I have been looking for efficient, targeted and 1:1 PT following three (3) hip replacements within 12 months...I finally found it using the Red Cord technique with Jason Goncalves at ActiveCore!! He is knowledgable about building strength within the body, and also knows how to keep his patients motivated...recognizing improvement and milestones. The entire experience has been positive, informative and empowering! Most importantly, ActivCore offers the Red Cord system of physical therapy. It is unique and "cutting edge" (in the US) and enables the strengthening of hard to reach areas/muscles. Within a few weeks of working with Dr. Goncalves, I felt stronger and more confident from the inside out. ActiveCore in Scotch Plains is a great place for traditional physical therapy, but I highly recommend it for tricky injuries or recuperations. After THREE hip replacements (compounded by two dislocations, which drove the need for the "extra" hip replacement), I finally found a system that can help me overcome the injuries and weaknesses that have been holding me back for years!! Hobble in, March out:)

My experience at ActivCore was excellent. I worked with Dr. Jason Goncalves from mid May until late August. I am a hockey player. I was sidelined with both patellar and quadriceps tendonitis. When I first walked into Jasons office, I had trouble just doing simple things like sitting down and walking up stairs, or even being in a seated position for a long time. We worked 2 days a week, for an hour each. We did a lot of stretching, mobilization exercises, soft tissue work, and most of all red cord therapy. We strengthened not only muscles surrounding my knee, but all the muscles that support my knee. We also freed up my hips and ankle mobility to take more pressure off me knee. By the time I was done my knees were 100%. I am now fully healthy and playing hockey 6 days a week vigorously. This wouldnt have been possible without Jason. He is a professional. He knows his subject very well, knows how to treat them, and most importantly he genuinely cares about his patients progress.

I started working with Jason Goncalves at ActivCore after a disappointing month of working with a physical therapist at a clinic near my home. I drive 50 min each way twice a week to work with Jason. I have been dealing with chronic Achilles tendinitis. After just a couple of weeks of working with Jason using Redcord equipment as well as the deep tissue work he provides, I started feeling stronger and steadier. Instead of just focusing solely on my ankle, Jason did a complete evaluation of my walking and my movement in general. He created a program to help me strengthen all the muscle groups that impact my walking. I get his full, undivided attention for 55 minutes. Jason is so knowledgeable and creative. He is compassionate and professional. I feel confident that I will make good progress as a result of the work we do together. He truly is worth the drive and I highly recommend him.

In my three years dealing with hamstring and leg injuries, I have never felt as confident and powerful than I do now. In my first summer with Jason Goncalves at ActiveCore I noticed an immediate impact. With each session comes with clear improvement with strength, posture, flexibility, and more. Competing at a collegiate level, I need the strength and stamina to complete each season at a high level and I am noticing a clear difference in such a short amount of time. Not only is my strength and overall well being improving but the customer to trainer relationship is unlike any other physical therapist or physician I have seen in my career. The hour long session is full of laughs and smiles resulting from the overall improvement but as well as the environment in the room!!

Very unique & the most result producing physical therapy I have ever experienced! (This is probably the 8th (or more) time I have been in PT due to multiple accidents, injuries & pain) I knew the typical PT approach would only minimally make a difference in my pain & it would just come back again. Jason is extremely knowledgeable and using the Redcord system has provided a whole body approach to treatment!!! This has allowed me to not only get out of unbearable pain (with just slight movement) in my shoulder to full range of motion in addition to strengthening beyond where I have been in years! And Im only half way through my sessions! I am so grateful I tried Activcore with Jason!!!! Thank You Jason !!!! I have hope again of a healthy active lifestyle again !

As a healthcare provider with 34 years of experience Ive "seen a thing or two". Jason Goncalves not only is a Physical Therapist but took the extra steps (not at all easy to do) to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Once you meet him you will understand why he did so. It is quite apparent that he holds the same standard of excellence for himself as he does for the care he provides to his patients. He has a relaxing and very unassuming demeanor - this immediately puts you, the patient, at ease. You never feel at all rushed and all attention is given to your needs. To sum things up very simply, Jason adheres to the 3 "Cs" - he is Caring, Communicative and Compassionate. I am fortunate to have him helping me!

I recently retired after teaching at Middlesex County College for 44 years. My hip problems started emerging around three years ago. After seeing three orthopedic doctors, I gave up any hope of being able to walk without pain. The last MD I saw had similar problems as I. He recommended PT. I had "regular" physical therapy in the past and felt very little relief. However, I checked into the Activecore program five weeks ago with Dr. Jason Goncalves, and found that there was a way not only to gain relief but to begin resolving the issue with my back and hips. I am now walking with little or no pain, and as I continue with this amazing PT, I expect to be pain free, and stay that way.

HIGH-QUALITY, PERSONALIZED THERAPY : ) Something positive comes out of something negative...I am SO glad I was directed here after having severe knee pain when recovering from an ankle fracture. Jason is extremely knowledgeable (and is even furthering his education) and has been able to provide me exercises to work pretty much my entire body to relieve my knee pain and ankle sensitivity. He genuinely demonstrates a sincere desire to help me feel better. Its a true pleasure to have one-on-one therapy, a friendly and knowledgeable therapist, and equipment that you cannot really find anywhere else. HIGHLY recommended for any sort of issue you may be having...

I have been coming to Activecore At Athletic Edge both for pre-surgery pre-hab and post-surgery rehab for a full hip replacement. My progress has been outstanding and Dr. Jason has been excellent to work with. I would recommend Activecore to anyone considering physical therapy, especially for hips and back. The Red Cord system has helped isolate, stabilize and strengthen all of the key muscle groups required for rapid recovery from this surgery. I have seen progress each week and after 6 weeks I am pleased to report that I have resumed all of my pre-surgery workout routines including training in the gym and spin biking.

Just completed my PT at Activcore with Jason Goncalves and highly recommend to others. As with other reviews, Activcore is like no other physical therapy youve tried before. The one on one sessions allowed Jason to diagnose and continually tweak when necessary. Jason is knowledgeable and met the recovery challenge which allowed me to return to my sport prior to the season ending. Jasons high energy levels are contagious and its apparent he is pationate about helping others achieve their goals. Glad I found Activcore and now know where to go if future physical therapy is needed.
