Ricardo Pacheco, PT, DPT

Bio

Ricardo Pacheco graduated from Kean University, receiving his B.S. in Biology with a minor in English and Health Education. He went on to pursue his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Clarkson University. During high school, he played soccer and became injured. Ricardo tore his meniscus, which required surgery and physical therapy. This exposure to the field pushed him to pursue his doctorate in PT.

Ricardo joined Twin Boro Physical Therapy in 2021 as the Clinical Director of our Newark clinic. He specializes in treating rotator cuff injuries, low back pain, neck pain, ankle sprains, ACL tears, meniscus tears, hip pathology, joint replacements, and post-surgical intervention. Ricardo has worked with D1 college athletes, MLB pitchers, and players in the MLS and NFL.

He completed several CE courses on cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal manipulation. Ricardo attended an M1 training to become certified in Graston Technique, an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique. He is also certified in Rock Tape, an evidenced-based approach to taping for pain, enhancing fluid dynamics, posture, nerve entrapment, and scars.

When treating patients, Ricardo implements Twin Boro’s One2Four™ Care Model to determine and analyze patients current functional level, past functional level, and establish the right plan of care to help them succeed. He marks patients progress during their plan of care and makes adjustments as needed to meet every patient goal.

I have been receiving physical and occupational therapy at Twin Boro/St. Joseph's Hospital in Westfield, New Jersey for more than 10 months. The entire team, from the administrative staff to the therapists and their assistants, has provided exceptional support. Following my heart attack and stroke, they have been dedicated to helping me restore movement in my right hand and leg.I utilize a variety of equipment at the facility, and I receive suggestions for activities I can perform at home as well. My physical therapist, Ryan, and the various assistants, consistently offer words of encouragement, instilling a belief in my abilities. Meanwhile, Terry, my occupational therapist, along with his assistant Rena, are always on the lookout for innovative and effective methods to support my progress.I strongly endorse this facility for anyone seeking physical or occupational therapy services.Joe C.Nov 5, 2024

I recently completed a series of sessions at the physical therapy office located at 1 Nardone Place in Jersey City, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. The entire team here is exceptional, especially the physical therapists, Jack and Joyce. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported, and the facility itself is clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything needed for a comprehensive therapy experience.Jack and Joyce are not only highly skilled but also truly dedicated to their patients’ recovery. They both took the time to understand my needs, creating a personalized treatment plan that targeted my specific issues. Throughout my sessions, they monitored my progress closely, adjusting my exercises to ensure I was always challenged yet comfortable. Their professionalism and expertise are evident, and they have a fantastic bedside manner that made every session enjoyable.The assistants were also amazing.Thank you everyone!

Twin Boro in West Orange is amazing! The staff is phenomenal! Nicole and her team are the best. I have been going since June for tendinitis in my shoulder. I was in so much pain and could barely move my arm. After several months of PT, I’m pain free and I am able to move my arm again. It is all thanks to Nicole!!! I highly recommend going there for PT.

Following a "broken leg @ the hip w/steel rod insertion & not being able to walk normally, these guys have got me "more than walking" + within reach of 100% recovery in just over a yr., - I'm "mid-70's". Very Professional - very dedicated staff, family atmosphere, 100% attention to my recovery - terrific!! My highest recommendations (I thoroughly interviewed several other PT organizations before selection, couldn't be happier w/this choice!)

Tori was wonderful. She helped me rehab my back. I have been pain free and feel stronger. The Westfield location has been flexible with appointments.

My family having clients for 40 years made it easy to select Twin Boro for my last PT needs. I was pleasantly surprised by the expanded Westfield facility. My last visit it was only half the size and not nearly as bright and airy. As to my therapy, Kris was the best. He anythe rest of the staff were welcoming and made me feel like I belonged during my sessions. Kris made it not feel like work but what I needed to get back to my old self. And with all the people there was a professional but also a personal feel to it all. I would readily recommend Twin Boro and especially this location to anyone in need of their services.

This is my first time going to physical therapy so I was initially nervous. Calling for the initial appointment was super easy and straightforward with great availability. Everyone at the office is super friendly and kind. I specifically worked with Nicole for my TMJ. I definitely saw an improvement in my ability to open and chew down after my sessions. Additionally I was able to attack more of the root causes as to why my TMJ developed and where tension was building. Nicole is a great listener, easy to talk to, and creates a very relaxing PT session where I walk out more relaxed/less pain.

Both my husband and I have had several needs for physical therapy over several years. We found the best therapy at Twin Boro in Edison and always returned to them when we required more therapy. The staff was always very professional and very knowledgeable and provided us with instructions and purpose of exercises that we could follow at home. They were very friendly and made our experiences enjoyable and helpful and fun! And work at our own pace, never rushing us and making sure we were doing exercises correctly.Carl and Anne

The team at Twin Boro Bridgewater provided effective treatment of my plantar fasciitis that eased the pain and improved flexibility and strength. The Director, Matt Lannin, is knowledgeable, helpful and personable. He provides an understanding of your condition, explains how the exercises will be beneficial and establishes a pathway to recovery. The environment is friendly, supportive and welcoming to all. The therapists are highly capable, knowledgeable and professional. The physical therapy assistants are helpful and quick to assist when needed. The office staff is very competent and helpful. They are accommodating in making changes in appointments when your schedule requires a change. They manage insurance issues with professionalism and skill. If you require physical therapy in the Bridgewater area, I recommend Twin Boro with enthusiasm.

Fantastic experience at Twinboro Westfield. Very attentive staff that enhances your progress at each appointment. They carefully explain how your muscles are interacting to derive the most benefit from the exercises that apply to your physical disability. To see and feel that personal progress is gratifying. I came here in a wheelchair and now I’m walking, that’s monumental. The never give up attitude is their motto and it works….ELR

Twin Boro in Clark has such flexible times, the staff is very nice and accommodating when you are juggling life and work. Christina is so kind and pushes me to excel. She is always considerate of my injury and has really helped me improve significantly. I informed her that I wanted to heal in time for my wedding and she took it very serious and ensured that I could build my strength up and get my mobility back. The music is always on point and they ensure that the entire staff is aware of who you are and how they can assist you to complete your physical therapy. I highly recommend!

I am very grateful to TwinBoro Physical Therapy for helping me get back on my feet after my knee surgery. Their staff is friendly and supportive, and they made this process of rehabilitation easier. Brandon and Keith were my primary therapists, but the whole team is knowledgeable and lovely to work with. Thank you for making these last 8 months more bearable and teaching me how to be stronger. As I am finally discharged, I feel confident that I can continue the work we have done and take care of myself.

After many months of aches and pains. and a six round golf trip to Ireland in the fall-a CT scan showed arthritis in left hip along with pinched nerve in groin (probably from hernia operation). Started physical therapy at Twin Boro Westfield. Ryan and his crew are AWESOME ! After initial consult they had me on a bi-weekly workout with HOMEWORK. The 10 minute heating pad, 40 minute workout and 10 minute pressure massage on effected areas were a great combination. Thanks to this program, the Golf trip was a huge success (won money 4 of 6 rounds) !! Highly recommend . Shout out to Corina, Patty, Riley, Victorias, Jenn

Twin Boro has been absolutely amazing for my recovery from a herniated disc. I went from intense pain in my back to being able to do deadlifts again in three months. Ryan is patient, a great listener with the best bedside manner. Also his knowledge of muscles, nerves and explaining it in a way anyone can understand is a gift. We continued to progress each week with a dedicated plan to success. The staff is so kind, attentive, and supportive. I have never had physical therapy before like this and I am glad my time was at Twin Boro.

I am currently on week 7 at the Westfield location with Jessica Garry and her well trained staff. My Total Knee Replacement surgery went well but feared PT. The guidance, extensive knowledge, compassion and support from Jessica and staff have put me at ease. My family, friends and I are all amazed and impressed with my physical progress and transformation. This all due to the expert care I have received at Twin Boro Westfield.I have not been this active in two years. Every step of my pt journey is explained to me. We work as a team. I will return for my other knee and PT with Jessica and her team. The front desk takes care of all my appointments and insurance needs. I have had to do nothing. Everyone at the a Westfield location is happy and helpful.The facility is clean, bright, welcoming and modern! I look forward to my appointments.The PT techs are amazing and I never have to ask for assistance, they are by my side and other patients before we can ask!Thank you Jessica and staff for giving me back my independence.

I came to Twins Boro PT after a lower back injury from squatting. My PT Moe helped diagnose what exactly caused the injury and formulated a workout plan to strengthen the muscles around my lower back to prevent further injury. After a few short weeks I was back to normal with no more back pain. I only wish I’d gone sooner. Big thanks to Moe for being patient, knowledgeable, and taking the time to understand what works for me!

In the summer of 22, I had torn my ACL. I was in a lifetime of pain and needed help. After my surgery, I had went to a different PT, but I still had limited range of motion in my leg (the brace was supposed to be off at this point). However, this is when I met the magician known as Mohamed Mahmoud. I heard from a friend he knew what he was doing, and so I set up a visit. Mohamed had me in better range of motion after a week of workouts. We would only work for two hours a week together, but his expertise was worth a lifetime. After three months there, I was nearly healed. In fact, I was medically cleared for sports after 6 months. Mohamed had healed me from such a sad and desperate time in my life. He is the greatest Physical Therapist I know, and I HIGHLY recommend visiting Twin Boro Physical Therapy.
