RX Physical Therapy

Dr. Alex is a Physical Therapist in Wayne NJ who specializes in helping youth athletes, young adults, and avid gym goers eliminate pain, restore function, and perform at the highest level they want to achieve.

Alex was a competitive gymnast from age 5-17 and had a series of injuries that eventually prevented her from returning to sport. As a young adult she was able to restore her function through weight lifting and cross fit type workouts to stay healthy and remain in the gym. She understands how devastating an injury or pain can be and how it affects a person’s identity.

She became a Physical Therapist to learn the tools and techniques that will help all athletes and adults stay in their sport or in the gym. She has a passion for identifying the root cause of the issue and then creating a specific mobility and exercise routine to get athletes and adults back to their sport or activity as soon as possible. Her main goal is to provide a framework of tools that clients can use for the rest of their lives to stay active, be healthy, and achieve their highest goals!

I’ve been at this for a while now and what I’ve realized is that people don’t really care if they’re in pain 😅
-
If they did people would never wait 2 months, 6 months, or 2 years 🤯 to get treatment.
-
What I’ve noticed is that people come to me for help when their pain impedes their ability to participate in what they love to do.
-
This might be going for a hike, taking a group fitness class with your friends, or walking up and down the field coaching your kid’s soccer game.
-
The most important thing is realizing that everyone wants their pain to go away, but that is not what determines the most successful outcome.
-
Make sure that your provider is having that detailed conversation with you and everyone is clear on what the REAL goal is!

…
Meet Dr. Andrew Kelley, the newest addition to the RX Physical Therapy team!
…

Dr. Andrew is a physical therapist that specializes in providing care to "athletes" looking to take their game to the next level. Andrew's definition of an "athlete" is if you breathe, eat, and move you are an athlete specific to what motivates you. Whether it's weekend warrior or getting back to college baseball, he tailors a program based on your needs through objective data and your goals to level up.

He understands it's not just "feeling better" that keeps you in the game. Performance is key when it comes to game time and how you train/educate yourself in the off-season creates your best ability-availability. You can't help yourself get to your goals or contribute to your team being on the bench. The funny thing about the off-season, there isn't one. We have different seasons we'll encounter as an athlete, but to create that edge that makes you standout is to continue to get better everyday even if it's by 1%.

As a former college athlete, Andrew understands what it takes to get to the next level. He has experience working with numerous populations from grade school level to the professional realm.

Education: Rutgers University DPT 2015/University of Delaware B.S 2011

Favorite Sport: Football, Basketball & Baseball

Favorite Quote: Excellence is the difference between what I do and what I am capable of.

📍DOES YOUR BACK HURT WHEN YOU DEADLIFT?📍
-
Over the years I’ve helped hundreds of people just like you.
-
They skip deadlift day, or feel like they always have to wear a belt, or they can never push past that ONE WEIGHT, and it drives them nuts.
-
They can push in almost every other lift but the deadlift always seems to knock them down.
-
What I’ve realized is there are 3 main things that you need to assess and address in order to have a PERFECT, PAIN FREE deadlift.
-
I’m giving these secrets away for FREE.
-
Join me on May 21st at 11:30 AM to learn how to eliminate back pain with your deadlift.

🗣WE HELP OUR PATIENTS ACHIEVE WHAT OTHERS TOLD THEM IS IMPOSSIBLE🗣
-
That is really what it boils down to.
-
My patient’s tell me way too often that they’ve been told never to squat again and that it is bad for their knees.
-
I have lost count of how many times the same person is back squatting their body weight 3 weeks later.
-
Same thing goes for deadlifts or overhead pressing.
-
There is no such thing as a dangerous movement. However, there are movements that your body may not be ready for.
-
What do we do that is different?
-
1️⃣We find out why those movements are painful.
-
2️⃣We explain to you why your body feels the way it does.
-
3️⃣We lay out the entire plan so you can see how you are going to achieve your goals.

This is one of my favorite sayings because it’s true.
-
A cortisone shot or anti-inflammatory medication may be great at decreasing your pain lot swelling, but it’s really just putting a band aid on a bigger problem.
-
It’s alleviating a symptom, but it is not addressing the cause.
-
If your issue is the result of poor movement patterns, overuse, too much volume too quick, or inappropriate loads then your pain and swelling are going to come right back when the meds wear off.
-
Not to mention cortisone increases your risk of arthritis long term 🥵.
-
The solution has to be movement based if you want to address the cause and make REAL MEANINGFUL, LONG TERM change.
-
So the choice is yours.
-
Would you rather put on a band-aid and kick the can?
-
Or would you rather work with someone who can explain to you why you’re in pain and can give you a road map back to training pain free?

Having trouble with your squats?
-
afraid you’re going to hurt your knees or back?
-
Join me on 4/9 at 8 am at to learn all of my favorite drills to improve your squat.
-
Come prepared to learn, sweat, and have fun because we’ll be going over squat technique, ankle and hip mobility, and a ton of other drills.
-
This is open and appropriate for athletes of all levels.
-
Got questions? Let us know!
-
See you there 🤷🏻‍♂️

What goal do you want to achieve?
-
What’s holding you back?
-
Send me a DM and let’s talk about it.

Did you know that pathology can show up on an MRI in someone who is completely asymptomatic?
-
What does that mean?
-
Well, I’m glad you asked!
-
That means that someone can be completely PAIN FREE and have a tear, a bulge, or any other scary terms on MRI.
-
What does that matter?
-
Another great question.
-
This means that you can’t always trust the MRI. If a tear can be present without pain, that means that the tear might NOT be causing your pain.
-
We expect to see some wear and tear on your body. It’s kind of like wrinkles and gray hair. It’s bound to happen (sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️).
-
We try to prevent unnecessary surgeries, and we tend to be pretty damn successful.
-
Do you think surgery is your only option?…….let’s chat, I bet we can do a whole lot to get you back to the version of you you love.

This is why.

We’ve got 2 more weeks of the open and if your body is already screaming (I know mine is) you might want to start thinking about how you’re going to recover.
-
In addition to 50% off recovery sessions we are also going to lead a full body mobility workshop to help you recover after crushing 22.2 and 22.3.
-
If you’re sore, stiff, tight, or just want to learn some easy ways to make yourself feel better through out the year, you won’t want to miss this!

That’s a wrap for me on Saturday.
-
Thank you everyone for letting me coach you and for making a great experience.
-
Now I’ll be on your side of the class on saturday driving crazy while she tries to explain the workout.

Seriously, it shouldn’t.
-
You’re training should leave you feeling better than when you started.
-
You shouldn’t have that nagging back ache or that sore shoulder every time you do something overhead.
-
Your workout shouldn’t leave you in a puddle (every time).

Do you avoid squats because of knee pain?
-
Maybe you just feel like you don’t know how to do them correctly.
-
Or worse, you feel like you do t have good technique.
-
Join me on January 15 for a free squatting clinic .
