maven Specialities:

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy welcome and treat orthopedic and neurological patients with all types of diagnoses and involved body parts (including chronic diagnoses and pain associated with the spine). Our areas of specialty lie particularly in treating post-surgical and exercise/sports-related injuries in young athletes, pediatric patients, and the over 40 population.

The m.a.v.e.n. Approach:

m anual
Maven employs a variety of skilled, hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, soft-tissue mobilization, and sports massage based on your individual needs. We also employ manipulation ('adjustment') techniques for the thoracic spine when indicated.

a ctive
Our approach entails combining our hands-on skills with movement, making for a very active and engaging one-one session.
You will notice very quickly even during your first treatment session that Maven really gets you moving.

v alid
We provide treatment that is functional, relevant (to your goals/needs), and effective. We avoid using methods of care that are out-dated, unsubstantiated, or simply useless. Maven supports its clinical decision-making with evidence obtained from the best clinical research and professional experience. We also draw extensively from our applied use of fundamental concepts in functional anatomy, biomechanics, and movement analysis.

e ducate
Maven thrives on educating people on how to better their health through injury prevention, exercise, and nutrition. We believe that our patients will obtain the best, long-lasting outcomes if they are guided to take ownership of their own health. Whether you are 6 years old or 60 years old, we can teach you how to make wise decisions regarding your physical health.

n etwork

There's more to life than just rehab. As a community-minded entity, we make it a priority to participate in local community activities and events. Both Taylor and Jerry have a sincere desire to make a healthful difference in the Paramus community and the greater Bergen county. Our conviction is that when we take care of our community, the community takes care of us.
