ABOUT US
"Therapy" of any type often represents a pivotal experience in one's life. For Physical Therapy, this may result from an injury, a desire to maximize surgical prognosis, or simply confronting the inevitable realization that our bodies no longer function like the "well-oil" machines we thought that they would always be.
Pivotal Physical Therapy & Wellness Center was founded in Monroe Township, NJ in 2002 and has since served over 5,000 members of the community and surrounding areas. We continue to recruit the most seasoned physical therapists, massage therapists and indispensable staff members who share our eternal commitment to providing high-quality, individualized care to each of our patients, helping them get in their best shape while guiding them through proper training and instruction on how to overcome this pivotal moment and return back to their best lives.
