Lev Borukhov, DPT

What an amazing experience Dr Lev took me through while with him for about 90 minutes!

A combination of high tech equipment and his expertise on body mechanics got me focused on how I can breathe and walk better.

What really blew my mind 🤯 was him telling me despite my tight hamstrings, they shouldn’t be stretched. Instead, he suggested I work on my calves and quads to get them more flexible which will help me improve how I step and walk. He sent me three exercises I should do as follow up to improve in these areas as homework.

It was a very impactful assessment he gave me and I learned so much. Dr Lev is definitely one of the health care good guys given his approach and knowledge of the human body. 👏👏👏👏

Lev is an amazing PT and person. I was looking for someone on Long Island who could help me with PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) based activities and exercises. I am forty year old weekend warrior who multiple nagging issues that were getting worse with time. Lev had me feeling great within a couple of sessions. Goes the extra mile and really listens to everything you have to say.

I wish I had found Lev earlier and before wasting thousands of dollars with other providers. Super knowledgeable about human body mechanics and movement. Look no further if you are in pain and book an appointment. You won't regret it!

I can’t say enough good things about Lev. A year and half after knee surgery I was still not back to 100%. Lev was recommended to me and I couldn’t be happier that I decided to give him a try. After working with me for 3 months I am not only back to 100% but feel better and stronger than I felt in years. He not only helped me get my strength back but also showed me how to keep my body in alignment to prevent other injuries and gave me the tools/exercise to correct minor imbalances as they occur. I would whole heartedly recommend him. He is an amazing practitioner who can help with anything from nagging overuse injuries to rehabilitation after surgery.

Lev is AMAZING. I have had chronic back pain for about 10 years. I've been to multiple physical therapists and back doctors to try and figure out what is going on and to relieve the pain, but it never subsided. A friend recommended Lev and within our first few sessions my back pain subsided substantially and even disappeared! Now I am on the path to recovery with him and I couldn't be any happier. I seriously thought I would live in pain for the rest of my life, but thanks to Lev I am able to function normally again. I could not recommend him enough - going to him is well worth it.

Over the last four years Lev has helped my mom, my husband, and I with longstanding pain. I would trust him to work on my toddler (though I hope to not find myself in that situation).

At 29, I first saw Lev back in 2014 with debilitating back pain from a horseback riding injury, duck feet, and long hours of sitting at work. At the time I first saw him I was in pain in spite of being on a very strong dose of Naproxen. I was off medication after just 4 sessions with Lev and have been off medication since. 1.5 years later, the pain came back when I was living in Philadelphia and became pregnant. When I saw no improvement after going through multiple sessions of therapy in Philadelphia, I came to New York to see Lev (yes, only to see him!). Within a few sessions, my pain was gone and I went through my pregnancy and one year post partum without pain (even while regularly wearing my daughter in a baby carrier!).

Fast forward four years to 2018, I am now strong enough to run around with my 2 year old and enjoy a very active lifestyle. Over the last two years, Lev has helped me re fix a ton of things that fell apart again when I had a c-section. I am now regularly running and doing activities that other doctors once told me were out of my league. I am living the life I want to as I am confident that Lev will fix me if I break again.

Re my mom and husband:
- My husband injured his knee from playing squash. Before seeing Lev he had been going for physical therapy once a week for over 3 months. Within a few sessions, he was able to play again without pain and now needs to see Lev only once in a while.
- My mom injured her shoulder from carrying my daughter right after she was born. Lev was able to bring her pain down significantly after just 2 sessions. Since she lives in India, he coached her on exercises she could do herself to remain pain free (which thankfully she has).

It won't be an over statement if I tell you that saying 'You need to see Lev' is a almost *reflex* action for me every time someone complains about pain. I cannot recommend Lev highly enough!!
