Measure both sides
A single-leg number means nothing without the other leg next to it. Every test is a comparison, including the first one.
About · the practice
A Midtown lab that grew out of a treatment table
Two clinicians, private rooms, testing gear in the same space as the treatment table. Deliberately small, because the standard is easier to hold that way.

How it started
One table, two schedules, too many athletes
Peter Schultz and Alan Diamond met covering the same Midtown clientele from opposite sides of the city: office workers who still competed on weekends, college athletes home for the summer, dancers and runners who had been told to rest and had run out of patience with that answer.
They shared a treatment table on the fifth floor of 8 West 36th Street before they shared a name on the door. The practice exists because both of them kept writing the same complaint in their notes: the athlete had been treated, but nobody had measured whether the injured side had caught up.
So the measuring came first. Force plates, a timing gate, a testing battery that runs the same way every time, and a rule that no phase change happens on a hunch.
Who you will see
The two names on the door treat the caseload
There is no rotating pool of aides. Whoever starts your file finishes it, and the other clinician knows it well enough to cover a session if a schedule collapses.
Peter Schultz, PT
Owner. Peter carries the post-operative knee and Achilles caseload and signs off return-to-play testing. He is the one who will tell you that week nine is not week fourteen, no matter how good you feel on the day.
Alan Diamond, PT, DPT, OCS
Co-founder and clinical director. Alan built the testing battery and looks after overhead athletes and running mechanics. If your shoulder loses rotation by the fourth inning, this is the file he wants.
What we are not
Not a gym with a therapist attached, and not a clinic that runs four people through one hour. If you need a high-volume in-network mill, we will say so and point you somewhere honest about it.
House rules
Four things we do the same way every time
Write the exit condition
You learn what has to be true to leave a phase on the day you enter it. No moving goalposts halfway through.
Say the uncomfortable number
If the gap is still 18% two weeks before a tournament, you hear that from us rather than from a re-injury.
Hand the plan over
The programme is written so you can run it without us. Discharge is the point of the whole exercise.
The room
Built for testing, not for waiting
The floor plan puts the testing lane, the racks and the treatment tables in one space, so a session can move from hands-on work to loading to a retest without booking another appointment or another room.
Private rooms are available for treatment; the testing lane is shared and usually has one athlete on it. If you would rather not train in front of anyone, say so when you book and we will schedule you at a quiet hour.

Come in
Meet the practice with a baseline in hand
You do not need a diagnosis to start. Book the screen, get your numbers, and decide what you want to do about them with someone who will read them out loud.
