It’s always good to know when you are in good hands because that’s how I feel each and every time I go to the professional physical therapy in Elwood Park, New Jersey.

Marivic N.
I was there for treatment for low back pain. I requested of course my daughter Janica to be my therapist . I may sound bias, but she is knowledgeable of my case. The staff are friendly. The facility is clean. This place is well recommended !
rhondagf
I went to Professional Physical Therapy for treatment of plantar fasciitis, and I had a great experience. Janica was my primary PT, and she did an excellent job — very patient, understanding, and genuinely concerned about my recovery. Because of my schedule, there were times I couldn’t book with... Janica, so I worked with Tom or Sal instead, and they were just as great! I highly recommend this place and their team!read more
Larry M
I tore my Achilles in July ‘25 and have now completed the therapy. The PTs were top notch - knowledgeable, caring and accommodating. I had many questions during my sessions they were always answered with patience and encouragement — highly recommended!
Linda
recently had a knee replacement and was fortunate to have Professional PT’s Janica and Tom provide my home therapy. From the very first visit, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They worked with me patiently, loosening up my knee and helping me regain movement and... confidence step by step.Both Janica and Tom explained everything clearly and always encouraged me without pushing too hard. They tailored the exercises to my needs and progress, which made the recovery process so much smoother. Their kindness and dedication really stood out — they made what could have been a difficult recovery feel manageable and even uplifting.I can’t thank them enough for their excellent care. I would highly recommend Janica and Tom to anyone in need of physical therapy at home.read more
Joe D.
Sal and Tom are exceptional therapists. They know just what I needed to get back to full strength. Both extremely personal and professional.
Angelique M.
The staff at Professional Therapy in Elmwood Park is exceptional. Dr. Kaynak is nothing short of a miracle worker! I went there after left knee replacement, so sure that I would never get better. Tom knows his profession so well and is passionate about using his vast knowledge to help people. He... knew exactly what to do to help me get better. He’s serious and firm about doing the job he has to do for his patients, but so kind and caring in his treatment at the same time. Although I’m sure I was just another patient in his long history of helping people, I felt seen and cared for as an individual and that meant so much. Dr. Kaynak has assembled an amazing staff to work along with him. Each and every person working there (Sal, Summer, Lorena, Dan and Jan) is equally as competent, kind and considerate. The staff made my journey, although very painful at times, quite enjoyable. I looked forward to my sessions and miss going there since my therapy ended. I challenge anyone to find a better place for PT!! This facility checks all the boxes. 😊read more
Gabriela B.
Great staff and clinic! New and clean. Dr.Tom is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff! Truly cares about his patients! Highly recommend!
Mary M.
Excellent place for physical therapy- Tom and the staff are amazing- helpful and caring. I have recommended this group when they were i Saddlebrook. My friends and neighbors have used this group and were very pleased.
Pat R.
Excellent patient service. Lorena is efficient, professional and courteous. The therapists are involved, patient, and take time with each patient providing customized care in a professional and caring manner. Love that you clean up and disinfect each equipment after every patient.
Dr J
I had an accident and sustained a fracture of the proximal humerus (shoulder) which required surgical repair. After surgery, I was not able to move my arm away from the side of my body. Since I had always been been an active person and enjoyed weightlifting, I thought life as I knew it would be... over. I was told that the healing process would take a long time and require PT to regain strength and range of motion. I had bad experiences with physical therapists in the past so I was not very hopeful. Tom Kaynak and Jake Grootenboer changed my mind. They listened to my frustrations, fears, complaints and answered all my questions. They're very knowledgeable and caring. I believe their hands on joint mobilization was an invaluable part of my recovery, along with the exercises they prescribed...Bottom line, I'm very pleased with my treatment and results.Highly recommended!read more
Gwendolyn S.

Tom and Sal are very thorough while explaining proper ways to recover. They’ve helped me and have given huge relief after being injured for almost 2 weeks. It was a great experience overall!
Jean O.
The name of this establishment says it all! I had spine surgery and part of my healing was to have P.T. I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous and scared because I didn’t want to do anything to jeopardize my recovery. Well, those feelings were quickly put to rest. Every therapist @ Professional P.T.... was outstanding! Tom the director was so helpful & hands on which immediately put my fears to rest. I also have to give a shout out to Jake as well for his knowledge, patience and just true caring for me & my situation. I am forever grateful for all they did for me & I am feeling like a champ! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all so much!Jean Oviedoread more

Maria K.
I would highly recommend this practice in Saddle Brook, NJ!I had rotator cuff surgery in November 2023. The recovery was difficult and very painful. I started my physical therapy in January 2024. Jake Grootenboer was my PT and he was amazing! I was in a lot of pain, and with Jake’s guidance,... slowly I started to see some progress. He is a great PT, he is very knowledgeable and explains everything in plain language. Besides the surgery, I also had a frozen shoulder that complicated things a little bit. However, in less than 5 months my orthopedic surgeon was very pleased with the results! I really liked going there, the front desk, PT aids and everybody were very nice and friendly.Thank you Jake and Professional PT!read more

I have been working with Jake Grootenboer for about two months now for PT on my right knee due to a torn meniscus. When I started with Jake I couldn’t even get my foot into a sneaker without pain and now I’m significantly better! Could not have gotten to where I am at without him!
