Jackie came to us after having a total knee replacement done on her right knee.

Neck pain comes in many different forms. It may be acute or chronic, dull or sharp, but either way, it is frustrating and should be addressed. So why do so many of us ignore it, hoping it will go away on its own? If you're suffering from acute or chronic neck pain, it's time to get help. We can get you on the road to recovery with a customized physical therapy plan.
After an acute episode of an earache, I experienced dizziness for 3 years. It was difficult for me to walk down the street without feeling afraid of tripping and falling. It was quite debilitating. But now I can walk the streets with confidence & no longer feel dizziness while walking. If so, you are most likely experiencing a Vestibular problem.
My daily life has improved very much so since I've done Physical Therapy. My balance is much better since I came here, and my pain level is significantly lower as well. Gaining and regaining our balance is a lifelong process. Have you ever watched a baby learn how to walk? We simultaneously cheer and worry as they struggle to maintain their balance as they wobble across the floor.

If I ever need physical rehab, Complete Physical Rehab is the only place I go. I’ve recently had total knee replacement. Two days after the surgery I came to Complete Physical Rehab to begin the process of the recovery. The care I receive here is first rate. I’m already a full range of motion and working on strengthening the muscles. My surgeon is amazed at the progress I have made under their care.I highly recommend Complete Physical Rehab for anyone who needs physical therapy.

I have been very pleased with the service I've received from Complete Physical Rehab's Elizabeth location. Starting with the Front Administrator, Lu. Ms. Lu was very effective in securing an appointment and identifying a time slot which was convenient for me to see the Doctor. She quickly verified my payor's eligibility requirements and followed up accordingly with all required information.
Ms. Lu was very professional and pleasant to deal with over the phone and even more so in person. She took the time to introduce herself on my first visit and inquired if I had additional questions. I also

Complete physical rehab has helped me a lot in my journey of recovery. I came to them with severe hip and leg pain. With the help of Dr. James, I was able to enjoy my trip. With the exercise given, my pain has gone done tremendously. I can't thank them enough. If you are looking for a place to get physical therapy then this is the place for you

Complete Physical Rehab has been amazing at helping me feel better after a bad accident. They listen and take the time to explain everything they do. They truly care about their patients! I never feel like I’m just a number. The entire staff is polite and professional and always so accommodating. I travel here from NY for my treatment because they really are the best.

I can't believe it took me so long to review CPR. It's been THE place I have relied on several times to help deal with chronic and acute injuries (back issues, shoulder and elbow issues). Dr. James and his staff are warm, thoughtful and truly care about their craft.

As someone who participates in a lot of physical activity and coaches others, I truly appreciate all of their help and expertise, and refer my own fitness coaching clients to them.

I waited TOO long to visit a Physical Therapist for my physical ailments from years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Tennis, Dance, and more, and i must say...

DON'T GO ANYWHERE, BUT HERE.. AND GO ASAP!

Dr. Stefan Paul took this battered body of mine and made me feel brand new. Upon stepping in, you are welcomed by a friendly receptionist that provided clarity on the first steps of the day. I felt a little nervous about what was to come, but Dr. Paul, who was on time, friendly, and overall very educational, welcomed me and guided me into the room he would work his magic.

Throughout the session

A huge thank you to Humberto, Dr. James, and the rest of the folks at Complete Physical Rehabilitation. They've been a huge help in my recovery from a humerus fracture. The level of knowledge and care the staff demonstrated at every appointment was impressive and aided in the recovery from my injury.

I was with Dr. James for several months after a large surgery to my upper right quad. I was barely able to walk going into my first session and was able to walk with a proper gait not long after. Dr. James designed a specialized plan for me that worked. A mix of strength exercises, stretching, and plenty of time in the Alter-G helped immensely.
I would not be in as good of shape today if it weren't for their whole team.

I highly recommend giving them a call.

I worked with Dr. James following an elbow arthroscopy and hamstring injury from Judo. He is extremely knowledgeable and continues to research and learn, ensuring that he is always up to date with the current practices and methodologies. Dr. James is extremely kind and genuinely cares about his patients, bringing a positive and encouraging attitude to every single appointment and patiently answering all questions and providing helpful suggestions. He works extremely hard to make sure that you receive the best possible care

I (and my knees and arm) thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Complete Physical Rehab in Jersey City. Dr. James and Humberto and the rest of the staff created such a warm and welcoming environment perfect for rehabilitation. They spent plenty of time thoughtfully answering my questions and explaining complex ideas simply. They had everything I needed for my rehab, including (and I didn't even know this existed) an anti-gravity treadmill (Alter-G). It's really impressive!

I really enjoyed my experience at this office and would highly recommend it to everyone!

I had a nerve pinch around my shoulder last year and as a consequence had lost strength in my right hand and was suffering from pain that radiated from my shoulder to my arm. This over a period in time worsened and resulted in numbness on my fingers which were impacting everything that I did.
I went to Complete Rehab early this year and met Dr. Humberto who patiently heard my story and diagnosed issue with my neck and my right shoulder. He put me on a routine to do certain exercises, electrical stem, manual treatment etc which gradually eliminated numbness and pain that I was experiencing plus

I had such a great first experience at CPRNJ (Jersey City location) that I'm sure I'll be back again!

I came in to try their AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill (not for PT), and it was absolutely amazing! Basically, the AlterG is a treadmill with a huge kind of balloon compartment that fills up with air to decrease the force of gravity by as much as 20% to 100% of your body weight. Many people use it as part of their PT rehab, but they also treat and train athletes (especially runners) with this treadmill. The reduction of gravity lowers the amount of work and pressure exerted on your body

I had to write an update. I recently had to have major ankle surgery, where the doctor said I would need up to 6 months of intensive physical therapy, and no guarantee that I would be able to get back to running marathons. I so happy to report that not only am I back to running marathons, but it's almost like I never had surgery. I'm just so thankful to Dr. James and his staff. I really believe that his expertise, encouragement, and the AlterG machine really were the difference in getting me back to my normal life. My doctor is just amazed at how far I've come. To me, this

Very rude and unprofessional receptionist. Would not make an appointment without insurance number even though I told her I was in a lot of pain and could not get it during the call. I indicated the insurance name I had and in any case, would pay cash if they didn't accept my insurance. She was not logical in her response; very rude and just kept "stating policy" that she could not book appointment without first verifying insurance number. You just lost a client.

The face of your business should be kind and bright.

I went to see Complete when I had a badly herniated disc in my lower back. Paired with other conservative treatment (acupuncture and acupressure) I was doing at the time, the physical therapy was a huge help in relieving my pain and played a big role in eventually getting back to "normal." I was most impressed by Dr. Pumarada's calm and caring demeanor. He's got great bed-side manners and is very much an optimistic individual -- definitely helped me get through the sometimes challenging/uncomfortable exercises.
