Care for the whole person, not just the injury.
Sports and dance medicine are where we specialize. Holistic care is the foundation underneath both, so every plan considers the joint, the movement pattern, the mind and the life around it.
The joint, the pattern, the person.
We don't just treat where it hurts. Every plan starts with a full picture: your posture, your training, your work day, your stress. Pain rarely lives in just one place, so we don't treat it like it does. It takes a little longer to start this way, but it gets you better faster.
- Whole-body assessment before a single goal is set
- A yoga-inspired approach connecting body and mind
- Hands-on, in-person care every visit

Real recoveries, in their own words.
"I'm now completely pain-free."
Hear directly from one of our patients about what treatment at E-Motion actually looks like, from the first evaluation to getting back to the life they missed.
Watch more patient storiesWhat they're saying.
"Her attention to detail and devotion to helping people are incredibly inspiring. Patient recovery is what health care should be about. She's helped me with my ACL struggles and post-op shoulder recovery, and continues to be a vital force in my road to physical recovery."
"My physical therapist was super helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. I was treated for MCL and meniscus strain, and it took only 6 weeks to feel better and strong. The exercises and instruction given were very helpful."
"Foram spent a complete hour with me, checking my posture and dance moves, explaining the anatomy of muscles. Within 4 weeks my pain reduced. Dancing doesn't hurt me anymore, and I don't fear weight training now!"
"I had terrible pain at the side of my knee for almost two weeks. One visit with her made such a huge difference. She even recommended easy stretches to do at home to fully recover."
"I've been to 8+ doctors and therapists over three years for chronic knee pain. Foram has been my physical therapist for over a year now and I couldn't be more satisfied. She goes above and beyond."
"She doesn't rush to get to her next patient. She's really great, people-friendly and gives great advice. Highly recommended."
"It's a different experience when PT becomes play. In her own words, it's amazing what the body can do to heal. You just need to know how to achieve that."
"I came to E-motion with recurring back pain, and working with Dr. Lauren Coar has been truly transformative. Through our sessions, I gained a deep understanding of my own body and I'm thrilled to say I'm now completely pain-free."

Straight answers, before you book.
No! New Jersey and New York are direct access states, so you can schedule a PT evaluation as soon as you feel you need to be seen.
Many clients experience decreased pain or improved function during their very first session. On average, most clients who are injured feel pain-free within 4–6 sessions.
We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations within 24 hours of your visit, and no-shows, are subject to a $75 fee.
