Do I need a prescription for Physical Therapy?

New Jersey has direct access for Physical Therapy services. This means that you do not require a prescription to begin treatment. Documentation can be sent to other health care practitioners (your primary care physician, urologist, gynecologist, etc) as needed.

What are your Covid-19 precautions?

I provide services to high-risk and vulnerable populations and it is important to keep all clients safe.

I am fully vaccinated and received my most current booster dose in October 2023. I received the Moderna vaccine.

All surfaces and equipment are cleaned with germicidal wipes in between clients. Towels and sheets are always individual use items and are laundered between uses.
