Reviews of Lev Borukhov, DPT (Physiotherapist)

Simar Grewal Khaira

Over the last four years Lev has helped my mom, my husband, and I with longstanding pain. I would trust him to work on my toddler (though I hope to not find myself in that situation). At 29, I first saw Lev back in 2014 with debilitating back pain from a horseback riding injury, duck feet, and long hours of sitting at work. At the time I first saw him I was in pain in spite of being on a very strong dose of Naproxen. I was off medication after just 4 sessions with Lev and have been off medication since. 1.5 years later, the pain came back when I was living in Philadelphia and became pregnant. When I saw no improvement after going through multiple sessions of therapy in Philadelphia, I came to New York to see Lev (yes, only to see him!). Within a few sessions, my pain was gone and I went through my pregnancy and one year post partum without pain (even while regularly wearing my daughter in a baby carrier!). Fast forward four years to 2018, I am now strong enough to run around with my 2 year old and enjoy a very active lifestyle. Over the last two years, Lev has helped me re fix a ton of things that fell apart again when I had a c-section. I am now regularly running and doing activities that other doctors once told me were out of my league. I am living the life I want to as I am confident that Lev will fix me if I break again. Re my mom and husband: - My husband injured his knee from playing squash. Before seeing Lev he had been going for physical therapy once a week for over 3 months. Within a few sessions, he was able to play again without pain and now needs to see Lev only once in a while. - My mom injured her shoulder from carrying my daughter right after she was born. Lev was able to bring her pain down significantly after just 2 sessions. Since she lives in India, he coached her on exercises she could do herself to remain pain free (which thankfully she has). It won't be an over statement if I tell you that saying 'You need to see Lev' is a almost *reflex* action for me every time someone complains about pain. I cannot recommend Lev highly enough!!
