Looking for PHYS THERAPIST / BIOMECHANICs expert in the NEW YORK CITY / tri state area

Jay DiCharry, but he's now in Oregon

Eric Magrum PT at UVA Charlottesville

Robert Wilder MD at UVA Charlottesville

thanks, looking for things closer to NYC though.

bumping for any other recommendations?

Not sure if you've heard of Drexel University in Philly but there's a guy there named Robert Maschi he's a PT that does gait analysis. He recently worked on me with my IT band syndrome and his report was pretty legit for fixing what needs to be fixed. Its given me a lot of direction in terms of like my muscle imbalances and problems with my form. I'd highly recommend. Not sure if Philly's to far but its closer than the other places. His email is Ram425@drexel.edu my copay wasn't bad at all.

Try:

Tom Nohilly in New Jersey - he is one of the coaches with Gags of the NJNYTC and should be able to point you in the right direction.

Jim or Phil Wharton in NY...they are the stretching and alignment gurus...

Jeannette Anderson at Anderson chiropractic near midtown...highly experienced with runners, both novice and elite.

All of them should be able to assist...you were not specific with the injury.

Thanks for the responses so far, very helpful! Still looking for more recommendations on physical therapists / biomechanics experts if anyone has more input

Bump - I know there must be other recommendations out there

Call the office of Dr Lewis G Maharam who works with Nets NBA players and elite marathon runners, including Meb (before anyone says something, I know he's not Meb's primary sports doc).

He works with a physical therapist who has about 50 years experience. Unfortunately I can't remember his name, I think it's Tzri something. The PT takes insurance, the doctor charges about $400 a visit. Just call the office and ask for the PT.

If you want massage and acupuncture for a specific injury, call Bruce Mandelbaum. He is merciless but you get outstanding results. He works with the Central Park Track Club Olympic development squad. It's about $80 a session. Check him out on YouTube

Adding chiropractors who specialize in treating runners and triathletes:

Michael Conlon (East-Side)

David Simon Williams (Upper West-Side)

make the trip down to Charlottesville. It's worth it buddy

I went to Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC and all they did was have a bunch of non-runner MDs try to tell me to switch sports. Why? My goal is to run a 2:30 marathon and I've been running for 15 years. Why should I change sports? These MDs don't have a clue. Many of them are 4-5 hour marathoners and think a runner should train no more than 35mpw for a marathon and rest 2-3 days per week....

NYC (and also much of the tri state area) is a big clusterfvck. It's full of doctors giving hobbyjogger advice and charging up the wazoo

and PTs in that area for the most part are convinced that to race a marathon well (or any distance race such as mile, 3K, or 5K) all you need is 30mpw....what id like to call hobbyjogger advice

may be worth a visit as well if you can spare a 300dollar flight....i swear these two places are the best...dont waste time with hobbyjogger advisors
