Evan and team are amazing! Ive been treated for two different injuries at Fortius and could not be happier with the level of service. From the initial diagnosis to the last day of treatment, the team is incredibly thorough - not to mention very fun to be around. They go above and beyond to help you in recovery and make sure youre comfortable and feeling your best along the way.
I have been a patient at Fortius for over a year now for two different injuries and the care is extraordinary. Evan worked on a back injury of mine for approx 6 months until it was healed, after several other doctors had failed to help. Hes also rehabbed my hamstring injury remotely during COVID, and the care was just as great as it had been in the office. Hes truly an expert in his field and the culture he cultivates with his patients is one of a kind. I cant say enough great things about Fortius!!
While Im not a fan of the injuries that put me in physical therapy, I love working with Even and the team at Fortius.Ive gone a couple times over the past 5 years, once for a knee injury training for a 5k roughly 4 years ago and again just a few months ago for neck and back pain. Both times Evan has helped to design a solid training regimen with a defined end-goal in mind, had been transparent when discussing the mechanics and medicine involved (making it understandable even with my limited knowledge of body mechanics), and has given me an arsenal of exercises to do at home to maintain the strength Ive developed and make sure Im not coming back soon for the same issue.The staff at Fortius are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and you can tell that they all love what they do. The office environment always feels like Im stepping in to a tight friend group that is happy to bring you into the fold and have a good time while youre on the mend.I hope that I dont have to make use of Evans skills anytime soon, but believe me that he will be the first person I call if needed.I would highly, highly recommend Fortius to anyone out there!
I absolutely love Fortius. I found the midtown location through a friend and as a college student in the city, it was super convenient to do my physical therapy there because of the super flexible hours. I had a lot going on with my hip injury and Evan was able to get to the bottom of it. I am now totally fine and back to being pain free, thanks to him. The atmosphere is great and Fortius is the only physical therapy practice in the city that was straight up with me about insurance because I called several other places that lied and were shady about being in-network with my plan. I cannot recommend Fortius enough!
I discovered Fortius in 2016 - a friend gave them raving reviews. So I went and Fortius did not disappoint - they were extremely professional and knowledgeable and went beyond dispensing exercises. They really helped me understand the reasons why I got injured and taught me movement and exercises that have helped relieve pain and prevent the same injury from occurring. Fast forward to 2020, I had a different injury and did not shop around at all - I went back to Fortius based on my previous experience. I found that they had adapted to COVID and helped me to feel safe going there 3x a week for a few months - they again took time to understand the nature of my injury, took time to understand and properly diagnose and set me on the path to a proper recovery.
I came to this practice as a skeptic about benefits of physical therapy and came out loving it 4 months after starting. I had bunion surgery and the staff at Fortius took wonderful care of me and helped me through the recovery. The staff are very courteous, knowledgeable and sweet. Highly recommend this place!
I visited Fortius going to weekly appointments over the past few months. During my time there, I found the staff at Fortius to be unbelievable – they were friendly (even super early in the morning), helpful, punctual, knowledgeable and always able to answer any questions I had. The team designed different exercises specifically to address my pain and each appointment was a pleasure to attend. Evan and his team were able to help me get better and I would highly recommend Fortius to anyone who needed physical therapy.
Best physical therapy practice in all of NYC! I have been to many different physical therapy places and nothing compares to Fortius! Evan and his team care about your recovery and getting you back to doing what you love. Their attention to detail, encouragement and their professionalism sticks out over any practice I have ever been too. I highly recommend going here if you need physical therapy - I know I will be back in the future. Thanks Fortius for allowing me to go skiing again!
My husband and I have both been going to Fortius Physical Therapy over the past three years. We are both runners and have had various injuries that Evan and the team at Fortius have been able to help us Manage. The team are always friendly, flexible, attentive and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!!
Evan and everyone at Fortius were so helpful and encouraging as I rehabbed an ankle injury. The best part was that Evan didnt tell me to just stop running until it felt better (the easy answer!), he gave me exercises and tips for how to work through the injury while reducing mileage, but I was still able to run. Marie also really helped me out!
I am writing this to give Fortius Physical Therapy my highest endorsement. I had shoulder surgery July, 2020 and had to begin PT 2 weeks later. The surgeon had given me a list of PT people and when I looked them up – they either did not take my insurance or they looked like large factories. I went in search for my own PT provider and found Fortius – where I will always return whenever I need PT and I will always recommend to anyone who needs PT services. The diagnostic process was complete and explained to me thoroughly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. (Their Covid-19 procedures are exceptional). The staff and practioners are knowledgeable, friendly, caring and they listen to you. They dealt with all the insurance matters (a load off my mind) – and all I had to concentrate on was doing my progressive program of recovery – which was amended as I progressed. I reached 100% full recovery and have maintained that recovery since. I highly recommend Fortius Physical Therapy for anyone who wants a caring staff, personal attention and a positive experience on the road to recovery.
I’ve been going to Fortius on and off for the past 10 years or so. Back in 2010, Jim helped me recover from an ACL surgery on my left knee. Recently during the summer of 2019, Evan and the team worked with me after an arthroscopic surgery on a torn meniscus in my right knee. There’s a reason I’ve been going here for years!The Fortius staff is incredible and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with. Thanks again for all your hard work!
I have been going to Evan at Fortius since 2016 for various different injuries. Him and his team are always super attentive and really responsive to any concerns or questions I may have. Whenever I had emergency / sporadic injuries that needed attention, Evan made a point to fit me into his schedule to address the issue even with very little notice. Over the last few years, his team has helped me recover from a shoulder impingement, wrist surgery, and lower back mobility and I am sure Ill keep coming back for other injuries to come!
Ive gone to Fortius PT for two separate injuries at my brothers recommendation and would 100% go back should another injury pop-up. Fortius has a great atmosphere and you know you are in good hands with Evan and the rest of the team. They are very responsive and committed to your recovery. Thank you Evan and everyone else at Fortius!
I highly recommend Fortius PT. I have experienced other PT facilities and none can compare to my experience at Fortius. As a marathoner, Fortius has treated me for several injuries and not just back to health, but carefully examined my running style to determine how to make me stronger and more mobile. The Fortius team cares. They dig deep to find the source of your pain and come up with a long-term game plan. Fortius is family. You trust that they have your best interests at hand and make you feel at home. Fortius is fun. After your recovery, you will miss them! Thank you Evan and the Fortius team!
I herniated a disc in May, and was in excruciating pain for months before I started physical therapy sessions with Evan in July.Doing my sessions with Evan saved me from the debilitating pain I was in, and Im now at the point that I dont even think about my back injury. Nothing helped until I started physical therapy.All of this was done virtually over Zoom, since my injury occurred during the heights of Covid here in New York, but that didnt stop Evan from giving me excellent service.Evan (and Ricky) are the simply the best, and Im not sure I can express how spectacular the people at Fortius truly are.
I first started going here 5 years when I injured my left ankle and Evan and his team did an amazing job in getting my ankle back in shape. This year I injured my right ankle and I had to wear a boot because I couldnt walk on it. When I needed physical therapy I chose Evan once again because of the success I had the last time I was there. Now I feel like I was never injured to begin with. Evan and his team customize a program that works for you and they never rush you out of there when the hour is up. Its a very casual atmosphere which makes it enjoyable to go to.
I recommend Fortius to all my friends/colleagues/strangers at parties. I had such a positive experience working with Evan (and Adam/Shelby, etc.) and looked forward to every appointment because of the positive and encouraging environment fostered at Fortius. I gained so much knowledge on how to care for myself, and also saw drastic improvement in my specific injury. Im very grateful for my experience there and will be headed back whenever I need PT again!
I had a great experience at Fortius. I went in with a sore shoulder and through their guidance I was able to get back to strength. Evan and the team there are all very friendly and professional. They will help you build a custom program just for your specific area of need. They will also give you stretches and strength exercises you do at home. Highly Recommended!
Fortius helped me get through one of the longest and most painful recoveries there is - a torn ACL. My goal was to get back to playing competitive soccer and after 7 months at therapy, I feel like Im almost back at that level. Everyone at Fortius is extremely friendly and easy to talk to, yet motivating enough to get you through a tough workout. Overall: 11/10.
I could not recommend Fortius more. Evan and his team were the first people to take my ankle/foot injury seriously. I was in PT with Evan for about 9 months and Evan was patient with me throughout the entire process, even when I was not heeding his advice. I think Evan is particularly skilled in working with runners and handling running injuries. While I had to miss the 2018 NYC Marathon, I know Evan set me on the right path to remain injury free and run the 2019 Marathon.
Evan helped me with a pain I was experiencing with my hip for the last year. He was able to determine my issue and design a plan that recovered my hip completely. Since my pain was bothering me during the coronavirus our appointments were virtual. He was able to determine my issue and recover my pain ALL virtually. He was always willing to answer any questions I had as they arose. I highly recommend Fortius Physical Therapy.
Love this place. Ive had a lot of PT over the years for a variety of injures and ailments and I usually found myself disappointed in the service. Typically, you meet with one of the main PTs and have a session or two with them. Then you get shuffled off to an assistant for the remainder of your therapy. This usually results in you doing cookie-cutter exercises and routines, often on your own. Or they hook you up to a machine and ignore you for a while. But Fortius takes a far more personal approach. My initial evaluation was conducted by Evan, one of the co-owners. Evan is a Columbia graduate and he really knows what hes doing. He asks a lot of questions and thinks things through rather than jumping to conclusions. I worked directly with Evan quite a bit. And even when I worked with one of the assistants, Evan was always close by, checking on me and consulting with the assistant. The treatment was superb. They didnt force an approach on me. Instead, they worked very deliberately with me, progressing through the exercises and range of motion work in a highly personalized manner. With each session, we always made what felt like maximum progress without ever pushing too far. I had them treat a horribly fractured clavicle and, thanks to them, my strength and range of motion came back quickly and completely. It was remarkable. They also treated a nagging thigh muscle injury requiring some deep and nasty myofascial release work, which Evan did manually. I needed him to break up a lot of old scar tissue and he really, really put a lot of energy into this. It hurt like hell, but its exactly what I needed and wanted and Evan was willing to break a sweat giving it his all! The office is small and modest so if youre impressed with places that look like high tech gyms then you wont be blown away when you first walk in. But if top-notch, personal, and effective treatment is what youre after, then youll love Fortius. Plus, all the people there, including the other clients, are really nice people.
I highly recommend Fortius for your physical therapy needs. After a comprehensive consultation, Evan and his team provided a structured PT plan, that was executed almost entirely via telehealth. I’ve gone to Fortius for many running-related injuries over the years, the thing I appreciate most is their willingness to listen and adapt PT program to my max benefit. While I hope not to injure myself anytime soon, if I do, I’ll be going back to Fortius.
Evan and his team are wonderful! They are thoughtful in their diagnosis and rehab program. The team is incredibly positive and its a great motivating environment. I left with my hip feeling 100% stronger and better. I could finally run again with no pain. They provided me clear directions on how to maintain my positive gains. I highly recommend them!
I broke my toe over the summer. I work on my feet and was having trouble moving my toe (and foot) in normal everyday motions, needless to say my everyday life was a bit difficult. Evan and the team at Fortius worked with me for 3 months to help get my toe back in shape. While the process was at times difficult, I am so pleased with th results. My toe feels great, I have had no problem being on my feet, and I was easily able to resume my previous physical activities. If I could give Fortius 100 star I would. The team is incredible and so kind. But most of all they will give you incredible results. Thanks team Fortius!!
Ive been to Fortius for two seperate injuries. From the day 1 I knew I was in good hands with Evan and his team. They immediately assess the best plan for you, explain everything as you progress, always making you feel proactive and optimistic.
Evan and his team at Fortius met with me at my lowest in life. I had herniated 3 discs as a new and first time mother. I walked in weakest I have ever been. I wanted nothing more but to be the best and strongest version for my child. After 2 months I was stronger than before. I really cannot thank them enough. They are knowledgeable and take their time and give the utmost attention to what keeps you up at night!
I was a patient at Fortius PT virtually due to Covid. I can not recommend Fortius and Evan enough! Evan provided me with the tools and exercises I needed to get rid of pain I was having, and made sure I was able to complete them at home. Evan was readily available to answer any questions I had through email and our televisits were great. Highly recommend!!
I had a wonderful experience with Jim and his team–after having surgery on knee to repair my ACL and meniscus, it was a long road to hoe in terms of therapy, but their approach is hands on, consistent, and extremely knowledgeable. They pushed me just the right amount, and Jim and I worked together to get my knee and my leg back to better than fighting shape! Within just a year from my surgery, I completed my first Ironman!I still do a lot of the exercises Jim recommended almost every day. Whatever your goals are, Fortius can give you the therapy and strengthening you need to help you achieve them.
I needed a program to recover from a pretty badly twisted ankle and some tips to alleviate pain in my knees. Jim Trakis very rapidly provided me with a program to improve both my ankle and knee, provided an at home exercise routine to make the recovery faster and provided invaluable advises to help me out on the longer term. Jim is extremely professional, knowledgeable and listen to what the patient has to say. Contrary to some other practices, the treatments he recommend are solely dedicated to improve / solve your issues. Jim, Lauren and the rest of the Fortius staff make you feel good, are extremely welcoming and help at every corner of the recovery.Overall, I highly recommend the fantastic team that makes Fortius Physical Therapy.
I started my PT before the pandemic with Evan and then had to go virtual with my appointments for awhile that were handled seamlessly. Evan helped me get my torn bicep back through his expertise and workout plans he devised for me. I would highly recommend FORTIUS to anyone who needs to rehab.
I have been dealing with lower lumbar pain for much of the last year, brought on by working from home in non-supportive chairs during COVID lockdown and, as it turns out, old dance injuries cropping up. After having a bad experience with a physical therapist in a major hospital system in town, someone recommended I go to a doctor of physical therapy and referred me to Dr. Bracconeri. The difference was night and day. I was immediately put at ease, and after months of not really understanding the medical speak other doctors had thrown at me, by the end of my first session I left not only with a practical understanding of what was going on in my body but a plan of stretches and exercises to address it.He and his excellent team address issues using a mix of massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises, including at-home regimens to do between visits, and are always checking in on progress and changes and adjusting along the way. When my first issue--pelvic misalignment--was (literally) straightened out, Dr. B continued to address lingering tightness and pain in my hip and leg, and was the first to suggest that I might have a secondary issue in my left hip. Thanks to his guidance, I persisted with my doctors until an MRI was done and confirmed a labral tear--which had been his hunch. It means the world to have trusted, positive, committed professionals to help navigate the often confusing and intimidating world of medical advice, and I highly recommend this practice to anyone with PT needs!
I developed a wicked case of plantar fasciitis in spring of 2019. After seeing multiple doctors and PTs with little-to-no improvement, I turned to Evan. Evan was able to identify the root causes of my ailment and put together a stretching and exercise program to address those issues. After a few months in Evan’s care, I was pain free and back on the basketball court. Would highly recommend.
Highly Recommend! Evan and team are amazing. The attention to detail, hands on approach, and great atmosphere is unprecedented. After being diagnosed with a left hip labral tear, Evan developed a dynamic PT plan often spending 60-90 minutes walking me through the program. After only 5 months he was able to mitigate the 2 years of pain which existed prior to PT. Intend to return for any future injuries.
Love this place, its one of the better Physical Therapy places that Ive been and Ive had a lot of PT over the years. Everyone is really down to earth and I am treated the same as the athletes that come in. I have been to other places where I was shown the exercises and then ignored until it was time to show me the next one. Evan who is my physical therapist is really knowledgeable and the staff are all friendly and attentive to your needs. Oh and since its a small shop you dont have to worry about any of the billing craziness and mix ups that Ive heard horror stories about from some of my friends.
Evan and his whole staff are a pleasure! It’s a welcoming space with focuses on your unique needs. All backed by great collaboration, knowledge, science that is specific to your injury and bio-mechanics.I came in for a very specific foot/pivot injury that other PT’s could not identify solves for while being sensitive to my mobility demands (golf bio-mechanics & cross training)5 stars
Everyone in this office is excellent. After months of being unable to go on my daily run due to knee pain, Evan got me running again, and the exercises he taught me have kept me in good shape ever since. Plus, everyone in the office is so nice and supportive; it feels like a family there. I am so grateful for all their help!
Total pros, and very friendly as well. I went in with a crippling muscle spasm and a locked-up upper back. Over a few weeks, Jim Trakis and Evan were able to eliminate the pain and give me more mobility in my back than Ive had in years. Im a software developer who sits for many hours a day and this has made a great difference for me. I appreciated that Jim and his crew attacked not just the immediate problem of the muscle spasm, but the surrounding areas involved in the underlying problem. Incredibly knowledgeable people. The office is small, but the atmosphere and the people are great!
I went to Fortius PT for 7 months to rehab my ACL injury and I was extremely happy with not only my physical therapy experience, but also the staff’s friendliness and knowledge. I returned to full health thanks to Fortius.
The physical therapists are excellent. Their detailed preliminary analysis is completely comprehensive. I like that the new interns come in from Columbia University and bring the latest techniques with them. Staff is professional and friendly
This is a great staff you will always feel like you are the only patient in the room. Evan Bracconeri is insanely talented his treatment plan for me was creative and collaborative and was seriously focused on my recovery from a pretty bad car accident ..he was extremely intuitive and it is what I really needed for my recovery... thanks guys
Evan and his team make rehabbing an injury a more pleasant experience. Super knowledgeable and professional in a laid back atmosphere.
Jim and staff are the absolute best at what they do. Jims really got the healing touch and I would recommend him and the staff to anyone who has an injury and needs PT.
Great place for physical therapy! I had treatment at other physical therapy places, but nothing beats the care and attention that Fortius provides.
I had a great experience and outcome at Fortius. Friendly and encouraging staff and a very results-based approach made all the difference for me. Very highly recommended!
Evan and his team work hard to make sure you progress. 10/10 would recommend to others. Next time Im broken, Ill be back.
Best Physical Therapy Office ever! They for sure cater to all your PT needs and so much more.
Jim and his staff were very professional and great to work with I was lucky to find them.
Evan and his team are spectacular.
I went to Fortius for hip pain which was diagnosed as a labral tear (I believe it was caused by 20 years of ballet classes). I went for 6 months and I could always make early morning appointments before work. Evan and the entire office are very friendly and answered all my question and explained what the exercises were doing and why various movements were hurting me. They gave me an exercise and stretch routine, which I can do at home, that will keep the injury from reoccurring.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff plus welcoming atmosphere
Awesome team!

2021-11-19Ive gone to a lot of PTs for my sciatic pain. It wasnt until I started working with Evan that I really started to make progress. Its not easy to make physical therapy enjoyable, but its always a great atmosphere here. The positivity at the office really helps when youre doing the exercises, not to mention Evan really explains body mechanics really well, so you know what goals youre looking to achieve and what you can do to get there. If you need physical therapy, this is the place you want to be to get it done.

2022-02-20I went to Fortius for help with some knee pain after overdoing it cycling/running. Evan and his team were amazing- they are incredibly knowledgeable and patient and helped me understand what was going on and what we were doing to treat it. Another huge plus is that they take my insurance!

2022-07-20I visited Fortius for patellar tendonitis in my knee and had a wonderful experience. Evan and his staff were extremely friendly, flexible with appointment times, and designed a regiment that strengthened my knee and allows me to bike and hike without issues.

2021-04-15I have been working with Evan and his great team at Fortius Physical Therapy. Evan is a gifted and compassionate physical therapist. He is an astute listener who offers and welcomes feedback in a positive manner. Evan has continually fine-tuned my exercise program over the course of the treatment. As a result, his careful efforts have helped to reduce significantly my hip and back pain. Thank you Evan! You truly are the best!

2022-02-23Evan and Chris take a very holistic approach to PT. They’re really invested in making you feel comfortable while tailoring your program in a way that’s both specific to your needs and sustainable.Highly recommend them — beyond knowing what they’re doing they make PT a whole lotta fun!Grateful to be running again after several weeks off due to planter fasciitis!

2021-01-27The Fortius team helped me through a leg injury that came up during my marathon training. They made me feel hopeful and welcomed throughout the whole recovery process. And after about 8-9 weeks, I was fully recovered, and because of them, I am finally out running in Central Park again with the biggest smile ever!The staff at Fortius are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and you can tell that they all love what they do.I would highly, highly recommend Fortius to anyone out there!

2021-08-03I first went to Fortius about a broken ankle, and ended up going there about twice a week for five months. Evan was terrific, as was everyone working with him in the office. What could have been an extremely frustrating and painful process went as smooth as I could imagine it. They were clear about what was happening with my rehab, challenged me while still making me feel supported, and got me back on my feet. Im running, biking, doing everything I was before. Their attitudes are awesome and they know what theyre doing.

2021-08-03This place is incredible! Ive struggled with upper back / neck pain and headaches for years. As a cyclist, any extra tightness that area would make long rides really rough. Evan at Fortius was able to diagnose this chronic problem, start treating me, and get me much more mobile and pain-free (!) in just a handful of sessions. I still do exercises they gave me on a regular basis, and I have to say, Im feeling better than I have in years. Highly recommend.

2021-11-14Evan and his team are committed to getting to the root of their patients’ injuries and/or long-standing conditions. Evan’s assessment of my gait and calf tightness was really helpful and my sessions with him over 2.5 months have enhanced my overall mobility and flexibility.

2020-03-18Highly recommend coming to Fortius if you find yourself in need of physical therapy. Evan and his team are incredibly patient and kind and stay attentive during your entire visit, even while youre performing solo exercises. They do a great job of giving you the tools you need to work on your injuries at home, too. And if you ever need questions answered without coming in, Evan is super quick to respond via email or phone. Plus, while injuries arent exactly fun, Fortius has the best, most uplifting atmosphere of any PT place Ive been!
