Physical therapy is extremely important during the rehabilitation period after an injury. It can also help relieve symptoms of vertigo, Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s, and strokes while also strengthening your body to protect you from the effects.

They also offer preventative care for athletes. Preventative care is important for athletes of all ages. Whether you are playing high school football, training for your first marathon, or completing your 10th triathlon, it is important to use safe techniques while exercising. Preventative care is also important during the aging process. Physical therapists can teach you safe techniques for lifting objects, getting out of bed, and other daily tasks that become more taxing on your body as you age.

Montclair Physical Therapy, Inc. accepts all PPO insurance plans, and it is one of the few private practices that accepts Medicaid. At a time when most private physical therapy offices are moving towards an insurance free, or fee-for-service model, Montclair Physical Therapy is still a resource for individuals. They provide great one-on-one attention from fantastic practitioners.

There is metered street parking surrounding the building, as well as a small parking lot for clients. Visits are by appointment only, but the staff is very accommodating and accepts short notice appointments when possible.
