Strength training isn’t just for building muscle—it’s a key tool for pelvic floor health. 💪
Our own Morgan Martin, PT, DPT () incorporates glute, adductor, and core work into her leg days to help support the pelvic floor and improve function.

The best part? Strength training can benefit both pelvic floor weakness and tension when done with the right guidance. It’s about training the whole system that supports your core and pelvis, not just one muscle group.

Want to learn how to lift for your pelvic floor? Schedule a session with Morgan at H&D Physical Therapy.

With total knee replacement surgeries projected to nearly double by 2030, physical therapists are continually seeking ways to enhance recovery. Christian Simsuangco, PT, DPT, of H&D Physical Therapy’s South Slope Brooklyn clinic, contributed to a compelling new study investigating whether kinesiotaping for lymphatic drainage improves outcomes after bilateral total knee arthroplasty. While previous studies have focused on single-knee replacements, this randomized controlled trial aimed to determine if taping one leg, while leaving the other untreated, would meaningfully reduce swelling, pain, or improve range of motion. 🦵

Cupping therapy is more than just a wellness trend—it’s a time-tested technique that offers real therapeutic benefits for pain relief, muscle recovery, and improved mobility. At H&D Physical Therapy, our physical therapists incorporates cupping into personalized treatment plans to help patients release deep muscle tension, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation.

Lauren Calzolaio, PT, DPT from our Midtown office demonstrates how cupping works with one of her many patients. By creating gentle suction on the skin, cupping can promote lymphatic drainage, relieve myofascial tightness, and support the body's natural healing processes. It's especially effective for those dealing with chronic pain, postural strain, sports injuries, and post-surgical muscle stiffness.

Whether you're an athlete, a desk worker, or recovering from surgery, cupping may be a valuable addition to your rehab. Learn more about how we integrate hands-on therapies with evidence-based care across our Manhattan and Brooklyn locations:

Recovering from a total knee replacement takes more than rest—it requires the right therapeutic tools and techniques to restore strength, function, and mobility. One of the evidence-based treatments we use at H&D Physical Therapy is neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES).

NMES helps activate and strengthen the quadriceps muscles, which are often weakened after surgery due to disuse or swelling. It also plays a role in reducing post-operative pain and swelling, improving range of motion, and enhancing circulation to the healing tissue. When combined with targeted physical therapy exercises, electrical stimulation can accelerate progress and improve long-term outcomes.

At H&D, our clinicians create personalized rehab programs that use advanced techniques like NMES to support every phase of your recovery. Whether you're in Midtown, the Upper East Side, Park Slope, or South Slope, we're here to help you get back on your feet—stronger than ever.

Recovering from a complex hand injury takes time, expertise, and the right therapeutic approach. In this spotlight, Esther Milina, OTR/L, LSVT-BIG, shares a behind-the-scenes look at the OT exercises she designed for a patient recovering from a distal radius fracture with multiple metacarpal fractures.

These exercises target proprioception, wrist weight-bearing tolerance, and fine motor skills critical for everyday function. Starting with foundational movements like weight shifting, Esther gradually introduces more advanced tasks like gripping, twisting, and pinching to retrain coordination and strength.

At H&D Physical Therapy, we create individualized treatment plans that meet patients where they are — and guide them back to the life they love. Learn how our comprehensive OT services in Manhattan and Brooklyn can assist you today!
