Deciding what to call your company comes with just as much pressure as naming a baby! We knew Iron Physical Therapy was born when we read this definition…

This past December, Charlene was Iron Physical Therapy’s Patient of the Month from our Midland Park, NJ clinic! This hard working runner & mom’s pain didn’t only affect her performance on the road but her daily activities. After spending time in physical therapy strength training and becoming more informed about stretching, watch out for Charlene as she keeps hitting the pavement!

Brielle is a 6th grade soccer player in Caldwell, NJ who broke her leg during a game back in the spring. She stayed strong from the time they first called the ambulance to surgery and then a difficult rehab. Incredibly, she was even able to return sport during the fall season! Read more about this student’s impressive recovery here.

Callie works in film and writing for TV shows, living NYC until coming back to NJ to recover from this injury! She’s also a very strong gymnast…so strong she had continued training for a while before finding out her injury because it "wasn’t that bad.” As you will read below, Callie is an extremely hard worker and loves to set goals for herself (and achieve them)!

When Tina needed to have foot surgery on both feet, this busy teacher & cheerleading coach knew the best time was the summer. While her road to recovery has been a long one, the hard work she's put in has never wavered - from a wheelchair, to crutches, to walking without anything. See how it played out here!

Blake is a college lacrosse player whose hamstring injury has kept him out of the game he loves. He certainly embodies the saying — when life knocks you down, you keep getting up! When his recurrent issues knocked him down season after season, he only worked harder. He’s proved that with hard work and dedication, you can get right back out there!

Ella is a student athlete who’s been working hard in physical therapy to get geared up for her return to soccer. She’s been patient beyond her years and has persevered through her recovery.

One of our favorite things to do is get out in the community to be with the athletes we care about so much. There is no greater joy than seeing people experience the power of movement in their own lives, especially when we’ve gotten to be part of their recovery journey.

Over the last few months, we’ve been movin’ and shakin’ all over the Caldwell and Midland Park area to be part of these great local events in NJ.

90% of student athletes report some sort of sports-related injury. 42% said that they’ve hidden an injury during a game so they can keep playing. Not our Patient of the Month. This is what happened when high school volleyball player, Katie, crushed her physical therapy so she could come back stronger than ever.

Pain and depression have always been closely related. Depression can cause or worsen pain — and pain (especially chronic pain) can cause or worsen depression. If you're experiencing any part of this vicious cycle, you can turn to a physical therapist as part of your support system to begin healing physically and emotionally using the power of movement.
