The best Physical Therapy place in Somerset, New Jersey. Initially I was skeptical on how I could be fixed with some therapy. I had serious pain in my right knee out of no where and I couldn’t even walk straight. Doctor prescribed few medicines for the pain but due to my weak liver, I couldn’t... take these medicines. After 8 weeks of therapy, I am completely healed with no pain and I am able to walk straight again. Thanks to the entire team at Physical Therapy. Special thanks to Yasmin and Kevin. Kevin’s hands works like magic. He is very knowledgeable and helped me greatly in getting me cured of my knee problem.read more
Joshua F.
Kevin and his staff were great. I’ve attended PT at other places and none provided the care and insight that Kevin did. I appreciated Kevin’s willingness to talk me through each step of my recovery post surgery. I would highly recommend.
Josie B.
Liz and her team are the best! I had surgery on both my right and left wrist, plus removal of a ganglion on my right ring finger, as well as surgery on my right elbow for ulner decompression. Liz conducted a very thorough evaluation and determined I would require treatment 3 times a week. I... never had a problem scheduling appointments at my convenience. With the help of the staff there I made significant progress in my recovery. My time there proved not only helpful but enjoyable. I highly recommend them! Josie Barton-Carusoread more
Jocelyn A.
Yas and Bri were absolutely amazing for my 8yr old princess who broke her elbow in July and was prescribed PT starting end of august. Kaiya grew confidence and strength in her arm again very quickly. With Bri’s motherly instincts of nurturing and Yas’ sweet but direct approach combination,... professional PT really helped to distract my girl through her plethora of moods dealing with her sever injury to quick recovery. Within 6wks she was fully cleared by her orthopedic to start back with gymnastics and cheer! We kept working 2x a week to build full mobility and 6wks later she was cleared with full mobility and strength! If we are ever in need of PT again, we will absolutely be back!read more

Kevin and Danielle do a great job making people feel comfortable and welcomed the moment you walk in. They helped me immensely with the strengthening of my back and in educating me on what I need to do to ward off a sciatica issue that I have. I recommend them highly.
