Who We Are

Health & Wellness Physical Therapy is a boutique physical therapy clinic focusing on cutting-edge physical therapy treatments. It was established to offer patients with chronic pain and medical illnesses customized physical therapy and alternative pain management services. Our comprehensive approach seeks to address the underlying issues rather than simply treating a condition's symptoms. Our one-on-one treatment setting allows us to treat each and every one of our patients holistically with the focus on the whole body approach.

Our Philosophy 

We believe in taking a biodynamic approach to physical therapy. We recognize that each patient is unique, with their own individual needs and goals. That's why we take the time to listen to our patients and develop customized treatment plans that address the root cause of their condition.

Our Approach

Our licensed therapists are some of the best in the state of New Jersey, and use a range of manual therapies and exercise techniques to help patients achieve their health and wellness goals.

We believe in taking a hands-on approach to treatment, working with our patients to develop strength, flexibility, and mobility while reducing pain and discomfort, and all treatment is delivered in a one-on-on environment. From manual lymph drainage to medical massage and osteopathic manipulations, we combine the most effective methods to provide you with a holistic approach to your health!
