Testimonials

There are not enough words to express my thanks and gratitude to Rufus Hay and his staff, Joe Pantoliano (Acupuncturist), Jake and their students, Frank and Dom at the Toms River location. From my very first day, Rufus has been a Godsend to me. His knowledge, skills, demeanor and compassion are first-class. Rufus has worked with me on a number of issues and I now have the ability to do many of the things I couldn’t before because of pain. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without him and his team at Toms River. They are all top-notch and able to fill in when Rufus isn’t available. The atmosphere is extremely friendly and comfortable and everyone feels like family. These young men are incomparable and make an extraordinary team. I hope they remain a team at this location because I trust each of them 100% with my well-being.

Best Pt ever! Very attentive and quick working! Feel better in only a few weeks! There’s even acupuncture and all kinds of equipment to help you get back to what you love doing!

Never been to PT before, but in the medical field and have always promoted PT. So when my time came to need PT, I decided to give it a go. Was recommended to Coast PT. Best recommendation ever. My therapist, Rufus is very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely proficient in his field. Coast PT offers individual, personalized therapy, one on one. They don’t just tell you what to do and walk away like the “larger” places. Everyone is treated as a special client. And I will say, 7 sessions in, and I am 90% improved. So yes, therapy works. Again, I can’t say enough about Coast PT. I will definitely miss going when my therapy ends.

By far the best treatment I have gotten in physical therapy. Went from not being allowed to do leg workouts for months on end to basically being back to normal in the matter of 2-3 months. Changed my thoughts on actually liking needling, BFR, etc., which i never thought would happen. By far my favorite PT place with the best people that work there and will get you feeling better in no time.

Absolutely the best PT I’ve been to. Dr. Rufus is incredibly knowledgeable about so many methods and techniques and explains the differences to tailor the experience to each athlete. I recommend his services to everyone, whether sport-specific or general!

Rufus was best PT I’ve ever been to. My podiatrist referred me and it was the best decision. He was able to help me before and after surgery. I highly recommend him.

Fabulous team of dedicated professionals. The program Kim developed for the rehab of both my right and left knee after total knee replacement was complete and thorough. Her positivity, motivation, and dedication made my rehab experience so enjoyable. Top notch!

Coast Rehab is the best physical therapy place I have tried so far. I tore my ACL and have tried another PT prior who did not help me as much as Coast. They have helped me gain my confidence back in walking and returning to sport.

Extremely impressed with the Coast team and in particular really appreciate Jake. He put together a plan to help me and continued to develop new methods of eliminating pain by Strengthening support muscles and improving movement and function. Not to mention he’s just an all-around great guy. I highly recommend Jake and wish to thank the entire staff who was warm, welcoming and fun.

COAST REHAB is the best! Great team of dedicated professionals. Everyone is so helpful and cares a lot about everyone who comes in. The program Luke developed for the rehab of my back was complete and now I’m able to keep running for a while. Thank you Luke and everyone at COAST REHAB!

Have really enjoyed my past two months rehabbing my shoulder at COAST. I was able to work with each PT, and all of them are very talented at what they do. The facilities were exactly what I was looking for as an athlete. Full turf, a ton of weight-room equipment, and cutting-edge recovery modalities helped me feel really confident for returning to my sport and the gym. The staff here truly seems like they love what they do and they make every patient their priority!

My 10-year-old gymnast daughter had a bad sprain/ possible growth plate fracture. Culli has been so amazing!! She has sent us exercises, makes PT so much fun for my daughter that she can’t wait to go, has helped her feel much stronger, and continues to try to find ways to help her. My little gymnast developed what is possibly severe disease, and Culli was very informative and immediately tried to find ways to help her!! Kinesio Tape has saved her from pain!! Culli answers our questions any day and time because she truly cares and wants to help!

First off the whole organization is great. I had a long-term recovery that they implemented a plan for were able to get back up to speed without any hiccups while working around my hectic schedule and unique work demands. But let me just compliment Dr. Pringle on her being the utmost professional. Truly a top-tier PT. 5 stars, two thumbs up!

Oh yea and that Rufus fella is pretty darn good as well, although at a different location

Coast Rehab is truly amazing!! The staff is very professional & personal! When I walk in I know it’s going to be a good day! Doctor Culli is amazing!!! After one session I was more knowledgeable of my injury & the journey on how we’re gonna fix it!

My experience with Culli has been beyond my expectations!  I am 74 years old, with spinal stenosis and significant arthritis in my right shoulder.  Culli has worked with me patiently for the past several months, and she has given me a “new lease on life”.  I look forward to golfing and hiking as I have done in the past, with the knowledge of how to relieve any potential discomfort by doing the exercises I have learned with her guidance.  I would highly recommend her for your P/T needs.  I thank Dr. Glasser for recommending her!

I can not rave enough about Coast Rehab. Culli is an incredible physical therapist. She is very professional and friendly. Her knowledge and expertise is amazing. I am a dancer that had 2 stress fractures in my lower back.  I’ve been working with Culli for 5 months. She is hands-on and knows exactly what to focus on. She has worked with me to strengthen and stretch my back and other areas and it has made all the difference. I’m back dancing full time but I still try to see Culli once a week to keep up with my recovery. I would highly recommend Culli. She’s the best!

I have been plagued with many spine and joint related problems most of my adult life. Two years ago, along came COAST Rehab, who convinced me to try a fitness program called TPI, which would improve flexibility, strength, speed, and balance. These have become the best 2 years in the last 2 decades for my back, hips, and golf game. I play pain free, in a single digit range, live a very active lifestyle, and honestly believe it’s due to TPI and COAST Rehab.

Absolutely wonderful people to work with. They are attentive to your needs and work with you to accomplish your goals. Before coming to COAST Rehab I would throw out my back at least once a month. After going here I was able to forget about all of that and focus on my strength and flexibility (which greatly improved by coming here). I personally thank all of the staff at COAST Rehab and look forward to working with all of you again.

Wonderful experience at COAST Rehab with all of the staff. Took a man (myself) who had back problems ever since college and brought me back to not worrying about throwing out my back. If you are having any issues with your body, the staff at COAST Rehab will be able to help you out. What are you waiting for??…call’em up! Thank you COAST Rehab,Colin

Matt and the COAST Rehab team were great! After going to a different PT place for 8 weeks (unsuccessfully), it was recommended I go to COAST. It was night and day from the first place. Each session was customized for me and my needs and each session was different from the last. They actually listen to you and build a program that will get you back to 100%. I can’t recommend them enough.

I went to COAST Rehab after surgery for a torn meniscus. COAST Rehab is amazing. I was surprised how badly the muscles around my knee atrophied after the…

COAST Rehab has put together a complete assessment and plan for improving my golf game. Their dedication to ensuring I understand each program and exercise has provided noticeable results in a short time.

The COAST Rehab team’s knowledge of anatomy is amazing and they communicate it in layman terms so you fully understand what they wants to accomplish. Looking forward to continued training with them.

I was given a proper diagnosis by COAST Rehab after being misdiagnosed by an emergency room doctor. He then gave me some exercises that helped me recover faster….

I have been going to COAST Rehab for 2 years for physical therapy for my hip tightness problem. I saw him at Ivy Rehab in Toms River last year and he helped a lot and got me fixed up to run again. I started to have hip problems again this year and was ecstatic when I heard he was opening his own practice in Manasquan. I have been going to COAST Rehab for the last few weeks and my hips have felt a lot better and I have gained a lot of flexibility I lost in my hips. He has a lot of technical knowledge about how to treat your problems. The team at COAST Rehab has a great bedside manner- he has a pleasant, positive, demeanor and makes you feel welcome there. He is highly motivating and makes me feel comfortable. He gives you personal one on one attention and advice by only have a few clients at a time. His facility at COAST is clean and ideal being attached to a gym so that you can also work on strengthening your weak areas. And his location offers a lot of unique opportunities for PT exercises. I highly recommend COAST Rehab. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment today !

Found COAST Rehab through TPI, I have been working with him for 3 months now and have seen great improvement in my flexibility and stability. As a result, my back pain is no longer and my golf game is improving. Looking forward was to continuing my winter workouts. Highly recommend COAST Rehab for a better quality of life. They are all great professionals who truly care about their patients

I’ve been plagued by multiple orthopedic problems throughout my adult life, including chronic low back pain, knee pain, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. I am also a physical therapist, but was unable to diagnose and treat myself. My pains impacted my ability to bend, kneel and squat with my patients and I could no longer run or do mud races due to my pain. My doctor referred me to COAST Rehab and in just 2 sessions I was able to bend over and touch my toes – something I haven’t done in over 20 years. After 4 sessions I have no knee pain or foot pain and my back is no longer stiff in the morning. I can squat, kneel and bend at work with no pain as well. If you’re suffering from pain that is impacting your life, both personally or professionally, come see the therapists at COAST Rehab!

I started seeing a therapist at COAST Rehab after having ankle stabilization surgery in September 2017. Right from the start the therapist had me working on balance and ankle exercises. What I found to be simple exercises turned out to be very creative and helped me regain my ankle strength well ahead of schedule. During every session, [my therapist] managed my sessions himself and was very encouraging. Overall, his one-on-one approach was refreshing. I would definitely recommend COAST Rehab for anyone needing physical therapy.

COAST rehab is THE place you want to go if you have any physical rehab needs. I first saw a COAST Rehab therapist for a planters fasciitis and tarsal tunnel issue. At the same time I was having vertigo issues. My therapist spent a lot of time with me reviewing a specific plan of action directed for my needs. The one on one attention you receive is unlike any other PT facilities in the area. The staffs knowledge and continuance to learn and grow in the field of PT is bar none. I highly recommend COAST rehab!!!

I would highly recommend COAST Rehab.

My orthopedist recommended that I go for physical therapy when my right shoulder was very sore and I couldn’t lift my arm. The therapists at COAST Rehab helped me exercise my arm and shoulder. I was very pleased with the high quality of care I received from COAST Rehab. The atmosphere is very uplifting and pleasant. I would highly recommend COAST Rehab.

I am enjoying my tennis just 5 months after surgery

COAST rehab is an EXCELLENT facility if you want personalized, caring, and professional service! My foot surgery has a 6 month to one year recovery. After completing my rehab with [my therapist] and his AMAZING staff, I am enjoying my tennis just 5 months after surgery. I highly recommend COAST Rehab!

If I could give more stars I would!

If I could give more stars I would! Luke and his team got me pain-free quickly and are working with me on becoming the strongest me! The team at COAST Rehab knows their stuff, and seems to really care about their clients I would recommend anyone in need of physical therapy to come here!

COAST Rehab helped me to get to a pain-free state

I had been dealing with plantar fasciosis (w/partial tear) for almost a year when I started to go to COAST Rehab. In conjunction with EPAT treatments with my orthopedic doctor, COAST Rehab helped me to get to a pain-free state. My therapist was very attentive and listened to feedback from me with each exercise or stretch he asked me to do. Over time I regained strength in my foot and the pain began to diminish. My therapist gave me stretches and exercises to do at home so I could continue to improve. Dr. Kat and al the staff were super-friendly and helpful at all times. I highly recommend PT at COAST Rehab! Thank you!

I highly recommend COAST REHAB!

I had foot surgery in November. Once permitted to start PT, I was told about COAST Rehab. The surgery has a 6 month to one year full recovery. Due to [COAST Rehab] and the amazing staff, I have been enjoying my spring break playing tennis down south (5 months)! COAST rehab is a GREAT facility and as their motto states, they truly care and give you personalized attention to your goals. Tom, Matt, and ALL of the staff are genuine and tend to your needs. Hours are flexible to fit any busy schedule. I highly recommend COAST REHAB!

I feel stronger than ever.

After repeated tears to my foot and ankle tendons, my Dr. recommended physical therapy to help me heal and avoid re-injury. COAST Rehab was great at immediately diagnosing my balance and strength deficiencies. With their support I am confident that my years of foot issues are behind me – I feel stronger than ever. Drs. Kat and Matt take time to give you an individual program and listen to your concerns.

Eleven weeks after my surgery I am again playing tennis

Went to COAST Rehab after surgery for a torn meniscus. The team at COAST Rehab is awesome. I was amazed how badly my muscles around my knee had atrophied after the surgery. My muscles continue to strengthen with the physical therapy I get at COAST Rehab. Eleven weeks after my surgery I am again playing tennis. Thanks COAST Rehab!!

They’re super friendly, supportive, and helpful! I feel way better and I can’t wait to go back after surgery.

I highly recommend COAST Rehab!

I’ve been going to COAST Rehab for 1 month to rehab from an ACL surgery and have had the most positive experience with these PTs! The team at COAST Rehab is amazing and provide excellent care, are incredibly knowledgeable in their field, and make recovering from an injury as enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend COAST Rehab!

The COAST Rehab team has an incredible insight and philosophy to effectively treat and accelerate recovery from both acute and chronic injury (pain)

Great job and I highly recommend!

The COAST Rehab team helped me with some severe pain I’d been having for a few months. I had tried a chiropractor a few weeks prior but it only provided temporary relief that day. They were able to release the area of pain in my back/shoulder, did some dry needling and showed me a few stretches that I was lacking to keep my back loose. Sometimes you don’t remember what it’s like to go through the day without pain but it feels good to not constantly have to adjust and fidget all day while sitting down. Great job and I highly recommend!

I would highly recommend COAST Rehab

I would highly recommend COAST Rehab to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and complete rehab experience. After two years of experiencing chronic ankle pain and instability, it was determined I would require ankle ligament reconstruction surgery. With the COAST Rehab team working beside me, I was able to perform strengthening and stabilizing exercises for my ankle. Through one-on-one instruction I was able to follow a simple and productive at home physical therapy program. I am very thankful for [the therapists’] expert care and attention to detail in order to get me back doing the activities I love.
