At Denville Medical, your licensed physical therapist's goal is to maximize your body's structure and increase its overall function for long-term health. To accomplish this, our physical therapists combine traditional and innovative techniques focused on increasing muscle strength and improving the body's range of motion. Our goal is to discover the root cause of your pain or mobility problems. That way, we can address the true reason why you need physical therapy, and work towards achieving long-lasting relief.
Of course, we understand that every patient is different. Your doctor can provide expert care in an encouraging environment by creating a customized treatment plan for you using modern, evidence-based research.
Some common reasons why patients need physical therapy at Denville Medical include:
1.
Sports Injuries Whether you are on the varsity team of your high school football team or a professional athlete, sports injuries are serious business. Our doctors and physical therapists will develop a plan to help you heal properly, so you can get back in the game sooner rather than later.
2.
Pre and Post Operation With decades of combined experience, our physical therapy experts know that there is a time for gentle healing and a time for aggressive physical rehab. Whether you are scheduled for surgery or have recently been released from the hospital, our therapists are here to help you recover, one step at a time.
3.
Neurological Issues At Denville Medical, we treat much more than sports-based injuries. Whether you're suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, or a vestibular problem, our therapists are trained and certified to help you regain your body's optimal functionality.
Life has a habit of throwing us curveballs. Sure, some surprises only hurt your bank account, like expenses around the home. But more serious incidents, like car wrecks, can inflict physical injuries causing long-term pain. Injury-related problems like neck and back pain affect many Americans daily. Even worse, many hardworking people turn to addictive pain medication and invasive surgeries for relief, only to find themselves deeper in a hole.
If you're in chronic pain or suffer from range of motion problems, you should know that options are available for safer, more effective pain relief. One of the most commonly used solutions is physical therapy. The main goal of physical therapy is to maximize your body's mobility and increase overall function. In order to accomplish this, physical therapy techniques focus on improving range of motion and building muscle strength.
Physical therapy helps people of all ages with illnesses, medical conditions, or injuries that limit their mobility and body functionality. At Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center, our doctors and physical therapists create customized physical therapy programs to help patients reclaim their lives.
When combined with diet and exercise, many patients are able to enjoy activities that they only thought possible with youth.
Some of the most common techniques that physical therapists use to help patients include:
From improper ergonomics at your office desk to injuries sustained in car wrecks, neck pain is a widespread problem. Taking the proper preventative steps to deal with pain provides relief and can prevent the need for surgery or medication.
Generally, there are two kinds of neck pain: chronic and acute. Acute pain shouldn't last for more than six weeks, while chronic pain can last months or even years. Physical therapy is one of the most recommended treatments for neck pain. Treatments often involve reducing neck exercise, strength training, and stretching. If you're suffering from acute or chronic neck pain, it's important to have tests done by a physical therapist to determine the extent of your injury.
Neck pain is caused by a wide range of problems, like:
After identifying the underlying cause of your condition, your physical therapist will develop a comprehensive treatment to address your pain and provide long-term relief.
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in America. Back pain can start innocuously as a small muscle ache but can quickly become a more serious problem that disrupts daily life. Like neck pain, the best way to address the issue is to understand the root cause so that surgery is avoided.
Also like neck pain, back pain is either chronic (longer than six weeks) or acute (less than six weeks). Back pain can be caused by a number of events, like lifting a heavy item or simply sitting wrong for too long. To determine the extent of your injuries, you will need one or more diagnostic tests, like X-rays or MRI scans. Once the root cause of your condition is revealed, your physical therapist will work with Denville Medical doctors to create a treatment plan tailored to your body.
Common conditions linked to back pain include:
Experiencing a herniated disc is something most people dread, but many have to endure. Luckily, PT plays a significant role in herniated disc recovery. Physical therapy not only provides immediate pain relief, it teaches patients how to condition their bodies to avoid worse injuries.
At Denville Medical, our physical therapists and doctors have years of experience helping patients rehabilitate from herniated discs. Patients benefit from several time-tested techniques to relieve pain.
After diagnostic testing, active and passive treatments can include:
Do your hips feel uneven or misaligned? Do you suffer from hip stiffness or pain when the weather changes? Are you having trouble getting around the house like you used to? Your hips bear most of your weight, so it's no surprise that hip pain is very common among Americans.
Fortunately, physical therapy has been proven to provide relief for people dealing with acute or chronic hip pain. As with other forms of pain, you will need diagnostic testing to determine the extent of your hip problems.
Some common causes of hip pain include:
Once your hip issues are properly diagnosed, it's time to find relief. Denville Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center offers several custom solutions, including acupuncture, chiropractic care, and personalized physical therapy.
Like hip pain, knee pain is a common condition in the U.S. and affects millions of people every year. Pain in the knee is caused by many things, including strains, injuries, age, and repetitive trauma. Sometimes, there's no apparent reason for knee pain. When it occurs, you may experience limited knee functionality, like difficulty standing, walking, sitting, and walking up and down stairs.
There are many conditions associated with knee pain, including:
If you notice symptoms like clicking or popping sounds, locking, inflammation, or sharp pains in your knee, physical therapy might be your best bet for relief.
Sometimes, surgery is the only option a patient can choose to alleviate pain from injuries and accidents. When this is the case, physical therapy plays a vital role before and after surgery.
To help you get a better sense of the scope of our physical therapy treatments, we're listing some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive at Denville Medical:
Answer : While some physical therapists rely on outdated techniques to treat patients, our team uses a combination of tried-and-true methods and modern strategies, including:
Answer : During your first visit with our physical therapist, we will complete a series of tests and screenings to establish a baseline for your care. You can expect to complete stability screenings, strength tests, and computerized range of motion tests. These tests ensure your doctor understands how your muscles are functioning. Once complete, your therapist will create a custom treatment plan for your physical therapy, so we can move forward with your care. During your time at Denville Medical, you should expect adjustments to your treatment plan as you make progress.
Answer : We get this question a lot, and we can certainly understand why. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with an exact answer because every patient has different needs relating to their injuries and issues. Your level of stability and functionality depends on your condition, your goals, and your motivation to heal. For acute pain, patients typically experience relief in 2-3 weeks. Patients with forms of chronic pain usually feel optimal results after their first full course of therapy (4-6 weeks). Since our goal is to achieve maximum medical improvement, our doctors continuously monitor your progress and adjust treatment accordingly.
Whether you're dealing with chronic knee pain or acute back pain, relief is in sight. Rather than dangerous medicines and invasive surgeries, we specialize in non-surgical treatments like physical therapy. Our team of physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and primary care doctors have years of experience and work hand-in-hand to give you real pain relief.
If you're sick and tired of living life full of physical pain, now is the time to act. Don't let your body deteriorate – find your new lease on life at Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center.

At Hanover Park High School, the walkways are rusting and heating pipes have bust. At its sister school in Whippany Park, the roof is crumbling and broken windows dot the facade, according to district officials. Heating systems that date back to the 1950s and 60s periodically fail.
The Hanover Park Regional School District says the schools are badly in need of work, so it's asking voters to approve a $44.4 million plan to make upgrades.
Residents in Hanover Township, East Hanover and Florham Park, the three towns served by the district, will go to the polls next Tuesday, Dec. 13, to vote on the proposal.
Infrastructure in both schools "are original from the buildings’ inceptions and are being used on a continual basis," the district says on its website. "Repairs have become costly; and sometimes, cost-prohibitive. We have now reached the point that we must invest a considerable amount of money to make necessary improvements. This investment is expected to mitigate future costs for the district and its taxpayers."
The district would issue bonds to fund the project, to be repaid over 30 years. But state funding would cover about 40% of the cost if the referendum is approved.
The money would pay for new roofs, windows and exterior doors and air-conditioning at both schools, according to a summary posted online. Heating and ventilation systems would be repaired and the two buildings would get new security vestibules outside their entrances. At Hanover Park High, a boiler room would be converted into a new STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) lab; a similar lab is already in development at Whippany Park.
About $28.1 million would be spent at Hanover Park and $16.3 million at Whippany.
The project would add $20.71 to property taxes for every $100,000 of assessed value for Florham Park homeowners, $28.12 in Hanover and $29.12 in East Hanover, according to school officials.
But taxpayers' actual bills would go down in four of the next five years, they said, because debt costs from previous projects are also coming off the books. According to the district, taxpayers in each town would save anywhere from $1 to $5 a year through 2025 and then about $30 a year starting in 2027 if the referendum passes.
That's based on average assessed values of $366,000 in East Hanover, $425,000 in Hanover and $658,000 in Florham Park.
Development:East Hanover mayor laments huge housing project: 'I lose sleep over what's happening'
For subscribers:Red Bulls score approval for 81-acre HQ in Morris County. Here's a look at revised plans
The district has posted more details on the proposed upgrades, an FAQ, design renderings and other information at www.hpreg.org.
The vote will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday at polling locations around the three towns, with mail-in ballots also an option. Voters can find their polling places using the state Division of Elections' Polling Place Search site.

HANOVER TWP. – The all-Republican Township Committee will vote to select the 2023 mayor and deputy mayor from among its members at 6 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 6 during its reorganization meeting at the municipal building.
Current Deputy Mayor Thomas “Ace” Gallagher and Committeeman Ronald Francioli will be sworn in to their fourth and 15th three-year terms, respectively.
As Hanover Township’s governing body is a committee form of government, the committee members will need to elect one of their own as mayor, as opposed to a council where the mayor is voted on directly by the public.
Ferramosca was first chosen mayor in July 2020 when he took over for Francioli who stepped down but remained on the committee.
Ferramosca was unanimously re-elected mayor at the 2021 reorganization meeting last January, when fellow Committeeman Thomas “Ace” Gallagher was unanimously elected deputy mayor. The pair were unanimously re-elected to these positions during the 2022 reorganization meeting.
There are five committee members, and the other members eligible for election are Brian Cahill and Michael Mihalko.
Francioli, who is retired but owned a public relations firm, has served as mayor, most recently in 2021. After his next term, he will have served 45 consecutive years on the committee.
He served as CEO of the public relations firm Francioli, Richartz, Weiman and Fliss from inception in 1982 until his retirement around 2006.
He said before the election the fact that he and Gallagher are running uncontested is a testament that the people of Hanover Township like what’s going on with the government that’s in place.
“I think my role is going to take on a different direction, and I think given my years of service on the team, I’ll probably be looked at more as a senior member of the governing body and be looked at more for the experience that I’ve had and some of the things that I’ve experienced over time that we’re experiencing again,” Francioli said.
The current term’s accomplishments Francioli noted include Fair Share Housing; Fancioli said the committee came up with a reasonable and equitable solution, which was a team effort.
Also, the committee members managed to keep the township remaining fiscally sound through the COVID-19 pandemic and were able to keep tax hikes under two percent.
That in of itself was a feat and it was aided by the fact the township is one of the few Morris County municipalities that has no debt.
“I have said many, many times, it is a true honor to serve on the Hanover Township Committee,” said Gallagher, the owner of Ace Gallagher Stump Grinding in Morristown. “My first day on the committee, I made it very clear that I serve on Hanover Township’s Township Committee.
“In my opinion, it is all about public service. I pledged to all of Hanover Township’s residents that I would treat the people of Hanover Township and this office with the utmost respect, the respect our residents and this office deserves.
“I also pledged to work as hard as humanly possible everyday to serve all the people of Hanover Township. As an incumbent, and seeking re-election I have asked to be judged on the way I have represented the people of Hanover Township and the pledge I made on my first day.
“The fact that this is now an uncontested election is a true honor and and I truly appreciate the confidence the Hanover Township residents have in me. I will not let up on working as hard as I can everyday and I will continue to be available to every resident every day for any reason. Thank you very much for the continued support and confidence.”
For Todd Hartman, basketball has always been about family. His parents came to all his games, whether he was playing for Mount Olive, County College of Morris, or The College of New Jersey. And Hartman's players have been like his sons, absorbing his tough love, coming back for alumni games and even inviting him to weddings.That meant plenty of calls, emails and texts when Hartman finally earned his 300th win, 77-72, on Tuesday night at Parsippany Hills.

For Todd Hartman, basketball has always been about family. His parents came to all his games, whether he was playing for Mount Olive, County College of Morris, or The College of New Jersey. And Hartman's players have been like his sons, absorbing his tough love, coming back for alumni games and even inviting him to weddings.
That meant plenty of calls, emails and texts when Hartman finally earned his 300th win, 77-72, on Tuesday night at Parsippany Hills. After the post-game handshake line, the Hornets presented Hartman with a commemorative basketball and a black-and-gold banner.
"I've been able to do something I love for a really long time, and have some level of success at it," he said. "On that level, it's a good feeling. I love what I do."
It's been a challenging wait for Hartman, who wanted his players "to focus on their seasons and not some thing of mine." Hanover Park had lost five straight games, and eight out of 10 en route to the milestone.
But Hartman has rarely picked the smooth path.
Baseball came easy to him growing up, but he fell in love with basketball. He watched the Celtics-Lakers rivalry on TV in the 1980s, studying Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and the rest of the classic rosters. The basketball court became Hartman's haven from anxiety, a "place of comfort."
But he was a scrawny kid, and got cut from the seventh- and eighth-grade team. A growth spurt from 5-foot-8 to 6-foot-6 during the summer before his junior year at Mount Olive helped boost his prospects.
He played at CCM, becoming a captain in his second season. He was also named captain at TCNJ. Hartman, who admitted he "wasn't a kid who particularly loved school," earned a degree in health and physical education hoping to stay close to basketball.
"It's a close-up sport," he said. "Football, you're wearing helmets. Baseball, you're so far away from each other. In basketball, if someone knows he can beat you, you can read it on his face. It's under bright lights and you're wearing shorts. You've got to be ready to play. There's something so pure and beautiful about that."
Hartman's first coaching job was for Vic Paternostro, the legendary Pope John football coach. Paternostro pointed at the quarterback and receivers and told Hartman, "That's your new toy. Go play with it. Just don't break your toy." He also warned Hartman against becoming friends with the players, because they need to be coached.
In 1997, Hartman succeeded another legend, his former coach Jack Martin, at CCM. Their often contentious relationship formed the "tough but fair" model Hartman uses with his current players.
He moved to Hanover Park in 2004 to teach and coach boys basketball.
"People said, 'Don't go there. It's a tough rebuild. It's a wrestling school,'" Hartman recalled. "I like when people tell me not to do something."
The Hornets may think Hartman lives in his cramped office off the gym. He arrives two hours before practice, and stays until he hears the last ball stop bouncing outside the usually open door. Hartman has multiple group texts for former players, because his phone doesn't allow him to keep all the numbers grouped together.
"He really found himself," said Martin, who earned a 569-225 record in 30 years of coaching.
"I was happy about that, because I really liked him. He was a very hard worker, very determined. We struggled a little bit, but once we got things going, he found out he had potential to do great things. It turned out to be a pretty good story."
The wall behind Hartman's desk is decorated with photos of past NJAC divisional champions, alongside his two blonde daughters growing up. Jaylin Hartman, a senior forward at Blair, signed a National Letter of Intent with George Washington. Ryleigh, 12, is a lefty point guard at Mendham Township Middle School, "a shooter (with) her own style of play," according to her proud father.
Before Jaylin started at Blair, Todd Hartman was thinking about retiring from coaching so he could be in the stands at her games like his parents had been. Jaylin thought the idea was "so dumb. ... You need to be a coach. That's what you do" Also, most of Blair's games are livestreamed so they could still break down her film together afterward. Ryleigh, a seventh-grader, is more laid back than her focused, driven older sister, but Todd Hartman said, "She's like, 'Whatever,' then goes out there and flies around and dominates."
Over Winter Break, Jaylin got a chance to watch some Hanover Park games and even took photos. She hopes to go into broadcast or photojournalism, and is compiling a scrapbook for her dad.
"I'm excited and proud. I think his next goal should be 500 wins," she said. "It shows he's not crazy and he knows what he's talking about. All those long nights, getting home late during the season, were all worth it, because he's making victories for both the kids and him. I just want to see more."
