In both of our Somerset and Piscataway offices, you will find skilled, licensed professionals who share a common goal – to relieve pain and dysfunction… and have your life returned to normalcy as soon as possible. Also you will receive care from the same therapist throughout the course of treatment. Many of our therapies involve “hands on” techniques – gentle manipulations designed to break apart restrictions in your connective tissues and joints, induce muscle relaxation and restore your freedom of movement. We combine these manual techniques with other forms of treatment, including ultrasound, moist heat, electrical stimulation, and individually prescribed exercise programs. We provide therapies for a variety of conditions and situations - from injuries caused by fractures and sprains to chronic pain syndrome and tempromandibular joint (TMJ) problems. We work closely with physicians, dentists and podiatrists...

We work closely with physicians, dentists and podiatrists to determine the reasons for the pain, discomfort or dysfunction, and we keep in close contact with them during the treatment process by providing timely reports on the patients’ progress. We have a special interest in treating headaches, neck pain, back pain and joint replacements...

The most common complaints that people have when they come to our office involve headaches, neck and back pain, pinched nerve, gait and balance disorders. For example, 95% of all headaches are caused by tension, and one common cause of low back pain is from inefficient sitting and working postures and an imbalance of the abdominal and back muscles. Most important, we know the types of therapies which work best to alleviate your pain, and can prescribe ways to help you avoid pain and injury in the future. The fees for our services are covered by most major insurance carriers...
We will be happy to submit the bills and forms to your insurance company for direct payment. About our holistic approach to physical therapy...

Many clients have told us that our therapies did more than alleviate their pain. Our holistic approach to physical therapy will help you feel better – both physically and mentally. We educate you on how to avoid pain by being aware, for example, of the body’s need for relaxation and exercise. While our therapists are trained to help you alleviate specific pain, they are also skilled in teaching you to stay well by taking control of your life and health. What uniquely distinguishes us…
• 30 plus years of friendly, flexible, and functional goal oriented physical therapy services.
• Personal attention, pleasant and personalized quality 1-on-1 care.
• Customized and consistently compassionate caring manual hands on care for all aches and pain in the body causing inability to move and function in your daily life including balance and difficulty walking
• Our specialty is that we achieve full functional recovery in a short time frame for all shoulder surgery, hip and knee joint replacements. We restore balance and ability to walk in all geriatric patients over 65 with gait and neurological disorders. \

How to get started and what to expect…

Though a prescription is not required for a physical therapy evaluation, it may be needed to process a claim from an insurance company. If you or your loved ones need physical therapy, please go see your family doctor and ask for a prescription for physical therapy. Kindly give us a call at either (732) 873 – 0875 or (732) 752 – 8870 and we will take care of your pain and get you up and moving in no time. At your first visit, you will be evaluated for your complaints and diagnosis as ordered by your doctor. We will set up a treatment plan of care initially for 2 – 3 times a week for 4 weeks and monitor your progress. You will be re-evaluated at end of 30 days by the therapist or your doctor to see if you need continued treatment, any special tests, or any further special intervention. The majority of patients are treated for 1 – 2 months depending on the severity of their symptoms. Upon completion of physical therapy, you will be discharged on a home exercise program which needs to be done to prevent reoccurrence of symptoms and stay pain free and functionally independent.

Incorporating a teaspoon of honey before bed into your routine can offer numerous health benefits. Honey helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can prevent spikes or crashes that might disrupt your sleep. It also promotes the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. A deep, restorative sleep leads to waking up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day.

Not only does honey promote better sleep, but it also helps with fatigue relief. For those who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, honey’s natural compounds can help your body relax and recover overnight. This small, natural remedy is an easy way to improve your sleep quality without relying on sleep aids or medications.

Make this healthy habit part of your nightly routine and notice the difference in your sleep quality and overall mood. It’s a simple yet powerful way to boost your well-being. 🍯😴🌙

A balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals supports your body’s daily functions and long-term health. Vitamin C, found in amla, guava, and citrus fruits, boosts immunity and fights free radicals. Vitamin D from eggs, fish, and mushrooms helps your bones absorb calcium, keeping them strong and healthy. Calcium itself, present in milk and leafy greens, builds bones and teeth.

Iron from lentils, spinach, and peas ensures oxygen reaches all body parts, helping energy and brain function. Zinc supports immune health and wound healing, coming from nuts, pumpkin seeds, and oysters. Magnesium, found in nuts, oats, and bananas, aids muscle and nerve function. Eating a variety of these foods keeps your body well-nourished and energized. 🍊🥚

When I picked up How It Feels to Find Yourself by Meera Lee Patel, I was in a season of transition. I felt unmoored, unsure of who I was or where I was headed. From the very first page, Patel’s words felt like a warm embrace, gently guiding me back to myself. This book is a treasure trove of wisdom, filled with gems that sparkle with truth and tenderness. It’s not just a book to read—it’s an experience to savor, a journey to embark on.

One of the first gems I discovered was Patel’s reminder that “finding yourself is not a destination, but a continuous process.” This was a revelation for me. I had always thought of self-discovery as something you achieve, a finish line to cross. But Patel reframes it as an ongoing journey, one that ebbs and flows with the seasons of life. This perspective brought me so much relief. It allowed me to release the pressure of having everything figured out and instead embrace the beauty of becoming.

Another gem that resonated deeply was the idea of “listening to the whispers of your heart.” Patel writes, “Your heart knows what your mind has yet to understand.” This line stopped me in my tracks. I realized how often I had ignored my intuition, dismissing it as illogical or impractical. But Patel’s words encouraged me to trust those quiet nudges, to honor the wisdom of my inner voice. Since reading this, I’ve started paying closer attention to my instincts, and it’s amazing how much clarity they bring.

The book is filled with reflective prompts and exercises that invite you to engage deeply with its themes. One of my favorite prompts was, “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” This question pushed me to confront the fears that had been holding me back—fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of the unknown.

Patel’s exploration of self-compassion was another highlight for me. She writes,🥹 “Be gentle with yourself. You are doing the best you can with what you have.” This simple statement brought tears to my eyes. I had been so hard on myself, criticizing every misstep and doubting my worth. But Patel’s words reminded me to treat myself with the same kindness and understanding I would offer a dear friend. This shift in perspective has been transformative, helping me approach my struggles with greater patience and grace.

How It Feels to Find Yourself is a book I will return to again and again. It’s a gentle, compassionate guide for anyone navigating life’s changes and seeking to live with purpose, clarity, and heart. Meera Lee Patel’s words are like a lighthouse, guiding you back to yourself when you feel lost. If you’re looking for a book that will inspire, comfort, and empower you, this is it. It’s a true gem, and I’m so grateful to have found it.☺

There are some people
that are so worthy of admiration,
not because of their appearance
or their status but because of
their resilience.

They have experienced things
that other people would never
even have to bear witness to.
They have weathered the hardiest
Winters and still shine like the sun.

They call on their worst experiences
to advice and guide others
from out of the dark.
Their patience knows no bounds
and they are happy to walk beside
others to guide them through the storm.

When you're around these people
you feel safe and seen.
They know when you're struggling
without you needing to utter a word,
and their presence alone is uplifting.

Cherish these people for they are
the ones who have saved themselves,
and make it their mission to save others.
They are the light we need when the
world feels dark.
They are the inspiration that we are
all seeking ..
