Helping You Live Pain-Free

I cannot recommend SEVA PT enough! I had a labral tear surgery done on my left shoulder last November and went to SEVA PT for recovery. Gaurav took the time to diagnose my strength and range of motion (ROM) levels, identifying areas that need particular attention and explaining everything very clearly and succinctly in the process. We then came up…

– Abhinav S

Gaurav has been extremely helpful and through in the treatment he offered. He took his time to first analyze the problem and then suggested a course of action. Gaurav did not jump to starting the therapy right away he recommended we visit a vascular surgeon and have a diagnosis done. This was a blessing because that eliminated the pain in…

I have been having back pain on and off for 5 years now. I tried different physical therapies, but provided only temporary relief.

– Robbana K.

I would give 6 stars if that was an option! That was how I impressed and satisfied I was with Seva. Gaurav is an extremely competent, knowledgeable and caring physiotherapist. He provides 1-on-1 individual physiotherapy sessions with very competent rates, and even though it might be an out-of-network insurance for some, it is most definitely worth the extra cost (if…

– Roop G.

Gaurav gave me very quick relief from many years of shoulder pain when doctors and other therapists could not.

– Terrence T.

Gaurav is extremely professional and at the same time provides very personalized service. He worked on my lower back pain. He not only correctly diagnosed but also provided accurate exercises.

FAQs

Do I need a referral from my physician to get started?

Nope! New Jersey is a direct access state. Patients can go directly to a physical therapist without a physician’s referral and receive treatment for up to 30 days. 

What makes SEVA different from other traditional physical therapy clinics?

Personalized care. Superior results.

We provide one-on-one sessions with a board-certified specialist who will design a customized plan for your problem to get you better in the least number of visits possible. Many patients experience improvement after the first visit itself. We were recognized in the Top 1% of all practices in the country in 2023 for the most effective and efficient orthopedic care by the renowned FOTOTM organization.

Treatment is provided in private rooms, and visits are only scheduled as needed to build upon the improvement made in the previous sessions. The home program is customized, simple and usually involves only one exercise or position to be repeated a few times daily.

You are never alone in your recovery. Communicate with our specialist via a secure text-based app between your visits, after hours, and on weekends with any questions or concerns!

Experience top-notch care to reach your goals quickly and conveniently with less time away from home or work.

Why is one-on-one care so important?

Insurance reimbursement and pre-certification limitations have forced most national and regional ‘chain’ clinics and physician-owned practices to schedule multiple patients at once with a single therapist to keep the business afloat. Detailed assessments and hands-on treatments take a back seat while care is assigned to assistants and technicians with generic exercises to keep you ‘busy’. No wonder so many patients are either stuck in therapy for months or quit for lack of improvement.

Does your hairstylist work with two other clients at the same time? Then why should you compromise with the shared attention of your therapist when your health is at stake?

We refuse to play this high-volume game and only prioritize your recovery which deserves our utmost attention to help you get back to your previous self in the most efficient manner possible.

Do you accept my insurance?

Yes. We are in-network with PPO/POS plans of most commercial payers like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Amerihealth, to name a few. We are a Medicare-participating provider as well. 

We accept HSA/FSA and all major credit/debit cards. We also offer flexible payment plans if you’re uninsured, or your plan doesn’t have physical therapy benefits.

I’ve tried physical therapy and other treatments in the past which didn’t help. How will coming to you be any different?

Our unique assessment enables us to establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between your symptoms and movements to determine whether your pain and loss of function are due to a structural, mechanical, or chemical issue. This methodology is highly reliable in identifying the true source of your problem and over 90% of spine and extremity pain patients respond favorably to our approach. 

When your condition is deemed inappropriate for mechanical therapy, a prompt referral to a more suitable medical professional is advised. 

What to expect on the first visit?

We will have a conversation about your pain, limitations, and specific goals. We will then get into a detailed movement assessment to determine the source of your symptoms. We will give you a clear answer to what you have, what you need to do about it, and how long it would take to resolve your condition. All treatments begin on the first visit itself.
