Restoring Movement. Redefining Recovery.

At Impetus Physical Therapy, healing is about more than symptom relief—it’s about retraining the body for pain-free, balanced, and efficient movement.


We take a whole-body approach to restore function, improve performance, and help you move with confidence.

Led by Dr. Elisabeth Frank, DPT, our Manhattan-based clinic integrates advanced manual therapy, precise movement analysis, and one-on-one Pilates-based rehabilitation. Every session is focused, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based care.

  • The first visit will consist of a comprehensive evaluation and treatment. There will be a complete kinetic chain evaluation, gait assessment, and differential diagnosis. You can expect significant manual treatment to alleviate symptoms and get into correct alignments, as well as a home exercise program.

  • Pilates is incorporated into almost every patient's plan of care. Core work, postural re-education, balance, and gait training are essential for injury treatment and prevention. The goal is to get into stable muscles and out of compensatory muscles that are causing misalignments, injuries, and pain. Long-term wellness is what informs your personalized plan of care.
