Following some recommendations from other NYC runners, I came to Prehab in summer 2025 with some persistent hamstring pain and a goal to run the marathon in November. They brought me all the way from unable to run without pain to finishing the marathon a minute and thirty seconds faster than I expected. I worked with Alex, Kyle, and Aaron, but mostly Aaron, and I couldn’t have been happier with the rapport and support. With some targeted work, I was back on the streets within a week or two. They cultivate a really lovely sense of community at Prehab and I quickly felt like part of something (I would usually never say something like that, but it is true here—everyone talked to me, they invited me to events, they learned about me and my personal life outside of running and PT). Everyone who works there is so very friendly (shout out to Emily especially). Aaron genuinely cared about my progress and, unlike other PTs I’ve been to, I was the center of attention for an hour solid each session. They gave me lots to work on at home and were responsive to questions. They analyzed my gait and gave me tips on how to become a more efficient runner (work in progress!). And we checked in on that over the course of several months to see how my form was progressing. All that said, if you want a runner-focused PT who knows the mechanics of running and is a great PT who can tailor the work to the running, and you can swing it, I’d highly recommend Prehab.
