Assessment first.
It's the whole practice.

I'm Daniel Seidler, PT, MSPT — a licensed physical therapist practicing in New York for over 25 years, most of it focused on low back pain and running injuries.

Here's what I've learned in those years: most care fails at the first step, not the last. People get generic treatment for a specific problem. The runner gets told to stretch. The back pain patient gets a printout of the same six exercises everyone gets. Nobody asked what kind of problem it was first.

Gowanus PT is built the other way around. Everything starts with an assessment — the Running Movement Score for runners, the STAN back-pain classification for backs. Then the treatment matches the finding. Sometimes that means working with me, virtually or in your home anywhere in Brooklyn. Often it means I point you to the PT whose training actually fits your pattern — and I'll tell you exactly why.
