Rutherford Physical Therapy, LLC

"John helped me focus on the troubled area, managing the problem. If you listen, you'll be back in shape! Excellent therapy!"

John and the office are both fantastic! Today was my last day of physical therapy and I can honestly say that I will miss him and the place. Its pleasant, clean, the building is easy to find, there's lots of parking, and the office has all the equipment you need. If you or anyone you know needs therapy after an injury or surgery this is definitely the place to be! John always listens, encourages you, and makes sure every problem you came in with on the first visit is solved by the last visit. He always found time to see me and always made every visit as pleasant as the first.

John Talty was my physical therapist for eight months while I struggled with extreme muscle weakness brought on by an auto-immune disease. When I started with John, I couldn't drive, cook, play tennis, work... all activities I had previously enjoyed. With his help, I have gotten back to a normal life.

He is a unique therapist who combines professional expertise, creativity and interpersonal skills to produce solid results. He knows when to push, when to back off, when to mix things up a bit and, most importantly, he knows how to listen. He knows how to encourage and motivate the most dispirited client. I truly hate the gym but continue to go because John convinced me how important it would be for maintaining my health and strength going forward.

I'm grateful to John for helping me to get my life (and tennis game!) back, and I recommend him heartily and without reserve. If I find myself in need of a physical therapist again, John will be the one I will call.

John is a very competent and caring physical therapist. He takes the time to listen as you describe your symptoms and uses his expert knowledge to build a therapy plan that both eases your discomfort and helps you rebuild your strength. He guides the recovery process and helps you build a ongoing program that works for you so you can continue to grow stronger and maintain the gains you made while under his care.

I had a procedure on my foot last October which caused a very painful nerve condition I have called CRPS to flare up. The subsequent pain kept me house bound and unable to walk or stand for very long. I became generally weak and de-conditioned. Because of this painful condition I am very hesitant to do physical therapy because in the past some therapist have not understood my condition and chronic pain. I found them unable to break from their preset protocol and adjust to my condition and individual needs. By ignoring the need for me to build slowly or adjust the movement in a different way, I was often pushed so hard that I ended up getting hurt and forced to discontinue my therapy.

John came highly recommended to me and I found him to be very talented therapist- knowledgeable about chronic pain and rehabilitation, minus the "no pain no gain" philosophy which has left me worse off in the past. He was patient and willing to listen to my concerns. He was able to design a program that helped me increase my strength without flaring the nerve disorder. If a particular exercise was too uncomfortable or difficult he would adjust the positioning or exercise so that I was still able to strengthen the weakened muscle without causing injury. It was a team effort and I was very pleased with the overall progress that I made.

I am planning on calling on him again after the next attempt to fix my foot condition and I would recommend him to a friend or family member.
