Reviews of James Fowler Physical Therapy (Physiotherapist)

Sam Rosen

Quite simply, there’s no physical therapist like James Fowler, and no practice like his. Before receiving a referral to James—an act I’m endlessly grateful for—I had seen countless therapists over a decade-long period. None compares: in knowledge, approach, or level of care. James and his staff understand nuances of the body that are critical not only to recovery, but also to thriving as an individual. He’s changed my life—both through his own work and by creating a team of specialists who have helped me address, at a young age, several different physical issues at once. My pain is at its lowest point in more than a decade; I’m playing tennis again; and I can see a path forward.

I had frozen shoulder and James Fowler and other therapists there did amazing work to get me out of a lot of pain. They showed me exercises to maintain my recovery and keep my progress going. The entire staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, competent, helpful and supportive. A very good atmosphere to be treated in and do the work you need to do.

If something hurts you, either because you have an injury or just generalized pain, you need to call James Fowler. James' approach to physical therapy is unique and personalized. James is an expert in the human body and knows how to locate the root cause of the pain. James will also educate you on how to improve strength to avoid future pain and injury. James has helped me immeasurably. I trust him and his knowledgeable staff implicitly, and routinely visit to maintain the benefits that I have gained. I highly recommend James Fowler.

I've been to other places for physical therapy and the entire team here is united in the spirit of healing and recovery. They will make sure a potentially painful recovery is done at a comfortable pace with gentle yet assertive nudges along the way to make sure the patient does his/her part. My physical therapist, Terry, is a true healer who listens and acts accordingly.

Words fail me in trying to describe how knowledgeable, caring and attentive the staff at James Fowler PT is; this includes the therapists and office staff.... in fact, anyone associated with them. My wife and I have been clients for years and the level of care has always been superb.

My experience with the James Fowler Group has been exemplary. The staff has been professional, kind, helpful and a pleasure to work with. I came in to the office in very bad shape and they have help me regain my ability to walk again. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of Physical Therapy. Everyone there from the Therapists, movement trainers and office staff have made my experience there a pleasure.

James Fowler is BY FAR the best physical therapist I've ever been to and I recommend him without hesitation. I first met James a few years back when a sports doctor referred me to him. James completely cured my knee problems which had been chronically painful for more than a decade. Last year he cured my wife's knee problems. Most recently, 2 months ago I suffered a back injury which caused paralyzing pain to shoot down my right leg. Weeks went by as various doctors tried to figure out what exactly the problem was. Finally, one said "I think you need to see a PT." Ah - of course. Long story short - after seeing James only 3 times the pain I'd been suffering from for 6 weeks completely disappeared. THANKS, JAMES!!!! - Max

There is no one better to work with a runner on healing an injury and preventing another. Got to James Fowler through my doc and the doc was so right to insist that I bring my aching hip and hamstring to him.

This is the best physical therapy organization I have ever encountered. Prior to the weeks I have spent there re-learning and healing, I would have said that no such place could have existed. I was referred to James Fowler Physical Therapy by Dr. Nawabe at Hospital for Special Surgery, in order to better prepare myself for faster recovery after the surgery which we anticipated. Amazingly, at the 8 week followup session, I was told that, due to the positive impact of the therapy, I was no longer considered a candidate for surgery, and that I simply could continue and achieve the same or better result. The credit for this incredible new diagnosis belongs to each of the superlative people tasked with care and management in this space. It must be said that literally every single individual with whom I have engaged in this practice has been beyond helpful. My therapist, Christina Ramirez, has worked tirelessly to ensure the best result from our efforts, and has provided a program which has been nothing short of miraculous in its results. The trainers, e.g. Christian, Karen, Marissa, Zoë, et al, comprise a list of the most superbly competent and exceedingly mindful professionals one could possibly hope to enlist in the re-engineering of the body toward patterns of structural health. I have never had this kind of encouraging and clarifying attention focused on remedying my physical difficulties, minute by minute, repetition by repetition. Robert and the administrative and scheduling/processing personnel --especially Autumn-- are talented and organized in a manner unknown to virtually every medical-related facility in my experience. Access to online resources, useful email reminders, the changing facilities, the training area, the appropriate volume of unobtrusive music, the natural light, the seating area, the painless form submission process, excellent billing procedures, the well-designed training floor, fastidiously kept and up-to-date equipment, clean and comfortable manual therapy tables...I could go on and on. Having been subjected to the frustrations and inadequacies of the attention-deficit PT "factories" that are out there, I can say without reservation that James Fowler Physical Therapy is what physical therapy is meant to be, and that I am profoundly grateful to have received these wonderful people's care.

I am a long time patient of James Fowler - 20 years! I was born with club feet, and James has dedicated tremendous time and effort to helping me over the years. In fact, under his care, I’ve run 10 marathons and completed 4 triathlons! James gives highly personalized care and has a wonderful bedside manner. He truly cares about his patients and works hard to ensure that therapies and treatment plans are perfectly tailored to specific needs. In addition, everyone he brings into his office to assist with patient care is equally dedicated. I would wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone seeking outstanding physical therapy. He is someone who has really made a huge difference in outcomes for me!

Michelle Pfeifer

I highly recommend James Fowler PT. It is a wonderful space with great and professional staff who will do their very best to help you get better. The staff, therapists and trainers gave me the best treatment and were exceptionally supportive, attentive and warm, which makes all the difference when trying to get better.

Gary Leeds

I have known James about 10 years. He has successfully treated my shoulder, hip and hamstring injuries very successfully in a very professionally, diligent and friendly manner. His staff is very competent and friendly as well. I highly recommend his practice.

Jerzy Kurjanski

Best physical therapy office in the tri-state area. Very professional and experienced, super friendly staff, great atmosphere, and most importantly amazing results. Highly recommend to anyone in need of any type of physical treatment. I gave 5 stars only because 10 wasn't an option!

I was lucky enough to find this physical therapy practice in 2007 and have been each time I had an injury: about four times to date. James is extraordinarily intuitive about the body and what it is showing him regarding the injury. He also helpful in regard to your attitude to the injury and the exercises required of you between appointments. If I have to get injured, I feel a whole better having James in my corner. His staff are knowledgeable, gracious and gentle. The whole experience is pleasant and of the highest quality.

I had struggled with chronic injury due to running and scoliosis for 6 years and seen 5 physical therapists before receiving treatment from James. James completely transformed my progression and now I'm finally starting to run and spin again. What set James apart from the others was his knowledge, the time he spent with me, and the way he explained my injury and treatments in a way that made me understand what I was doing and why. Many therapists will give you exercises but they won't make sure you really "get it" and are doing it correctly. I felt James took genuine interest in my case and cared that I got better. James's impact was a game changer in my turning a corner towards getting back to normal activity after so many years of pain. His staff is also terrific and just as helpful.

After a shoulder injury put me and my workouts out of commission for awhile, I was nervous about seeing a physical therapist as I hadn't seen one before. The crew here at James Fowler PT are always in the best of spirits, welcoming, and best of all have gotten me to near full recovery. They've taught me great exercises to do at work and always work with me one on one at the office. I highly recommend coming here!

Jesse Wegman

I'm not exaggerating when I say James, Karen and the rest of the staff at JFPT have changed my life, and probably saved it, multiple times over the years. They are magicians in comfortable street clothes. I consider them therapists and family at the same time. I hope they stay in business forever.

I find James works from an intuitive point of view. Where he understands restorative exercise to heal the patient.

Jeffrey Rodriguez

Absolute professionals! The entire staff, from front desk to trainers to the therapists are all so caring and knowledgeable! You walk out feeling like a million bucks after therapy. They make sure you understand every step of your treatment and reevaluate your progress as needed to make sure your goals are met. I've recommended all of my friends and family for any of their physical therapy needs!
