What Our Forest Hills Patients Say About Us
How It Works at Determination Physical Therapy
Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a detailed assessment of your injury, mobility limitations, posture, strength, and movement patterns to identify the root cause of pain.
Customized Treatment Plan
Each rehabilitation plan is tailored to your specific condition and goals. Treatment may include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, stretching, and neuromuscular re-education.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Our therapists use hands-on methods to reduce stiffness, improve joint mobility, and decrease inflammation.
Strengthening and Injury Prevention
We focus on restoring muscle balance and improving biomechanics to prevent future injuries and ensure lasting recovery.
Common Orthopedic Conditions We Treat
Back and Neck Pain
We treat both acute injuries and chronic spine-related conditions that cause stiffness, inflammation, and limited mobility. Our goal is to reduce pain, improve posture, and restore healthy movement patterns.
Shoulder Injuries
From rotator cuff tears to impingement and frozen shoulder, we help relieve pain and restore full range of motion. Treatment focuses on strengthening, joint mobility, and correcting muscle imbalances.
Knee Pain
Whether caused by ACL injuries, meniscus tears, or arthritis, knee pain can limit everyday activities. Our therapy programs improve stability, reduce swelling, and rebuild strength for long-term relief.
Hip Pain
Hip conditions such as labral tears, bursitis, or post-surgical stiffness can affect walking and balance. We use targeted exercises and manual therapy to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
Sports Injuries
Sprains, strains, and tendonitis are common in active individuals and athletes. We create personalized rehabilitation plans to promote safe healing and prevent re-injury.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
After joint replacements or orthopedic surgeries, proper rehabilitation is essential for full recovery. We guide you through structured therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and function safely.
Our evidence-based approach addresses both symptoms and underlying mechanical causes for optimal results.
Insurance and Billing Support
We accept most major insurance plans and handle Workers’ Compensation and No-Fault cases.
Our billing and insurance coordination is managed by Viktoriya Masheyeva, who graduated from the College of Staten Island in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She later earned her medical assistant, billing, and coding certifications. Viktoriya works closely with patients every day to resolve complex insurance matters, verify coverage, and advocate on their behalf.
We understand how confusing insurance can be. That’s why Viktoriya goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled smoothly so you can focus on your recovery.
