Wherever you are
Chaim travels to his clients, across a borough or across the country, and a recovery does not start over when the address changes.
. . . in your own house
Physical Therapy
at your doorstep, at your bedside, at your hospital, at your home.
Skip the facility. Expert rehabilitation comes to you.
Thirty years of hands-on rehabilitation, brought to wherever you already are: the living room, a hospital ward, the stairway you cannot manage yet. Chaim Backman, PT, and his team.

Why home
The other twenty-one hours.
A rehabilitation facility gives two or three hours of therapy a day. The rest of the time a patient waits in their room, because an unsupervised fall is a liability nobody wants to carry.
So the hours meant to rebuild someone are spent losing ground instead. Balance and movement are skills, and skills left unused go rusty.
Every hour of the day counts, from getting up, dressing, crossing the room, reaching the kitchen, eating, and managing the stairs. Every ordinary activity is aimed towards the same goal: function and independence, sooner.
The therapist
A lifetime of practice, focused entirely on you.
For over thirty years, Chaim Backman has helped people move better, recover stronger, and live more fully. As a licensed physical therapist, certified health coach, and USA Triathlon coach, he brings a rare breadth of expertise, and the patience, warmth, and discretion of someone who has spent a career in other people's homes rather than behind a clinic desk.
He has chosen a different model of care: no clinic, no waiting room, no rushing. Physical and occupational therapy brought to wherever you are, with Chaim, or with a therapist from his team working to the standard he sets.
