New year, new start, new possibilities. That’s how I look at running my first half marathon this March, the 2017 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. This is the biggest challenge that I’ve undertaken in quite a while, one that I am more than excited to tackle. I’ve spent 17 years training runners for these races, and it feels good to take on the task of running one myself.
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.
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.

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.
Russell came to us after a snowboarding accident left him with severe back pain, with nerve pain radiating down through his legs. The condition left him unable to continue with his daily life normally, including participating in sports, sitting for long periods of time,
Now, we’re happy to report that he can continue with skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and ultimate frisbee with minimal discomfort. In addition, he’s able to sleep, stand, and work with little to no problems! Congratulations, Russell!
It all boils down to the same thing: as a patient, you need to do your due diligence when picking your Physical Therapy provider. But how do you do that? Especially when you have a number of parties trying to tell you what to do?
After an extremely mild early winter/Christmas season, it appears that winter is fully set to arrive on Saturday, as the NYC/NJ area will have our first snowstorm of the season.
If you keep these tips in mind, hopefully you’ll be able to prevent extensive back problems from snow removal.
