"Had consistent shoulder problems in college even after multiple surgeries and came to him with no expectations. He keeps you honest to your goals and makes coming in every thursday not just a chore but my favorite part of the week. Throwing at 100% with no pain after this process felt so incredibly rewarding. He takes pride in your experience, makes a plan that fits you, and isn't satisfied until you are back to your old self."
-Blake J.
"Dr. Seth is not only a great person but an excellent physical therapist. Making the change to Positive Sport Physical Therapy was the best thing I did during my ACL recovery. When I first went to Seth, I was hopeless and lacked confidence. Not only did he help me regain my confidence but he got me back on track. I saw great improvement and progress while working with Seth."
Rebecca W.
"I am a college soccer athlete at Farmingdale State College. I recently dislocated and broke my ankle during one of my games. Seth and Vin make physical therapy fun every time. They are truly the best at what they do. I would recommend positive sports physical therapy to everyone I know."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes your neck pain physical therapy different from other clinics in New Hyde Park?
We offer a first-of-its-kind hybrid model combining 60 full minutes of 1:1 in-person care with Dr. Seth with daily app-based programming delivered to your phone. Unlike traditional PT clinics that rush you through 20-minute appointments or share attention between multiple patients, you get complete, individualized focus every session. Plus, we're one of the only clinics in New York with a USSF Preferred Provider on staff.
2. How long are your physical therapy sessions?
Every session is a full 60 minutes with complete 1:1 attention from your physical therapist. No interruptions, no switching between patients, no rushing. We believe real recovery requires real time and real focus on YOUR specific needs and goals.
3. Do you accept insurance for neck pain treatment?
We believe in complete pay transparency with no surprise bills. While we work with many insurance plans, we don't let insurance companies dictate when your care ends. Many insurance plans cut off physical therapy before athletes are truly ready to return to sport. Contact us at (917) 565-1280 or Seth@PositiveSportsPT.com to discuss your specific insurance situation and payment options.
4. What should I expect at my first visit for neck pain?
Your first session follows our AAA Process. We'll ASSESS by identifying the true cause of your neck pain—not just where it hurts, but why it's happening. We'll look at your entire body to find the root cause. Then we'll ALLEVIATE pain with a personalized treatment plan you can start using on Day 1. You'll leave with clarity, a roadmap for recovery, and access to our app with your individual programming.
5. Can you help with chronic neck pain I've had for months or years?
Absolutely. Many of our athletes come to us after years of dealing with neck pain that was never properly diagnosed or treated. Our comprehensive assessment identifies the true source of chronic pain, and our hybrid model allows you to work on recovery every single day—not just during your weekly appointment. We've helped athletes return to competition after being told they'd never play again.
6. Do I need a prescription to start physical therapy in New York?
No. New York has direct access laws, which means you can start physical therapy without a doctor's referral. You can book your free phone consult today and begin your recovery journey immediately. If needed for insurance purposes, we can help coordinate with your physician.
