Gerald “Jerry” Lewis, PT, Clinical Director at our Union, NJ location, treats patients by implementing Twin Boro’s proprietary One2FourTM program, which can help each person who strives to obtain higher physical performance/functional levels.
This unique approach looks at the entire episode of care for the patient or athlete to help determine the “right level of health care” for each individual. The levels go from a Level One, of being dependent on others, to a Level Four, in which are people are striving for excellence in physical performance.
Therapists like Jerry who skillfully combine manual therapy with evolving functional exercise along the One2FourTM continuum strive to achieve the individual’s “meaningful goals” and “desired outcomes”. This approach has allowed him to effectively work with and treat NYC Broadway stars and professional NBA/NJ Nets players.
Be Prepared for Your Visit
- Paperwork
Paperwork is never fun, but it’s necessary. It may include insurance details and new patient forms that give your physical therapist a better understanding of your health history and condition. Leave some time before your first appointment to complete the required documents.
Serving as an in-network physical therapy provider with most NJ insurance carriers, Twin Boro Physical Therapy works closely with all patients to make the insurance process is as fast and simple as possible.

- Assessment
The pain you’re experiencing may be throbbing at your shoulder, but we want to be sure we treat the correct origin of the pain. For example, shoulder pain can sometimes originate in your neck. We will measure your range of motion, strength, and mobility, and implement some other assessments related to your condition to be sure we treat the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.
- Treatment
After your initial assessment, your physical therapist will create a unique plan of care with short- and long-term goals. Make sure to wear loose, comfortable clothing. If you are experiencing arm pain, wear short sleeves. If the pain is in your legs, try not to wear jeans or other tight pants that hinder easy access.
If you live or work in the Irvington, NJ area, call Twin Boro Physical Therapy’s Union office at 908.686.0840 to schedule an appointment.
