Ken envisioned the opening of a New Jersey based practice that would set the standard for providing high quality physical therapy care.

Hands-On Physical Therapy added FREE pre-operative education classes for total knee and hip replacements in 2005. This class was offered to the community because of documented research. The study stated that better outcomes are obtained if the patient knows all aspects of their rehab prior to their surgery. This class is rehab based and not what a typical hospital provides. We care that you achieve your maximum potential and it's FREE. Call to schedule this class about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery.

Hands-On Physical Therapy does not look to grow quickly, like corporate chains do, which results in inferior inexperienced care with high employee turnover. We look forward to grow with our clients and add quality equipment, space, and locations
