I had a wonderful experience at Professional PT! Susan was my physical therapist for the majority of my treatment, and I also had several therapy sessions with Anthony. They were both excellent and provided me with personalized attention, compassionate care, and the support I needed throughout my... therapy journey.Susan and Anthony took the time to help me understand my diagnosis, treatment plan, and the goals we were working toward in therapy. Their knowledge, professionalism, encouragement, and ability to help reduce my pain made a meaningful difference in my progress. They listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident during each visit.I would also like to give special recognition to Hazel at the front desk. She was extremely helpful, kind, welcoming, and always willing to assist whenever I needed anything. Hazel made the scheduling and check-in process easy and pleasant. All of the other staff members were wonderful as well—everyone was friendly, helpful, professional, and made me feel welcomed and comfortable during every visit.Accessing care and scheduling appointments was easy and convenient. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the facility was clean, professional, and well maintained. The combination of excellent therapy, personalized attention, and such a friendly and supportive staff made every visit a positive experience. I am very grateful for the exceptional care I received from Susan, Anthony, Hazel, and the entire Professional PT team. I would highly recommend Professional PT to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, friendly, and professional physical therapy care!read more

I have been in physical therapy numerous times. I’ve always given up because the physical therapist usually shows you the “routine” twice and then expects you to do the exercises on your own.Not at Professional Physical Therapy. Brianna Esteves exemplifies what a physical therapist should be.... She’s patient, kind and thorough.She performs the exercises herself to show you how to do them and then watches you to make sure they are being done correctly. If not, she makes adjustments. No day is the same.She works on the issue that you may be having by using different techniques. She mixes it up and I really appreciate that. I’ve seen significant improvement.This has been my first positive pt experience. I’m so glad that I picked Professional Physical Therapy in Millburn and that I was paired with Brianna. In my opinion, she is the best!read more

Briana is an absolute miracle worker and I cannot recommend her enough! I came in dealing with persistent pain in my shoulder that was limiting my daily life, and her targeted approach completely turned things around. From my very first session, she made me feel completely comfortable and truly... listened to my concerns. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and designs sessions that are challenging but rewarding. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I’ve made amazing progress and feel so much better. Now I can finally go back to playing pickleball with ease and confidence! She didn’t just treat my symptoms, she found the root cause of my rotator cuff pain and she taught me how to prevent future issues. She’s professional, highly skilled, and always brings a positive energy to every session. 10/5 stars if I could!. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who genuinely cares about your recovery, go see Briana!read more

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Mike as my physical therapist. After my elbow surgery, he was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and flexible with scheduling—always making the process as smooth as possible. His approach was both professional and personalized, which made a... big difference in my recovery.A few weeks into my treatment, my son began seeing Mike as well after an injury. Mike was amazing with him. As a former athlete himself, he really connected with my son, which helped build trust and motivation. They worked hard together, and with Mike’s guidance, my son was able to return to playing again—stronger and more confident.Mike truly goes above and beyond for his patients, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of physical therapy.read more

I was referred to Professional Physical Therapy by my orthopedist, and after trying a few other places, I finally found the right fit with Kristian who is one of the physical therapists there. I’ve been going for several months, and I can confidently say he’s one of the best physical therapists... I’ve ever had. From the start, he was great at adapting exercises to fit my abilities, especially early on when I was still working on regaining strength. Even in the modified form, I started to feel better after just a few sessions.This location is by far the best physical therapy office I’ve visited. The office itself is in a very convenient location, and their hours are incredibly accommodating, even offering Saturday sessions for those of us with busy work schedules. I highly recommend Kristian and this clinic if you’re looking for quality, personalized care.read more
Dalia M.
The Millburn professional PT team is spectacular! The therapists are knowledgeable and hard driving, the staff are friendly and know who you are from day 1, and the assistants are funny and keep you smiling while you’re dealing with difficult recovery. Working with Anthony on my ACL reconstruction... recovery has been nothing short of exceptionally positive—his knowledge, focused attention, and pushing me makes me look forward to PT and my progress is notable: surgeon was beyond impressed at my recent follow up. Though I have nine months of work to do here, I’ll be sad when I’m discharged.read more
Liz G.
I've had two rounds of PT at the Millburn location this year for issues with my knee arthritis. Anthony & Glen have both been great for me--helpful, knowledgeable and patient.

Everyone at the front desk and the PT aides are also friendly and helpful.read more

Rachel R.
I have had the best experience with all the staff. I’ve been coming to this clinic on/off for the same injury and finally had surgery to fix the problem. The PT sessions while I was recovering were instrumental in my progress. In particular, Anthony Walsh was wonderful to work with and made sure I... knew what exercises to do at home and how they would help my recovery. He also made sure to check in at different intervals with my doctor to assess timeline of progress. Would highly recommend him to other patients.read more

Scott T.
I have had more than a dozen different orthopedic surgeries over the course of 30 years and spent probably half my life in physical therapy. The team At Professional PT in Millburn are without a doubt the friendliest, hardest working, and most knowledgeable therapists I have ever worked with. ... Sean has made it his personal mission to get my shoulder back to 100% following back-to-back surgeries over the last 6 months. Thanks to Sean, Dom, and the rest of the team, I’m absolutely certain I will hit my recovery goals and be golfing and swimming again by April. Would definitely recommend to anyone.read more
Craig R.
I’m rehabbing my “other” knee following a TKR 3.5 months after my first. My primary physio has been Amy Walsh, who is terrific. She is the perfect blend of a PT who appropriately pushes me, listens to me, adjusts the exercises to meet me where I am in my rehab and is just an all-‘round good person.... On the occasions when Amy hasn’t been around, each of the other physios I’ve worked with (Kristian, Dominic, Sean) have also been superb, and they are all in synch with their approach to rehab. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Tori (Victoria) who is always around as a PT assistant to help out when needed, and also the front desk staff, who keep everything running on schedule. I highly recommend Professional PT for anyone in need of PT support following surgery.read more
Lily B.
I feel so comfortable here. I have been coming here at my podiatrist's recommendation for the last month. Nicole and the rest of the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and they really care about what they do. My ankle has really improved since I started physical therapy here. I know that my... care is in good hands.read more

Physical therapists in this location are GREAT- they are experienced and they know. I am transferred from another location nearby and I am very happy about it- I really should have moved to this location much sooner.

Having worked with Jackie Baldini for at least three different PT needs over the past several years, PPT has been one of my most satisfying healthcare patient experiences ever. She is very knowledgeable and is dedicated to delivering the newest PT technology and thinking to her patients—a... consummate professional. As clinical director of the Millburn office, she and her outstanding colleagues work extremely well together and have created a great culture of caring and quality health care within an excellent PT services delivery model.read more
Melinda Z.
I have come to PPT various days, hours and physical therapist. I find your location and environment welcoming. So far I have not have any real negative vibes. But there are a few I would put on top of the list for excellence (professional, engaging with patient, attentive and notice the real need... of injuries). That would be Nicole, Brian, Matthew and the young assistant that work on Saturdays (oh and someone I think name Lauren. I had her once but she was great at her job!!!read more
Sandra K.
Welcoming positive environment. Hands-on care. Brian B. is an excellent PT clinician who helps you understand your issues related to proper mechanics.
Jesse H.
Jackie was terrific. She was always incredibly thorough and not rushed but somehow managed to have me fully work my shoulder and stay on time. And she went way above and beyond sending me emails with the home exercises. No doubt it is because of her that I am back on the tennis court and golf... course so quicklyread more
Sally B.
Jackie was always helpful and pleasant. She would adjust the exercises each week as needed. highly recommend.
jUDITH K.
This is my second experience with PPT. Each time I was treated by Brian he is an amazing physical therapist . The first time was for a fractured knee cap. It was excruciating until Brian started to work with me. He worked a miracle. Now it is perfect. I have no residual pain . The second time I... came was for a broken femur for which I had a rod put into my femur. I thought I would never get back to normal. I think I was wrong. While we are still working on it, my improvement to date has been nothing but remarkable. I have very hope that soon I will be pain free and back to my normal activities.Thank you Brianread more
Gregory T.
I'm a 8 year returning patient of Jaclyn Baldini.She Is by far the best therapist that Professional physical therapy can ever have.She is so good at what she does. I thank God for her each and every day.
Jenna Feltey A.
I could not have had a better experience with Professional PT! I saw miracle worker/guardian angel Jaclyn Baldini for about 4 months, going once a week, to deal with chronic hip and lower back pain. The first time I met with Jackie she spent a long time just asking questions and listening, before... theorizing that my hip area had gotten out of whack due to core weakness after the birth of my second (giant) baby. For months she taught me targeted exercises and also helped me establish a realistic at-home routine after I went back to work full time as a teacher.Jackie is the *consummate professional* and is clearly adored by all of her patients. She is incredibly smart and intuitive. She treats her patients with great respect, explaining every aspect of their treatment in detail so they can feel knowledgeable and empowered. She’s kind and empathic but also no-nonsense. She’ll chat if that’s your vibe but also knows how to create quiet space for healing. I genuinely looked forward to seeing her each week because of her warm, good humor and healing touch.I’m relieved to say that she cured me of chronic pain I had resigned myself to living with for the indefinite future. And while I worked exclusively with Jackie for the time I went to Professional PT, I also had a lovely experience in the office as a whole, where all of the staff are friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.read more

This is my second time using Professional Physical Therapy. The therapists and staf are friendly and knowledgable and sow caring for thei patients. I have mostly seen Jackie, but I have occaisionally worked with others. I will go back without hestitation as I need help,a nd I have recommended... them to a number of people already.read more

This is a terrific place. I worked mostly with one of the therapists but occasionally made use of others. They are knowledgeable, consistent, and really give personalized attention.
Neil B.
Very professional. Amy is the BEST!
Mitchell W.
Professional physical therapy is very well organized. For example when your own PT is off that day, the sub PT is made aware of your current therapy program. My personal PT Lauren is awesome, striving to get me to finish line with my recovery. Even the assistant PTs like Carl, and the rest always... consider every patients needs. Bravo PROFESSIONAL PT!read more
Larry S.
I just finished my second course of PT at PPT for different issues. If I'm unlucky enough to need a third I'll be glad to go there again.

This is a great place to seek help. There is a caring staff ready to assist your needs!
Francine C.
The office itself is highly organized and responsive to questions. All of the therapists were excellent, but I worked the most with Amy Walsh. She was great; she created a home study program for me that has been most helpful.
Donna Y.
My experience with Professional Physical Therapy has been fantastic since I have been going there. A few people told me that pt was gonna be hard and painful. This is far from the truth. The workers are all very professional, nice and they care about you. My therapist Jaclyn is very attentive,... kind and makes sure I am comfortable with the exercises that she sees fit for me. Jaclyn has also made sure that I continue with therapy on the days that I don't have to go in, she emailed me the exercises to do at home. I am going to recommend Professional Physical Therapy to everyone I know that has to go to therapy.read more
Rabbi Dennis T.
Great locationWonderful staffThey have helped me in the past and are great to work withHave been using Amy for a long time,Wonderful woman and great caring Therapist
Barbara S.
I have found them to be meticulous in their adherence to safety issues regarding COVID-19, and the two therapists I’ve had, Lauren and Kevin, have been great to work with. They answer any questions knowledgeably and are gentle but thorough in massaging and stretching my muscles in order to get the... progress I desire. I had previously had therapy in the River Edge location following hip replacement surgery two years ago, and was so pleased with their services that I looked for another location near me now that I have moved. I have not been disappointed and would highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy to anyone needing them.read more

My interest in physical therapy began after sustaining shoulder and elbow injuries while playing baseball in high school. Through my own rehabilitation experience, I discovered the impact physical therapy can have on reducing pain, restoring function, and helping individuals return to the activities they love through movement and exercise.

My clinical interests include sports rehabilitation, working with overhead athletes (baseball, football), runners, and active individuals looking to improve performance and return to the activities they enjoy. I also have a strong interest in post-operative rehabilitation, including rotator cuff repairs, ACL reconstructions, meniscus procedures, and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). I enjoy helping patients navigate the recovery process, rebuild strength and confidence, and safely return to their desired level of activity.

Whether working with competitive athletes, weekend warriors, or individuals recovering from surgery, my goal is to provide individualized, evidence-based care that helps patients move better, get stronger, and return to doing what they love.

I chose a career in Physical Therapy from my curiosity and passion for human anatomy and rehabilitation. Growing up as a dancer, I knew movement meant everything. Understanding how to move and the importance it holds in your daily life drives how I provide treatment. I strive to provide patient-centered care to get patients doing what they need and love to do, all while having a little fun along the way! When I am not in the clinic, you can find me searching for the best coffee in town.

Bio

Driven by personal experience, I chose a career in physical therapy after being born with bilateral clubfeet — a condition that required multiple casts and three surgeries during my early life. Growing up, I saw firsthand the impact that dedicated healthcare professionals can have on someone’s recovery and overall quality of life. Now, I’m committed to giving back by helping others heal, move better, and return to the activities they love. My goal is to support and empower people through their recovery journeys, just as others once did for me.
