Testimonials

There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe the magic that this doctor has right here. He is a HEALER in every sense of the word. Dr. Gvili always took his time to get to know me as an individual and then broke my issue down meticulously like he was rearranging a puzzle. God Bless you! I hope everyone in NYC gets to see you because you are truly the best! : )

I was in debilitating pain for years until I finally got the proper care I needed. Dr. Gvili not only was able to educate me on what was going on (which no doctor has done before) but was able to get me on a path to at least 50% reduction of symptoms within a few sessions. My quality of life has increased dramatically and I cannot extend my gratitude enough. He truly is a godsend. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Probably the coolest Doc I have ever met. He is the most caring, genuine and upfront person you will EVER meet. I went to see Adam as a last resort. If I couldn't get better with him, I was going to do a very invasive surgery that probably wasn't going to help me. Thank god is all I have to say. I would not wish pelvic pain on anyone. Adam is not only 1 of few males in the country that treats this condition but also went through it himself. I am writing this in hopes that everyone who seeks care for this issue can find it through him, as I really believe that this is the gold standard of care. I truly wish Dr. Adam Gvili nothing but the best as I believe that he will revolutionize the pelvic floor realm.... A million more thank you's!

Adam is an extraordinary physical therapist. He integrates exquisite professional knowledge of pelvic floor functioning, warmth and authenticity, and business savvy to create a unique environment for healing. I was referred to him by a renowned urologist who told me that Adam is the best pelvic floor PT in New York. No kidding! What an experience this has been. Everything about Adam bespeaks of a rare and extremely talented therapist. He works out of a gym; the office reflects his orientation. The space is an alternative to hospital or clinical medical based PT. You feel more like an injured athlete than an injured patient. During the process, he treats you like a partner, relying on your feedback to alter and fine tune his approach, and gives you tools and exercises to take with you between sessions and after treatment ends. He works both from a deep base of scientific knowledge and exquisite interpersonal skills that individualize the treatment. I entered work with him with fairly significant discomfort and symptoms that interfered with my life. After several months, I began to feel significantly less pain, more capacity to control the symptoms, and able to use his tools on my own to sustain my progress.

When my chronic pelvic pain progressively worsened, I thought all hope was lost. I was anxiously searching online to find a "cure" since doctors couldn't help. The mixed experiences people had with this condition left me more confused and devastated than ever. I stumbled upon a post on a forum recommending Adam at Symbio who has healed many people with pelvic pain. I took a leap of faith and begin my healing journey with him... Adam is incredibly skillful with his hands. He educated me that my symptoms were mainly due to tight pelvic floor muscles. My long-term habit of clenching my butt and locking my jaw created muscle tension that was not released properly. When he did internal massage to release my trigger points, he was gentle with the pressure yet precise and effective. I found great relief after each session with him. Moreover, Adam spent the first few sessions truly getting to know me (my family dynamic, social circle, cultural values, etc). It was therapeutic that he showed genuine interests in my personal stories and unique life experiences. As a former sufferer of pelvic pain himself, Adam demonstrates high levels of patience, compassion, and empathy - traits that health care professionals require to treat patients. If you are experiencing unexplained symptoms in your pelvic area and have been told by doctors that "your urinalysis is negative" or "the pain is all in your head," you need to look elsewhere for recovery. Your best chance of healing is to visit a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. The stigma towards male chronic pain is still well and alive out there. The only way to address it is to be vocal and proactive about it. Take the driver's seat and steer your health to the direction you want. From my experience, I highly recommend Adam who will do whatever he can to accompany you through the journey. Having chronic pelvic pain is by no means a death sentence. You don't have to (and not going to) live like this for the rest of your life. You will get better!

I have been suffering on and off with chronic pelvic floor pain for over twenty years. It has at times been diagnosed as non-bacterial prostatitis, but no urologist has ever been able to help relieve the pain I've experienced over the years, and I've been to many. Luckily, my current urologist prescribed physical therapy and I have had the incredible good fortune of meeting Dr. Adam Gvili, and now I honestly can't imagine life without him. He is kind, caring, and compassionate, and most importantly, as someone who has experienced chronic pelvic floor pain himself, he LISTENS, and UNDERSTANDS. Through a combination of breathing and stretching exercises, and external massage and internal pelvic floor work, my symptoms have greatly improved. Adam is incredibly skillful with his hands, and the internal work he does to release my trigger points, along with exercises and external muscle work, has had lasting effects that have helped to improve sexual function and urinary flow. Finding him has truly been life-changing. If you are suffering with pelvic pain, or have any other ailments or injuries that require PT, get to Adam as soon as possible. He truly is a God-send.

I write this review with pleasure! For starters, Dr. Gvili will say to call him Adam, but this man did more for me than any doctor or specialist I have ever met. I came to him with a 19 year history of excruciating on/off low back pain. I've missed countless events, as well been through different bouts of depression due to the pain. Dr. Gvili lead with education and was there to teach me about my body. I used to fear movement and an active lifestyle because I thought it would lead to my pain. Little did I know, it was the inactivity that was further causing my pain. He treated me as an individual and took a whole body approach. The best part is I only saw him for 9 sessions before he "discharged me". Thanks a million! Anyone who is in your care is truly fortunate.

With experience in optimizing human movement and wellness, Dr. Gvili takes a whole-body approach to treatment and pelvic floor physical therapy.

Dr. Gvili, as a physical therapist focuses on client centered care so that those who seek him can receive the highest quality service available. Dr. Gvili has devoted his career to Men’s Health & Wellness and specializes in all things pelvic floor so that men are able to seek help, ask questions and be treated in a comfortable and judge free environment. Dr. Gvili started treating men with pelvic pain and pelvic floor symptoms after he was unable to seek treatment himself. Dr. Gvili’s strength lies in his ability to empathize and understand his patients both from a physiological and psychological standpoint. “Understanding what the patient is going through is that much easier when you have been through it yourself”

Dr. Gvili’s goal is to change the “taboo” behind talking about pelvic pain in men, so that men can feel comfortable to get treatment and therapy no matter what the issue. Currently, the approach to treating Male Pelvic Pain isn’t as effective as it could be. An individualistic and tailored approach must be taken to combat this issue. The only way to do that is to provide a platform for these men so that they can get the care they deserve and educate them on how Pelvic Floor Therapy can help improve their symptoms.

The Pelvic Floor is the layer of muscles that support the bottom of the pelvic area.

The pelvic floor supports the internal organs of the pelvic region.
It also assist with bowel and/or bladder as well as sexual function.

The pelvic floor is made up of muscles that form a sling from your coccyx to your pubic bone.

When these muscles become overactive/underactive it can result in pain, sexual dysfunction, bowel insufficiency and urinary/fecal incontinence. Pelvic Floor dysfunction and pain can be caused by a wide variety of reasons and it is important to take an individualistic approach during treatment and planning for your pelvic floor physical therapy.

The medical practitioners in our facility are experts at evaluating and treating the multifaceted condition that is a Pelvic Floor Dysfunction through Pelvic Floor Therapy.

Men's Health & Wellness:

We found that when males were being treated by female physical therapists, there is always a disconnect when explaining symptoms and trigger points because females cannot relate. So we decided to treat MALE PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION as a MALE so that they could relate to our pain and normalize pelvic floor muscles issues and provide the best program for physical therapy. Here are the most common pelvic floor issues that we have successfully treated:

Prostatitis/CPPS
BPE/BPH
Post-Prostatectomy
Incontinence/Painful Urination
Sexual Dysfunction (Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation)
Chronic Prostatitis
Interstitial Cystitis
Orchialgia/Testalgia
Peyronie’s Disease
Penile Pain
Anorectal Pain
Pudendal Nerve Entrapment
Post Vasectomy Pain
Epididymitis
Gastrointestinal & Bowel Disorders
Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD)

Orthopedic Physical Therapy:

We could list every joint pain and muscular diagnosis but our goal is to make you a more efficient mover without pain and discomfort after your therapy. With that being said, teaching you how to use your body as a vessel for maximum performance will always be our #1 priority.

“Male pelvic health, especially those with pelvic pain, is poorly researched and poorly understood. Getting a medical provider to understand what you are feeling was an obstacle in and of itself. I was being told
IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD, but I knew it wasn’t”

How long does a pelvic floor physical therapy session last?

The treatment plan for pelvic pain in men is designed to be a one-one 45 minute session geared towards each person’s individual needs. We will design a specific treatment plan of care for pelvic floor therapy geared towards each patient’s expected outcome as planned by our in-house physical therapists.

How many sessions are required for pelvic floor physical therapy?

There is no magic number of sessions that equal a successful prognosis. There are those that feel better in a few sessions and those that get better in many sessions of pelvic floor physical therapy. Our goal is to get you better as fast as possible because we know how much this matters to you.

Do I need a referral from my physician for my physical therapy appointment?
