There are few things we enjoy more at Iron Physical Therapy than being able to be part of such a passionate running community. Over the last few years, we have had the particular pleasure of working with the runners of Jersey Women Strong LLC, northern NJ’s largest all-women’s running and multi-sport club.

Loren is one of the most hard working and diligent athletes we have had the pleasure working with…you have to be if you're a working mom training for an Ironman! Learn how she used physical therapy to get over any road bumps in her training and FINISH Ironman Louisiana here:

After an ACL Injury, Liz started to go to physical therapy…and hasn’t stopped yet! With physical therapy she has become fearless and is admittedly in better shape than even before her injury. Now, our Patient of the Month is riding the slide board right towards getting back to running, hiking, and skiing! Read her inspiring revelations about PT here:

Our Patient of the Month, Rina, does everything. She cooks, she swims, she gardens, and she even shops…and she uses physical therapy and to #GetBetter and #BeBetter at it all! Learn more about the versatile benefits of techniques like Graston and ART here.

This month, we attended the second annual Bison Classic Crossfit Competition in Midland Park, New Jersey - where we will be opening our second location this summer! These impressive athletes showed how strength and recovery go hand-in-hand after being treated with Active Release Technique, Kinesio Taping, and Normatec Recovery Boots!

This local Essex County elementary school principal is a life long athlete! Despite having had knee surgery that brought his active lifestyle to a temporary halt, his positivity is what will get him back to Crossfit, basketball, fishing, and blacksmithing. He is even excited to get back to burpees, after being out for so long!

After shoulder surgery, lower back pain, and a knee replacement, Albert still hasn't lost his positivity! In fact, it's what keeps him coming back (and thriving). Read more about our POM's physical therapy journey here.

After getting tightness and weakness secondary to his recent injury, this runner's training was really affected. PT brought him strengthening and manual therapy that would get his back to running with his whole family and even jump squatting with his toddler. Read more about his experience here!
