Working with Dave at Blue Iron Physio was one of the greatest choices I have made in my career. Dave works and interacts very well with athletes and made my recovery very fun opposed to long and dreaded like recovery is made out to be. Every athlete in the North Jersey area should be looking to him as the number 1 choice for injury recovery as well as injury prevention

Blue Iron Physio is undeniably the best place to be. I started going 2 years ago for my ACL rehab and I've received many comments that I play like it never happened. I credit that completely to the Blue Iron Physio Team. There's no other place that makes you feel rejuvenated and recovered like you do here, especially when you are surrounded by the community that Blue Iron Physio embraces you into.

This. Is. The. Place. You. Want. To. Go.

 

I had pulled my back and wanted to get back out playing golf as soon as possible. As soon as I walked in to see David and his team I noted the organization and cleanliness of the extremely modern facility which brought out a confidence in both my choice of PT and also in my desire to work to get stronger and healthy again.

 

The training itself was overseen directly by the PT's, not an assistant, and I was given a full plan to ensure my complete recovery and to prevent further injury.

 

David and his team are a pleasure to work with - they're friendly, yet professional. It's clear they're dedicated to learning more about their craft and listen to you. The most impressive part of the whole process of working with Blue Iron was their ability to explain to me, in simple terms, what was wrong and how we were going to fix it.

 

I'm happy to say that I'm back to feeling 100% AND THEN SOME. I can't recommend them enough.

At Blue Iron Physio in Tenafly, NJ, we work with competitive athletes, recreational runners, and active adults across Bergen County who want to train hard, move well, and stay healthy doing it. Our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy combines hands-on care with performance testing to build plans that are clear, measurable, and built around your sport.

​

Running physical therapy in Tenafly is a big part of what we do. We treat runners dealing with runner's knee and knee pain, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis, hip pain and hip impingement, and low back pain and sciatica. We also guide athletes through ACL rehab, hamstring strains, and ankle injuries with structured return-to-sport progressions designed to get you back competing, not just moving.

​

Every plan starts with a thorough initial assessment to find the root cause of your problem. From there, your care combines manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted exercise to restore function and build the durability your training demands. For runners and performance athletes, we also offer 3D running gait analysis and force plate testing to identify the mechanical and strength gaps that hold athletes back.

​

Every session is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy, no assistants, no shortcuts. If you're ready for a clear plan and a path back to your sport, book a free phone consultation to get started.
