Russ embodies everything I was looking for in a physical therapist. He was very knowledgeable, caring, honest, flexible, and didn't drag out the process. When an approach didn't seem to produce the desired results, he would try something else. I was a little suspect that PT would help my hip pain, but I was pleasantly surprised that it did. Once I started to feel better, he said, "That's it! Just come back if you start to feel pain again." I thought he was going to tell me come in indefinitely. I've been waiting to feel the pain again, but it hasn't returned. I would highly recommend Russ to anyone needing PT. read more

I am so glad my friend recommended Russ at Elite Care to me for physical therapy. I was getting frustrated at a big PT group where I met with a different person every time I went and had to explain the injury again and again. I started going to Russ three weeks ago for a shoulder injury and he has helped me immensely. I meet with Russ every time and he provides the best exercises and hands on work based on my injury/progress. He also understands that I am a fitness fanatic and need to get back to my regular training ASAP! He is a friendly, intelligent, patient, and extremely knowledgeable therapist who takes the time to explain what methods work best for you. I will recommend him to everyone! read more

I started going to Elite Care in Berekley Heights, NJ because my entire right leg had no power. I could not lift my leg up 1 inch. But only after a few sessions with the Therapist (Russell Altman), I was able to lift my leg. His exercise regiment was simple in nature but they stimulated my leg muscles and resulted in a quick recovery. Russell is a true professional who I recommend whole heartedly. read more

Frustrated with low back issues and golfer's elbow, I was looking for someone nearby who could help me with these issues as I continued my physical regime (yoga, crossfit, running, Pilates). Dr. Russ Altman was recommended to me, and from the first day when he assessed me, I was impressed by how intuitive he is! He spends quality time with all of his patients, and he never minds explaining (and with models!) how the parts of your body work (or aren't working correctly). He has excellent comprehension of physical pursuits and training and has helped me to get back to it all. When a shoulder issue recently arose, he saw me right away and started working his "magic". Improvement has been readily seen. On top of his expertise and professionalism, he's a great all-around friendly guy who truly cares about his patients. read more

I have been seeing Russ Altman, DPT for about 3 weeks now for a shoulder issue and I'm amazed with my progress already. He does quite a bit of hands on work that has gotten my shoulder feeling so much better and he gives some great exercises for me to do also. read more

I am a 36 year old career athlete (College baseball, Crossfit, brazilian jiu jitsu) who recently developed some shoulder pain. I was looking for a physical therapist who understood the most current trends in training and fitness, and who was an athlete themselves. Russ absolutely fit the bill. He understands what someone who trains hard in any sport needs to do to get moving well and pain free. I will highly recommend Elite Care to any athlete or non athlete. read more
