Excel Physical Therapy and Fitness > About Us > Staff

Our Staff

Excel employees have the qualifications and advanced skills needed to provide you with the highest level of care.
 
Excel Physical Therapy and Fitness believes in keeping their physical therapists (PT) current in their education in order to get you better, faster.

That is why every PT is required to participate in 40 hours of continuing education above and beyond what is required by the American Physical Therapy Association. This makes our PTs some of the most knowledgeable in the Delaware Valley and what differentiates us from other physical therapy providers.

Besides the continuing education credits, many of our PTs have advanced training certificates and degrees including:

McKenzie Certification (Cert. MDT)

Therapists who are McKenzie certified have passed an extensive four part series of classes to practice a specific type of diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions.

Active Release Technique (ART)

Therapists specializing in ART use a patented, manual soft tissue release technique to treat painful problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.

Athletic Training (ATC)

This certification is given by the National Athletic Trainers Association after completing academic and clinical requirements for the treatment and prevention of athletic injuries.

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)

This certification is for professionals who design and implement strength and conditioning programs for athletes in a team setting.

Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS)

The American Physical Therapy Association grants this certification after participants have extensive experience in treating orthopedic conditions and have passed a stringent examination.

Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT)

The wave of the future is the requirement of a Doctorate in Physical Therapy to become a physical therapist.  Many therapists who have graduated when this program was non-existent choose to go back to college to obtain this higher degree.

Direct Access (DA) Certified

PTs who have at least two years of experience and have maintained their continuing education can apply for their Direct Access Certification. This certification allows them to treat patients for 30 days without a prescription.
We have at least one DA certified therapist at each of our locations to allow you to obtain physical therapy services without delay.
