Park Sports Physical Therapy

What Park Sports Physical Therapy does

Park Sports Physical Therapy is a Brooklyn-headquartered outpatient physical therapy practice founded in 1998 by Boris Gilzon and Svetlana Lazarev as a two-therapist clinic in Park Slope. The practice delivers a comprehensive clinical portfolio spanning general orthopedic rehabilitation, sports rehabilitation and running analysis, hand therapy (including CHT-certified clinicians), vestibular and neurological rehabilitation, pediatric physical therapy, pelvic floor therapy (in-person and telehealth), Schroth-method scoliosis treatment, pulmonary/post-COVID rehabilitation, post-surgical joint replacement recovery, and workers' compensation return-to-work programs. Service delivery blends in-clinic care across five operational Brooklyn locations (Park Slope/Sixth Avenue, Prospect Park West, Williamsburg, Clinton Hill, Greenpoint) plus an Astoria, Queens clinic — with two additional Brooklyn sites (Ditmas Park, Fort Greene) publicly announced as forthcoming — and a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for orthopedic, post-operative, and pelvic floor consultations.

The practice invests in differentiated clinical technology, including Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training using pneumatic tourniquet systems to accelerate muscle adaptation under reduced joint load, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill for gait and running analysis, and certified Schroth scoliosis protocols. Clinical staff carry board-level specializations (Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Hand Therapist) and specialized training (manual therapy via the Institute of Physical Art and MAPS), with co-founder Boris Gilzon holding PT, DPT, OCS, CHT credentials.

Park Sports generates revenue through fee-for-service physical therapy billed to insurance, workers' compensation, and auto insurance, supplemented by direct-pay and telehealth sessions, with a freemium front-end (complimentary pain and injury assessments) feeding the funnel. Distribution is direct-to-consumer with a direct-access model (no physician referral required in most cases), augmented by institutional referral relationships with Hospital for Special Surgery (member of HSS Rehabilitation Network) and Mt. Sinai, plus community partnerships with Crown Heights Running Club and Park Slope United. Since March 2022, Park Sports has operated as Ivy Rehab Network's first set of New York City clinics, gaining access to the parent's 300+ clinic national network, operational systems, and advanced clinical resources while maintaining its community-oriented brand and clinical team.
