Physical Therapy at Brooklyn Spine Center
Physical therapy at Brooklyn Spine Center focuses on restoring real function, not just relieving pain in the moment. Our licensed physical therapist, Larry Codner, RPT, designs individual plans that combine targeted exercise, manual therapy, and supportive modalities to help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
Personalized therapy with one goal: getting you back to full function
Larry works within the same integrated care model as the rest of our team. Your plan is built around your specific injury, movement limitations, and recovery goals, and it’s coordinated with any other care you’re receiving, like chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, or PEMF therapy.
What makes physical therapy here different:
- Exercises built around your specific injury and goals, not a standard printed sheet.
- Hands-on manual therapy to address soft tissue tightness and joint restriction directly.
- Progress tracked visit to visit, with your plan adjusted as you improve.
- Coordinated with chiropractic care, decompression, PEMF, cold laser, or shockwave when appropriate.
Every phase of recovery has a purpose
Different patients need different combinations of exercise, hands-on work, and support depending on where they are in recovery. See how physical therapy fits with our other services.
Therapeutic exercise
Targeted exercises to rebuild strength, stability, and control, progressed as your body is ready.
Manual therapy
Hands-on techniques for muscle tightness and joint restriction that exercise alone can’t always fix.
Neuromuscular re-education
Retraining how your muscles and joints work together to correct habits that develop after injury or long-term pain.
Post-injury and post-surgical rehabilitation
A step-by-step plan to safely rebuild strength and range of motion after an injury or surgery.
Coordinated with your other care
If you’re also receiving chiropractic care, decompression, PEMF, cold laser, or shockwave, your physical therapy is planned to support the same goals.

Results that go beyond pain relief
As strength returns and movement improves, many patients notice better overall function and less strain on other areas of the body, especially when physical therapy is combined with chiropractic care or other therapies.
Reduced pain and improved daily function
Less pain and stiffness as strength and mobility return.
Improved strength, flexibility, and range of motion
Restoration of movement that injury, surgery, or chronic dysfunction has limited.
Better movement patterns, less compensation
Correcting how you move reduces strain on the joints and muscles that have been picking up the slack.
Progress that builds over time
Gains in strength and mobility build as your plan progresses, especially when you keep up with your home exercises.
