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.

The banner hanging high on the Tower Square shopping center confirms that Anytime Fitness is coming to Washington Township on Egg Harbor Rd, in the 5-points area of town.
The new gym location will be moving into a prime end unit which previously was home to a Dollar General store before the discount goods retailer relocated to a new building near by.
Anytime Fitness is a 24-hour gym in a size more compact than other competitors such as Planet Fitness. Typically the average size of Anytime Fitness is 4-6,000 square feet, and a Planet Fitness is about 20,000 square feet.
That being said, based on the Tower Square site plan the space allocated to Anytime Fitness Sewell is 9,000 square feet which would make it one of the larger locations for them.
To better help readers pinpoint the location, this is the same shopping center where the Village Pub is located.
This is a nice signing for the center to fill out that key space. They only have the free-standing bank building left as available to lease.
Five years ago an Anytime Fitness location opened 3 miles away from in Deptford, in front of Home Depot. That location closed about 2 years later.
Those three miles could make a big difference. Yes there are many gyms in Washington Township and Deptford… but this could be a good location for Anytime Fitness as it will be situated in the center of what seems to be a hole in gym coverage.
If you look at the area on Google Maps and search “gym” they seem to create a ring in all directions about 10 minutes out from the 5-points intersection!
An Anytime Fitness has been operating successfully for several years in Williamstown. Locations are typically franchised, and the Williamstown ownership is not involved with this upcoming Washington Township location.
A big hat-tip to a 42Freeway reader for bringing this to my attention!
As mentioned, Anytime Fitness gyms are typically individually owned franchises.
While there is a core menu of offerings that they support, the full offering for each gym can vary. But absolutely they all feature cardio equipment (bikes and treadmills), weights and weight machines and more.
Also part of the Anytime Fitness experience is their customized “Get Started Plan” which is created by their friendly, professional staff. On their website they also call out personal training and classes, so we should expect to see a dedicated class area. I was a member in the former Deptford location and they were able to have both separate class and spin-class areas.
While the “Coming Soon” banner is in place at Tower Square, there are no other details to be found online to let us know what is planned for the new Washington Township location at this time. We’ll have to wait and see!
Timing is also an unknown. While gyms seem like a big open space, I’d imagine there is a fair amount of buildout related to bathrooms and showers, electricity to support treadmills and other equipment as well as building out interior walls for classrooms.

Saddled with two fouls, Chris Racobaldo spent a good part of the first half on the bench.
His stat line - one rebound, one assist.
So when he stepped on the floor to begin the third quarter, the senior guard/forward knew there was some work to do.
“I started playing my game,” he said.
Racobaldo would come up with a host of big plays down the stretch. He scored 16 points, picked up five steals and secured the outcome with a pair of foul shots in the closing seconds to help visiting Washington Township hold off Timber Creek 68-64 in Tri-County inter-division play Thursday night.
“When we needed him to score, he scored. When we needed foul shots … He seems to make big plays when we need someone to make big plays,” coach Matt Kiser said.
“His mindset seems to be a lot different. He’s developed into a leader. He’ll make some mistakes but has really grown for us. When we need a big play we look for him to do something.”
Said teammate Dan Reistle: “He’s a great player to play with, always has your back. You can always count on a player like that late in a game.”
The matchup was tied five times and there were eight lead changes in the fourth quarter. Just a week into the season, the second half had a real playoff feel. With each possession, the intensity grew.
Racobaldo tied the game at 60-60 with 2:10 to play. Emmanuel Holden then gave Timber Creek (2-2) its last lead on a put-back with 1:40 left. Racobaldo would drain a corner 3-pointer 20 seconds later and the Minutemen would hold on in the final minute.
Washington Township (4-0) is off to its best start since going 7-0 to open the 2015-16 season. The Minutemen finished 25-4 that year, losing to Atlantic City in the South Jersey Group 4 semifinals.
“It’s been a mindset. Every day in practice, they compete,” Kiser said. “There’s a lot of experience, we have 10 seniors. These guys have dedicated themselves and said ‘we want to win.’ We’ve got off to a nice start and it’s been fun and exciting.
“They like being around each other, they’re gym rats. I think they really care about each other and we talk a lot about that. If we can play more selfless, that’s going to help us play harder.”
Reistle, a senior forward, led the winners with 18 points, three rebounds and three steals. Gevon Conrad, a sophomore guard, added 13 points and seven assists. Senior forward Jackson McCrae also had a solid all-around game with six points, five boards, an assist, steal and four blocks.
“We all want it this year. We know the group of guys we have and we know what we can do,” said Reistle, who scored 12 first-quarter points - including three buckets from beyond the arc. “We just worked harder and gritted it out. That’s what it takes against a team like that.”
Bryan Warren led all scorers with 20 points for Timber Creek. The senior guard also collected nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. Sami Anderson added 13 points, while Holden contributed 12 points and nine boards.
“We just gave it our all,” Racobaldo said. “We have a lot more chemistry than last year. The bond is really good.
“If we have that energy and intensity the whole game, we can play against anybody.”

According to officials, the LGBTQ+ safe space stickers will be removed and replaced with a brand-new sticker campaign. LONG VALLEY, NJ — The Superintendent of Washington Township Schools updated the public on the status of the "Safe Zone" rainbow stickers that are displayed around Long Valley Middle School.Following an outpouring of public comments demanding the removal of the stickers, Superintendent Peter Turnamian announced the decision to remove the stickers and replace them with a new campaign idea....
LONG VALLEY, NJ — The Superintendent of Washington Township Schools updated the public on the status of the "Safe Zone" rainbow stickers that are displayed around Long Valley Middle School.
Following an outpouring of public comments demanding the removal of the stickers, Superintendent Peter Turnamian announced the decision to remove the stickers and replace them with a new campaign idea.
Concerned parents first raised the issue of the stickers at a recent board meeting, believing that the nature of the stickers was exclusionary because the depiction of the rainbow only signaled out one group.
At Tuesday's reorganization meeting, one parent spoke up asking what steps the board had taken since the meeting to address the public's concerns. "We left it that it was going to be brought up with legal to see if it was something that was violating anything," resident Jeri Cenziper said.
Turnamian responded by recounting what the school district's legal team had advised the board to do in response to the criticism.
"Ultimately, the advice of legal counsel was to have them come down," Turnamian said.
The legal team was concerned about two things: the voluntary nature of how the stickers were first implemented in the school and how using a specific symbol could expose the district to accusations of favoritism.
According to Turnamian, the stickers were created by middle school students to ensure that LGBTQ+ students felt safe at school, and participation in the initiative was never mandatory for all school members.
The goal of the new initiative dubbed the "Portrait of a Panther," is to create one symbol that represents all middle school students, ensuring that the school is a safe space for all. "Ultimately, the 'Portrait of a Panther' will define three to four core values, which will become the pillars of our ongoing SEL curriculum," Turnamian said.
While many parents had previously spoken out against the stickers, some residents felt that the current initiative was already doing a good job of including all children. Colleen Lindert, a local teacher, stated that the image of a rainbow does not imply that it only applies to LGBTQ students.
"I asked my daughter, who is not as brave to come here tonight because she was actually intimidated, what the rainbow sticker means to her. She is in the middle school, and she said 'it means everyone is welcome, everyone is included.' That is what the rainbow is," resident Marlaina Chiddo said.
With the new initiative, students will be in charge of designing the sticker once more, but this time the school wants to ensure that it is a single common symbol that can represent all students.
The "Portrait of a Panther" initiative was already in the works, according to Turnamian, but the current situation regarding the LGBTQ+ stickers has prompted the school to move the new initiative forward.
