, improve your function, and enhance your quality of life. We create personalized treatment plans that focus on your unique needs, ensuring an effective approach to your care
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic illness of the nervous system where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers (myelin) in the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. This leads to communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body.
The exact cause of MS is unknown, but it is believed to be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is not directly inherited, but certain genetic markers may increase the likelihood of developing the disease.
Symptoms of MS can vary greatly from person to person and can include fatigue, difficulty walking, numbness or tingling, muscle spasms, weakness, problems with coordination and balance, and problems with thinking and memory.
There is no cure for MS, but physical therapy can play a vital role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life. The approach at Excel Physical Therapy focuses on:

Excellent office, above and beyond service! All people work as a TEAM. Karina is a jewel to this place: friendly, nice and supportive. All people make you feel in a Spa, not in a doctor's office in it's usual sense (where you want to leave asap). Eros is a very knowledgeable and helpful (for any questions you get answers in a professional manner - he knows what he is doing and does an excellent job ). Grateful to Dr.Inna Kouperman MS,PT,who managed to organize her office in such a manner. The name Excel Physical Therapy says it all! Everybody knows that the Front desk is the Face of the office. So, I have to mention Tamara, who is always reminding me about appointment by phone and also greets with the smile and friendly face. I would greatly recommend this place to all people and would give more than 5 stars!!! Love you all!

I have been coming for 1 month. When I 1st came I could not even walk a block without having to stop because my legs, back & feet were killing me. I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet going to my calves as well. I have been having tens unit & hot stone therapy on my feet & calves and it is FANTASTIC. I have also been doing the bicycle (started at 5 minutes and now I can do 15 minutes) and balance & stretching for my calves & thighs. Inna is a MIRACLE WORKER. Last week after I left her office, i went walking from Brighton 3rd St. to 1 block short of Coney Island Ave. Then I turned down the block to Brighton Beach Ave. I walked all the way down to Brighton 1st St. without any PAIN or TROUBLE WITH MY FEET. Inna Kouperman Of EXCEL PHYSICAL THERAPY is the ABSOLUTE BEST and I RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY.. I can't wait to see what the next months progress brings !!!!!

Inna is just a know it all physical therapist, from my knee to my shoulder injury, she was able to help me heal my injuries. She takes her time and every time there is a different type of excercise or massage applied to the injured area. Can't say enough good things about her staff especially coming from different places like One n One where they do dverything repeatedly and nothing gets done.
