Spear Physical and Occupational Therapy

I have had the distinct pleasure of being treated for a neck fracture by Dylan Pearce at the Park Slope Spear Physical Therapy Center. Dylan is an exceptionally skilled physical therapist, not only because of his deep clinical knowledge but also because he patiently listened to my symptoms, answered any questions I had and was then able to tailor a treatment plan which provided me with the best possible outcome at every session. I wholeheartedly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a physical therapist who is highly skilled, kind and understands that each individual is unique. I felt very safe and confident with his treatment plans and he has made a significant impact my healing process. I am sure Dylan will do the same for anyone fortunate enough to engage him in their discovery of long-term health.

Couldn't ask for a better experience or a better place or better people! I've recommended Spear at Union Street to friends who have also gone and loved it. Most recently, I saw Dylan and he is so unbelievably knowledgable, supportive and determined to help in any way (and goes out of his way to understand what's impacting you and also explain the best course of action). I'm excited to be pain-free now, but sad to not see everyone each week.

These incredible people helped me heal from a debilitating injury over the course of a year — my PT Dylan was supremely knowledgeable and kind, following up with me in office and offline. Physical manipulation, exercise, lifestyle adjustments, education — they gave me everything I needed to go from being unable to get up into bed unassisted to being able to run and lift weights. The team of techs are skilled, patient, humorous, and excellent. The front desk staff are accommodating and enthusiastic. 10/10, would come back the next time I find myself unable to move.

Genevieve Smith completely fixed my knee!! I was having pain, was unable to run, thought i had arthritis or something needing surgery. She showed me how I’d been walking funny to compensate for an old toe surgery. She gave me manageable exercises yo strengthen my legs and hips and create balanced strength on both legs. She’s also kind and present, efficient and she follows up. Great experience. I can run again!

Cannot recommend Spear enough! I’ve been coming here for almost a year and working with Dominick after tearing my ACL and having reconstruction surgery. Dom is incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging and always works with me to tailor solutions to my specific needs as they come up. It’s clear he has lots of experience and knows when to push me and when to recommend easing up. When recovery has felt like more of a mental challenge than a physical one, he’s provided perspective, encouragement and a listening ear. Working with him has been most essential for my recovery. And just as importantly, the overall vibe at Spear is so positive that it doesn’t feel like a chore to go to therapy. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help that you know you’re in great hands, whether it’s with the folks at the front desk or the techs on the floor. It’s clear that everyone likes their job and their coworkers, and feels passionate about helping people return to the activities they love. And that positivity is equally as essential as the exercises on days when it feels like progress has plateaued or even backslid.

Anushka was very professional, personable, knowledgeable and was able to apply her expertise in such a caring and helpful way. She answered my many questions with patience. She also referred me to a specialist. The staff was really helpful. They got me an ice pad for my neck and shoulders and made sure I had a pillow as I iced up. River was super kind at the front desk making sure I was accommodated. Thank you all!! 🫶🫶

I went to Spear to treat a sprained ankle and a bulged disc that occurred after a back surgery. I was unable to walk without pain and frequently injured myself in the gym. After hardly three months of work with Dylan, my pain had gone away entirely and my body feels better than it ever has. I strongly recommend Spear, and Dylan specifically to anybody seeking physical therapy.

Dylan Pearce was my physical therapist, and he is wonderful! He has a deep knowledge of his profession, he’s friendly, remembers what you need to do to get better even when juggling several clients. The facility is airy and clean, and the staff is hard working yet fun. I highly recommend this place and the staff.
