Physical Therapist/Acupuncturist/Homeopath -- Any Suggestion

I am looking for recommendations for the following:

It would be nice to find a PT office in the nabe of Park Slope/Prospect Hights but downtown Manhattan as a last resort.

Physical Therapist (NO RIP OFFS and professional demeanor)
Acupuncturist
Homeopath

I do belong to the Park Slope Food Coop but that doesn't mean that the folks who advertise their services are any good. Had a bad experience years ago with a
holistic dentist, lol.

Please share your personal experiences.

Thanks.

Years ago I needed physical therapy and I went to Metro Sports (right above Barnes and Noble). My rehab doctor had a PT at his office, but he didn't take my insurance any longer so he referred me there. They were great - and the hours were great as well - I didn't have to miss any work to get there - I believe all my appointmetns were 6:30 or 7:00 pm

Dr. Iozzio on 1st Street is a fantastic acupuncturist, and I believe a PT works out of his office as well. He's less of the enya-listening, scented candle kinda guy than a get-you-back-on-your-feet kinda guy, which is why I like him. You can google for the #.

+1 for John Iozzio. He is also a chiropractor in addition to Acupuncturist and there is a PT group on the floor above him.

I would also like to know some good acupuncturists... never done it but my wife is interested in getting it done for her sinus pressure. Anyone have an idea of how much it costs?

Nicole Tatum. Her business (Tatum Accupuncture) is located on Flatbush Avenue, just north of Prospect. I went there for some foot pain which she was able to relieve. I was a first timer and a bit wary, but she put me at ease and was quite lovely.

for PT, I really like Southwest Physical Healing in Windsor Terrace. They specialize in myofascial release (basically, they hands-on stretch you for the whole session) which for me was much better than the sports-type PT I had received years ago where a therapist sends you to a bicycle or treadmill for most of your session. I can do that at the gym....

I'm interested in the average cost for acupuncture as well...

^ really depends on what you are going for, the acupuncturist's experience, etc., but you can pay $100+ per treatment..... you can find some places with a sliding scale, or go to PCOM (Pacific College of Oriental Medicine) where you see students who are supervised by licensed instructors. They run a clinic that you can go to for about $25.

needles in my face... as much as I like a discount, I don't think I'll take a student.

I went to the PCOM clinic for many years and saw over a dozen different students with no problem. A very good friend of mine graduated from there, and I got to know many of the students and the teachers. Students are pretty careful especially with an instructor watching them (and they have to sign off on the treatment before it starts). Plus, the students are several semesters in......they don't let brand new students needle you.

my leg was shattered last year in a bad accident and after being in the hospital for months, the folks at one-on-one physical therapy basically taught me to walk again and got me moving like a human being. if you don't know what happened, there's very little evidence. i would recommend them 100%.

they have 2 locations close to us (out of several brooklyn locations) - i went to the one in brooklyn heights on joralemon st / court st (it's IN the equinox gym - ooh la la). they also operate out of the eastern athletic building on eastern parkway by grand army.

if you go to either location, ask for jesse simon. he runs both locations on alternating days. (this is jesse: http://www.oneonone-pt.com/1976552.html)

seriously, i couldn't recommend them more.

Tri-State Acupuncture Clinic. $30/session: http://www.tsca.edu/

I had acid reflux for years. $60 and 2 acupuncture sessions, later, I didn't (and still don't).

I don't understand it but I do recommend it.

Danielle123.. Very interesting recommendation.
Thanks

Element Natural Healing Arts on Henry St in Carroll Gardens. Going there for the second time tomorrow, really great staff.

brooklyn acupuncture project has a sliding scale that starts pretty low. it's in a community setting, so you get treated at the same time as 3-4 other people, but it's clean and nice. the practitioners spend a lot of time talking to you about your particular concerns, so it's not like everyone getting treated at once gets the same treatment. i'm liking it so far.

I agree. I had a very pleasant experience at Metro Sports. Clean, nice and professional. You'll get a recorded message the day before your appt. as a reminder.
