First Move Physical Therapy combines the traditional services that physical therapy offers along with a strong emphasis on the timely treatment of painful conditions in an “urgent care” framework. Via “direct access” patients can be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist without a physician or other healthcare provider’s referral. In other words, First Move is an urgent care center for your aches and pains. With our decades of experience and specialized skill set, we provide a unique brand of physical therapy and rehabilitation to Northern New Jersey and beyond.
