Why Our Pediatrics?

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy treat a wide range of diagnoses so your child is treated with compassion and understanding as our Doctors guide them through every step of the rehabilitation process. We understand the importance of targeted, unique, and age-appropriate interventions in order to optimize success. Our lead Doctor of Physical Therapy is the only double board-certified Pediatric specialist on the East Coast.

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy will create a plan that is individualized.

We create individualized plans as unique as our pediatric patients. In working with the child and their family, we assist each child to reach their maximum potential to function independently and to promote active participation at home, in school, and in the community. We will provide a plan to support each child and help them succeed outside of the clinic. NJCPT’s Board-Certified Doctors of Physical Therapy are here for you to create lasting results.

Patient Stories

Paramus PT has the most warm, welcoming, and professional environment. ALEXA is an amazing pediatric PT who was successful in every way, as she worked with my 8 month old grandson. Her extensive knowledge, experience, and natural instincts while working with babies, was demonstrated throughout each visit. She was supportive and upbeat as she successfully met all of the goals she set out to achieve with my grandson. I highly recommend making a PT appointment with ALEXA so you can benefit from her skills, expertise, and kindness.

We are so lucky we found Paramus Orthopedic Physical Therapy and Dr. Alexa Schaefer. My daughter suffered a stress fracture in her femur, a devastating injury for a runner. Dr. Alexa not only helped her regain her strength physically but was also so kind and caring with a sixteen year old who was missing her sport a lot. I can't say enough about Dr. Alexa and the whole team at Paramus Orthopedic Physical Therapy. An outstanding group of caring, supportive, encouraging professionals that gave my daughter the tools and plan for recovery.

Druing these uncertain times, I feel safe having my baby come here! They have created a medical safe zone against COVID19. With three hospital grade air filtration systems, the UVC light that kills airborne pathogens and the top of the line face masks given to each patient among their other meassures, this place really is the safest.

I am so pleased with NJ Center for Physical Therapy that I started having my 13 year old son come in for therapy on his knee. I would definitely recommend this center to anyone!

I started receiving treatment when I was a Sophomore in High School after injuring my hamstring. My physical therapist, Dr. Christopher Rago helped me with my injury and welcomed me into NJCPT family. I cannot say enough good things about Chris. He is one the most informative, smart, kind, and friendly people I have ever met (along with the rest of the crew).

There is so much amazing things I can say about this place! After weeks of research for my 5 year old daughter. I decided on Paramus Orthopedic Physical Therapy. I am so happy I decided to go here. I felt part of the team/family.

Paramus Orthopedic Physical Therapy is the BEST! 3 weeks after spraining my ankle, I’m ready to start playing soccer again! I’ve also been here for a number of other injuries and always leave feeling 100% better. They have such a wonderful, kind, and caring staff. POPT provides the absolute best care for any injury.
