At Livingston Physical Therapy & Functional Wellness in Little Silver NJ, manual therapy is a cornerstone of our care. Using skilled, hands-on techniques, we help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve how your body functions as a whole.
This approach allows us to address joint, muscle, and soft tissue restrictions that exercise alone cannot resolve.
Our approach to physical therapy is intentionally different. Every visit is one-on-one with the same licensed physical therapist, so your care is never rushed or generic. We don’t rotate you between providers or rely on cookie-cutter protocols—your treatment is personalized, consistent, and built around your goals.
