I am very proud to announce that I am gearing up to run my first marathon, the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon!
After spending a long, 17+ year career in Physical Therapy training runners, I’m ready to go and try my hand at running a marathon myself! As I go through the whole process of training for this, my very first race, I will be documenting my progress weekly.
As the holidays get closer and the coming of a new year fast approaches, I always become reflective about everything that we’ve achieved over the current year.
In Jesus’ case, he was unable to work for months after sustaining two patellar tendon ruptures, requiring major surgery to both knees. Out of work and unable to walk without assistance, he came in to our clinic looking to get back to good health so that he can get back to his life. After Physical Therapy with us, I’m happy to report that he now has his life back and is ready to get back to it. He is truly a shining of example that with our team and hard work, you can be on your feet in no time!
Happy National Physical Therapy Month! Every year for a whole month, we join thousands of other fellow Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy clinics in highlighting and celebrating our profession and its’ impact on health and wellness.
This year, we’ll be joining the APTA in highlighting the importance of Physical Therapy in the fight against opioid addiction.
It cannot be said enough that our greatest reward comes from seeing our Elizabeth & Jersey City Physical Therapy patients reach their goals to improve their quality of life using Physical Therapy.
The icing on the cake has been coming from our patients that have been spreading the word lately on the internet by sharing their amazing recovery stories.
Working with Van over the last few months in Physical Therapy in our Jersey City clinic has been nothing short of amazing. An avid cyclist and Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Van came to us for Physical Therapy after an ACL injury that required reconstruction surgery. Van was confident in my ability to help him recover both safely and quickly so that he could return to the BJJ competition mats, where he has distinguished himself in national tournaments on a number of occasions.
So to celebrate, we’re taking National Running Day and turning it into a month long celebration in the clinic! Every workday, we’ll be posting video on our Instagram of a staff member that’s “getting their run on” in the office. Even though we’re stuck in our office, that’s no reason to not be able to get in a run!
All month long we will be highlighting the benefits of fitness, & how participation in sports can help with your overall fitness and quality of life. Follow us on our Instagram as we’ll be putting up some great material all month long on exercising, staying fit, and leading a healthier, more active lifestyle!
We are very proud to announce that the Jersey City clinic is now certified in the innovative LSVT BIG method for Parkinson’s disease treatment, the first clinic to do so in all of Hudson County.
Operating in downtown Jersey City since 2007, they were previously the first to offer specialized dizziness/vertigo programs and more recently, in 2014, they became the first outpatient clinic in Hudson County to offer the revolutionary AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill for athletic training and PT.
Surgery in general can be a very emotional experience. And to have major surgery, that’s just as emotional as it comes. So I and my partners know that it’s important to make sure that the patient is not only physically getting better, but that they are doing well emotionally as well.
We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for someone who became a part of our family. Congratulations to Jackie!! (Tip: When you watch the video below, you might want to have a tissue handy.)
