AN IMPORTANT PART OF THERAPY
Before beginning the therapy program, patients get an easy-to-understand explanation of the evaluation and therapy process and how their program helps with injury or pain.
Each patient’s program is based on three key elements: our evaluation; the doctor’s/therapist’s recommendations; and the patient’s needs/goals. As the patient progresses, his day-to-day treatment protocol is continually adjusted, as is the at-home therapy program.
Pain Relieving Modalities
The center uses a variety of the latest pain relief techniques such as manual mobilization, electrical stimulation, ultra sound, traction and iontophoresis.
Exercise Machines
Strengthening equipment and popular cardiovascular devices help the team match patient needs and abilities with recovery goals. The center incorporates equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, stairsteppers, upper and lower body bicycles and devices for balance and proprioceptive training.
Therapy Should Be Fun
The center provides educational charts, fitness and nutrition magazines, television and relaxing music to enhance the rehabilitation experience.
“Using the best tools is essential” says Carmine. “But the interpersonal component, positive reinforcement and constant encouragement, is equally important. We want our patients to enjoy their rehabilitation experience and get well at the same time. Patients are like our extended family. Many even become friends and keep in touch.”

I had surgery for a torn ACL in May of this year and was given high recommendations to see Carmine for physical therapy. I couldn’t be happier that I followed those recommendations. Since the beginning of my PT sessions, Carmine and his team have tailored my rehab around how my knee was recovering, encouraging me to listen to how my body was responding to exercises and not pushing harder than what my knee was willing to handle. That philosophy has led to great progress 3 months post-surgery. In addition to the confidence I have in Carmine’s practice, the culture he has built at his office is second to none. It is an incredibly friendly environment - Carmine and his team truly care about the folks they are helping recover from injury. Perhaps you shouldn’t enjoy PT as much as I have, but Carmine and his team make sessions something to look forward to and I have been grateful for that. I would highly recommend Carmine to anyone looking for a PT - you won’t be disappointed.

August 24, 2022Carmine is a wizard! The real deal with years of experience. I came in with a laminectomy.,a back surgery and waited a bit longer than I should have. He quickly knew my issue and proposed a treatment plan, facilitated by him and his very able associates.The atmosphere is calm and friendly and help is always available. Carmine is affable and deeply cares for his patients. I was very fortunate to have found him. I feel a hundred times better in a relatively short time. Run to him,( but take it easy), 🙂 He’s the best!

March 10, 2023I have been seeing Dr. Carmine for about a month for my back pain. When I say I haven’t felt this great since before my accident that is not an understatement. He has worked wonders so far in under a month. I highly recommend coming here if your having any sort of pain. I can’t lie to you, the work you put in outside of the office is crucial. You have to be consistent to see progress. Overall 10/10 experience

Carmine and his awesome staffed have quite literally brought me back to life! They took the time to figure out what was right for me and proceeded accordingly — pushing when they needed to and letting me progress on my own pace (which I wanted to be fast all the time!). If you’re and athlete looking to be pushed so that you can bounce back ASAP - this is your place. Although, the care is tailored for every person I see come in …. It’s a super friendly and encouraging environment. I’m so thankful they came so highly recommended!

April 22, 2023I had a bad knee injury playing soccer this year. Two days after getting surgery I was in Carmine's office for my first PT session. Carmine literally helped me get back on my feet. I stopped feeling significant pain after 2 weeks and was able to walk without crutches. He has educated me on what I need to do on a daily basis to get back to playing my sport again. He has as much experience as I've been alive. Go to him if you want someone serious about your recovery.

October 5, 2022Not all PT is created equal I would highly recommend Carmine for your PT, especially if you are an athlete or even just an active person. I originally went to PT at a different place closer to my home after surgery for my ACL, and while they helped me with my recovery, I didn’t get fully back to 100%, as I had expected/hoped. I decided to try PT again, and went to Carmine based on the recommendation from my surgeon. Carmine took the time to make sure I understood the process, length of time it would take, and what my expectations should be for that recovery. He understood my goals and made sure we had a plan to get me back to 100%. He catered my treatment plan to my personality, goals and abilities. Carmine and his staff definitely had a focus on excellent customer service. I’m so thankful I went back to PT and tried a new place! Thank you, Carmine, Jackson & Asia!!
