NY SPORTS AND SPINAL

What NY SPORTS AND SPINAL does

NY Sports and Spinal Physical Therapy is a privately-held outpatient physical therapy practice founded in 2008 by Dr. Karn Santikul and headquartered at 838 Scarsdale Ave in Scarsdale, NY. The firm operates a single clinical location serving Westchester County communities including Scarsdale, Larchmont, and Armonk, with a team of approximately 11-50 employees that includes licensed physical therapists, a COO, a Director of Patient Coordinators, and physical therapy aides. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: patients can self-refer via New York Direct Access or come in through physician referral and workers' compensation channels.

The practice's service catalog centers on hands-on manual therapy as the foundational treatment modality, supplemented by laser therapy, spinal decompression, the Graston technique, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, kinesio taping, cupping therapy, running/gait analysis, and trigger point therapy. Specialty clinical programs cover pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injury rehab, work injury rehab, hand therapy, vestibular and balance disorders, gait disorders, neurological conditions (Parkinson's, stroke, MS), ergonomics training, and chronic pain management. Treatment sessions are structured around a minimum of 30 minutes of direct one-on-one therapist time plus 30 minutes with a PT aide, distinguishing the practice from higher-volume hospital or corporate PT settings.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis billed per visit through a mix of commercial insurance, workers' compensation, and self-pay, with no disclosed subscription product, no published pricing, and no institutional payer contracts. The business is founder-led (CEO Dr. Karn Santikul, COO Steven Scotton), has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no PE/VC backing, operating as an independent community clinic. Marketing is concentrated on organic channels (local SEO, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, an educational health blog) and patient referral/word-of-mouth, with no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI-driven offering evident in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Ivy Rehab Network: Large, multi-site outpatient PT network with significant presence across the Northeast including the NY metro. Competes for the same orthopedic and sports-injury patient pool in Westchester but operates a high-volume, multi-clinic model rather than a boutique one-on-one practice.
• Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Rehab: Rehabilitation arm of HSS, one of the world's leading orthopedic hospitals, with multiple outpatient PT locations across NY including Westchester. Competes for the same high-acuity orthopedic and post-surgical patients but at a much larger institutional scale.
• ATI Physical Therapy: National outpatient PT chain with broad orthopedic, sports, and workers' comp offerings. Operates at much larger scale than NYSS and competes for the same referral and self-pay patients in the NY region through employer and physician contracts.
