Bio

Dr. Nick Licameli has been a licensed physical therapist in the state of NJ for the past 8 years.  He graduated summa cum laude from Ramapo College of New Jersey with his bachelor’s degree in biology, then furthered his education by completing his doctoral degree in physical therapy from Rutgers School of Biomedical and Health Sciences (previously the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey).  Recently, Dr. Licameli was named clinical director and partner of Professional Physical Therapy's new Totowa location.  He considers it an honor to serve the Totowa community and immerse himself in its culture.

Dr. Licameli presents at national and international professional conferences, is an internationally recognized authority on blood flow restriction training, writes for numerous health and fitness publications, is a regular guest on health and fitness podcasts, and is an expert on telehealth and its implementation into an evidence-based healthcare system. He is also an author of peer-reviewed research and a passionate educator.

Dr. Licameli is first and foremost a husband to his high school sweetheart, Carly, and a father to two beautiful daughters, Ava and Nina.  Nick believes in giving himself to others and strives to be an impactful and positive resource from which his younger self would have benefitted and of which his older self would be proud.

The foundation for Nick's patient care is his passion for learning, dedication to family and community, and commitment to improving quality of life and inspiring healthy living.  Dr. Licameli empathizes with his patients' situations, validates their concerns, and tailors his treatment plan to the individual's specific goals; whether the goal is carrying a pot of spaghetti for Sunday dinner, walking the dog through the park (or Garrett Mountain! ), or even resuming professional sports.  He discusses treatment options with his patients and, together as a team, determines a patient-centered evidence-based treatment plan.

If you are in the area, feel free to stop in for some coffee and refreshments and enjoy the historical photos that line the walls of the office as a tribute to a community with a rich history.  See you there!
