Convergent Movement and Performance

"Dr. Ketselman is by far the best physical therapist I’ve ever been to and saved me from chronic pain. His personality is very uplifting and motivating, and he is incredibly intelligent and passionate about helping his patients. I was a competitive gymnast for my entire life until I developed pain in the middle of my spine spreading to my feet and hands. I went to a spine specialist straight away, got an MRI and nothing showed up abnormal and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. 6 years later, I went through many doctors for second opinions, physical therapy at various places, medications, etc, and nothing worked. I had to leave college because I was in so much pain. My dad and I got a hold of my MRI about a year ago, and saw that the MRI was taken of my lower back, that at least five doctors saw and said it looked fine knowing it was my lower back and not the middle. We rushed to find another doctor, found Dr. Casey at HSS, and she took a proper MRI of my spine. Found a herniated disc untreated for six years, and she recommended Dr. Ketselman. I left my first physical therapy appointment with him pain free. He also helped me prepare for my surgery for another untreated injury, and I was pain free three days post op. Now I am back in college, do the exercises Dr. Ketselman showed me every day, and live a pain free life that I never thought was possible. I highly recommend his practice!"

"I highly recommend Dr Gene Ketselman as a Physical Therapist who can help you improve your quality of life. I came to Dr Ketselman due to back and neck related pain. Before seeing Dr Ketselman, I had seen a Chiropractor for my back and neck pain and my pain levels did not improve at all. Then I decided to try physical therapy, although I was not sure what to expect. I then saw a Physical Therapist at a local center, which cost me a lot of money and did not help. After receiving a recommendation, I found Dr Gene Ketselman. He educated me in a way I could understand about how the body works and prescribed an exercise regimen for my back and neck pain, which after a couple of months of his care, dramatically improved. Dr Gene Ketselman helped me understand that my posture was causing the neck pain for which he taught me exercises that alleviated the pain significantly and in addition, my back pain disappeared completely. Also, the exercises provided by Dr ketselman help me know what to do if my neck pain comes back which reminds me to check my posture and make corrections. Dr Ketselman is a knowledgeable, passionate, and compassionate Physical Therapist who keeps the welfare of his patients at heart. He is an exceptional and outstanding Therapist who wants to make sure that your pain is properly diagnosed. He provides you with the tools and advice to help yourself in the future should the pain return. He does it with a good sense of humor and a smile! Not only did he help me improve overall pain and aches, and therefore my quality of life, but Dr Ketselman taught me what exercise to do when I have neck pain and how to test myself to better understand if the exercise I do helps me or makes it worst. Choosing Dr Ketselmann as your Physical Therapist may be one of the best decisions you ever make!"

"Dr. Gene Ketselman is hands down the most knowledgeable, patient, kind, devoted, energized physio (PT) and athletic trainer I have ever had. Dr. Ketselman has not only cured my chronic wrist and back injuries from fencing for 12+ years, but also guided me to complete recovery and strengthening of my ankle when I sprained it. Throughout the entire process, I never doubted him and was confident that I would not only heal, but come out stronger from my injuries. Moreover, Dr. Ketselman created a sport-specific strength and conditioning program that targeted my existing weakness and strength imbalances. Today I am a much stronger, balanced, and confident athlete achieving consistently high results at the national level. Most importantly, Dr. Ketselman takes a holistic approach to health, understanding pain, recovery, strengthening, and high athletic performance. Some of the most important things I’ve learned from him includes mindfulness, meditation, and how to train focus so that I can elevate the mental aspect of competitive performance. I’m grateful for the time and effort Dr. Ketselman has spent understanding my body and the unique sport of fencing. Dr. Ketselman pours his 200% into every patient, and I will forever be grateful for his impact on me as an athlete and person. Even after leaving NJ, I only trust Dr. Ketselman and continue to seek his expertise in both PT work and sport training. Don’t wait, reach out to Dr. Ketselman today!!"

"Dr. Ketselman has helped my young gymnast significantly, with injury recovery, strengthening and preventative care. My shy daughter felt comfortable with him quickly. We both highly recommend him!"

"We would be lost without Dr. Ketselman. As a parent to two very active pre-teen / teen athletes, Dr. Ketselman is our "go-to" for all things injury prevention and injury rehabilitation. What sets Dr. Ketselman apart, besides his incredible knowledge and experience, is his empathic and compassionate nature in how he builds relationships with his clients. Both of my athletes have been educated and empowered to advocate for their wellness in their sport and beyond."
