One-on-One Dedicated Care

Your therapist is exclusively with you for the entire session. Since you are the only priority the result is focused, productive and efficient healing.
Most PT clinics schedule multiple patients per hour per practitioner, resulting in scattered care and limited congruency between sessions.

Holistic Approach

Treatments are performed with a comprehensive understanding of how individual systems function relative to other bodily systems. We treat beyond the symptom and address the whole body to get at the root cause.
Most therapists focus solely on rehabbing the injury. We are whole person-focused; we consider physical, nutritional and emotional components to your wellness. We offer expertise in holistic living and eating for optimal healing.

Spa-like Atmosphere

Our office and treatment spaces are beautiful, private, comfortable and calm. They bring a sense of comfort and peace.
We designed our atmosphere to be a calm oasis from the outside world; non-medical, non-office-like and non-gym-like. Our patients look forward to their sessions, which is ideal for healing.

Hands-on Manual Therapy

There is abundant evidence for the healing power of touch, and for that reason, manual therapy will be the main component of your treatment.
Advanced treatment modalities are coupled with specific home programs that may include exercise, lifestyle modifications, and manual self-care techniques.

Respectful of Your Time

Your time is valuable so we make it a point to run on schedule. You won't be wasting moments of your day sitting in our waiting room.
We understand that you have other things going on in your life and it’s difficult to prioritize taking care of yourself. When you make the decision to work with us, we honor that choice by respecting your time.

Created for You

Women deserve care from experts that understand their unique needs and circumstances. Treating women throughout all their life stages requires ‘a different approach’, which is why I founded ADAPT.

Heather Strauch, MS, PT

Conditions Treated

We specialize in conditions most physical therapists don't because you deserve the kind of excellence that only a specialist practice can provide.
We see you; we listen to you; and we guide you with keen sensitivity and awareness of how to incorporate your rehabilitation into your busy life. We understand the nuances that make your situation unique and together we will create a plan-of-care that will enable you to focus on feeling better and getting back to life sooner.

Since 2006, ADAPT has earned a reputation for excellence. Our commitment to our patients, values and quality of care are apparent to every patient and in every case. We are here to be partners in your journey to wellness.

Here's What Our Patients Have to Say

  • Tricia, you are a life-saver! The work we have done has made me feel so much better. Thank you so, so much!
  • After 6 months of pain and numbness, 3 doctors, and 2 MRI’s, I found a specialist in NYC who diagnosed me with pudendal neuralgia. He quickly referred me to Heather’s practice. Immediately my healing process began as Heather has seen and treated this rare condition before. She walked me through every step of the treatment. She not only treats the various impacted muscles and issues, but I was particularly impressed with her comprehensive holistic analysis of nutrition in addition to the physical component. She makes you feel comfortable throughout and I highly recommend her and the practice.
  • I want to thank you SO much for your help - I feel like I can walk almost normally again and I'm finally getting some sleep! You are a lifesaver! Now I can enjoy my pregnancy pain free!
  • I’ve been meaning to write you a handwritten thank you note but I can’t seem to get to it so I figured an email was better than letting my gratitude go unexpressed! I can’t thank you enough for relieving me of all my recent plugs, especially when you came in over Labor Day to see me! I so appreciate it and you saved me! Knock on wood, no issues since and hopefully no more! But if they return, I know where to go. Thank you so much!!!
  • I'm doing so much better! A couple of days ago I finally could imagine feeling normal again and today I found myself forgetting that I had something wrong. I'm not quite there yet but I am so close! I am so relieved to be working with you on this journey! Thank you so so much for all of your help, support and availability!
  • I finally had my baby! She was 9 days late, but luckily I avoided being induced and did go into labor on my own. The labor went really well - it was a totally different experience than the first time. I didn’t tear at all, which was amazing! Thanks again helping me recover from my first birth and preparing for my second! It made a huge difference in my delivery and helping me not to tear. I’m very proud of my body for having such a great delivery after the difficult last one.
  • I wanted to drop you a quick note thanking you for changing my life! A year ago I was a cranky 35 year old trapped in an achy 85 year old body. My hip and entire right side hurt when I ran, swam, yoga’d, shoveled, raked, went sledding, etc. In fact I hurt after pretty much ALL physical activity; even nights were horrible as my psoas spasms were so disruptive to my sleep. Thanks to our sessions and your expertise, I’m swimming, biking, running, practicing yoga, hiking, racing and pretty much doing everything that I loved to do 7 years ago before my hip/psoas problem started. I tried many doctors, physical therapist, massage therapists, chiropractors along the way; my only misstep was not coming to you sooner when my friends initially recommended you!
  • I wanted to check in with you and let you know how GREAT I am doing!! Changing my diet, lots of water, returning to regular exercise, plenty of sleep and the results are me fitting back into my size 6 jeans again!! I feel like a completely different woman. I had to go to Long Island this weekend for a Christening in my family and everyone, I mean EVERYONE told me how different I looked and how GREAT I looked! It really made my heart sing. The combination of working with you and a naturopath is just a perfect fit for me. I turn 55 on Monday and I feel like I am 40 again! Thanks again for helping me achieve wellness once again in my life!!
  • I have really recovered a lot over the past few weeks! First, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your help and support during this difficult time. Your coaching on how to manage my bowels was invaluable. I wouldn’t have managed without. I also appreciated your moral support and great listening ear. You have a wonderful can-do attitude that always looks for another solution and doesn’t take 'not possible' as an answer.
  • Heather is amazing and helped me so fast. I highly recommend a few sessions to EVERY woman who has had a baby. Life changing!
  • I just wanted to say thank you so much for “fixing” me! I can’t say enough about how much you’ve helped me and of course, my marriage!
  • I came to see Heather a couple years after sustaining a groin, back, and leg injury that left me with severely limited mobility. She was optimistic she could help and after only a few visits I began experiencing tremendous improvement. Her expertise, knowledge, and skillful intuitive touch have produced amazing results. Thank you for keeping me moving!
  • I was very nervous about developing lymphedema and I have no doubt that Heather’s training and expert knowledge of lymphatic massage prevented it. In addition, Heather also worked on my postural alignment issues, which relieved the back and shoulder problems I developed during my year-long cancer treatment cycle. I am forever grateful to Heather and highly recommend her!
