What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Project Physical Therapy

Eddie Gruzman
Danny Shapiro is arguably the best physical therapist and personal trainer in the NYC area, and here is why: As someone who’s played sports my entire life, I've had several serious injuries and ailments. After unsuccessfully searching for effective solutions and having needless surgeries, Danny was the only one who was truly able to help me. Over the course of regular sessions, supplemented by daily exercises that he assigned to me, Danny was able to help relieve pain in my shoulder, wrist, back, knee, and foot, and get back me back in the gym and on the basketball court, something I never thought possible. Not only has he made personal care and fitness his life’s work and personal passion, Danny specializes in physical therapy, and is a trusted subject matter expert who delivers consistent and highly effective results. A firm believer in the fact that one size does NOT fit all, Danny provides full-service, high-touch, custom-tailored solutions for each individual. Anyone who’s worked with Danny knows that he is undeniably skilled in his craft as a top physical therapist and as an overall health consultant, making sure that not only are you getting the proper physical care that you need, but that you leave each session with the knowledge you require to prevent further injuries as you continue your training, guaranteeing the most optimal results. As someone who’s known Danny personally for many years, the success and well-being of his clients is what drives his passion, as he would love nothing more than to see you at your best in every way possible. I always encourage everyone to do their own due diligence when selecting their physical therapist, but after my personal experience with Danny, I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an expert physical therapist to help with any issues they may have.

Such a great place to go! Danny is just a magician! Had multiple surgeries with side effects and a long process of recovery, but things that Danny did with his hands to relieve any pain is just magical! Extremely thankful and happy that I found this place! Absolutely recommend it! You won’t regret! I promise!
Hanna Bain
Working 1:1 with Danny has been a blessing, and I feel privileged to be under his care. Danny is concise, understanding, and gives everyone personalized care and attention. Danny possesses a wealth of knowledge and you will definitely get a full sense of comfort right when you walk into the office. Danny has been the only one to help me get to where I need to be and I am confident my PT and training goals will continue to be at 100% and beyond.
Margarita Polyak
To say that Danny Shapiro is a great physical therapist is a gross undersell! Imagine looking forward to going to the doctors, imagine someone talking to you with complete honesty, and someone who truly wants you to get better! Those are just the first things you’ll notice about Danny. He truly finds passion and happiness in his job and that only shows in your outcome! If you’re looking for a phenomenal physical therapist...don’t bother looking anywhere else
Esfira Shakhmurova
I have been with Danny since the beginning of last year after my fourth child and all the extra weight that came with having a baby.. I also had Diastasis Recti and didn’t know how to put my core muscles back... with Danny guiding me, I have lost a significant amount of weight and my core became stronger... after a few months I started seeing him to assist with tension headaches, lower back pains, hip pain and some neurological symptoms to my peripheral extremities. As a physical therapist he has hands of gold and manipulated my muscles and put my spine back piece by piece... with at home exercises that he provided and his expert training in understanding the human body, I am able to move with no distress and feel fabulous at the same time... hands down the best place to go for all your Physical therapy and personal training needs...

Alessandro Repetti
Danny is a phenomenal physical therapist and trainer. He goes above and beyond to help you feel better by the time your session is over, and to be armed with the information you need for you to continue feeling better which include personalized stretch and exercise routines, and many other things. His goal is to truly help you get better! I absolutely recommend Project Physical Therapy to anyone with any physical ailments/problems. Even if you’ve tried physical therapy before without desirable results, I highly recommend giving this a try. Danny isn’t like any other physical therapist I’ve been to. He’s been tremendously helpful for me. 100% recommend!
Eva Redamonti
I'm an illustrator/animator - I came to Danny with a 4 month history of tennis elbow and De Quervain's Tenosynovitis in my thumb, and at a depressing point where I was considering injections or surgery. Simple things like washing my hair was even painful. In only 4 weeks I went from feeling pain from moving my thumb around, to being able to do planks off my hands, lifting weight through my thumb, and regaining strength and mobility. If you're considering Project Physical Therapy, really ask yourself what it's worth to have your life back without pain. Luckily, i stumbled across a physical therapist who really cared about my situation and not just going through the motions. Danny sent me update emails, and custom videos recording my exercises for the week, evaluated my drawing setup and pen grip - everything was really custom. Would definitely recommend.
Sofia Bakhromi
I walked in after an ACL/meniscus repair surgery as one grumpy, pessimistic client ... After my first session with Daniel Shapiro, I walked out in a perfect mood with understanding of the process and a detailed plan for a full recovery. Each and every exercise I do during the session is videotaped for me to follow at home. I rapidly regain mobility and strength for my active life style. As an unexpected surprise, each “torture PT session” is seasoned with great laughter that brightens the day.
David Rock
Danny is such an incredible human and a amazing physical therapist. I cracked my Clavicle three weeks ago, I went to him three days a week for the past three weeks and I'm seeing such improvement and ability to move and stretch quickly! He really is genuine and cares about his customers. Appreciate you Danny! I'm literally running around telling everyone about him since he's so incredible.
Marina S
Nice clean office and gym. Danny is a very knowledgeable Physical Therapist and a great person who really loves what he does. I highly recommend. Sometimes it felt like magic. Since all my sessions are now over, I still can continue on my own to keep improving, because I gained a lot of understanding and he taught me specific exercises to do.
Juliana Strochkova
Highly recommended! Danny is amazing and magical I've been living with bad back pain for a minimum of 10 years, within a few sessions Danny was able to clear it all up. Now we tackling other issues I didn't feel since my back was my main source of pain. If you have pain and want a solution, Danny is the guy to go to!
Dr. Lisa Lippman
Danny Shapiro is the best physical therapist around! Not only is he knowledgeable and thorough but he’s caring, following up and making sure conditions are improved. You’ll never meet a PT who cares more and meshes that amazing knowledge. Can’t recommend enough!
Richie Redding
Danny is awesome! He really knows his stuff and he's creative and extremely patient. Best of all, he treated me over Zoom!
Simon Isaac
Danny is amazing at his job. I don't go to physical therapy but I go for private lessons for sport- From my experience of going some for about 3 to 5 months is that is very personable ,he is 100% there willing to help ,and he's always looking for your best. At every one of my sessions he always very thoroughly explains what we're doing how we're going to do it and how we're going to get it done if I have any questions he always tells me and encourages me to ask as well as if I think of anything throughout the day to shoot him a text. Because of our work together I have been able to modify and change some parts of my stretching pre and post activity as well being more effective in my movements in my sport. (Muay thai/kickboxing) I appreciate his support both in how he trains me and as well as his words- He's not taking this as necessarily a business but more of you as a person someone that he's trying to help and wants the best for, physically and mentally. I would recommend anyone to come and see for yourself. It really is worth the time and it's a very good feeling to have when you know this person cares for you and wants the best.
Serge Onik
One of a kind treatment. Hands down the best in the game. No tricks just 100% full healing. I do no not know how it’s possible but it’s like magic. I went from not being able to walk to 80% of my pain gone in 2-3 sessions. I know this sounds insane but all miracles do.
Marlin Duro-Martinez
Danny is the best and I would recommend him without hesitation. Danny took the time to understand what my issues were and worked to provide me with solutions to help me feel better. Thanks to Danny, I can move with more ease and look forward to movement now.
Eugene D
Project Physical Therapy is the only place I would recommend if you want your pain to truly go away. The team works with you to come up with the best plan of care that suits your needs. Whether you are an athlete or just sit at your office desk for long hours, you deserve to not be in pain. Do not hesitate to call Project Physical Therapy!
Emaan Ch
Project Physical Therapy is by far the best place to go to if you really want to see improvement. Not only will you be pain free but you’ll discover that other parts of your body almost regenerate themselves. Danny is a magician and he’s so accessible to all your questions and concerns. If you’re dealing with a lot of pain, progress will not be linear but it’s always helpful to have someone who will reply to you right away. PPT’s at home exercise plan along with all the in-office amenities ensure that you’ll have a great experience and be back to normal— more powerful than before. I can’t recommend this place enough!
Elbi Cespedes
Throughout my experience with Danny, he made sure to focus and listen to everything I expressed to him about my injury. He helped me to gradually progress through our sessions and beyond, pushing me and allowing me to not to only heal my injury but also learn more about what was going on with my muscles. He gave me exercises that I do beyond our sessions together. I can't recommend him enough and how truly different and more caring he is compared to any other physical therapists.
Penny Repetti
When I first went to see Danny at Project Physical Therapy, I was very reluctant to go to a physical therapist. After several years of having severe injuries and pain in my back, neck, shoulders, and knees, and having seen many physical therapists, but only feeling worse after the treatments, I gave up hope that physical therapy could ever help me. My son, a patient of Danny’s, strongly recommended that I give Danny a try and so I did. After the first visit to Project Physical Therapy, I felt a huge difference. I remember thinking that this is just too good to be true! I couldn’t believe the difference that I felt after just one treatment from Danny! I continued to see him and step-by-step Danny helped each of my injuries and was teaching me how to move better and to do things that I was unable to do before meeting him. Before going to Project Physical Therapy, it was an effort for me to stand for long, sit down and stand up, use steps, bend to tie my sneakers, or to drive my car for any more than a short ride. If I dropped something on the floor, I had to stop and really think of how important what I dropped was and most of the time, I just left it on the floor! Going to work was a major effort and my attendance at work became worse. I was actually considering an early retirement just before I met Danny. Danny worked with me, step-by-step, and now not only am I able to stand, sit, and pick up things without a thought, but I’m able to exercise every day on my exercise bike for 30-50 minutes, to exercise with weights and resistance bands, and do so many things that I hadn’t been able to do for so many years! In addition, I now do a full hour of personal training with Danny twice a week! I have been able to lose weight, I went down several sizes in my clothing, and early retirement isn’t even a thought anymore! Danny is an amazing physical therapist and personal trainer, with an extraordinary personality and a heart of gold! He truly cares about his patients and I know this because my family and some of our friends have gone to see Danny and have seen and continue to see amazing results as well. I highly recommend Danny to everyone that I know if they want to get rid of their pain and be able to live their lives normally again. My family and I call Danny “The Man with the Magic Hands”. If you’re in pain, make an appointment with Danny at Project Physical Therapy and you too will watch a miracle unfold, as you are able to do things that you never dreamed possible! Everyone at Project Physical Therapy is extremely friendly, accommodating, and supportive. If you want to begin living your life without intolerable pain, I highly recommend making an appointment with Danny, at Project Physical Therapy today—you won’t be disappointed!
Eva Janiszewski
I wish there were an option to give more than 5 stars! Going to Project Physical Therapy was life changing for me. I was feeling really hopeless about my situation which I thought was "too much of a mess to fix." I had seen countless therapists and doctors throughout the years, with little to no results. From the moment I met Danny, I was amazed by his dedication to me as an individual, while sharing his vast knowledge of the human body. Danny is the kind of person who truly listens to what you are saying, and understands the physical and emotional difficulties that come from long, or even short term injury. Every session I walked out of the building feeling better physically, as well as emotionally. Danny always gave me hope that the difficulties I was facing were only temporary, and each session, he proved that statement correct when I walked out one step further in the right direction. Project PT is the perfect place to go for anyone looking to better their career, life, or simply their overall well being. Contact them and check it out for yourself-- You won't regret it!
Miriam Garcia
I completed my 6 weeks of PT and I can’t believe I accomplished so much in that time period. To my surprise, zoom PT sessions worked well. Danny is very encouraging and full of positive energy. He gave me homework assignments which I was happy to do and that helped me so much in the areas I needed to build strength and stability. I went in with a very weak leg and Danny helped me achieve a better standing and tips for going forward after PT. The investment truly proved worthwhile as i feel stronger and better acquainted with my body and it’s shortcomings. I definitely recommend Danny and his cheerful office manager Bernadette, they always made me feel welcome and comfortable.
Amanda Lokie
You will not regret going here. In my first session, I left feeling so much better. Danny provides you with home workouts that continue to ease the pain and he's always one call away. Him and Bernadette gave me such a wonderful experience with their kindness and jokes!
Mary Irwin
Danny is a Magician, simple as that. In various points in my life, I've been a professional horse trainer, a competitive dancer, I've worked retail, and now I have a job that means I could be at work for up to 24 hours, standing on every surface you can think of, while holding equipment in weird positions. My body sounds like a bag of popcorn in the microwave 90% of the time. In between my issues with hips, shoulders, and legs, a few absolutely ridiculous neck injuries that even the writing staff on SNL wouldn't have been able to come up with, and the general wear and tear of life, I was having full body pain and migraines that were literally blinding me a few times a month. I'd been meaning to find a PT for ages, and somehow the algorithm gods smiled upon me and send Danny through Instagram. I cannot overstate what a HUGE difference I've seen with only 12 visits! He's like no other healthcare practitioner I've ever worked with - he's turned the dysfunctional blob that was my shoulder into a working body part, while keeping me laughing the whole time. He helped me with my post-covid recovery when I was so weak that one rep of something meant I couldn't even stand up. Now I'm out of weekly treatment and as long as I continue with the exercises I was given, I have no issues... which considering these were consistent problems for over 15 years, is HUGE. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Bernadette at the front desk - she somehow manages to bend space and time to work with my very weird schedule, and always with humor and compassion. The two of them are like.... Care bears, but Intensive Care Bears. If you don't go, you'll never know how much better things can be. TL;DR - If you want to feel better and not hurt, go to Danny at Project Physical Therapy. He's a wizard.
Christy Z
My best PT experience ever! After having a nagging pain in my back for over 10 years that several PT's and chiropractors couldn't help me with, I am finally experiencing relief after working with Danny for 8 sessions. A big thank you to Danny, Bernadette, Darren and Eric for creating such a warm and comfortable experience. Danny provided me with exercises to do at home to continue to strengthen my back muscles. He has a very unique approach to other PT's that I've seen and a wonderful bedside manner!
Janice Higgins
I love Project Physical Therapy! They are the most supportive and understanding people you will ever meet! Danny is there to help and he sincerely pulls for you every step of the way. You will love being there. I'm sure you will feel better too!!!
Emma Godfrey
Danny and Darren are both excellent. They know what they are doing and basically become part of the family. They don’t just say they care, they show it both inside and out of the office.
Wendy Vega
Hi, I want to share my experience after 8 sessions with Danny as my therapist. I was under so much pain on my lower back due some days I can barely stand up from my chair. He designed a specific treatment and exercises that I do at the PT center along with his guidance and pretty much I’m feeling so much better . I can wear my heels back which I believed I was not able to tried them again because of the pain. Also I’ve tried before another place but this one is fully different due they will set up a plan specifically for you and your needs. I can’t express how grateful I feel a free finding Danny. He plays his magic on each session! All the team is great over there, Darren and Bernadette plays also a key role for you to feel as welcome as home ! So if you really want to release your pain, you must come and give it a try !
Sarai Rivera
The customer service at Project Physical Therapy is by far the best service I've ever experience! They are caring, supportive and always intentional with the things they say and do. During my sessions with my therapist, Darren, he was always detailed oriented with each exercise. He also never hesitated to share education surrounding human anatomy to enrich my own education. He was always in a good mood which made my experience better mentally as well. Overall, I recommend Project Physical Therapy, you will not regret it!

WoW!! Remarkable improvement with a lingering shoulder injury after the first session with Darren. Not using the shoulder wasn't fixing it so I got a referral from my chiropractor--and he recommended PPT. Every session has been virtual but the improvement has been real. My sleep, movement, mobility, and stability are all outstandingly better. Darren is friendly, professional, consistent, patient, and with a customized program. The ease of scheduling with Bernadette is a dream. My shoulder has improved and so has my movement and my sleep. I would give PPT 6 stars if I could. I"ll keep working with Darren until I'm back on the bench press.
Elena Ivanov
A great experience at this office. Danny is very passionate about helping people and it shows in the treatment! Get ready for amazing customer service, a personal approach!
Maja Lokaj
Danny is THE BEST. I have scoliosis and every session, I come out feeling better than I did at the start. It is guaranteed. Definitely the best Physical Therapy clinic there is. It is a very welcoming and positive environment filled with amazing people!!
Angelika Glouchko
Honestly, amazing experience!!! Truly motivating and feels like home, the energy is something you won’t find anywhere else. I will forever remember the lessons and the memories I had in this place ❤️ And I friking miss that gorgeous dance room! Thank you for being there for me through my tough times with my body :)
Anastasia Kay
Amazing place. Such friendly professional staff. They helped with a very difficult injury that no other place knew what to do with, and I can’t thank them enough. The only team I will ever trust with my health again.
Alisa Kovalchuk
The best PT office with Wonderful professionals who take on the most severe cases and don’t let you give up! Such an amazing team. Positive energy, professionalism, amazing atmosphere, but in reality, no words can describe how much they’ve helped me with my pain, when no other place would have any solutions.

Project Physical Therapy provides the BEST whole-body and custom physical therapy programs --- whether your goal is to prevent surgery, heal from chronic pain, recover from injury, heal post-surgery, or build strength during pregnancy & post-partum---Project Physical Therapy is your answer. I've worked with Danny for over a year through a rollercoaster of health challenges--- I'm still working with him now. After going to many PTs over the years there's no comparison----Danny and his team provide an unsurpassed level of care and help patients to achieve real healing and incredible results. SURGERY PREVENTION: Danny initially kept me out of major back surgery after a series of spinal injections + physical therapy at multiple locations failed to provide relief---after ONLY 2 weeks I could walk again, after 3 weeks of his program my entire spine was healed. CHRONIC PAIN RECOVERY/HEALING: Project Physical therapy went on to help me to recover from years of unresolved chronic pain and tremors from nerve damage--- over the last 10 years I had tried supplements, pain killers, exercises, 100s of specialists, thousands of dollars in therapies, etc and nothing worked. I was told to "get used to pain" --- Danny created a program for me to address and heal from nerve pain on a whole body level...Let me tell you, that first week of being PAIN FREE was LIFE CHANGING!!! PREGNANCY/POST-PARTUM: Most recently Danny helped me through my first pregnancy and post-partum recovery. As a new mom I knew I could trust Danny to guide me into getting into "super mom" shape to enable an easier birth and recovery. Is there anything Project Physical Therapy can't do? Seems like Danny and his team are up for any health challenge! ;) Danny is hands-down an INCREDIBLE HEALER and wonderful human being. He brings a warmth, enthusiasm, and unsurpassed knowledge of the body--and some seriously fun dance moves! Danny will design a custom physical therapy plan that aligns with exercises you love, activities, and dance-based movement. Love kayaking? boxing? yoga? He'll integrate that into your home workout program. Have an emergency spasm? He will make time and help you through it. Did I mention he can do all of this REMOTELY? He's truly the "Muscle Whisperer" ---he literally can look at you over a video call or get a description through a phone call---and knows IMMEDIATELY what is going on and how to FIX IT. Yes, that's how good he is. I've recommended Project Physical Therapy to family, friends, anyone I meet in pain. So don't hesitate--- if you're told surgery is the answer, if you're tired of chronic pain, if pain killers and nerve suppressants aren't working, if you're pregnant or post-partum, if you're simply ready for a better level of whole body physical therapy care----you are in THE BEST HANDS. Project Physical Therapy has set a new bar for physical therapy services.
Kelly Davis
You will not regret coming here! I had plantar faciitis for 3 years (from standing at work all day) and was totally exasperated by 4 PTs, podiatrists. I was a referred by a friend to see Danny and it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. He's not only a talented PT but he cares so much. His office gives you the undivided attention that you deserve (they don't do any of that patient juggling that other PTs do, not watching you, handing you off to assistants, etc). I went from agonizing pain, every day to being pain free at work without having to use wraps, ice, pain killers. I stand on concrete or outdoors 6-8 hours a day at work. His office is always filled with positivity and support for you. Bernadette is great and has always been accessible & easy to talk to about appts, answer questions, billing.
Theo S.
Project Physical Therapy is an amazing & very up-to-date physical therapy clinic in Brighton Beach. I couldn’t imagine a better PT to help me with my knee problems caused by running. Within 5 weeks of walking into Project Physical Therapy, I went from having pain standing/walking to successfully completing my scheduled 1/2 Marathon run with zero issues. Without Danny, I don’t think I could have recovered and met my goals so quickly. Danny has completely changed my understanding of how to be athletic while staying healthy. He guided & pushed me to transform my body so that I not only feel better from my original pain, but I am much stronger and less injury-prone than before. Bernadette & Danny create a truly fun and inviting environment - going above and beyond to help you feel safe, comfortable, heard, and supported —during every visit and between visits. They are true professionals, but more importantly they are great people. They even sent me a care package when I was home sick with COVID. Danny’s sessions are personalized, informative, and challenged me to get better every time. Danny is a great listener who really takes the time and energy to adjust every session to my needs - whether that’s physical or mental. He provides really great video instruction & all the necessary equipment to continue the exercises at home. I considered going to a big PT clinic recommended by my doctor, but I am so lucky to have found & to be able to go to Project Physical Therapy!
Louie Chillemi
I wish words could give Danny justice on how great he is, not just as a physical therapist but as a person. I have dealt with severe lower spinal pain for the last 7 years of my life. Being a professional wrestler and an avid weight lifter for many years, there countless days where I physically could not get out of bed because of the pain. I’m only 32 years old. My back was so bad that even standing straight doing NOTHING could pinch a nerve in my lower back. After seeing numerous doctors, chiropractors, decompression sessions, epidurals/shots nobody had any real solutions for me. I didn’t think that there was a fix for my issue and I thought this would be my life forever. I was very blessed to have a client of mine recommend Danny to me. Within meeting him at the consultation I knew two things….this guy actually gives a damn, and if anyone can help me..it’s him. Danny was confident and KNEW that he could fix my problem, something I was really skeptical about. After living with debilitating pain everyday for so long it’s hard to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. After my first session with Danny I already felt relief in my back. I couldn’t believe it! I have so far had 7 sessions with him, and I have not been in any pain since seeing him. He is a complete professional at what he does. He gradually increased the intensity of each session and I’m now doing exercises/movements I didn’t think I would be able to do again like proper squats and deadlifts which before him would put me out of commission for weeks! I recommend him to ANYONE with pain/discomfort on any part of their body. Because he will fix your pain. Also, his assistant Bernadette is such a sweetheart. She makes you feel at home and always tries to accommodate you with anything you may need every time you’re there. Hands down, I promise you they are simply THE BEST!
Aminata Jacob
I had suffered from chronic back pain for over 15 years. I tried physical therapy and was eventually told by doctors that my back pain was a lifelong condition. I had pretty much given up hope when I came across Danny's Instagram page. I honestly didn't think that he could help me, but I made an appointment anyway. It's the best decision I ever made! My back felt soooo much better after the first visit! It's been several months since my last visit, and my back still feels amazing! I can walk, bend, lay, stand, sit, and dance with zero pain. Danny has greatly improved my quality of life, and I will always be grateful to him. Thanks for everything Danny!
Olga Net
Project Physical Therapy is an outstanding place! It’s an oasis of positivity. Danny is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional PT. We had a great and very effective session, he helped me very much. I also appreciate the exercises he recommended to do at home. Would highly recommend the practice!
Margaret Trillo
Danny has significantly improved my husband‘s range of motion. We have gone to other physical therapist and this is the only place you can get one on one care. The therapist stays with you during your entire treatment. They don’t runoff and work on someone else!Danny really goes an extra mile for my husband. They follow up giving him exercises to do at home. My husband‘s neuropathy pain in his foot is becoming more tolerable and now my husband has exercises that he can go to to help him relieve his neuropathy pain in his foot. The staff makes you feel Immediately comfortable, they are professional, And very caring!
Nettle MD
Daniel is the real professional with magical hands and an amazing person with sincere care. And at the very first visit you'll feel it. Be ready to do your part and he'll give you all the tools, motivation, support and help you need !
Donna V
I can't say enough to express how great my experience has been with Danny Shapiro and Project Physical Therapy. Before I was given the recommendation to see him, I was a physical wreck. I felt like I was getting old before my time. I had trouble walking, standing straight and moving my arm. Danny encouraged me to work hard and showed me what to do to improve my body and he did this with compassion and humor and a refusal to let me slack off. I feel like I have my body back. From the minute I walked into the office and was greeted by Bernadette with a smile and an offer of tea, I received personalized attention, and I have seen that other patients are treated the same. Danny gave me confidence to continue to improve on my own and is always available if I have a concern or question. If you need a physical therapist, you MUST go to Project Physical Therapy!
Mila Gutman
Watching & hearing my very vibrant, do it all, super mom in daily pain was heartbreaking. She went to numerous doctors who all told her the same thing, "you need a series of injections, you will eventually need surgery, you have to live with this pain". She felt defeated. We all did. I was determined to help get back this superwoman. I found Danny on Instagram & figured why not, my mom could at least follow him and get some pointers. After her 1st appointment with him, I will remember these words forever, "I already feel so much relief". My mom has not used the word relief relating to her back in years. Her voice even changed talking to me after a session with him. He gave my mom her physical strength back & her confidence. We are all so thankful for Danny and his team.
Jasmin Mendez
Project Physical Therapy has been amazing! When I first began, I had chronic daily pain, was wearing a back brace for most things (even to drive) and felt I was slowly getting old before my time. I thought that was no way to live. But I wasn't sure anything could be done to make things better. I took a chance and made the first appointment and have NEVER regretted it! Danny and his team really listen and provide a personalized approach. They are kind, considerate and funny all in one. I no longer have chronic pain, don't wear a brace and feel more flexible than I have in a long time. I also have the knowledge of tools I need to help myself should I ever feel like my back were acting up again. I feel stronger than I have in years and am beyond grateful to Danny and Project Physical Therapy!
Lisa Chernyavsky
Prior to coming to Danny, I’ve gone to physical therapy for 7 years post knee surgeries. I was fully set on the idea that I would have limited mobility, arthritis and knee pain for the rest of my life. In the 12 sessions I had with Danny over the course of 2 months I have been pain free. Whenever I had a ridiculous question or if some other pain/ issue comes up , I know that I can email him and count on him to answer rather quickly. He also makes sure that I understand what issue I have and explains what Exercises I have to do and why. He really makes it a very tailored experience with the 1 on1 sessions. While I have never been a fan of homework, his at home exercise plan has also helped and I love that it’s modified weekly/ biweekly as my needs change. I’m beyond grateful for Danny and would absolutely recommend him to anyone that’s struggling with pain !!
Yajaira Leon
As soon as you enter Bernadette make you feel so welcome. I have gone to other physical therapist and had other people in the room but working with Danny he focus fully on you. He pay attention to every single details. He knows what he doing! What's important that he doesn't focus just putting you on machine and walk away. He focus on body moves and stretching. He give you moves that pertains to the problem you'll having. I was so limited, scared and hesitant to do certain things because of my back pain. Now I able to move forward with no fear and hesitation. I definitely recommend!
Irina Bolkovaia
Dr. definitely knows what's he's doing but with different approach than any other physical therapy. Was able to get back to my bodibuilding career within 10 sessions!!! I highly recommend him and his team, don't waist time going to places where doctors doing the same procedures and not getting you anywhere, telling you to stop doing things you love, or basic movements. Simply put- Danny Shapiro treat pain not temporarily relieve of pain.
Gabriela Torres
I had an amazing time strengthening and training with Danny. There is never a dull moment, appreciate all the knowledge and laughs. This was the best medical support for me and I’m sure for you too! Thank you Danny!!
Andrea Maldonado
Danny is awesome! He has been helping me with my chronic pain. He not only provides exercises but also has a great attitude, always bringing positivity and cheering me up which is crucial when dealing with chronic pain

I first saw Danny Shapiro on Instagram. Not only is he a great ballroom dancer, but he also demonstrated PT techniques that were new to me. I thought to myself, "Self, this could be the just what you need!!" His energy is so positive. My backstory is I injured myself during a HIIT class at a local gym and my pain level was at a ten. I kept working out at home and at the gym and got my pain level down to a four, but plateaued. This was unacceptable to me because my goal is ZERO pain level. I continued to watch some of Danny's reels and decided to reach out to Danny (I call him Dancing Danny). I sent a request to him and was called immediately. That impressed me. I had an online consultation with him and began working with him the first week of October. I am very pleased with the outcome -- it is HARD WORK, but so worth it. My pain level is now about a 2 -- it will soon be ZERO AND MY PT SESSIONS ARE VIRTUAL!!! I've had one in-person session with Dancing Danny. If you need a good PT, contact him. By the way, Bernadette Cura is AWESOME as well. She is so thorough and efficient in assisting with explaining the process and getting your appointments set up.

Project physical therapy is amazing. Danny and Bernadette made me feel like family. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by the wonderful Bernadette. They deeply care about my health and overall well-being. I have seen physical therapists in the past but Danny is different- he is observant thorough, and caring. His techniques and advice have worked wonders for me. I no longer have to struggle through pain. As a dentist I have always had back and neck issues. Danny taught me what maneuvers and exercises I can do during the day to prevent pain. He prepared me mentally and physically by giving me the tools to succeed. I always recommend him to family and friends. He is truly the best. If you are looking for a PT, look no further you will not regret it. Strongest recommendation.

Effective and easy to do techniques to resolve back pain, which I incorrectly used to think was permanent- until I worked with this team. Legitimate and life changing 5stars

I was very skeptical of trying a new physical therapist after bad experiences, and I came to Danny pretty scared, intimidated and in pain. From the moment I met Danny, he made me feel calm, motivated, and hopeful. I honestly wasn't sure my pain would get better - but so much of my pain is just gone now, thanks to Project PT. Danny is really creative, gets to know you as an individual, and your treatment is unique to you. He and Bernadette truly care about their clients and make what can be an intimidating process, into a really positive and fun one. They make you feel like you're part of their family — when I called in sick for an appointment, I'd get a sweet card in the mail to feel better . They're such thoughtful and kind people but also just REALLY skilled + good at what they do. I'm so thankful to have found them and I recommend Project PT to anyone!

10 🌟's The team and service at PPT is just amazing! Bad knee pain to the point I was considering surgery. Met with Danny first after watching him on IG, best decision ever. Gave me such high hopes and motivation in just the initial meeting. Danny is a great PT - engaging, caring, funny, very thorough when explaining why muscles are compromised and helps you understand the whole process. Just a genuine person overall. Bernadette is a thoughtful and gracious soul and makes you feel like a friend, not just a patient. Will forever be grateful to them. Highly recommended.

I can't say enough amazing things about Danny and his staff. Three and a half years ago I had bilateral knee replacement. I went to physical therapy afterwards but when I graduated from there they said I was "good enough." After sitting around for a few years either from COVID lockdown or from pain I was still in, I decided I needed something more. Good enough for them was not good enough for me. From the first second I walked in I was greeted by friendly smiling staff and was even offered a hot drink and fruit. When I went in to meet Danny, he listened to everything I had to say. All my concerns and worries. He addressed each one and assured me that I was capable of reaching all my goals and even more. In the few weeks that I've been going, I have made amazing strides that surprised everyone, including myself! I'm doing things that I could never have imagined. I even RAN for over 100 yards. I'm doing squats and lunges and balancing. I'm definitely walking with much more stability and confidence. My confidence also carried over to the rest of my life and everyone is noticing to a marked difference my new found confidence and abilities. I'm so happy that I finally made the best investment in myself. That big voice in my head that was telling me what I couldn't do for one reason or another is practically gone. I thank God every day for my stumbling on Danny's Instagram page. Danny is truly a magician. I will forever be grateful for becoming part of the family that Project Physical Therapy is.

Danny is by far the most talented and comprehensive PT I have ever worked with (and I have worked with many on both coasts over the years!) I'm a Pilates instructor and I believe in the power of alignment and small micro changes over hundreds of exercises that don't get you anywhere and that is the same philosophy he has. I completely trust him with showing me what really works. I've sent my clients that needed deeper insight than I could give and they are getting results too. I take the bus 1.5 hrs here rather than the places I could walk to in my neighborhood and he actually SAVES me time.

After 2 years of trying all different kind of treatments including: traditional pain management such oral meds, spinal injections, prolozone injection, PT ( two attempts of one to one sessions ), chiropractors , acupuncture, seeing orthopedic surgeons and mentally getting ready for surgery, I was desperate enough when my daughter-in-law came across Danny Shapiro on social media. She carefully researched his work and insisted that I should see him ASAP. I was skeptical, but I called and scheduled eval, and we started working together.Danny is knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive to my needs. He treats me as an individual and takes each day and challenge as it comes, good and bad. It was not, and still is not a smooth road; It is exhausting physically and mentally but Danny has been with me through all my frequent flares. He refused to give up on me. He insists that I am not a lost cause, and I will not only get better, but, I will recover. We will celebrate the victory , Danny left me no choice as to believe that we will get to that point ,together . I also should say a special thanks to Bernadette for making me feel at home all the time , and makes all scheduling and re-scheduling painless .

I suffer from a herniated disc on the l4 l5 I have nerve symptoms that affect my leg on pins and needles feeling on a daily basis sometimes the pain gets so intense I cannot get on my feet normally without assistance I've been treated by Danny for over six sessions After every session I'm able to get back on my feet ,sit and drive in my car as well as move around without feeling any symptoms He works you out and builds your muscle and strength back up After just a few sessions I was able to get My nerve pain to a tolerable level where my activities of daily living have returned so somewhat regular place I would highly recommend him as a physical therapist

What do you even say when someone gives you your life back? After years of chronic back, neck & shoulder pain, I had reached the pinnacle of a pain crisis that left me barely able to brush my teeth or feed myself. Danny not only helped me out of that crisis, he showed me I was capable of things I never would have thought possible. From day one, he and Bernadette and the entire team showed the kind of genuine care that I've never seen anywhere else in medicine. Danny's approach was completely unique to me as an individual, and he went above and beyond to understand what I was going through and provide the treatment & support I needed to guide me successfully through recovery. If you need PT, look no further - Danny and his team are simply THE BEST!!

I am an amateur boxer and I would train a lot and I got injured. I would see a lot of physical therapists and they were not able to help me, it was the standard bad experience of just the massage and electric stim and useless exercises. I than met Danny at Project Physical Therapy, I told my self I would give this one last go and worked together with him. In just ONE session he made me feel way better and my pain of years was gone. I kept working with him and made huge progress after every single session. Danny helped me make a full recovery and I can now keep chasing my boxing dreams. Project Physical Therapy has such a GOOD STAFF!!! Bernadette and Danny are professionals at what they do and care for every single on of their patients.

Saw an instagram post of Danny dancing then he demonstrated how to stop shoulder pain, which I have being struggling with for over a year, I had being to three separate physical therapy locations and even had acupuncture sessions. The insurance ran out and I was still in pain, so I decided that if I was going to pay out of pocket I would have to find the best therapist, that’s when I went to Project Physical therapy, from the get go I felt comfortable with Burnadett the receptionist and then with Danny after the evaluation. My treatment went exactly as he said it would be, and I must say by my third visit I was sleeping much better at nights not waking up every time I turned from pain. Danny might look goofy doing the dance videos but I must say he is a genius when it comes his therapy skills. He is also very polite and his bedside is very comforting and exceptional. For example you and I know therapy is painful but you still go because he makes it fun and bearable. I recommend that if you are tired of the JAG ONEs go see Danny for one and one therapy.

Project Physical Therapy is who everyone should be looking for! Danny and Bernadette are knowledgeable, compassionate and genuine. They will make you feel just like family. Danny is thorough with his evaluation and sessions, is passionate and knowledgeable in what he does and genuinely cares about his patients. I have been to PPT twice with different issues and both times I’ve felt a lot better and more hopeful within a few sessions with Danny. He really gets to know his patients and target the core of the issue rather than give a quick fix. Their professionalism and energy is just great overall! Highly recommend!
