Hello, I’m AGATA.

——————

I am a physical therapist who believes every person is shaped by experience, yet always capable of change and growth.

Sport has been a part of my life from an early age. I began playing tennis at five years of age, competing nationally until my teens, ranking in the top ten in Poland in my age group. I later transitioned to archery, representing the Polish National Team and placing third at the national championships. I then went on to compete in triathlons, qualifying for the U.S. Championships. If anything, this lifelong immersion in sport taught me resilience, discipline, and the value of deliberate training. It also shapes how I care for my patients today by helping them unlock their potential, not just a quick recovery from injury.

I started my career as a therapist with an intensive neuro-rehabilitation residency at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Vallejo, California. Combined with years working in leading NYC physical therapy practices, this experience shaped my commitment to delivering thoughtful, transparent, and highly individualized care.

Becoming a mother added a deeper dimension to my work. It strengthened my patience (by quite a lot!), adaptability, and understanding of how life experiences influence both physical and mental resilience.

I founded ToThrive Physical Therapy to redefine what rehabilitation really can be and how it can bring lasting change. My approach blends sports-centric methodology with holistic insight, focusing not only on recovery, but on empowering people to care proactively for their health before any injury even occurs. My goal is to understand the core issues holding my patients back, help them move with confidence, and support them in reaching and sustaining peak performance.

    Agata was professional, courteous, and ver knowledgeable . She listened to all of my concerns and , after a thorough evaluation, worked her magic! After some manual therapy and a few exercises, she had me feeling better after just one session. She even gave me some exercises to do on my own so that I could continue to improve. If you need PT, you won’t be disappointed; Agata is the best!

    I first met Agata when I had an ACL revision after my original injury 10 years earlier. I could not run and had lots of pain walking, stairs etc. After surgery, due to Agata’s knowledge of the injury, collaboration efforts with the surgeon and genuine care for her patients, IO was read to run for the first time in 10 years within 3 months. of PT with her. I then slipped on black ice, suffering a broken kneecap, compounding the injury and making PT very complicated. We continued to work together, and not only did Agata help me walk again, but she also coached me through strength training and flexibility and trained me to be back at my best. She is the single best PT I have ever worked with and always treats the patient, not their symptoms. As an athlete herself, she knows how to get people back into action. I will never go to anyone else for physical therapy!

    Agata is the best! She helped me to fix a chronic help and lower back issue which nobody else could diagnose or explain. She is very technical and explains everything carefully. She’s also very patient and kind, which was much needed when I was in pain. I highly recommend her!

    It has been a pleasure to work with Agata. She is extremely knowledgeable and has taught me numerous ways to help with my hip pain. I also really love the one-on-one attention Agata provides. I have been to PT in the past, where I barely saw the therapist and was just put on a machine to do my own thing. Highly recommend Agata!
