When I first started training in June for the NYC marathon, I had no clue what I was getting into! The experience of the NYC marathon is truly one you have to experience to really understand. Here’s a little recap..

Dr. Nardiello earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Sacred Heart University and enjoys working with patients at every level to help them #getbetterbebetter. Dr. Nardiello was passionate about baseball growing up and continues to stay active in the gym and training for half marathons. He is a Certified Running Gait Analyst and Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).

Dr. Aherne went to SUNY Brockport (where he played soccer) and then earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from George Washington University. He has received advanced training in strength and conditioning, concussion/vestibular issues and completed a Titleist certification in treating golfers

Dr. Nagatsuka has over 14 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings! He is certified in Active Release Technique (ART) and Kinesio Taping. Dr. N actually graduated as an engineer from Drexel University and then from the UMDNJ/Rutgers DPT Program with Dr. Mayes!

This athlete loves to run, ski, spin and play volleyball to stay active. He also enjoys Japanese Taiko drumming and Filipino stick fighting! In his free time, he does wood working and photography.

Dr. Payne is our newest DPT at Iron Physical Therapy! This “ball of energy” is always doing something to #getbetterbebetter, whether it’s in the clinic as a physical therapist, on the volleyball court as a coach, in the gym as a Crossfit coach, on the water at her lake house, or spending time with her family!

June was full of local New Jersey races, with the Fitzgerald 5k in Glen Ridge closing out the exciting month! Iron Physical Therapy was excited to treat local Essex County runners for this fun and inclusive event!

Another 5k in the books for Montclair Bread Company and Iron Physical therapy! We were so excited to stretch some of our favorite runners, raise money for The Covenant House in New Jersey, and even finish the race ourselves.
