Resilient Performance Physical Therapy

BUSINESS PROFILE - By Chatham Living

Resilient Performance Physical Therapy, located at The Annex Sports Performance Center on Passaic Avenue in Chatham, offers individualized, 1-on-1, 60-minute sports medicine and physical therapy sessions to the community. Resilient Doctors of Physical Therapy bring to the Chatham and Madison areas their professional experience with teams and individuals from the MLB, NBA, NFL, Olympics, MLL, NCAA, FBI, US Special Forces, and more.

Established in 2015 and growing from its first location in midtown Manhattan, Resilient’s team members each began their careers first in strength and conditioning which led them to their current roles as performance-based physical therapists. Competing in college athletics including baseball, football, and tennis, Resilient’s staff found themselves each battling various injuries rising through the ranks which piqued their interest in sports medicine early on. Their desire to improve their athletic performance strongly influenced their path of study as strength and conditioning professionals before attending Columbia University's Physical Therapy school.

Resilient's mission is to build independence and confidence in each patient’s ability to help achieve their physical goals. They believe a therapist’s role is to both educate and guide every individual to build a better, more resilient version of themselves to avoid injury and succeed in any physical goal they have. They get to the bottom of any problem and build you up to turn your weaknesses into strengths.

Whether it’s seeing themselves in their young athletic population or feeling a sense of pride in caring for members of the military and law enforcement, they draw inspiration from the great people they are privileged to influence each day. Not only with the above populations, they enjoy the chance to positively affect any person’s enjoyment of life through movement and find a calling to improve the overall wellbeing of the communities they feel lucky to be a part of. Whether the goal is rehabbing post surgery or prehabbing to avoid it, they love the opportunity to help all people move better with less pain and with greater ability than they originally had.

Though they welcome all new patients, owners Greg and Trevor believe it’s important that no matter who you choose for your care you shouldn’t be focused on all the negatives and things “wrong with you.” The human body is not so fragile and most patients have more positives going for them than they believe.

Some of the most fun they have at work is simply getting to know the people they encounter from the community. Just about 18 months ago they were warmly welcomed into the community at The Annex Sports Performance Center where they operate Resilient’s NJ location. The kind staff and membership quickly made the new business relationship into a friendly and personal one and they now join them for seasonal get-togethers each year. Hanging out and meeting new members at the gym is always enjoyable.

Resilient accepts most major medical insurances while striving to be as cost and time effective for our clients as possible. Free consults are also offered when you are currently dealing with an injury or would like to learn more about what we can do to help avoid an injury.
