I have a broad level L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc herniation and inflamed it to an extent that my posture had become scarily scoliotic. Reached a state where my pain level was 8-9/10 no matter what I did - stand / sleep / sit / walk. I went to this place on a recommendation from a friend and I cant be more thankful to JCPT folks for helping me heal back in top shape in such a quick time. Alex, more than being gem of a physical therapist, is a God sent Angel for those in pain. Magical techniques, reassuring demeanor, urgency to solve your pain and amazing sense of humor - he is such an inspiration to watch in action. While the place is always busy with many patients and physios and aids.. when its your turn, you are taken care of with great sincerity, without being rushed. One more great thing during recovery was that this center is open late most of the weekdays - meant that I could get back from new york city late and still get a keep my appointment at 7:30 pm. My previous experiences with other physical therapy centers in this area has been that others are keen to manage your pain - heal you just enough that you keep coming back to them - no genuine focus / sense of urgency on putting you in back shape as quickly as possible. JCPT is such a welcome difference. Presently, to stay fit I am a member of their MAX Fit gym program which is given to patients free for a month, and then on the fee is 20 bucks/month at the moment.. I would highly recommend anyone with serious back issues to see Alex for sure - Prash

What an extraordinary quality run organization. You walk in, are greeted privately, and after 3 months of regular appointments, Ive never waited more than 90 seconds. My 1st stop is always with my therapist for an assessment and evaluation with me the focus of concern. He leads and directs an aide to follow me. They monitor me as I progress explaining the purpose and goals of my physical therapy plan. I participate and give feedback. I never dreamed Id have benefited from exercising. I walked in, bone in bone with calcified bone spurs, a limp and pain. After 5 weeks, Im walking stairs and limp free. I walked in a candidate for a total knee replacement. Now, I dont want to keep my next appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. Before this experience, Id heard stories of physical therapy mills: patients coming and going in 20 minutes, being served by trainees on rolling stools serving a room full of patients at a time, patients being left alone. Jersey Central doesnt operate that way. I have 1 constant therapist, and every session runs 1-3/4 to 2 hours. My regimen takes almost 2 hours to complete. Mine is a success story. Sean ensures my success. Id ask for him, again.

Beware, rude scam artists. I called to schedule therapy, they told me they were in network and I had no copay. I signed a sheet on each visit for 2 months that I owed zero copay. When I informed them I would be switching to another facility they altered my sign in sheet and told me I owed them a copay for each visit. They called me and left rude messages and threatened collections with outrageous fees becoming verbally combative when I explained the situation. I went in to put a stop to the phone calls and explain, they were rude and tried to make me feel like a deadbeat instead of taking any blame for their billing mistake. I spoke to the owner Alex who was equally rude. There are plenty of good places to get physical therapy without dealing with terrible attitudes and illegal alterations of signed documents.

I had a very mixed experience at Jersey Central. One of the fornt desk staff was always rude/dismissive and made my experience very unpleasant, but the other front desk person was super nice and went out of her way to try and be accomodating. They are always crowded and I never felt I was getting enough hands-on therapy. Mostly, I walked around with my chart checking off the set of exercises I was suppose to do on my own. Some of the aides were friendly and nice. But most were kind of lazy and sat around talking instead of making sure the exercises were being done correctly. The owners and most of the staff have a pervasive Christian religion belief system which can be a little off-putting. Lastly, why I rate this fair is that in the end my situation did not improve at all.

Upper back also went bad after therapy .... they did some technique that makes poping of ribcage ... since then upper back has become really bad .... worst place for back therapy ..... not recommended at all by Abhishek, Edison, NJ April 25, 2011

JCPT was great! They really care about their patients and I wasnt just a time slot on their schedule. The staff, from therapist to aide, was very friendly and motivating! The atmosphere was surprising enjoyable even though dealing with painful issues. Their facility is also fully equipped with a gym, so I will be continuing my exercise regimen here. I would definitely recommend PT here!

Great practice. The front desk and staff are friendy, personnal and professional! I was treated for a variety of orthpedic problems over the years (back knees, and feet). They helped me get better. I am now painfree and able to do everyting without pain. I would highly recommend them to you if you need physical or occupational therapy!

I have been here for my ankle, my hips, my right shoulder and just to come and exercise. The staff is like family in the way they respond and want to help those who come for therapy. Each one is a knowledgeable, friendly person with a servants heart.

The physical therapists and aids work with you til youre 100%. They also show that they care about you in general not just for your physical well-being. They are always looking out for each others patients. I personally feel better just being there.
