After experiencing a shoulder injury in August of 2022, I sought medical attention. My MRI presented several non surgical tears and PT was recommended. The best choice I made was seeing Dr. Pat. Dr. Pat honed down on the injury and isolated movements that caused pain. From there he gave me a plan to strengthen the shoulder and regain range of motion. As an archer, being able to draw a bow was a high priority and a challenge. Dr. Pat customized workouts to build through the discomfort and regain my abilities. Having a clinician take the time to hear your goals, and work towards restoring your quality of life is beyond refreshing. I’m grateful for Dr. Pats work to make me stronger then I was before the injury.

After many experiences with PTs, I have to say the level of expertise and understanding far surpassed any previous experience. My case was addressed individually and my treatment plan developed for my needs. In the end, I am walking away stronger and more productive in my day to day. I am also back swimming and strengthening. Thank you Patrick and Movement Headquarters!!!

I can't say enough great things about Movement Headquarters in Northport! Movement Headquarters is hands down the best physical therapy office in Northport. My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Patrick and John, and they've been absolute game-changers for us. My husband had an Achilles rupture and their expertise, guidance, and support throughout his recovery were truly exceptional. They not only helped him regain strength and mobility but also provided the encouragement he needed to stay motivated. On a personal note, during my pregnancy, I struggled with sciatica, and they helped me throughout my pregnancy as well as post partum. Core strengthening became a priority for me post partum. Patrick and John were there every step of the way. Their tailored approach and commitment to my well-being made all the difference in my journey to recovery and postpartum strength. Their knowledge, dedication, and genuine care for their patients set Movement Headquarters apart. We're grateful for the positive impact they've had on our lives. If you're seeking top-notch physical therapy, look no further! Thank you, Patrick and John, for your exceptional work

I have been to several pt businesses and Movement Headquarters is by far the best. The care that I receive is personalized to my needs and I always leave feeling like they care about my wellbeing. John has worked with me for quite some time and he always takes the time to listen to my concerns and adjust my program to meet my needs. Although I dont work with Patrick, I have observed him with his patients and he is excellent as well. Can't say enough good things about Movement Headquarters and the physical therapists that are there.

Dr. Pat is an awesome practitioner! When I came in 6 weeks ago, I could not even move my neck! With treatment, support, and guidance, I’m back to full range of motion. He’s very honest about the treatment protocol and always professional. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. Patrick Gathman. He is an excellent Physical Therapist. The first time I saw him he worked with me to relieve me of severe neck pain from an injury. When I had terrible Vertigo, he took the time to explain the type I had and why the maneuvers that he recommended would work. Vertigo is terrifying and he was kind, compassionate and expertly performed the maneuvers with me that cured the vertigo. I am now working with him to help me manage chronic back pain that I never thought would get better. When you see Dr. Gathman the entire session is devoted to you. He listens carefully. He clearly and patiently explains his diagnosis and recommendations. You feel much better when you are ready to leave and have hope for recovery. You leave with a personalized rehabilitation plan that includes videos you can understand and exercises you can manage. He has changed my life. He is the best

I went to see Dr. Pat prior to total knee replacement and after total knee replacement. His knowledge, commitment to his craft and his skills enabled me to successfully navigate the whole process. I was riding and swimming 2 months after TKR and playing tennis again at 4 months. He takes into account full body movement and focuses on the needs the patient to achieve the best results.

When I arrive at Movement I am always greeted with a positive attitude, no matter how I am feeling that day. Dr. Pat is professional and clean, light-hearted and fun, and gracious and attentive. He has mastered the fine art of pushing one’s body to move/work and nurturing one’s body to heal. I find him to be genuinely concerned for the health and well being of both me and my family. Dr. Pat and his staff construct each physical therapy or training session to fit the needs of the individual at that moment. Keen, attentive eyes will help you understand your body and give you a plan to meet your goals to be your best physical self. Dr. Pat is particularly adept at analyzing and then very quickly understanding the idiosyncrasies of an individual’s kinetics. The staff is knowledgeable and experienced with new technologies such as compression and electrotherapy. Full and undivided attention is given to the patient and the training exercises are varied and engaging. I have been to several other trainers and physical therapists over the years for various reasons and Movement far surpasses them all.

I have been working with the Movement Headquarters Physical Therapy team for several years now. I started working with Patrick when I was seeking low back pain relief for golf, tennis and skiing. The team has helped me through many other ailments like knee pain, rib pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, and neck pain. Staying active is a big part of my life and getting regular treatment whether it is physical therapy or sports massage/recovery/stretching allows me to do so. Movement Headquarters is the best physical therapy clinic in Northport/Huntington and I trust them with the care of myself and my family.

Fractured my right knee cap on Feb 20, 2023! Received rehab in rehab center for 1 month! Started receiving out-patient rehab at home for 8 weeks/18 sessions from Movement Headquarters PT! I was very impressed with their service - very motivating, professional, individualized, very caring, encouraging and knowledgeable! I am able to walk proficiently at the end of the 8 weeks therapy! Blessed to have Aileen who is so conscientious and helpful in working with me, My orthopedic surgeon was very satisfactory. with my progress when discharging me from his service!

Pat is fantastic. Highly skilled, compassionate, + uses inventive techniques for healing. I worked with him over 6 weeks on a hip injury. His practice is movement and fitness oriented, which was crucial for my goals and overall health. The first day I met with him he assessed my fitness goals, but also my daily sleep, nutrition and stress. A truly holistic approach to PT! I can’t recommend this practice enough. If you’re looking for a comprehensive, effortless approach to healing and care - look no further. Pat is your guy!

I absolutely enjoy working as Dr. Pat's intern. I received a lot of advice from each team member throughout my whole application process for PT school and was able to forge strong bonds and improve my overall skills. What I like most about this internship is how confidential it is. Each patient receives one-on-one care for an hour. In most chain-operated, insurance-supported clinics the physical therapist typically only works with patients for around 15 minutes before giving them over to the PT assistants, who monitors the exercises. What makes Movement Headquarters different is that each member seeks to establish stronger connections with each patient and understand them more on a deeper and personal level. Dr. Pat's concern for his patients is quite touching. He has a gift for inspiring and helping others. I truly admire and aspire to be that way in my future career

Couldn’t recommend Movement Headquarters more! Dr. Pat is extremely knowledgeable and works specifically with your needs to get you better. His visits are completely one on one and he works with your daily schedule to make a comprehensive plan of care that you can work on at home if needed. I loved having exercises fully explained on his app and tailored to the equipment I have at home so even if I can’t make it into his clinic, I could still stay on track to getting better. My pain has significantly decreased since I started my sessions with Dr. Pat! Movement headquarters is truly the best physical therapy clinic for high quality care!

Hands down the BEST PT anywhere! Dr. Pat is very attentive to your needs. He works only on you during your session unlike my PT's that give you heat or ice for a few minutes then some exercises to do while they move on to another patient. That does not happen with Dr. Pat! He is one-on-one with you the whole time. Extremely knowledgeable about injuries and conditions and treats you while explaining what's going on and how to maximize recovery. Can't say enough about how fantastic he is!!

I started Golf strength and fitness with Pat in May 2022. I feel so much stronger and have markedly increased my flexibility and mobility to bring to my golf game. Having a hip replacement in 2017 kept me fearful about strength training and pushing myself. He is very encouraging and challenges me to get stronger and reach the next level of mobility. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend Movement Headquarters. Beth Bertossi

I highly recommend Dr. Pat! Best PT I have been to. The sessions are one on one so all his attention is devoted to you! I came in with knee pain in both knees and after couple months I was able to workout and play tennis pain free! If you are looking for the best, look no further as Dr. Pat is the best! I cannot thank him enough for all he has done to help with my injuries!

If you could choose to do just one thing to better your health, it should be seeing Dr. Pat. He brought my hips/back back to life from a 5 year, ongoing sports injury. Not only does he personalize your plan, he provides accessibility to do your workouts at home using an app. Dr. Pat excels at his profession because of his well-rounded philosophy on exercise and health. His teaches you how to add simple health habits into your day without feeling overwhelmed. Yes Dr. Pat helped me with my injury at-hand, but he also helped me take my health back into my control. I am forever grateful for him and his service!

I can’t say enough great things about the Movement Headquarters Physical Therapy team! True physical therapy in its highest form, this place is truly hands on and one-on-one to get the results you want. The team is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, friendly, and professional. I could not be more grateful for their help with recovering from back surgery. My PT program has allowed me to gain strength and mobility and I no longer have constant pain and stiffness. They brought me back to my physical level I had prior to my back problems. It’s a great feeling to achieve the milestones set by the team. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an A+ physical therapy and performance training facility.

The best out there. Dr. Pat is amazing. He is extremely knowledgable and manages expectations. All his sessions are one on one and fully devoted to your care. He works with you to develop a plan (with at home exercises between sessions) to get you were you want to be, whether it be in rehabbing and injury or developing a training plan for specific fitness goals you may have in mind. I have worked with Dr. Pat for both recovery sessions (working through tight and sore muscles), as well as rehabbing a knee injury. I could not think of anyone else I would leave my care too. He kept me moving and was always quick with answering questions I had. He got me back and moving pain free. If you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing and cares about getting his patients back to doing what they love, then look no further, Dr. Pat is the absolute best! Couldn't thank him enough for everything he's done!

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Pat! After years of chronic lower back pain and injuries, I'm now stronger and more active than ever as a direct result of working with Dr. Pat. He is extremely knowledgeable and created a personalized plan focusing on the root issue of my back injuries, then methodically progressing from recovery to base building and finally strengthening my lower back and surrounding muscle groups. When I walked into his office I could barely bend down to tie my shoes, now I'm fully active and able to enjoy chasing my kids around completely PAIN FREE. I can confidently say, Dr. Pat is the best in the business and definitely make him your first stop for any physical therapy, injuries, or wellness needs!
