no further, you have found yourself the right group. The folks at Clutch PT take your athletic pursuits as seriously as you do, and take pride and joy in your successes. As a trainer and coach myself these are always the people I recommend.”
“Highly recommend Clutch PT! Their team is so knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. There’s no one else that I would’ve trusted more to prepare me for my first full marathon this year. As a result, my mile time decreased and I noticed more muscle in my arms and legs. Not only did Dr. James prepare me for the race months in advance by strength training, but he also took care of me afterwards with the muscle I pulled during the race. Working with them has been the most pleasant PT I’ve ever experienced!”
“I worked with Clutch PT (specifically Dr. James Sinodinos) while training for my first marathon. I had made the decision to begin physical therapy because of foot and knee pain. However, from poor experiences with other physical therapy clinics (think assembly line), it was very important to me that I got to work with one individual consistently and one who had experience with other runners. I compared the websites of multiple clinics and found that Clutch stood out to me because their mission statement acknowledged relatable frustrations, including those I’ve had with my recurring injuries and subpar physical therapy treatments. Over the course of 10 weeks, James has helped me immensely with assessments of my running form, teaching me exercises for injury prevention, and hands on rehab of parts of body that irked me throughout training (all of ankles, knees, IT band, hips, lower back, etc). I finished both training and the marathon without injury and am so grateful for James for helping me to be healthy, strong, and pain free! James is incredibly compassionate and professional, and I very much look forward to working with him as I train for my next race!”
“Dr. Josh Grahlman is a diagnostic and rehabilitation expert. Best in the business.”
“I have been to several PTs over the years and Clutch is in a whole different league. Experienced doctors who take the time to understand and diagnose your injury and come up with a customized treatment plan. These are true professionals.”
“In the world of physical therapy, Clutch PT is a boutique service provider: individualized attention, insight informed by experience and expert care that ensure your path back to health is a speedy one.
I came to Clutch PT after a pinched nerve in my neck left me with numbness and tingling in my fingers and pain in my arm. I had tried PT at one of the larger clinics but felt my care was fragmented and ill-informed as I dealt with a different 20-something each time I went. It felt they were just following the prescribed guidelines for treating my condition but didn’t “get it” or me.
What I love about seeing Josh is that he recognized immediately how the pain emanating from my neck arose from weakness in other parts of my body and posture issues. He not only addressed the immediate pain but has worked with me to strengthen my body so that I have avoided repeated injury since. I am an athlete so getting back to working out (rock climbing) was extremely important to me. I wouldn’t trust my PT to anyone but Clutch.”
“My PT Ray Delacruz is highly knowledgeable, skilled, attuned, friendly, and respectful.”
“I started treatment with Clutch PT in early 2013 when I was dealing with chronic Achilles and knee injuries. After just a few months of therapy, strengthening exercises, stretching and using a foam roller, I found myself able to train injury-free and therefore consistently. That consistency led me to my first Kona qualification, then a win at Ironman Maryland in 8:51, followed by placing 72nd in the world at the Ironman World Championships in 2015. With Clutch PT keeping my body together and running efficiently, I’ve been able to achieve things that I had only dreamed about before working with Clutch PT. Thank you!!!”
“Josh is the best physical therapist in NYC. He is honest, reliable, and so knowledgeable about what he does, it’s honestly amazing. Bottom line: Josh gets you better!”
“I had a great experience at Clutch PT — they are so knowledgable and helpful. The one-to-one PT-patient format is so much more beneficial than the PT experiences I’ve had in the past. Highly recommend!”
“When I first reached out to Josh, just like every injured athlete, my injury was “a priority” and it needed all the attention in the world. I wanted to 1) understand what I had, 2) understand how I got to this point, and 3) understand what I needed to do and how long it’d take to heal. Josh made it VERY easy to work around my schedule so that neither my work or my training would get impacted. Josh diagnosed a tendinitis and suggested that I get a MRI to rule out further damage (ie. Stress fracture). Josh treated me for 5 weeks, giving me exercises to do at home to speed up the recovery and strengthen my leg to reduce the chances of getting injured again. Josh looked at my shoes and suggested that the tendinitis could have come from the shoe I was wearing. I was over compensating and as a result put too much stress on my tendon. I went from barely being able to walk to racing a 70.3 in 8 weeks. I was skeptical about my chances to do the race, but that was before I met Josh and realized that he not only knows the body mechanics in and out, makes it easy to understand the root cause, but he also understands athletes’ needs. The tendinitis never flared up again, 1.5+ years after he treated me, which is amazing given the volume of running that I do on a weekly basis. I went on to have some strong race results at IM Coeur d’Alene this year and competed twice at the IM World Championships in Kona. One thing worth noting is that my doctor wanted me to have surgery, because that seems to be their #1 solution to all injuries… If you are in need of a PT, I would seriously consider giving Josh a call and check out Clutch PT. You’ll have to do your part and do the exercises he’ll give you, but if you follow his recommendations, you’ll be back on the horse in no time.”
“After running 3 NY Marathons and 7 NY Half marathons, I developed an incredibly painful lower back condition. I saw Josh 2 times a week who helped me understand my imperfections and what I had done all of these years to compensate for them. It was now time to build strength around the areas that would help the rest of me become more aligned. We worked together at the clinic and I was also given a series of exercises to do at home for my core and glutes which ultimately got me feeling much stronger and my pain to disappear. After not even being able to go more than 2 miles without pain, Josh got me strong enough to do the Great Cow Harbor 10k on Long Island in September. That’s me at the finish in this photo. It was incredible that I was able to be out there considering my condition a month prior to the race. Months later, Josh helped me yet again overcome an issue with my left leg’s IT band and vastus lateralis. After being only able to do a few miles, I am currently training for the NYC Half in 2 weeks. I do my exercises daily and continue to feel the benefits from working with Josh each day. Beyond the physical component, I could always count on Josh for his mental toughness approach, his wisdom and incredible guidance on what and what not to do. Thanks for always getting me comfortable and ready at the starting line!!”
“From ITB issues to a femoral stress fracture to two postpartum comebacks, the Clutch PT team has put me back together every time and has kept me racing competitively for years. I first came with ITB pain and a huge chip on my shoulder about needing physical therapy. Not only does Clutch treat whatever pain is currently making me freak out, they patiently diffuse my Type-A competitive stubbornness. They GET IT, listen to me, and never tell me to stop doing everything; they find ways to keep me going. They also helped me understand the importance of strength training to avoid getting injured in the first place. They are all super passionate about sports, and just as passionate about seeing patients succeed. In the years since I started working with them, I’ve become an Ironman, ultra marathon finisher, mom x 2 and Boston qualifier x 3. There is no one else I would trust to take care of the only body I get.”
“Josh possesses a winning combination of abilities that I have not seen in other physiotherapy professionals – he is highly skilled, creative, takes an exceptional interest in his patients’ well-being and produces excellent results.”
