Higher Physical Therapy was created by Julie Zapata, a licensed PT for 22 years.  Ever since her first job, Julie noticed the limitations that the system placed on good therapists and doctors and wanted to make a difference.  She has always intended to provide the highest level care, no matter the obstacle. Since 2000, insurance limitations have only gotten worse.  Therapists and Doctors have even less time to spend with patients and less choice.  Many providers and patients have realized that our healthcare system is broken.  Higher PT is a hybrid practice.  It is the best arrangement we can make in order to provide the type of therapy we think that our clients deserve. We work with Medicare and out of network with the other major payors.

Higher PT is a general practice for all adults and children who have a physical need. We provide New Yorkers with a way to become and stay active and healthy without depending on medication and surgeries. All of the therapists in the practice are dedicated to their own optimal physical health, and educate all of clients with their expertise.
