Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy addresses musculoskeletal dysfunction through skilled hand techniques. Our therapists use joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and stretching to reduce pain and restore mobility. This evidence-based approach targets biomechanical issues at their source, offering faster recovery for conditions like neck pain and sciatica.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Our vestibular rehab program treats dizziness and balance disorders caused by inner ear conditions. Using customized exercises, we improve gaze stability, posture, and coordination. Patients experience reduced vertigo symptoms and regain confidence in daily activities through one-on-one specialist care.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized pelvic floor treatment addresses dysfunction in all genders. Our therapists combine manual techniques, biofeedback, and education to resolve issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic pain. The program includes pre/post-natal care and works collaboratively with obstetricians for comprehensive women's health support.
ICT Treatment
Developed by our founder, ICT accelerates tissue healing through controlled blood flow restriction. This patented method stimulates cellular repair mechanisms to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and reduced reliance on invasive procedures through this scientifically validated vascular and myofascial technique.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Our surgical rehab program follows orthopedic and neurological procedures. Certified therapists create phased recovery plans focusing on mobility restoration and complication prevention. Using progressive therapeutic exercises and advanced modalities, we help patients safely return to normal function while minimizing scar tissue formation.

Vinita Mody is amazing and so is her staff. I hesitated going in due to stubborness, but my limping took a toll on my boyfriend. Needless to say, I went, I'm happy and I can run! I'll definitely continue to make appointments to help maintain my active lifestyle. I'm actually looking forward to going back for more - limping is not as cool as it sounds, would way rather strut. Thanks Vinita and the Stroma Team!

This review is long overdue. Stroma Physical Therapy is most definitely the best physical therapy facility in all of New York, and maybe in the country. Vinita, the founder, is an extremely talented physical therapist who constantly uses her ingenuity to create ways to heal her patients. She also possesses a trait that is of the utmost importance for any health care provider: Compassion. Her supporting staff are all equally wonderful. Her right hand woman, Mairead, is the hardest working, extremely pleasant and intelligent professional anyone would want to work with. The NYC facility is spacious

Stroma is the best physical therapy practice Ive ever been to, and Ive been to a lot! After twenty years of managing chronic pain and various injuries, they have made a pain free future a reality for me. All of the therapists are incredible. They work together as a team and truly care about you getting better. I give Stroma an enthusiastic and unqualified recommendation.

I had lower back pain and plantar fasciitis for years. I went through 4 PT offices with little to no results. Stroma has a very different approach that finally helped me get better!
