Laurie B.
Recently had an injury to my wrist and had to go for physical therapy. I chose this place because I had gone there before and was very happy. I find all of the therapists there to be very good. They are caring, and thorough in their therapy plan. Laura worked with me on my wrist injury and I am... feeling so much better. She gave me all the appropriate exercises to do, monitored me to see how I was doing, and made adjustments and added exercises as needed. I truly felt like I got the best care I could have gotten here and highly recommend it to all. Thank you for helping me!Don’t want to forget all the assistants that work there as well. They are so kind and ready to help you with all the gear you need to complete your treatment.read more

My Physical Therapists Mike & Frank are excellent they explain everything and answer my questions. The site is clean and spacious and everyone is so nice. I’m sure they are going to get me back on feet and heal my fractures in no time.

Amazing staff. Have been to this location for multiple issues and each time received great care. The therapist Frank Isola spent time identifying the source of my problem and working on different areas to provide relief. Frank is very determined and persistent to cure his patients!From the moment... you walk in the door you are greeted by the most friendly and kind person Ruby.The student assistants are also great. Brittany was super helpful and very attentive while I was doing my exercises.I highly recommend Prof PT in Rutherford!read more
Deborah K.
I had Lauren as my therapist for degenerative neck disease with pins and needles going down my left arm and was desperate. She did a thorough consultation, started me on exercises, deep massage and eventually traction. I would highly recommend her because she goes above and beyond with her... professionalism , and most importantly a positive outlook on my condition. She has such compassion which helped me immensely. Thank you Lauren!!read more
Lesvia M.
Since the first day I started my therapy treatment, I was treated with respect and care. Frank Isola was my therapist. He took the time to teach me exercises that I can do at home and continue my recovery. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent care l've received at your... therapy center.This is the second time I have undergone treatment here for my back, and once again, the experience has been outstanding. From the front desk to the therapists, every member of the staff is professional, kind, and truly concerned about the well-being of the patients.I want to especially thank Frank for his dedication to my recovery. He has been incredibly flexible with scheduling my appointments and always takes the time to offer helpful recommendations for exercises I can do at home. His commitment and support have made a meaningful difference in my healing process.The environment at the center is warm and welcoming, and I always feel at home. I would recommend this place with my eyes. Thank you!read more
Carolyn G.
The team is AMAZING! Personable, funny, dedicated, and highly skilled. In ONE WEEK I went from likely canceling a dream vacation because I was in pain and walking was too difficult (sprained ACL) to I'm getting on that plane this Saturday! I'm so very grateful to Professional PT, especially Joe &... Frank this time and Mike last time I needed help. Don't hesitate... let this gang help you. My delay made my ACL issue so much worse.read more
Sadet B.
An outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire team at Professional PT is very welcoming, and truly dedicated to helping patients heal — especially physical therapist Lauren, who was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and supportive. She took the time to create a personalized plan... that really worked. I noticed real progress and felt cared for every step of the way. Highly recommend!read more
Peter O.
No one ever plans to need physical therapy, but if you do, this is the place to go. Everyone is super friendly and upbeat—it really makes a difference. PT isn’t just effective; it’s actually a place you enjoy going to. The staff creates such a welcoming vibe that each visit feels more like catching... up with friends than a medical appointment. You might even forget about your injury while chatting with the team and other patients about sports, local spots, movies, music, or whatever else comes up.Lauren helped me rehab after my right shoulder surgery in 2023, and she was amazing. So when my left shoulder started acting up and my doctor said I could probably avoid surgery with the right PT, I didn’t think twice—I came right back. After a quick catch-up, Lauren set up a 12-week plan, and sure enough, I "graduated" on schedule. No surgery, and I left with a solid routine to (hopefully) keep me from needing PT again.Over the years, I’ve also worked with Frank, Mike, and Joe when my schedule didn’t line up with Lauren’s, and they’re all just as great—super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and always make you feel taken care of. Easy five start rating!read more
Belinda W.
I thought I was stuck with a “dodgy”knee . Not here ! Thanks to the skill and care of Frank. ( and Mike who got me started) . The whole team create a great atmosphere of calm and care. Thank you for making my knee better ( and I learnt the importance of strength along the way)
R B.
This is my first time here at this place. I did pick it because I came here for a nerve test on my hand. I had carpal tunnel surgery and this has been very difficult for me however. Lauren made me feel very comfortable and is very knowledgeable and has made a hard situation easier for me. I knew it... was a good choice picking this place after I was there for my nerve test. Highly recommendedI know it is their job to help people but my expectations were not so high and they exceeded my expectationsread more
Leah M.
I absolutely had a positive experience and great time at professional pt in Rutherford! After I tore my acl for the second time they made a bad experience into a positive one! I would look forward to coming to pt and working out which I never thought I would say. Mike, Joe, Lauren and Frank are all... great physical therapists and genuinely I wish them the best!read more

Great experience so far!This physical therapy office has such a welcoming, positive, approachable energy—everyone is so nice, helpful, warm, and friendly. You never feel lost or intimidated, which makes a huge difference when going through therapy.What really sets them apart is how hands-on and... attentive they are.

You always feel supported and guided, which really helps with progress.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring team that truly wants to see you get better!read more

Mike and the rest of the staff were incredible. Very professional, knowledgeable and personable. The facility was clean and had plenty of space and equipment for every patient. 10/10 would recommend to a friend
Keith L.
I have to say I am very thankful for the progress I have made under the direction of this location. The individual who primarily works with me is Lauren and her series of Interventions has improved my condition (lower back/sciatica) and enabled me to enjoy a recent vacation I was worried about.... Additionally, I have begun to feel more comfortable performing daily and athletic activities utilizing the treatment plan she has me on. She develops a gradual, yet proactive series of exercises that lead to progression on a comfortable pace. Additionally, my schedule has me there at times when Lauren is not present, and each of the physical therapists who have stepped in have done an equally impressive job helping me progress. Thanks Professional Physical Therapy.read more
Lori H.
I have been going to Professional Physical therapy for several weeks now and I am feeling a lot better. My primary physical therapist is Frank, but I’ve also been treated by Mike and Joe who also provide excellent care. Everyone is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely... interested in helping you feel better.The aides are also great, especially Brittany, who is so attentive and always manages to anticipate which equipment I will need before I even ask. Ruby and Suzanne at the front desk are friendly, welcoming, and so helpful. Overall, my experience has been very positive and I’m so grateful to have such a great office so near to my home.read more

I rehabbed an injury here at Professional Physical Therapy for about 5 months. I started with a lot of pain and discomfort and by the time I was done I was back to new. The facility is great and the physical therapists here are top notch. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I worked a lot... with Frank who knew exactly how to treat the injury and I am very happy with the results. I also worked with Mike, Lauren and Joe who are excellent as well.
