"They were persistent in finding the cause of my problem & getting me back to a healthy state."

In May of 2012, my future became quickly uncertain, as I suffered an unknown infection that took several months to clear and left me 25 pounds under my healthy weight and with severe dysfunctions in breathing, swallowing and eating solid food. After several attempts to get my health back so that I could be strong enough to work again as a manual therapist, I decided to take a class on visceral mobilization with the IPA instructor and therapist, Dean Hazama. By the end of that weekend, I was able to swallow solid food for the 1st time in 1 year! It took time and patience and a lot of anatomy books, problem solving and perseverance, but Dean never gave up. More importantly, he never let me give up! I am undoubtedly forever grateful for him and for all of the beautiful people I met at IPA Manhattan who encouraged me to fight to get every part of my life back.

I am back playing golf without shoulder pain!

I came to IPA Manhattan Physical Therapy after moving to New York City in 2016. I had worked with other FMT (Functional Manual Therapist) trained therapists in India and had found great help with my shoulder issues. I was very impressed after working with Dean not only about his skills and understanding as a therapist but also his out of the box thinking around treating my shoulder. Dean along with Pete were very helpful in getting me back on track with tennis and other physical activities. Dean also communicated with my trainers/acupuncturist to make sure they were on the same page with respect to my recovery and ability to start using my shoulder more. As I write this I am returning from a 3 day golf trip after playing 54 Holes and couldn’t have imagined doing this a year ago.

"I am again able to site long periods of time without pain."

There are three aspects to my time at IPA Manhattan that have distinguished the IPA team from all other physical therapists I have visited. Their attention to detail, their full approach to treatment, and their trust in the patient has made my experience with IPA and Dean Hazama sincerely incomparable. Before coming to IPA Manhattan, I had been dealing with multiple years of discomfort that left me unable to sit for more than 30 minutes at a time. My goal when coming to IPA was to mitigate my pain and to get through the day. With Dean’s help, I have been able to surpass that. I’ve become more active since working with Dean, and most important to me, I’ve been able to sit a full day without discomfort.

"My Knee Improved Significantly In A Way That No One Else Was Able To Help Me With"

I cannot recommend IPA stronger or more enthusiastically, specifically Brad who has simply worked magic after a full year of a painfully slow and difficult recovery after injury. I have seen great physiotherapists in Germany, London and New York but did not progress further after 12 months and felt stuck. Brad’s approach is so holistic, comprehensive and unique – within one session he managed to fundamentally change my level of pain. The encouragement and hope from that initial assessment and treatment is priceless: I cannot put into words how much it meant to me.

Dean Hazama is a truly gifted physical therapist who cares deeply for his patients. He is the ONLY person who has been able to make a real difference in the headaches that I’ve suffered from nearly continuously ever since I had a bad concussion in a bike accident several years ago. Other PT’s and doctors were able to alleviate the pain temporarily, but only Dean made a lasting change. He combines a profound knowledge of the body’s neuromuscular and visceral connections with a holistic attention to detail, and the results are just amazing. After years of chronic and debilitating headaches, mine are nearly gone now! Thank you, Dean, for giving me back my life!!!

"They persist until they find the source of your problem"

Their expertise is quickly apparent, and they persist until they’ve figured out the source of your problem. I always walk out of IPA Manhattan feeling renewed and almost not so old and arthritic! Dean takes the time to coordinate with other doctors and to make sure that they are helping you. I never feel like IPA Manhattan is just trying to take your money. They do all that they can to help you heal yourself.
