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 â find your new lease on life at Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center.

KINNELON, NJ - Meet your leader: Councilman Sean Mabey
Councilman Sean Mabey grew up in Butler and moved to Kinnelon in 1985. He took over his parent’s business that originated in 1971.
In 2018, Sean was approached by now Mayor Jim Freda to contribute to local politics. After giving it some thought, Sean decided to take action in 2020.

“I want good people that want good things, not just doing it to have the title. Things happen when people don’t get involved,” said Mabey when asked about his motivation to run for council.
While having no previous political experience, Sean felt that people follow leaders. He compared this type of leadership to the practice he had gotten throughout his years of coaching athletics.
Mabey expressed that as a newly elected councilman, he initially experienced feelings of isolation from other members and explained that communication was a challenge. As a result, he focused on facilitating growth within the council by encouraging fellow community members who shared his vision of better communication (and the common goal of “doing what is best” for Kinnelon) to run for town council.
When asked about some of his accomplishments since becoming a council member, he explained that in addition to filling the council with principled people he had a hand in a variety of advancements in the Kinnelon community.
One significant enhancement was the septic installation at the Boonton Avenue Recreation Facility. He explained that Kinnelon had initially leased but recently purchased this facility. While leasing, it was furnished with simple “holding tanks” for the restrooms. These holding tanks required evacuations which was costing the town (taxpayers) thousands of dollars a year. After the purchase of the facility, Mabey donated his own time and tools from his company, M&B Septic, to install a septic tank which eliminated that costly annual evacuation expense.
In addition, this past year, an increase in the cost of trash collection has increased expenses. Every municipality has faced these unfortunate large increases. Councilman Mabey found a way to decrease the cost, resulting in a projected overall savings for the town of between $100,000-120,000 this year.
“Kinnelon is on a path of being smarter economically for the future. We are making smart investments,” said Councilman Mabey.
Beyond those achievements, Mabey also shared his success in creating the Veterans Day Event that is held annually on November 11th. He also implemented Veteran banners to be installed in municipalities around the state.
Aside from his position as councilman, Sean Mabey expressed that he is proud to be a father of three. When he isn’t working or contributing to the community, he enjoys spending time at the beach with his family. He loves fishing and riding wave runners with his kids. He also enjoys snowmobiling with them in New York State.
“I love my kids and I love spending time with them,” said Mabey.
When asked about what to anticipate in the near future for Kinnelon, Mabey gave some insight.
“Every municipality has to face affordable housing. We are going to face that in some regard. We just hired two professionals, Elizabeth McManus and Bob Benecke, to help guide us. We want the best deal for Kinnelon. Because of these two professionals, I'm confident we'll be able to navigate this. We’ll get the best deal for Kinnelon and make most people happy, ” said Mabey.
An additional goal of Mabey’s is to utilize town investments to create recreational facilities and enhance communication with residents.
“Right now we are working on better communication with the public, we are engaging with alert developing news. We’re in the process of doing that with Nixel and TAPinto Tri Borough,” said councilman Mabey.

A homeowner in Kinnelon, New Jersey, is about to find out what happens when you cut down a neighbor’s trees.
Tree law is a subject of interest in online communities like r/legaladvice, so much so that there’s even an often-shared comic about the subreddit’s enthusiastic response. The potential penalties in these cases can make them very satisfying to read about.
Twitter user Sam Glickman (@SamAsIAm) recently took to the platform to share a story relayed by the borough forester involved in the case, later identified as John Linson by Northjersey.com.
As Glickman explained, the alleged culprit, also identified by the local outlet as Grant Haber, “cut down 32 big mature trees on his neighbor’s New Jersey property to get a better view of New York City. He hired a guy who hired another guy.”
Unfortunately for Haber — but fortunately for the rest of the U.S. — most states have laws against cutting down another person’s trees since they’re so hard to replace, so valuable, and so important for purifying our air. Sometimes, the laws protecting them can be quite vicious.
“The fine per tree is $1,000, so the guy probably thought he was going to just pay a $32,000 fine,” Glickman said. “But the arborist wrote violations to all three parties, 96 in all, and there’s a provision requiring the replanting of like trees ‘of the same size.’”
In other words, the culprit and both the people hired to do the task may be held legally responsible for replacing the trees they removed — not just planting new saplings, but actually transporting full-grown trees to the victim’s lot and making sure they survive being transplanted.
Since trees are so big and so hard to move without hurting them, the process comes with a hefty price tag. According to Glickman, the victim had been in touch with the only company willing to do the job.
“They have to build a road, remove the debris, plant big trees, and water them for two years,” Glickman said. “He quoted $1.5 million. And additional fines total $400,000.” If true, that would bring the grand total price tag for cutting down 32 mature trees to almost $2 million.
A preliminary hearing in the Kinnelon Municipal Court was held on June 27 over Zoom, Glickman said.
“Zoom was overwhelmed,” he explained, adding that some viewers were “asked to leave so the prosecutor could log in.”
The session was rescheduled to July 18 after Haber’s lawyer requested additional time to review information related to the case.
When reached by Northjersey.com, Linson would not comment on the social media price estimate for replacing the trees other than to say it was “slightly exaggerated.”
“I am only able to state that 32 trees were removed without a permit,” he told the outlet.

[KINNELON, NJ] - Meet your Leader! Mayor Jim Freda has lived in Kinnelon for 21 years with his wife of 30 years, Marianne. The two built a beautiful family with their son, Gavin, attending Indiana University (as a Junior) and their adorable family dog, Brooklyn.
Mayor Jim Freda's success has stretched far beyond what many could imagine. He keeps busy running two Goddard schools [locations in Montclair and Sparta] owning a Fantastic Sam's hair salon in Kinnelon, and recently sold his deli, “A Taste of Reality,” after 28 years of operation. Despite his busy schedule, he continues to selflessly devote his time to the community which he loves.
His introduction to the political arena began with an interest in simply wanting a turf field in Kinnelon. Working in his deli (A Taste of Reality) at the time, many customers expressed a common desire for Kinnelon to have a turf field. With this peaked interest, he began to advocate for this advancement. After community members witnessed his tenacity to work for something they all wished to obtain (turf field) they began to encourage him to become involved on a more political level. Shortly thereafter, Freda ran for council with his platform focusing on the community. After his victory, he proudly served the Kinnelon community as councilman.

During his time in this position, he created “K-Fest” and began to see a greater vision for the town. Freda expressed that the beauty of Kinnelon came from its residents. His vision was to make Kinnelon similar to the beloved Mayberry Street from The Andy Griffith Show. His passion behind this mission was driven by his hope that this particularly amazing community would continue to be an enjoyable place where the community could connect with each other.
He later made a run for mayor and has served proudly for five years. Within those five years he implemented the Kinnelon Farmers Market and the town carnival. The town carnival is now optimizing its use as it has become a successful fundraising opportunity for the community, specifically, the high school football team.
Mayor Jim Freda enjoys providing these life-like opportunities to the youth of the community. In addition to assisting with the fundraiser for the high school football team, he has created a “Mayor-of-the-Day.” This event is a fun day when leaders from Stonybrook Elementary School tour town hall and get the feeling of what it is like to be a Mayor.
Freda is fueled by the community's success. When asked about what Kinnelon can anticipate in the near future with his leadership he spoke about his plans to build a community center.
The community center would ideally be next to KRP [Kinnelon Recreation Park] field, and would provide a place for all ages, from senior citizens to children, to enjoy recreational activities.
The love that Mayor Jim Freda has for this town is nothing short of extraordinary. When asked about what makes this town so special to him, it was no surprise that he discussed the community and the way the community comes together. “I always say whenever there is a situation or any type of horrific event, our town always steps up for each other. That’s what I love about Kinnelon. The town is always there for each other,” said Mayor Jim Freda.

Dave Mango relocated to Kinnelon in 2017 with his wife and daughter. He is the Superintendent of Kinnelon schools and a proud Kinnelon dad.
“Who I am personally is the same person I am professionally. The staff knows that when they’re talking to me, they are just talking to Dave,” said Mango.
Dave explained he pursued a career in education as a result of previously experiencing the impact of good educators.
“What propelled me into education was my high school vice principal, guidance counselor, and coach; they all gave me so much that when I left there I wanted to give back. By the end of my senior year I knew that I wanted to make a positive impact,” said Mango.
Since becoming superintendent, Mango has implemented new technology infrastructure upgrades and a full-day Kindergarten program. Pre-K and speech services have been added to the top floor of Sisco Building. Google Classroom will be utilized across the district. High school students will be receiving new Chromebooks. The athletics department added new fencing around sports facilities, including around the bleachers. Lastly, the weight room renovation has begun, and all former equipment will be donated to charity.
In addition to those advancements, Mango instilled upgrades to safety and security as he feels safety is a priority.
“No matter where I've been or the position, I've always valued security. You have to have security,” explained Mango.
The safety improvements included revising new security signage, partnering with Eastern DataComm for a lens visitor management system, adding surveillance to Sisco building, adding vestibular in areas throughout the district, and extending technology further to the school’s fields.
The district applied for the “ROD” grants for partial roof replacement at Kiel School and Stonybrook school.
Additionally, Kinnelon is anticipating a security grant worth up to $500,000. If the grant is approved, taxpayers would only pay 60% of improvements and the state would pay for 40%.
Mango also changed district policy to require all students to wear student identification in their lanyards (grades 7-12) in efforts to enhance safety.
With all the new developments within the district, Mango expresses appreciation for the Kinnelon Board of Education.
“We have an outstanding board of education, they are committed. They work around the clock with me. We are in this together,” said Mango.
Dave Mango is looking forward to the school year and leaves us with a message to the community:
“School is not the same without students and staff. We are missing the laughter, the cheers, the smiles, and honestly the noise. We look forward to having our students and families come back and return to our buildings, as we are excited to embark on the 2023-24 calendar year.”
