Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
The team at R.E.P.P. Lab has worked with individuals who have undergone the full range of orthopedic surgeries and helped countless people navigate through their recovery process. There is nothing we haven't seen and our 20+ years of experience working with the surgeons at HSS has well-equipped us to help guide you through the surgical recovery process from beginning to end
Injury Management
Sustaining an injury is scary. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury or have had persistent symptoms, we can help you navigate and guide you to an optimal recovery. If physical therapy is not appropriate, we can help you decide the best provider for you to see.
Return to Sport Assessment
The process of returning to sport or activity can be daunting. Our knowledge-base and experience allow us to employ the relevant, data-informed benchmarks that need to be achieved to help ensure as successful of a return as possible.
Performance Testing
We can work with you to identify the appropriate performance tests that will help you achieve any of your fitness or performance goals.
These results are crucial in informing a training program tailored to suit your needs and injury history.
Running Performance
Whether you're new to running, a seasoned runner, or are recovering from a running-related injury, we have helped runners of all levels achieve their running goals. In addition to a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment, we offer a suite of run performance tests that can be implemented to help you meet your running goals.
Our process is more than a video running analysis, it integrates your physical performance with your run performance results to gain insight on what areas to develop.
Virtual/Telehealth Appointments
Virtual appointments are available as appropriate. These appointments can supplement in-person care or can serve as a primary mode of delivery. Virtual appointments offer the benefits of flexibility without compromising the quality of your care.

They have a combined 20+ years of experience working with the surgeons and orthopedists at HSS and have educated and mentored rehabilitation professionals through their involvement in professional education, residency training, and faculty roles in graduate degree programs.
Convenience
As a mobile practice, we offer the flexibility to provide care in your home, office, or virtually to suit your schedule and needs.
We will work closely with you to accommodate your schedule and offer a variety of packages without compromising on the quality of care.
Data Driven
Much like using a spatula doesn't automatically make you a world class chef, having the latest technology is not enough if you don't know how to use and utilize the technology appropriately and responsibly.
Our training and background with the use of current technology including force plates, dynamometers, and motion analysis, give us the ability to identify treatment targets to develop an individualized plan of care.

At R.E.P.P. Lab, you will have access to more time and tools than what you may have experienced in the past, allowing for a truly individualized program.

No Gimmicks

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
We do not accept insurance, but can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance provider if you have out-of-network benefits
Is cash-based better?
Not necessarily. Our main goal is to ensure that our clients are achieving the outcomes they want, even if that's not with us.
If you have had success and a good experience with a traditional, insurance-based PT in the past, R.E.P.P. Lab may not be the right fit for you.
We believe that being cash-based allows us to provide care at a level and standard that cannot be accomplished in traditional settings.
What are the benefits of being cash-based?
We believe the constraints of an insurance-based practice are not conducive to the level of care and attention we provide. A traditional insurance-based model can typically only focus on one body region or diagnosis at a time.
We understand the importance of evaluating the whole person and insurance-based models do not allow us the time necessary to go through our comprehensive evaluation process to determine the optimal care plan.
How much do your services cost?
We offer pricing plans that vary based on your needs and goals. Several package and subscription options are available for our physical therapy and performance services to fit most budgets.
Schedule a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.
Where are you located?
We primarily serve northern New Jersey for in-person appointments, but can provide services throughout state on a case-by-case basis.
Virtual visits can be an option as appropriate for individuals who live further away.
How long do appointments last?
We structure our sessions based on outcomes and goals rather than time. However, initial evaluations and performance assessments are typically 60-90 mins. and follow-up appointments are 45-60 mins.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No, in NJ you can see a licensed physical therapist directly for 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first.
If you require further referral to a medical doctor, we have worked closely and have relationships with many of the top surgeons and orthopedists at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
