Go see Lauren! I was very close to having knee surgery when a friend recommended I go see Lauren first. Thankfully I did and a month or so later, I was pain free! And still am two years later. I’ve been back for some other minor issues (shoulder/heel) which she has also remedied. She clearly communicates what you need to do after every appointment – including videos to show proper movement. She is truly amazing! Thank you Lauren!
Here is our @totalptnj ‘front desk staff’ answering an email remotely from a client trying to schedule an appointment ASAP.
Hint: we have NO front desk staff. We have NO answering service. We have YOUR physical therapist answering YOUR email and or phone call & working with YOU to coordinate services. That’s how we roll folks!
This plate is up on our wall in our Summit office. Can you spot the #diaphragm? Why do we keep chatting about this mystery #muscle 💪🏼 ?
Note the arrows. . .
**R side is higher then the L. (Red)
**attachments to the back muscles (yellow).
**much larger anchor on the R side of lumbar side (green).
The diaphragm integrates a lot with many contractile and non-contractile tissues. It’s uneven set-up creates normal imbalances in the anatomy of the body – this creates undo torque that in-turn may cause you to compensate and move in abnormal patterns that you are not aware of.
If you don’t know how to breathe properly during specific movements then you are going to have a problem☝️
Do you know how to inhale and exhale properly when you are performing “_______?”
In 2002 I met Mark Neilan & the journey began in Bernardsville, NJ. Almost 18 years later, Excel Fitness Center & @Total Physical Therapy are still going strong 💪🏼.

My 14 year old daughter sustained a ACL tear playing soccer. She was able to work with Dimitry Polyakov after her ACL reconstruction surgery.
Dimitry was absolutely amazing with her during her rehabilitation! After 4 months of Physical Therapy she is ready to return to playing soccer and lacrosse!
Even her Orthopedic Surgeon (Hospital for Special Surgery) commented on the great progress she made with Dimitry while in Physical Therapy.
Thank you for everything Dimitry!!!
I highly recommend Dimitry and Total Physical Therapy to all.
