Biomechanical Assessment
A precise, hands-on evaluation of movement, load transfer, and joint mechanics that traces symptoms back to the segment actually driving them.
Doctor of Physical Therapy · Brooklyn, NY
The Science. The Movement. The Mindset.
Two decades of biomechanical expertise devoted to a single idea: treat the root cause, not the symptom. Dr. Abdurrahman Abushady helps patients, athletes, and clinicians move without limits.

The Movement
Self-Check
The same opening questions Dr. Abushady asks in a first appointment, arranged into a short screening. It maps what you are feeling onto the kinetic chain most likely driving it, and tells you what a sensible first step looks like.
Where does your chain break?
Answer six quick questions and you will get a written profile: the region involved, the chain worth investigating first, the stage you are in, and the appointment type that fits. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere.
Educational screening only. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an in-person examination by a qualified clinician.

About Dr. A
Two Decades of
Human Biomechanics
Driven by a lifelong passion for human biomechanics and movement, Dr. Abushady, DPT, brings two decades of clinical expertise to the forefront of physical therapy. A graduate of Dominican University in New York, his distinguished 20-year career is defined by a commitment to identifying and treating the root cause of musculoskeletal dysfunction rather than merely managing symptoms.
Renowned by patients and colleagues alike for his masterful manual skills and precision in biomechanical assessment, Dr. Abushady combines elite clinical outcomes with a steadfast belief in conservative management. By blending advanced diagnostics with dedicated patient education, he empowers individuals to reclaim their movement, optimize performance, and sustain a healthy lifestyle long-term.

“Pain is rarely an isolated event. My job is to find where the chain actually broke.”
The Method
Treat the Cause.
Not the Symptom.
Every plan of care begins with an advanced biomechanical assessment — reading the body as an interconnected system of kinetic chains rather than a collection of painful parts.
Skilled Manual Therapy
Two decades of refined manual skill applied to restore mobility, decompress irritated tissue, and restore mechanics that exercise alone cannot reach.
Conservative Management
A steadfast preference for resolving musculoskeletal conditions without unnecessary injections or surgery — when the mechanics can be corrected first.
Patient Education
Patients leave understanding their own body. Education is what makes results durable long after discharge.
Kinetic Chain Thinking
Where the pain is felt is rarely where the problem lives.

How We Work Together
New Patient Visit
A full history, movement screen, and biomechanical assessment resulting in a written plan of care — with the working hypothesis explained in plain language.
Book NowPhysical Therapy Consultation
Already have a diagnosis, imaging, or a surgical recommendation? A focused second opinion on whether conservative management can resolve it first.
Book NowHands-On Manual Therapy
Individual, one-on-one treatment sessions — never handed off to an aide. Manual therapy paired with prescriptive loading and movement retraining.
Book NowPost-Operative Rehabilitation
Protocol-informed but individually progressed rehabilitation after shoulder, knee, hip, and spinal surgery — restoring capacity, not just range of motion.
Book NowScoliosis & Spine Deformity
Conservative management of adolescent and adult spinal deformity, with postural retraining, targeted strengthening, and long-term monitoring.
Book NowMovement & Performance Optimization
For athletes and active professionals who are not injured but are limited — resolving the mechanical restrictions capping performance.
