What does a treatment session look like? 

Dr. Dave Garaffa will provide the treatment table and any equipment you may need for the session. If you have exercise equipment that is great and it can be incorporated into your sessions and home exercises. 

Why Choose Physically Sound?

Dr. Dave treats you, not your shoulder, knee or hip. He recognizes the complexity of being in pain - the psychological, social, physical and metabolic circumstances associated. Dr. Dave is a doctor of physical therapy - you will work with him and no aide or assistant. 

Do I need a script to go to PT?

No. In the state of New Jersey we have direct access. This means you may receive physical therapy treatment directly without a physical referral for any injury or movement condition you may have. Depending on the complexity of your condition Dr. Dave may refer you to someone in his excellent network of professionals. 

How often do I need to come to PT?

A typical outpatient, insurance-based clinic will push to have you come in 2-3 times per week. Because Physically Sound sessions are so focused, involved and individualized you will need to have sessions far less frequently. This gives you more flexibility to take care of the things you need to do, it saves you travel time and it is much more convenient.

How long until I’m better?

Typically 4-8 treatments are all that may be needed. Type of injury, age, and several other factors may play a role in your recovery journey.

Why don’t you accept insurance?

The traditional model of medicine and physical therapy is dictated by insurance providers. The top-down pressure necessitates clinics to see 3-4 patients at the same time where most treatment is provided by support staff. Physically Sound does not have an aide - all services are provided one-on-one by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No time is wasted in your PT sessions with modalities (heat, ice, etc) or with exercises that are simply a reiteration of what you can do on your own.
