I had pain and issues with my shoulder and arm for years. I saw 3 orthopedist, another physical therapist and 2 chiropractors and none of them were able to tell me what exactly was wrong let alone provide much if any long term relief. Basically gave up hope thinking I'd be able to have full use of my shoulder/arm until I saw Dr. Phillips. He was able to tell me what was wrong and had me greatly improved after 10 sessions. He's highly knowledgeable and you'd be foolish not to get his insight.

I could not be happier with my experience at Bergen PT associates. Unlike most PT providers that just have you go through the motions, the guys at Bergen PT associates actually push you to get better. Increasing weights and intensity so I was able to regain actual strength and not just range of motion.
The work hardening program they setup for my injury got me further in a few weeks than months at my previous provider. I routinely use an 32' extension ladder (80lbs) for my job and carry a tool bag (40+ lbs) and other heavy items, thanks to Bergen PT I've been able to resume my

After an injury that left me barely able to walk and unable to dress myself without help and 4 spine surgeries I have been through a lot. I'm too young to not have the active life I've enjoyed. Meeting Dr. Jim has given me reason to feel all is not lost. He has renewed my faith. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He knows the body and how to get it working properly. Much respect to this man. He picks up where the surgeon leaves off and he's better at it.
