I know most of the physical therapy clinics in Huntington NY. In my humble opinion, Universus PT is the best for back pain. That is my experience. I recommend Universus to my friends and family because of my positive experience with them. The staff is very friendly, which oddly enough makes a huge difference compared to some of the other Huntington physical therapy places I’ve visited.

Universus Physical Therapy says they are “here to help” and they sure are! They treated me like I was their family, really caring about my progress each week. I’ve had better than expected results after doing 8 sessions of physical therapy to help alleviate my knee pain.

Age definitely plays a role in recovery, but Universus Physical therapy taught me that simple stretching and the correct focused exercises can really help with day to day pains. We focused on shoulder physical therapy as that was my surgery area. Very happy with this boutique physical therapy business! Shaden you and your team are amazing. I am happy to drive to Huntington each week for our PT sessions.

The staff at Universus Physical Therapy gave me their undivided attention from the moment I arrived until I left. They have interesting condition focused exercises that are highly effective and the team always greeted me with a smile which I love.

I’ve tried 2 other Huntington physical therapy businesses and I like Universus the best. It’s 1 on 1 physical therapy, is never rushed and the staff is great!

Universus Physical Therapy is first physical therapy I have ever experienced, and the bar is now set high! If you’re in Huntington, Commack, or anywhere nearby – there’s no need to visit any other Physical Therapy location. I was referred to them by my chiropractor, and they were able to help identify the root of the problem, not just focus on the symptoms. My back pain has been slowly worsening over the years but it has recently gotten to be debilitating. Finally after years of taking medication, and putting a bandaid on the problem waiting for pain to improve or go away on its own, I decided to give physical therapy a try. For the first time in years I am feeling better and I have Universus Physical Therapy to thank!

My neck pain recently became too much so I decided to find a local physical therapy clinic in Huntington. UniversusPT is a really well run business, with friendly knowledgeable staff and most importantly they know what they're doing!

Universus is by far the best physical therapy experience I've ever had. There is no shortage of Huntington NY physical therapy clinics, but there is a shortage of QUALITY physical therapy establishments. I feel lucky to have found this gem. I've learned several new physical therapy exercises from Universus that work great for my neck stiffness and shoulder pain.

My “go to” location for anytime I need treatment. A great location with plenty of parking. When you enter the office you are greeted by a welcoming and friendly staff. The therapists are very thorough and patient. It is a clear reflection of Dr . Ghattas. Thank you Nathaniel for your help and congrats to the office on your 10 year anniversary of practice.

If you're going through debilitating physical pain on a daily basis and sitting on the fence regarding a physical therapy clinic, I can tell you from firsthand experience that this is well worth it.I've already seen significant improvement in my mobility and daily comfort. I'm extremely satisfied with the physical therapy process at Universus. Thank you so much!!

I have a severe neck pain for the last 4 years. After 4-5 sessions of physical therapy i recovered 75% from my pain.

I have been to many other Physical therapists and have NEVER seen the results I am seeing with Universus PT! They are in a class of their own. They take their time with each session, one session is never like the last. They listen, they are hand on and are truly specialists in the field of physical therapy. They have helped me tremendously and I truly look forward to each session! I feel so grateful that my doctor sent me to Universus PT!

This physical therapy clinic has worked wonders for the extreme muscle pain I've been suffering through. I appreciate their approach to helping me work through all the physical pain I've been in with actionable physical therapy treatments that actually get results! Thank you!

I was having really bad shoulder pain so I decided to give Universus physical therapy a try. I committed to 8 appointments, and I was truly amazed how my pains began to subside after only a few sessions. The exercises were very interesting and catered specifically to me which I liked. I visited the Huntington Universus Physical Therapy.

Great experience! My back was completely immobile when I first started going to Chris. Not only did he get my back unlocked, he zoned in on why it locked up in the first place and worked with me each session to strengthen my weak glutes and hamstrings. I'm now completely pain-free, mobile and getting stronger each day based on the exercises Chris shared with me and has encouraged me to keep doing. Thanks Chris!

I started pt at Universus a few months ago when my neurologist prescribed it due to lower back issues. I love going there twice a week. Each member of the staff is excellent. I am so motivated to do more exercise at home and continue the work that the therapists do when I am there. My back is so much better but when it is acting up I know just what to do to help myself thanks to their expertise.

Great one on one physical therapists! I've tried other Huntington physical therapy locations, mainly though insurance and didn't like them. Your physical therapy clinic is great.

I was searching for Physical therapy near me in Northport for my mother in law, and stumbled across this business. We decided to trust UniversusPT with my mother-in-law who is old and somewhat frail. Shaden was extremely gentle and caring. My mother-in-law is in her 80’s, and Shaden adjusted the physical therapy exercises for her strength & energy levels. She was very pleased and so were we!

There are plenty of physical therapy locations near me in Oyster Bay, but UniversusPT came highly recommended and they didn’t disappoint! It was a bit more than I wanted to pay out of pocket but worth it. Living a ‘normal’ life where simple things like walking without pain, is a blessing. Thank you UniversusPT !

Agustin Keller

There are simple things outside of our physical therapy exercises that she’s helped me learn, like to avoid sitting cross legged, not to sleep on my stomach etc. I highly recommend UniversusPT, I’ve tried other Huntington physical therapy clinics but didn’t get the attention or care I receive with Universus.

I have a neck pain that hasn’t gone away in over a month, and it has progressed to weakness and shoulder pain as well. My doctor recommended “rest” & physical therapy.After only a few sessions with Universus’s physical therapy I’m feeling much better! I really appreciate the care and fully guided physical therapy exercises. Some of these neck pain physical therapy exercises are very strange but they’re working, so I can’t complain.

I have chronic knee pain due to sports injuries throughout my life, and my orthopedic surgeon recommended I try PRP and knee pain physical therapy. I found UniversusPT’s Huntington physical therapy clinic online and I’m very happy with my sessions so far.It’s a small studio, they only have 1 on 1 sessions so I get full attention. Unlike other physical therapy clinics from what my friends tell me.

Family friendly PT office. Receptionist is well versed in her job. Therapists work hard to get you back to where you should be in R.O.M. and flexibility. Questions answered with enough detail to satisfy most inquiries and if you need more information - just ask. They aim to make your visit as productive as they can.

Fantastic place. I have been in pt before and never felt they understood my body like this place

The first thing one notices when entering Universus Physical Therapy is the upbeat atmosphere. Jenn and Dana on the frontline make up the administrative component. They handle scheduling, billing and things that keep the office running smooth. They’re friendly, enthusiastic and they make it all happen - they’re great. The waiting area is comfortable and pleasant - I mention the “waiting area” but I hardly ever wait. That’s because the Practice runs a punctual operation which works great for me. They respect my time and I respect theirs - it allows me to efficiently plan my day. If this is your first Physical Therapy experience, lucky you... you picked the right place. Thanks to an action-packed lifestyle and a long list of injuries over the years, I’m no stranger to Physical Therapy Centers - Universus is different than the rest. Everyone listens and hears you here. Most PT centers (that I’ve been to in the past) break the sessions into supervised and unsupervised time. Half the time may be one-to-one with an actual Physical Therapist and the remaining half you might be with a PT Tech (for heat/ice, etc.) or merely left alone, unsupported, to do the prescribed exercises. The Universus approach is strictly one-to-one, you’re with a Therapist the entire appointment. Tiffany is a skilled and highly trained Physical Therapist. She’s motivating and my sessions are productive. Afterwards I may be a little sore, but it’s a “good sore” and temporary only. But after all, it’s Physical Therapy not a leisure Spa - it means the treatment is working and that I’m getting what I came for. I had knee pain for many months with frequent and excruciating flair ups. Since working with Tiffany my pain has diminished to a manageable level allowing me to resume most of my fitness activities (and has also kept me out of the Operating Room). Shaden Ghattas is another terrific Physical Therapist (also the Owner). There’s a uniqueness to this Practice. It exudes positive vibes/energy and patient wellbeing. Shaden Ghattas has been at this location for many years (safe & convenient parking). Covid19 safety measures are in place to the best extent possible. Can’t say enough about the staff. Universus PT is a totally professional rehab facility. I highly recommend..

Universus is by far the best for PT. The practice is super friendly, clean, modern equipment & most importantly very knowledgeable. They got to the “core” of my back issues!

Dr. Ghattas is highly knowledgeable and has a hands on/customized approach to fit each individuals needs. While other physical therapist Practices seem to have a “mill like” approach, Universis spends quality time with their patient for the duration of the session. Extremely committed and organized staff creates for a wonderful experience every time. I highly suggest that you or a family member go to this physical therapy practice next time you need to heal up quickly.

If I could give this Horrible money hungry spot a 0 star I would. The service is awful . I have not one not 2 but 3 insurances. They still wanted to push me to pay Out of pocket. Then the owner Shaden is disrespectful and not professional. DO NOT give them your email address !! they will spam it with useless information trying to get you back there, when you clearly said NOO.

Ronald Friedman

This PT provider is unlike any other I have used. The physical therapists all have doctorates in PT, and as a patient you receive total customized individual attention from one of the therapists. There are no assistants. Each therapist is thoroughly knowledgeable, is caring, is focused completely on what you need to be better. And each is a nice person, which isn't always the case with such professionals. There are many PT providers in my neighborhood, and at my age I've been to a number of them over the years. I'll definitely stick with Universus!

THANK YOU UNIVERSUS!I had the good fortune to be referred Universus by my pain Doctor. I have disk degeneration in my neck and have been in continuous pain for 13 years.I have been to surgeons and pain doctors who prescribed drugs and injections which sometimes eliminated the symptoms but did nothing to address the causes of my pain. I was referred to "Physical Therapy Mills" which gave me rote exercises to do and did manipulations that increased my inflammation and pain. The same with chiropractic .Dr Gahttas and her associate Dr.Perfetti correctly diagnosed my problem as primarily a postural one and addressed the specific muscles that needed to be first relaxed with massage and then strengthened with specific exercises in the office and at home. Each patient is given individual attention. My pain has been reduced to the point where I rarely take medication . I feel like I have been let out of prison. My wife also had very positive experiences with Universus in dealing with her hip pain.

I hiighly recommend UNIVERSUS PHYSICAL THERAPY. Before doing any physical therapy they do a full analysis of the injury that needs to be treated. The physical therapy is one on one which means your specific needs are addressed.. You are also provided with an e-mail video of the exercises you should do at home.

Shaden is a compassionate skillful physical therapist. Her knowledge of the body, hands on approach and ability to work with and listen to her patients is beyond what I have experienced with PTs in the past. I recommend her often without hesitation.

Shaden is a knowledgeable, caring and compassionate person. The 45 minutes one on one sessions are invaluable. I’ve been going to her for 3 years. I had spine fractures due to osteoporosis and Shaden was able to work with me to increase my strength and mobility which has helped me tremendously in preventing other fractures. I totally trust her expertise.
