About Graphene PT

After 8+ years of experience practicing in high volume PT offices, Ann Chen (Owner/PT) saw the need to achieve better outcomes for her patients to help them reach their ideal level of physical function. With this mission in mind, Graphene Physical Therapy was founded. We specialize in orthopedic injuries and conditions that are hindering your physical function and quality of life.​

Our Team

Ann Chen, PT

Founder, Graphene Physical Therapy

“As a former competitive figure skater and lifelong athlete, I’ve always been passionate about movement and the joy of an active lifestyle. However, my own journey took a turn when I faced multiple ankle injuries, eventually leading to a complete ligament rupture. Faced with the choice of surgery or doing nothing, I chose the latter, only to develop pain in my knee and hip years later. This experience ignited my desire to help others find conservative solutions to their injuries.

I pursued my education at McGill University, majoring in neuroscience, before completing my physical therapy training at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. After becoming licensed in Ontario, I gained invaluable experience in a busy private practice before moving to New York City, where I worked in a high-volume clinic in Soho for nearly five years. During this time, I realized that I could not provide the quality of care I believed in, as I was only able to spend a brief amount of time with each patient.

Driven by a vision to transform the physical therapy experience, I opened Graphene Physical Therapy in March 2023. My practice is dedicated to offering private sessions where each patient receives my undivided attention for the entire session. This personalized approach has led to remarkable improvements in recovery times and long-term outcomes for my patients.

At Graphene Physical Therapy, my mission is to empower active individuals to overcome their injuries and regain their quality of life through tailored, attentive care.”

Awesome experience! Met Ann at the Brooklyn boulders for a free consultation for my hyperextension and she gave great advice! 10/10 recommend!
I had a consultation with Ann from Graphene PT for my knee which had been bothering me for quite a while. I wasn’t sure how to describe the feeling in my knee but after a quick few tests she immediately knew and was able to pin point the issue. Ann gave me a few at home exercises to help alleviate the discomfort, and the next day my knee felt much better. I’ve been continuing the exercises and they’ve been helping in the following days since my consultation. I certainly will recommend Graphene if you are looking for PT.
The expertise and personal level of care at Graphene really stands out. Unlike PT chains where each PT is working with 2-3 patients at once, the care here is really one on one and rehab plans are personalized.

I would highly recommend Ann. I’ve worked through two injuries with her and leave feeling stronger and more knowledgeable about how to rehab and prevent future injuries.
I have been working with Graphene Physical Therapy since 2023. Ann is an amazingly thoughtful physical therapist and truly spends the time working with her patients to get to the underlying root of the issue. Ann also takes the time to ask questions and listens to her patients, so she can share an understanding with her patients about the “how” and “why” different issues can manifest in the body. This shared knowledge between Ann and the patient is super helpful to know as a patient, and really highlights that Ann always makes sure to adjust the treatment, based on her ongoing work with the patient, as well as the patient’s input. Her holistic approach allows her to effectively treat and evaluate her patients. I highly recommend anyone who needs physical therapy to work with Ann and Graphene Physical Therapy.
Great consultation, super helpful and friendly!
I highly recommend Ann and Graphene Physical Therapy! While I’ve had physical therapy in the past, my experience here has been exceptional. Ann’s expertise and ability to customize a treatment plan have been instrumental in helping me recover from my back issues. The one-on-one sessions make a huge difference, as I feel heard and supported. The exercises are specifically tailored to my needs, ensuring I’m making progress at my own pace.
Ann is very good at what she does! I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a physical therapist! Thank you!
Ann was a pro from the get go, she was also relaxed and easy to work with. She identified my problem and gave me exercises, which got a little more intense each time we met. She not only helped me get my arm 100% back in shape to work out, she talked to me about what exercises to avoid in the future so I did not damage my arm again. If health is as important to you as it is to me Ann is the PT professional for you.
I highly recommend Graphene PT for anyone in need of physical therapy, especially for sports-related injuries. I began treating with Ann, the owner and lead physical therapist, after injuring my shoulder skiing. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in good hands.

Ann’s expertise, combined with her personalized approach, made a significant difference in my recovery. She took the time to understand my specific injury and tailored a treatment plan that helped me regain strength and mobility. Her dedication, professionalism, and clear communication were exceptional throughout the process.
Total transformation and improvement of my body!
