Dix Hills Patients Trust Movement First PT

Results from active adults near Dix Hills who stopped accepting back pain as the price of staying active.

The best!! I cannot say enough incredible things about SK. I tried the traditional PT route which did nothing for me. After a month of working together I already felt better and had gained so much confidence in healing from my injury. The steroid injection, MRI was a waste of money. All I needed was smart movement which he taught me. I would 100 percent work with him again in the future.
Courtney Gerring
I’ve had a great experience working with Saransh. I’ve dealt with multiple injuries, including my shoulder and back, and he has been incredibly helpful throughout the process. I’m feeling much better now. The key is to trust the process and stay consistent. I highly recommend him.
Mehran Moosavi
I love being active, specifically I love weightlifting. I found Saransh when I was desperate. I was in pain 24/7, whether sitting, standing or walking. Laying on the couch was my life without pain. I hadn’t injured myself, I had gradually ended up in that space, so I knew there had to be an option other than back surgery for the herniated disc showing up on my MRI. Saransh 100% provided that second option. You don’t need surgery! He not only helped me out of pain, but taught me how I got there in the first place. All of the tools I have learned I will use the rest of my life to stay healthy and well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Dix Hills residents want to know before starting PT at Movement First.

Do I need to see my doctor before starting physical therapy?

No referral is needed. New York allows direct access to physical therapy, so Dix Hills residents can schedule a free phone consult with Dr. Kapoor directly. If you have recent imaging or a history of treatment you'd like to discuss, we welcome that information as part of your initial intake.

How far is Movement First PT from Dix Hills?

We're located at 1827 Deer Park Ave Unit A in Deer Park typically just a 10 to 15 minute drive from most parts of Dix Hills. Sessions are scheduled to fit your week, and most patients find it easy to work appointments into their training schedule without disruption.

What makes your approach different from other clinics I've tried?

Every session at Movement First is one-on-one with Dr. Kapoor, DPT never handed to an aide. We use 3D-powered movement analysis to look at objective data on how your body moves, so we're identifying the actual cause of your pain rather than treating symptoms. The result is a plan that bridges rehab and training so you don't just feel better temporarily you build lasting strength and confidence.

Can I keep training while I'm going through PT?

For most patients, yes. We're built for active adults and we understand the importance of keeping you moving. Rather than telling you to stop everything, we work with your training plan to modify loads or movements as needed. Smart, progressive movement is usually part of the solution, not the obstacle.

Is cash-based PT worth the investment?

When traditional PT hasn't delivered results, the value is in what you actually get: a full session with a doctoral-level provider every time, advanced diagnostic tools like 3D movement assessment, and a personalized plan that treats you as an individual. Many patients near Dix Hills find that fewer, higher-quality sessions produce better outcomes than more visits at a standard in-network clinic.
