Meet the Visionaries:

Moustafa Abouelala, DPT, and Islam Bekhet, DPT

Behind NYC Physical Therapy, there is  a power and dynamic duo, Dr. Moustafa Abouelala and Dr. Islam Bekhet, whose shared passion for transformative healthcare led them on a journey to redefine physical therapy. Their story began in the bustling streets of New York City, where they recognized the need for a different kind of care—one centered around genuine connection, personalized attention, and a commitment to holistic well-being.

As seasoned Doctors of Physical Therapy, Dr. Moustafa and Dr. Islam envisioned a clinic that went beyond traditional practices, where each patient is not just a case but an individual with a unique narrative. They brought their collective expertise, Dr. Moustafa's in-depth understanding of biomechanics and Dr. Islam's specialization in sports rehabilitation, to create a space that reflects their shared values.

NYC Physical Therapy was born from this vision, a place where the synergy of Dr. Moustafa and Dr. Islam's expertise harmonizes with a compassionate approach to healing. Every interaction at NYC Physical Therapy is rooted in their commitment to providing personalized, evidence-based care that transcends the norm.
