Easily accessible from Route 22, 28, 206, 202 and major highways. Ample parking (Handicap Accessible) On your drive home from work, you hear a strange noise coming from the hood of your car. “Oh, no,” you think. “I have to get that taken care of right away,” and promptly call a mechanic as soon as you arrive home. Good decision, as you don’t want to get stuck some- where and want to operate a safe vehi- cle. If only we made the same good choices when we experience pain in our body. Prolonged pain is an abnormal condition with numerous consequences. It is letting you know that something is wrong in our body and needs you to respond with some help. But all too often we put off taking care of ourselves not knowing that the real cure for pain man- agement is to strengthen the area that is weakened, use the state of the art tech- nology available, quality products, and learn the corrective exercises toward feel- ing better. We must remember that when we take care of ourselves, we are taking care of our whole family. Feeling better is what happens at Good Hands Physical Therapy in Bridgewater, NJ. We give people the right therapy for a pain free productive life returning flexibility and strength for healthy living. What sets us apart is our expertise in evaluation, diagnosis, a com- prehensive treatment plan for pain and Unique equipment to treat the pain. My passion of restoring health and my inter- est in treating complex and chronic pain is why Good Hands Physical Therapy was opened. Patients, either involved in actively doing their prescribed exercises, receiving treatment, or using the equip- ment will often compliment me about the positive upbeat atmosphere at Good Hands . One of the unique treatments we spe- cialize in is Myofascial Release (MFR), a highly specialized stretching technique that is safe and quite effective. The hands on approach requires a wide range of MFR techniques and movement therapies requiring gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restric- tions, relieving tension, eliminating pain, and restoring motion. My patients have found MFR to be an enormous help in their recovery. At Good Hands we assess the body for myofascial restrictions. MFR is also beneficial for dental injuries such as Temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ) and all chronic pain (years of pain). Beginning at age 30, most of us lose about 1 percent of muscle each year. The loss of muscle, often causes weight gain and more injuries than we are used to. Although we can’t stop the aging process, we can do a lot to take care of ourselves. The real fountain of youth is learning the tools of preventative mainte- nance giving you pain free life with good endurance, strength and stamina. In my 23 years of experience in work- ing as a physical therapist for world class hospitals within New York and New Jer- sey and professionally managing numer- ous cases, I have been gifted with the opportunity to see the enormous bene- fits of just how powerful physical therapy is to change lives. My quest to continue learning, and to be able to bring more knowledge and resources to my patients has led me to participate in innovative seminars and workshops enabling me to see the advantages of mulligan mobiliza- tion techniques, Kinesio Taping and many more. We accept all insurances or nomi- nal cash fees. A prescription is not required with the exception of Medicare. Medicare requires no money out of your pocket.
