I've been seeing Natalie (physical therapist) at Wellness Den for over a year, and I can't recommend her highly enough. I first started treatment around 16 weeks pregnant when I was struggling with SI joint pain and it became painful to walk around. She worked with me throughout my pregnancy, and the difference she made was incredible. I truly credit much of my smooth labor and delivery to the preparation and care she provided leading up to it. I was able to learn so much about labor/what i needed from my body to ensure a good delivery. After being cleared by my OB-GYN postpartum, I returned to see Natalie and am now working through diastasis recti and plantar fasciitis (lol the joys of pregnancy is a gift that keeps on giving). Throughout every stage, she has been incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive. One thing I especially appreciate is that you get her full, undivided attention for the entire 40-minute session. At other clinics, I've often spent only a few minutes with the physical therapist before being handed off to a PTA. Having the same provider with you throughout the entire appointment makes such a difference in the quality of care. Wellness Den accepts Mt. Sinai's UMR insurance, which was huge because prior to that I'd had to trek to union square to go to other clinics. If you're looking for exceptional physical therapy care in the UES, I strongly recommend Natalie and the team at Wellness Den.
