Spear Physical Therapy, New York NY

Jamie gets all the credit for how great I felt throughout my pregnancy and for a smooth postpartum recovery. Not only does she really know her stuff, she is also fun to work with, encouraging and can put anyone at ease. She's top notch all around. And the Spear Chambers facility is quite nice.

I worked with Jamie Lief for about a year and would recommend her to anyone who needs pelvic floor therapy.

I started seeing Jamie to address some lingering pain from my first pregnancy, then kept working with her all through my second. During this second pregnancy, I felt much stronger and had less hip pain, and I think Jamie's guidance was a big part of that! I was also able to avoid the postpartum issues I had with my first pregnancy.

She's very knowledgeable and eager to discuss the "why" behind her recommendations if you're interested. Our sessions included tailored exercises and massage, and instructions for what to do at home. She was also able to adjust the frequency of our sessions over time to meet my needs, varying from 2x/week to every other week.

I found the gym space comfortable and well run, and the front desk and billing to be headache-free.

I have benefited greatly from the therapy received at Spear PT. I have found the people very nice and capable. Very clean, pleasant environment. Always helpful and sensitive. I highly recommend.

Jamie Lief has been an amazing Pelvic OT at Spear Chambers Street. Her knowledge in this area was invaluable throughout my treatment, with specific exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, as well as everyday habits to fully tackle the root of my pelvic issues. Jamie has been so thorough in helping me reach my postpartum goals, and her personable manner has made our sessions really enjoyable. Thank you, Jamie!

My toddler worked with Noelle at Spear for a few months to help with walking. She was kind, attentive, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. I’m so grateful for her work with my child and, while I hope we won’t need her services in the future, would ask for her without thinking twice if we need PT again.

Jamie Lief was an incredible addition to my pregnancy support team and I’m so happy I was able to see her throughout my pregnancy as my pelvic floor therapist.

I started seeing Jamie weekly starting around 18 weeks of pregnancy and she was able to give me customized exercises, massages and birth prep support specific to my physical needs that week. Her care went beyond just pelvic floor to make sure my whole body was working holistically so I was not in pain throughout my pregnancy, while also strengthening my core and supporting muscles. She was incredibly attune to my physical needs week by week and state of mind, tailoring my care to exactly what I needed that week. She also guided me through breathing exercises and perineal massage to help prepare for labor, pushing, and a positive birth experience.

I recommend Jamie as a physical therapist for any pregnant person. It was such a pleasure to have this customized support for whatever I was going through that week, and overall contributed so much to being comfortable throughout my pregnancy and feeling empowered and prepared for birth. Thank you Jamie for helping me bring my baby girl into the world!

Great people and great service. Well organized and very attentive. It was a great experience to work with Anant Kulkarni.

In the past two years I have had two freak athletic injuries - A torn labrum from a fall playing Volleyball and torn MCLs from a slip on concrete. In each instance I went to the Tribeca location of Spear to recuperate from my injuries and both times I was treated with tremendous care and enthusiasm. Daisy Lei helped me be able to throw a ball again and Lauren Newman helped me walk/run/jump again.

Before anything started, both took a good amount of time to methodically test my pain levels, strength, and range of motion to determine where to begin my exercise regimen. Throughout the entire process I never felt like I was pushed too hard too fast and always felt extremely informed on my progress. Each session begins with some derivative of "how are you feeling, how did you feel after last session, " which I always really appreciated. When you are told to do exercises at home, they provided access to a handy app that allows you to track progress so you don't forget to do them. If the place gets busy the technicians are there to help guide you through your exercises so you are always attended to. And the icing on the cake.everyone is so freaking nice! It is a pleasure to interact with them.

The best part, in both instances I fully recovered, and am back to doing what I love most, playing sports!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you are in the unfortunate situation where you need to recover from injury, and like me, are avoiding surgery at all costs, go here, you will not regret it. You will be back on your feet and strong as ever before you know it. Thank you Daisy and Lauren for all that you do!

Spear PT on Chambers is great. I had an overuse injury in shoulder. Daisy Lei identified the problem and got me on a path to healing. With the help of her and the great team @ Spear, my pain began abating within a week or two. Within a few months the pain was gone. I will need to continue doing exercises at home, but the shoulder problems that had been festering for years are gone. Thank you Spear!

Zero stars. Went once. The treatment was fine but Spear refuses to submit bill to workers comp despite claiming to accept workers comp as payment. Instead they are harassing me for payment. Do not recommend if you are using workers comp or any other insurance. If you’re paying out of pocket it’s probably fine?

I've worked with both Jamie Lief and Lily Jilk at this location and they are both phenomenal! They're knowledgable and personable and offer very personalized care. The entire staff is really friendly and the place is spacious and clean. Highly recommend for any PT or OT needs.

Lauren Newman at Spear on Chambers is an absolute miracle worker. I started seeing her in late May after a low back sprain left me in constant pain. Over two months, Lauren helped me better understand the types of exercises that could support my whole body and prevent further strain. I'm now pain free - and, most importantly, I have a newfound appreciation for a whole new set of muscles that I didn't even know existed! Thank you, Lauren!

I worked with Noelle at Spear for about a year and she was fantastic! All of the staff are truly amazing there.

Had a great experience here with Noelle! She was super helpful when my son was really small due to reflux. The staff was all super friendly and I highly recommend!

Anant is such a great physical therapist. He is very knowledgeable, He actually cares about his patients, is compassionate, and is very thorough. Highly recommend him if you need a physical therapist!

For a six week period I had twice weekly sessions at Spear on Chambers St.with Lauren Newman. Lauren was great to work with, she listened to what I needed and developed exercises which I could also do at home. Scheduling was never an issue and was always ready for me when I arrived. I would recommend Spear and if you can get her, would recommend Lauren.

Very Professional Staff, kept very clean. I have no complaints! I always leave here feeling better than when I arrived there.

My son (14) had a very persistent injury w/ his achilles tendon. After working for a few months with Noelle De Martini, the pediatric PT at Spears Chambers Street, he was finally able to go back to playing sports. Noelle really listened to him and kept him engaged through it all. She was very communicative with me and listened to what he needed, while also offering her professional opinion and judgment. We've worked with a few PTs over the years, and she was by far the best! Thank you, Noelle!

Recently completed PT with Andy, Ryan and Sarah to address strength / balance and running gait issues which were placing unnecessary stress on knees. The program and treatment were spot on - we did a complete reset - and am now running again pain free, confident and gradually building miles. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly staff and chill vibe.terrific job everyone I'll be forever grateful.

*Update March 2023 - ran my first marathon and credit Spear for setting me up for success. Thanks!
