Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Recovery

Whether you're healing from surgery, managing chronic pain, or returning to sport, our evidence-based treatments are tailored to your specific condition and timeline.

Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Post-surgical recovery and injury repair for joints, spine, and soft tissue — guided by your surgeon's protocols and your body's pace.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on joint mobilizations, soft tissue techniques, and myofascial release to reduce pain, restore motion, and accelerate healing.

Sports Medicine

Return-to-play programs for athletes of all levels — from ligament repairs and fractures to overuse injuries and performance conditioning.

Neurological Rehabilitation

Restoring function and independence for conditions affecting the nervous system, including stroke recovery, balance disorders, and neuropathy.

Balance & Fall Prevention

Targeted assessments and training to improve stability, reduce fall risk, and build confidence in everyday movement — especially important as we age.

Chronic Pain Management

Long-term strategies that go beyond symptom relief — addressing root causes through movement, education, and sustainable self-management tools.

James Greico, PT, MS, OCS, DPT

A Doctor of Physical Therapy with a Master's degree and board certification in Orthopedic Clinical Specialties — James brings both academic rigor and genuine compassion to every patient interaction.

Based in Islip, he has spent over a decade helping people recover from surgery, overcome persistent pain, and regain the movement they thought was lost. His approach combines hands-on manual therapy with targeted exercise, always grounded in current evidence and adjusted to how you actually respond day to day.

He believes recovery isn't a checklist — it's a conversation. That's why every treatment plan starts with listening: understanding what matters to you, what your body is capable of, and what realistic progress looks like on your timeline.

How Recovery Unfolds at Greico PT

A clear path from your first visit to lasting results — every step designed around your needs.

01

Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a thorough assessment — your history, movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and functional goals. This isn't a rush; it's how we build a picture of where you are and where you're headed.

02

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on the evaluation, we create a plan that fits your condition, your schedule, and your life. You'll know exactly what to expect and why each element matters.

03

Hands-On Therapy & Exercise

Sessions combine manual therapy techniques with guided exercise, modalities when appropriate, and progressive loading — all adjusted as your body responds.

04

Progress & Independence

We track your progress honestly and adjust as needed. The goal is always the same: you leaving with the strength, knowledge, and confidence to manage your health on your own.

Words from People Who Recovered Here

"After my knee surgery, I was worried I'd never move normally again. James took the time to explain every step of my rehab and adjusted the plan as I progressed. Six weeks later I was walking without a limp — something I didn't think was possible."

— Islip Resident

"What sets this practice apart is the genuine care. James doesn't treat you like a number — he remembers details from your first visit, checks in on how you're feeling, and makes sure you understand what's happening with your body. It makes all the difference."

— Commuter from Bayshore

"I'd been dealing with lower back pain for years before finding James. Other places just gave me exercises to do alone. Here, I got hands-on treatment, real adjustments to my plan, and a home program that actually fit my schedule. The pain is finally manageable."

— Long Island Local
