Blake Ducos, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Education
- Doctoral Degree, Physical Therapy, Rutgers University
Clinical Interest
Bio
My name is Blake Ducos and I am a graduate of the Rutgers Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program. My goal as a physical therapist is not only to alleviate pain and restore function, but to enable people to truly move and live better. I studied health and exercise science at The College of New Jersey prior to obtaining my doctorate and throughout my life I have dabbled in various forms of exercise including power lifting and body building, endurance training, group fitness training, and obstacle courses. I have been practicing as a physical therapist since 2020 and use an exercise focused approach to address individual strength and mobility deficits for each patient. I have treated a multitude of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions including low back pain, nerve impingements, sacroiliac dysfunction, lateral epicondylitis, and various other tendinopathies. I also enjoy treating post operative patients in both the home and outpatient settings such as join replacements, ACL reconstruction, and rotator cuff repair. Outside of physical therapy I am most likely at the gym, forcing my wife to watch yet another superhero movie for the umpteenth time, or enjoying a homecooked meal with family and friends.

Clinical Interest
Bio
I received my graduate and undergraduate degrees from Quinnipiac University, graduating with my MOT in 2024. Hand therapy is the setting of OT that I have wanted to pursue since high school after shadowing several OTs my senior year. Throughout college, I worked as an aide for 3 years in the outpatient setting where I was able to see a variety of treatment approaches and styles from the therapists that I worked with. As a student, I completed a level II fieldwork with Professional Physical therapy and began treating with the company as a therapist shortly after passing my board exam. I have enjoyed treating patients of a range of ages from elementary school to 95 years old.
Outside of work, I enjoy time outdoors hiking and running on trails, paddleboarding, reading, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.
