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.

Not all foods treat your stress the same way. 🍫☕️ Some trigger cortisol spikes that leave you wired and tired, while others help calm your nervous system and restore balance.

↘️Cortisol-Lowering → real, whole foods that support stable blood sugar + reduce inflammation
↗️Cortisol-Spiking → processed, sugary, and inflammatory foods that stress your adrenals

Sometimes the only thing you can really do is listen.

There are moments in life when words fall short — when no advice, no perfect phrase, can mend what’s been broken in another’s heart. And in those moments, the greatest act of love isn’t to fix, but simply to be there.

You can’t walk someone’s path for them. You can’t carry all their pain or undo what life has placed before them. But you can walk beside them. You can hold space for their silence, listen without judgment, and remind them — through your presence alone — that they are not alone.

Sometimes, that’s what healing looks like: two souls walking together through uncertainty, one holding the light while the other finds their footing. It’s the quiet compassion of showing up, again and again, even when there are no answers.

Because listening is more than hearing words — it’s hearing the heart beneath them. It’s standing in someone’s storm without trying to calm the thunder. And in that still, patient companionship, something sacred happens: the burden becomes lighter simply because it’s shared.

So when you can’t fix it, just listen.
When you can’t guide the way, just walk beside them.
That, in itself, is a gift of love. 🌿

What we eat can influence how we feel. Magnesium-rich greens, oats, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate help relax tense muscles. Chamomile tea brings a soft exhale, while fermented yogurt supports the gut—an important partner in mood balance. Ginger, cinnamon, and citrus add aroma that invites slower, deeper breathing.

A balanced plate with fiber, protein, and healthy fats keeps blood sugar steady, which often means fewer jitters. Try warm oatmeal with chia, cinnamon, and blueberries for breakfast, then leafy greens, beans, and avocado later in the day for calm, sustained energy.

Pair nourishing meals with lifestyle anchors: regular walks, sunlight, quality sleep, and gentle breathwork. Share your favorite calming snack so others can build a toolkit for tense moments. 🍫🌿

If you’ve been told to “just eat better and exercise”—but your blood sugar numbers won’t budge... If you’ve been on medication for it… or tried keto, supplements, or fasting — but still feel foggy, tired, or stuck in fat storage mode... Or even, if you’ve been diagnosed with predia...

There’s a beautiful truth in life that we often forget — no feeling is final.

The sadness that feels endless today will eventually soften into something gentler. The anger that burns inside you will cool, leaving behind lessons in patience and understanding. Even joy — radiant, powerful, fleeting — fades, but it always finds its way back in new and unexpected forms.

Everything moves. Everything changes.

Life, in its deepest wisdom, is a constant rhythm — rise and fall, expansion and contraction, holding on and letting go. But the real suffering begins when we resist this rhythm… when we try to cling to happiness or fight against pain.

The moment you stop resisting — when you allow yourself to simply feel without labeling emotions as good or bad — something magical happens.
You stop being controlled by your emotions, and instead, you begin to observe them.

This is what the Buddha meant when he spoke about impermanence — Anicca.
Every emotion, every thought, every breath arises, stays for a moment, and then passes away. Like clouds drifting across a vast sky, none of them define the sky itself.

So next time sadness visits, welcome it.
When anger knocks, listen to what it’s trying to say.
When joy dances in, celebrate it fully — knowing it too will pass, and that’s what makes it beautiful.

Because when you understand that no feeling is final, you become free.
Free to flow.
Free to heal.
Free to live. 🌸

✨ Moral: Don’t resist your emotions — let them move through you. They are just visitors. You are the home.
