Advanced Physical Therapy of SJ

  • Do I need a physician prescription?

    In most instances, a physician's prescription is not necessary. New Jersey is a direct access state, which allows patients to receive treatment without a doctor's referral. However, there may be some exceptions to this rule.
  • My doctor wants me to use their physical therapist who is located inside their office, but can I go to Advanced Physical Therapy of SJ?

    Absolutely. You have the freedom to choose your physical therapy provider. Your doctor cannot mandate that you use their affiliated physical therapist. You are entitled to select any therapy group that accepts your insurance coverage.
  • What types of issues do we most frequently treat?

    Our practice commonly addresses a range of conditions including post-operative rehabilitation for knee and hip replacements, rotator cuff injuries and repairs, spinal fusion recovery, mobility challenges, general weakness, and balance disorders.
  • My doctor wants me to stop treatment, but I think I need more therapy. Can I continue?

    We recommend discussing your concerns with your therapist. If you are showing progress and have attainable goals, it may be appropriate to continue treatment. Your therapist can provide professional guidance on the best course of action for your specific situation.
