As the summer ended, we all, as parents, went through our yearly ritual of getting our kids reading for the upcoming school year.  As I picked them up after the first day of school, I found myself staring at all these kids, many of which already had loads of books, with bad back pack form.  I just shook my head, as I just knew that back pain was just around the corner.  Despite their potential problems, backpacks are great when used properly.  Before you buy one, though, consider a backpack’s construction. 

Get Rid Of Dizziness With Physical Therapy

by

Dealing with dizziness and vertigo symptoms can definitely be challenging.  When undergoing Physical Therapy for these symptoms, the path to better living can be filled with ups and downs.  And, as I tell all my dizziness and vertigo patients, you have to keep up the work even after you’re discharged, as they can come back when you least expect it!  But even if the symptoms return, you can always get right back into Physical Therapy to quickly rid your life of pesky dizziness and vertigo problems.

Your Chair Is Killing You!

by

You’re injuring yourself at work — daily. But I have an office job, you think; my workplace is altogether too safe. Actually, that’s the problem. Sitting at a desk all day, and the repetitive motions that accompany that sitting, cause microtrauma in our bodies. New studies are beginning to reveal that extended periods of sitting and sedentary behavior have a significant
negative effect on our well-being — and an even greater impact on our overall health than our diets.

Independent Again With Physical Therapy

by

When Physical Therapy patients come into our clinic, one of our main goals is to help patients get back that feeling of independence.  With each Physical Therapy visit, every patient starts to take little steps toward feeling like they’re getting back to normal, getting back to their every day routine.  And who doesn’t like a little bit of normal?

Taking Time In Physical Therapy

by

Have I really made sure that my patient has all of their questions answered?  Do they feel secure about this visit?  These are questions that I’m always asking myself when my patients are progressing through their Physical Therapy visits. 

And this is exactly why we, as a group of Physical Therapists, have made it our company culture over the past 13 years to make sure that we take our time with our patients, and that all their needs are met during each and every visit. 

The Trick To Using The AlterG For Knee Pain

by

When knee pain strikes as a result of running, the most common step that is taken when starting Physical Therapy is to first stop running altogether.  As with any injury, when you find out what activity is causing the pain to occur, you have to minimize your exposure to the pain-causing activity while treating so you can get pain levels down, as per the 3 Phases of Healing that Dr. Asha also uses for her sciatica and back pain Physical Therapy patients.  But with the AlterG Treadmill,  if you know how to use it correctly, you can be much more efficient by using one trick.

Success Using Physical Therapy With A Smile

by

Before every Physical Therapy appointment in Elizabeth or Jersey City starts, just that simple “Hi, how are you?” with a smile has worked wonders with our patients and their outlook on how today’s appointment is going to progress.  What’s even more rewarding is that our patients are appreciative of the effort and are taking that positive attitude back out into their daily lives!

The Best Knee Pain Tool In Physical Therapy

As a Physical Therapist, there are many exercise and manual therapy tools that I have at my disposal, and as Physical Therapist that specializes in running, I have almost 2 decades of hands on Physical Therapy experience with runners and athletes of all shapes and sizes.  But for the last 3 years, I’ve been using a tool, the first ever in both Elizabeth and Jersey City for Physical Therapy patients, that has made my process so much more streamlined and efficient for knee pain
