I came to Professional Physical Therapy Clinic in Freehold, NJ with a pinched nerve in my lower back with several bulging discs and the development of consistent back spasms that were triggered randomly throughout the day . I had injured myself moving furniture in my home, after lying in the bed... for 6 weeks and seeing a chiropractor for 1 week, my injury was to severe for any relief from the constant lower back pain. Upon going to a pain management doctor and receiving an MIR, I immediately search for a reputable physical therapy clinic where I could receive proper treatment for my injury. Finding Professional Physical Therapy through google with their 5 star reviews, I was sold. I was contacted the next morning , an appointment was set for the following morning. Meeting the physical therapist Mr. Rovy Samson in just the first 2 visits my back spasms were reduced to minimal occurrence, within 2 weeks of treatment I had movement in my lower back without pain. Within 5 weeks of treatment, total mobility was restored to my lower back without discomfort or pain. I too did all the exercises Mr. Samson told me to do 2 to 3 times a day, on the days I didn’t go to physical therapy. I’m back to doing all the activities that I love to do. I can never thank Mr. Samson and staff enough for restoring me to my former self.read more

I went to professional PT in Freehold for tension in my neck that was leading to pain and headaches for a long time. I saw Christina for about 2 months and had great results. My pain and headaches are significantly reduced and Christina gave me a plan to continue to manage it at home. Christina is... an excellent PT - she really listens to you and your concerns and has a holistic approach to helping your condition. You can tell that she cares about her patients. I am so glad I had Christina as my PT, because of her I had a great experience and am feeling much better.read more

I have come here after a few surgeries. The staff has always been thorough and professional. I feel I received excellent care and advice. In addition, there is a small town atmosphere. The patients either already know each other or make a bond quickly. They become supportive of each other’s... progress. Mostly in part due to Laura. She is always kind really is concerned about the welfare of her patients. I have been treated by some of the other therapists as well and have gotten the same caring treatment. You guys are the best! ❤️read more

Clinical Interest
Physical Therapy
I treat endurance athletes (runners and triathletes) that have lower and upper extremity imbalances through the use of SFMA, FMS and with running gait analyses.
I also treat male and female patients with weakness in the pelvic floor through external techniques, relaxation and deep breathing techniques.
Bio
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences and Psychology at Fordham University and soon after, earned a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from New York Institute of Technology. I have been working with Professional Physical Therapy since 2017 starting at the Brooklyn Heights location, working closely with physicians from Mount Sinai, NYU, Columbia, NYP and HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery) and local running teams. I am currently working in Red Bank and Freehold, and determined to develop connections with local physicians and local running programs.
I completed courses from Herman and Wallace Pelvic Floor and Phoenix Core Solutions to broaden my treatment capability, as women’s health is not discussed enough. Furthermore, I use Neurokinetic therapy to help muscles that are underactive and overactive to ensure the brain reprograms the correct way to achieve patient goals.
I enjoy working with professional and competitive athletes, as well as the elderly and youth. I focus on injury rehabilitation and wellness to allow my patients return to exercise, sport, and life. As a former NCAA Division I cross country and track athlete, I continue to remain competitive and train regularly. I am a 70.3 Ironman World’s Qualifier, eight time USAT Olympic Distance Nationals qualifier, completed the Dopey Challenge in Disney World, competed in NYC marathons, and soon will be running the Boston Marathon.
Lastly, I continue to expand my knowledge through continuing education to enhance my manual and orthopedic skills and I continue to contribute to the education of future physical therapists as a clinical instructor for PT students.
