With over 25 years of experience in downtown Brooklyn, Dr. Stoly specializes in diagnosing, treating, and documenting injuries from slip-and-falls, construction mishaps, work-related incidents (Workers’ Compensation), and automobile accidents (No Fault).
Physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who assess patients’ conditions and develop tailored treatments to enhance movement, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability following injury or illness.
Conditions commonly treated by physical therapists include:
- Back pain, neck pain, sprains, and strains

- Work injuries (Workers’ Compensation)
- Auto accidents (No Fault)
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Whiplash
- Herniated discs/spinal disc disease
- Sciatica
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Pre- and post-operative care
- Overuse injuries (repetitive stress injuries)
Physical therapy begins with a comprehensive health history and orthopedic and neurologic screening. Therapeutic approaches may include:
- Patient education on health, wellness, and safety
- Manual therapies like massage, mobilization, and manipulation
- Therapeutic exercises
- Pain management techniques
- Application of modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation
- Training in activities of daily living
Referred physical therapists excel in meticulous injury documentation and are certified by New York State for Workers’ Compensation cases. This ensures that patients receive free treatment (covered by their Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier) and compensation for lost wages if unable to work. Treatment remains free upon return to work.
Physical therapy plays a pivotal role in restoring optimal health following accidents. When combined with other referred specialists (orthopedists, neurologists, pain management experts, etc.), Dr. Yura Stoly ensures thorough diagnosis, treatment, and documentation of injuries to expedite recovery and restore patients to maximum health.
