Within a week of having total hip replacement surgery, I started going to Rutherford Physical Therapy. Now, less than two months later, I have completed my therapy sessions. John has restored my strength, flexibility and most of all my confidence. He is extremely professional, kind and compassionate. As I am without pain now, I can go back to everything I could do before the hip pain started a year ago. I couldn't be more pleased.

Friendly, thorough, accommodating, knowledgable, and most importantly, helpful. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy.

Susan P Jun 12, 2019 I saw John to help me work through some crazy Post hip replacement challenges and a shoulder issue. When I first saw him in May I wasn't able to walk because of my balance and light headed events along without pain. He helped me be get to a point where I was walking unaided could live life with my limitation. Having autoimmune diseases changed our therapy modalities and he came up with a treatment plan to get me where I am six months later. He completed my treatment and worked with me with a home plan I am committed to follow to keep me healthy and continuing to strengthen my mobility to live a safe & healthy life. I would recommend him and his office to assist you to regain your healthy life to enjoy. A Doctor of Physical Therapy who is caring, concerned for his patients well being and who will stand up for his patients care.

I recently completed a course of physical therapy with John and I found his unassuming professionalism to be calming and reassuring. His administrator Kathy was wonderful to deal with always pleasant and friendly. THANK YOU for a positive experience!

My experience at Rutherford Physical Therapist was a wonderful one. I would definitely recommend. I'm very happy with the progress I made with the help of John's expertise. Great individual attention & excellent care. Kathy and John are such sweethearts. Thanks to John's help I'm able to walk without a limp and pain 😙🙂

I'm extremely happy with the progress I made in the few months at RPT. John's expertise helped increase my arm mobility and I was able to avoid shoulder surgery (thank you). The office is spotless and Kathy is a pleasure to deal with and both are very professional. A well deserved 5 star rating.

Mike and Natalie are amazing and returning me to health! Can’t thank them enough

He is kind and truthful, works with you to address all your needs.. kathy the do all receptionist is a added breath of fresh air. they are both a delite and a godsend! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, IM PLAYING GOLF AGAIN! :)

John Talty took the time to discuss my condition in-depth. He also made recommendations I could use at home which helped me to maintain my continued good health. He is professional, knowledgeable and people oriented. I have recommended John to some of my friends. They have been very satisfied with their results. Thank you John and Cathy !

Best experience with physical therapy. Wonderful people make you feel important. Would recommend to all,won't be dissatisfied. Sorry my treatment ended

a true professional! highly recommended! thanks for everything

John and Cathy are amazing ! He helped me get back to where my knee was before and was really understanding about certain things... thank you so much

Nice atmosphere, great individual attention, and excellent care!

John is the best, really knows what to do to help you and takes his time with each person. Would recommend to everyone. Always happy to see Cathy every day too. Should be rated best in NJ. Very helpful, very smart and very nice. Never rushed. Thank you John and Cathy

I had a wonderful experience with John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy. The place was very welcoming and bright. John was very professional, washing his hands and cleaning every area before treating patients. I felt like a valued patient and got to chat with other patients. His receptionist was very courteous and cordial. I looked forward to going to therapy and would strongly recommend it to others who need physical therapy.

In a word 'FANTASTICK"! John was great I always left there feeling much better... My shoulder and arm were in bad shape and John worked magic!!! A-PLUS .

I was 100% thrilled with the quality and professionalism of service I received from John and Cathy during my PT treatment. Equally important I had the outcome I had hoped for. John's treatment and exercises were challenging but never painful and they were varied and never boring. John and Cathy are very friendly and personable and provide a happy, stress-free PT environment. I whole heartedly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy.

This is the best experience to get after a surgery. John knows his stuff. This has helped me to a point we’re I can fully use my leg. Highly recommended 😀

Great place, clean and friendly! You won’t be disappointed!

Great office . Friendly staff and John is such a wonderful therapist. I recommend going there if you need physical therapy 👍

I went to John for my right shoulder after reading other's reviews. And, I was extremely happy I went. He is a true professional. He schedules just a few patients so that he can personally and carefully monitor each one. He explained things as we went along and monitored the progress. He is also extremely personable and very easy to talk to. We enjoyed conversing about different topics while I was doing my routine. At the end of the program, my shoulder had regained the strength and was comparable to my left one in movements. I highly recommend John.

I owe my excellent speedy recovery from a total hip replacement to John Talty, and the Rutherford Physical Therapy, LLC. His personalized approach to my physical therapy enabled me to get back on my feet quickly and gain the confidence I needed to take on my "life and work" routine. John addressed many of the side affects that follow THR surgery with a steady flow of exercises and much guidance. I am grateful for finding a practice that could afford me personal attention and regular progress in time. The facility is clean, the atmosphere is friendly and well equipped with a wide range of physical therapy devices.

Excellent, went there with a massive back pain & very stiff was not able to bend pass my hip, with his experience & Technics he was able get me pass my knees, & I'm able to go back to do my daily routine. Thank you for your service.

Thanks for getting my mother back on her feet! Highly recommended! Glad we were referred to you by our good friend!

When an injury, illness or accident occurs that leaves us unable to do things that we are used to doing it can be overwhelming. It can take its toll on us physically, mentally and emotionally. That is unless you are fortunate enough to be in the kind and very capable hands of John Talty of Rutherford Physical Therapy. Right away you know that you are not going through this ordeal alone. He understands the importance of providing both guidance and support. He is able to do this because he is extremely adept at the lost art of listening. When he has heard your questions and concerns John formulates a plan designed specifically for you. One of the reasons that John is so effective is his ability to explain in very understandable terms not only what he is trying to do but why. It rapidly becomes apparent you are not in this alone. Just as important as any of the equipment at Rutherford Physical Therapy is John’s personalized toolbox of treatment. It includes coaching,cajoling, pampering, pushing, comfort, confidence and so much more as needed on any given day. If you listen carefully during the often grueling process of rehabilitation you may hear that some of your favorite music is playing in the background. Without you realizing it John has extrapolated that information from you and has incorporated into creating an atmosphere that is designed to help you succeed. To the extent that it is possible he makes the painful almost pleasant. It is his attention to little details that makes such a big difference. If you are looking for a 5 Star therapist I suggest that you look elsewhere. But if your goals are loftier Rutherford Physical Therapy is the place for you. I only gave Dr. John Talty 5 Stars because they wouldn’t let me give him 10.

I started with John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy in October of 2016 after a bad accident at work. I started in therapy using a walker, graduated to a cane and now I am finally at the point where I do not to use my cane unless absolutely needed. From the day I started until 6/2/17 my last day has made the hardest time in my life hopeful and positive. I will be forever grateful to him for getting me almost back to normal. He always had the patients best interest at heart, pushing through boundaries without going over board, giving extra reinforcement when I was tired and felt like giving up. I would recommend anyone that needs therapy to go here!

"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.

The degree of professionalism was exceptional and the level of personal caring was exemplary. I needed both to heal and could not be more pleased with my experience with John. He seemed to be able to really listen to my concerns and then work with me to get results. He was always encouraging and yet honest with expectations. He definitely was THE one who got me to the level of healing to which I needed to be. Many Thanks John !!! Cathy is special. She is the person you want to deal with in this setting. She puts you at ease as soon as you enter the office and is as accommodating as humanly possible. She is a sweetheart. Thanks for you Cathy !!!

I have just completed three months of therapy at Rutherford Physical Therapy following surgery after a fall that resulted in a leg fracture. In those months I went from not being able to walk without crutches to being independent and managing stairs independently. John provides excellent personalized care and assigns exercises individualized to those under his care. He always has his eyes on each participant and was repeatedly able to provide suggestions to improve my sessions. I am thankful to both John and Cathy for their concern and their help. I have recommended Rutherford Physical Therapy to several friends and would be back if the need ever arose.

My experience at Rutherford Physical Therapist was a wonderful one. I would definitely recommend. I'm very happy with the progress I made with the help of John's expertise. Great individual attention & excellent care. Kathy and John are such sweethearts. Thanks to John's help I'm able to walk without a limp and pain 😙🙂

My problem was an up-and-down one with my knee, yet John was honest in his approach and would not continue if I felt that other options (surgery, after cortisone, gel-shots and PT) would be my ultimate recourse. Although I felt better after each visit, due to my situation it was short-lived, and, after a discussion with me, John was of the opinion that further therapy would just not help. I DID go to him for a previous lower back problem, and his rehab was right on the money (hence my return to him for additional PT). In fact, my very first visit was prompted by an overheard discussion in the elevator when a client was raving about her therapist at Rutherford Physical Therapy. Upon her "recommendation" I called when I needed PT - the rest is happy history.

I could not use my left arm for two years. rotator cup, and pinched nerve, after my therapy with John i am able to get my life back! He is a great physical therapist! He is kind and truthful, works with you to address all your needs.. kathy the do all receptionist is a added breath of fresh air. they are both a delite and a godsend! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, IM PLAYING GOLF AGAIN! :)

Great individual attention, excellent care. I recommend this place. Wonderful staff. Thank you John and Cathy.

This was my first experience having physical therapy after sustaining a knee injury and I was extremely impressed with John and his management of my treatment plan. The muscle strengthening and gait and balance exercises were remarkable! After only three weeks of the proposed four week plan, I was back to being able to do my power walking and actually increased the distance from two miles to four miles per day. And the emotional “high” of this achievement was so wonderful since I was unable to perform any power walking for almost two months. Now, feeling even stronger added a confidence and determination to continue all of the exercises at home to pursue exciting new work out interests such as hot yoga and Pilates. Thank you John for your utmost professionalism, and the skill and concern you express to your patients and the most pleasant environment that you have created to treat your patients in. Starting with the front end registration area and your receptionist, Cathy who is just the “finest” with her professional and friendly attitude. Having recently retired from working in a healthcare facility, I totally respect and admire the first contact a patient has with a provider. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy and my only regret is that my therapy has ended because it was such an enjoyable and educational experience!

Great Place to get better

John is an amazing 5herapist who truly cares for his patients. He allows suffice to time so you never feel rushed. If I ever needed therapy again I would come here.

Finally feeling relief from arthritis pain. Thank you Dr. Talty!

This is the second time that I have used Rutherford Physical Therapy and both times my experience was great. John is very helpful and spends lots of time making sure your rehab plan is individualized and right for you. John is very helpful and flexible with scheduling. I would 100% recommend and if I need PT again I will return here!

John Talty is a wonderful therapists who really cares about his patients. His treatment of and communication with patients is exemplary; his skills and knowledge are beyond compare. John schedules his appointments with enough time to help each patient. I never felt neglected or rushed. The atmosphere at Rutherford Physical Therapy is so positive! Most importantly, everyone John treats leaves with a feeling of hope and the certainty that their lives will be better. I would highly recommend John to anyone.

That John Talty truly wants to help people is most evident. He is a knowledgeable, warm and caring professional. John schedules appointments to allow for maximum personal attention to each client. You never feel like just a number. The environment is clean and calming unlike some other facilities which can seem hectic. Not only did John help alleviate my neck pain, but provided an honest evaluation as to realistic expectations which was greatly appreciated. Rutherford Physical Therapy is highly recommended.

While attending therapy at Rutherford Physical Therapy I was relaxed and would leave there feeling so much stronger and better. I cannot say enough about John, excellent therapist!! I continue to do my exercises now at home and I must admit I do feel a difference. So happy I kept the add placed in Bergenite Newspaper. I have recommended Rutherford Physical Therapy to several friends already. John is so warm and welcoming, he truely loves what he does. He shows he cares for his patients. Thanks John.

John, is the model service all others are trying to achieve. He is the best at what he does, and I have other PT and medical service experience that has been provided to me as a customer to compare him too and he is very good. His politeness, professionalism and the personal attention is the best. You will not go wrong in using his services. You will be more than impressed.

This is not a one size fits all therapist. John treats each patient as an individual and puts in time to find the best line of treatment for you. No one compares to John in terms of care and knowledge. Nice looking facility and very friendly atmosphere.

I went for physical therapy 6 weeks ago for a tear in my rotator cuff. My shoulder had so much discomfort I had trouble sleeping and could not throw a ball. After the therapy my shoulder feels great and I am sleeping through the night . I can now have a catch with my son with no pain . Thanks to John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy.

I have just completed more than 12 weeks of physical therapy for a knee replacement with John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy. John made my long and sometimes very difficult recuperation, an extremely positive experience. Always being supportive and understanding, he listened to my concerns and continually had an encouraging solution to address each of them. He motivated me during each visit to push and do a bit more. Never pushing me past my limit and always concerned for how I was feeling and my level of pain. I left each therapy session uplifted and wanting to push on. Through John's direction and strengthening/flexibility exercises, I am able to walk up and down a flight of stairs, (step-over-step), for the first time in many years. Now that I have achieved my first goal, I will continue to work toward my second goal..skiing this winter! Thank you, John for helping to make these goals attainable. If you need a physical therapist, I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy. John is outstanding!

I just completed my therapy session yesterday. I am very happy and satisfied with the service / treatment I got from this place. Dr. John B Talty is very caring, friendly and professional person. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for high quality professional treatment. Rajesh

I am more than happy that I chose Rutherford Physical Therapy and had the opportunity to meet such an excellent physical therapist, John Talty. I found him to be highly knowledgeable, caring, confident, friendly and most importantly, focused on my individual need. The treatment he developed for my pain truly reduced the discomfort that I was experiencing for some time. I cannot thank him enough.

I have been to different therapists over the last seven years. Never have I had a therapist like John Talty. He gave me individualized attention that I truly needed and the courage to do all that was required of me. He is warm, compassionate and knew exactly how to treat my condition. Rutherford Physical Therapy is not like any other place I attended. John gives all of his patients a personal touch. Today being my last session with John made me sad, I cried all the way home. I feel like I lost a friend as opposed to being happy that I'm finished. I know that if I need him for anything he will be here for me. I would recommend him to any one in need of therapy.

John is a sensational Physical Therapist.Very approachable and flexible. Best PT I've had yet.

John was very friendly & professional. Working with John was easy, he took time to help me get the most of my therapy sessions. John had given me the best program for getting me back to before my surgery. John knew when I needed an extra push and when I couldn't go any more. I came in needing a cane and left walking almost 100% of my normal ability.

I had significant pain and restricted movement in my injured shoulder. One orthopedist recommended surgery and another recommended 8 weeks of PT. I really wanted to avoid surgery and John was on board with the plan. John is compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled and creative. I am really happy with my recovery and want to thank John for his amazing work!

I have just completed six weeks of physical therapy with John Talty, owner, Rutherford Physical Therapy. John's dedication and attention to each person in his care is second to none. He was treating me for a painful knee injury. My progress to recovery was steady, with improvement each week. After six weeks of physical therapy, I am now pain free thanks to John. The care that I received at Rutherford Physical Therapy was the best PT that I have experienced. John's dedication to his clients is one of total attention to each person he is working with. There are very few patients in a session which allows him to devote his time to each individual. He is very caring, listens, and is completely dedicated to providing optimum care to each patient. I would definitely recommend John to anyone in need of physical therapy. I give Rutherford Physical Therapy a five star rating.

i had a left Hip Replacement Dec 9th 2015 and John from Rutherford Physical Therapy came to my house Dec 12th to get me started in my rehabilitation. From the beginning there was progress as he had me to Exercises and helped with Stretching. By the 2nd or 3rd visit i was starting to walk better even though its a process. I continued with John up until 3rd week of February 2016 and i felt Strong, i was able to go up and down Stairs with no holding etc and overall felt good. I started back in Crossfit after that so he had me Mentally and Physically prepared for all that has come my way since the Surgery. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone, he is very informative about the rehab process with mine about the Hip of course and if ever in the future i need any kind of Physical Therapy i will contact John.

I have been to many therapist this by far was my best experience ever it was a pleasure to being at this facility I was never rushed , I was worked to a point where my leg has no problems he was very professional and thorough . I would recommend him to anyone needing this service.

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.

I've had a long lasting back issue that has required 14 surgical interventions with a few of those being lumbar fusions. I've tried different therapies and therapists before, but Rutherford Physical Therapy was perfect for me. John's individualized care and approach is second to none. He is very knowledgable and goes above and beyond to help his patients get better. I have truly never met such a caring and compassionate person like him before. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering in pain.

I saw John from Rutherford Physical Therapy for chronic pain in my back and joints. I had back surgery 15 years ago and over the past 2-3 years I experienced an increase in pain. At first I was a bit skeptical about physical therapy because I've gone to those name brand chains in the past and the results were minimal. This time however, I chose Rutherford Physical Therapy and couldn't be happier. John was my therapist and he listened closely to my concerns and modified the exercises to address my needs. No two days were the same and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy to anyone seeking rehabilitation treatments.

John at Rutherford Physical Therapy is simply the best. He was able to help me get my shoulder back to good working order in no time. Thru a series of appointments we went from severe pain in my shoulder to myself being able to throw a ball again. The slip on the ice in March caused a tear in my shoulder. John was able to diagnose it right away and get me on a treatment schedule. In a very professional work space John had me put the time and effort in to heal my shoulder in a very short amount of time. I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy. You will know you picked the right therapist from the minute you meet John in his fantastic new office space.

When I first came to Rutherford Physical Therapy I was being treated at a different facility for quite a number of weeks without any noticeable improvement. My first visit I could barely walk, getting out up out of a chair was a challenge. I had injured my knee, later to find out I had burst Bakers Cysts. I began seeing John three times a week. Within a few weeks I was walking better, had significantly less pain and was riding a stationary bike. During a yoga teacher training program I further injured myself. The doctors told me I had torn an abdominal muscle. While I hadn't finished PT for my knee, John began incorporating exercises for my torn muscle as well. I was in PT for quite some time, however it going to see John on the recommendation of a friend was probably the best thing I could have ever done. By the time I graduated from Physical therapy I was able to run for a full 4 minutes, while this may not be much to many it is a large achievement for me. I would never have been able to do that if not for all the top notch physical therapy I received. There are so many talented therapists out there, however, when one goes to Rutherford Physical Therapy that person will not only heal the physical ailments but will also have a friend. John Talty is not only an extremely talented therapist but kind, compassionate and truly loves what he does. It is so evident in the care that is given that John has found his true calling. John always has a kind word and an easy smile. I would never go anywhere else ever again.

He was wonderful. Very respectful and kind. He knew how to push me in the right way. It's because of him that I'm back on my feet and moving well. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. I would very highly recommend him to anyone.

I've had the pleasure working with John Talty to get my left leg and knee stronger and I couldn't be more happier with the results. He helped me get back into running shape and all of my aches and pains went away. He is very knowledgeable about the human body and knows what he is talking about when it comes to rehabilitation. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for results.

John Tully's care was instrumental in my recovery after being bedridden in Intensive Care for 11 days in the hospital. John developed a program that was specific to my situation, using his wealth of knowledge to get me back where I could function my daily duties. John was punctual, always pleasant in his demeanor, professional, caring, and never rushed through the PT session. Thanks to John's first rate service, I will also consider Rutherford Physcial Therapy for any physcial therapy needs in the future

John was so great with my 6 year old daughter. She was so comfortable with him and he treated her with great care! She likes going to therapy. He has made her rehabilitation process a positive and enjoyable experience.

John's knowledge seems endless and always treats the problem that I am having at the time I arrive until I finally leave. I go away knowing he cares about me like he has only one patient. He has treated me with his hands as well as his mind and like I am his friend.

Had my second knee replacement and received physical therapy for both knees. My experience has been with two therapist , Dr. John Talty gave me in house and office treatment .It was exceptional . I would highly recommend "Rutherford Physical Therapy" to any one that needs it, Very professional and individual hands on treatment. Five stars in my book.

I went to John after suffering nerve damage to my leg during labor. I was unable to walk, go up and down stairs, I would fall with out notice. I was using a walker to get around. John worked with me and after about 4 weeks of therapy I regained the use of my leg. He was professional and caring. He gave me excersises that were helpful and useful. I would definatly recommend John and Rutherford PT.

John is an outstanding physical therapist. His small practice gives you individual attention. I had a hamstring injury which is now fully recovered. I highly recommend him.

I started coming to Rutherford Physical Therapy because of a surgery I had, do to a torn pec. The doctor told me I would be out of work for 6 months. Rutherford Physical therapy had me back to work inside of 4. And I feel great. Thank you, John you made the process much easier, I feel stronger now then I ever did!
