Upper Perk & New Hope Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab - Therapists

Therapists
"I spent enough time working in corporate physical therapy settings to see that clients rarely receive focused, one-on-one manual therapy care. That's why I give my clients my undivided attention and spend time teaching them about their bodies and how best to cope with various conditions. My years of clinical experience and use of today's most advanced techniques can relieve pain and help people heal from injury or surgery more quickly. To me, that's what physical therapy is really all about."	Jay D. Kauffman PT, MBA Owner/Director of Physical Therapy *Board-Certified:* Direct Access-Differential Diagnosis, Pennsylvania State Board of Physical Therapy *Master's Degree:* Business Administration, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA *Bachelor's Degree:* (Magna Cum Laude) Physical Therapy, Temple University *Certification:* Functional Capacity Evaluation, Keith Blankenship/American Therapeutics *Licensed:* Pennsylvania *Memberships:* American Physical Therapy Association (Private Practice Section), Pennsylvania Physical Therapy Association *Continuing Education:* Quality care, foot and ankle care, industrial medicine (FCEs), work injury prevention and management, spine injuries and dysfunction, hand injuries and postsurgical care, advanced shoulder evaluation and treatment, medical screening techniques and biomechanical functional assessments
"I pride myself in committing to servicing excellence in therapeutic rehabilitation. By continuous assessment of the individual I analyze, evaluate, and address the various influential factors impairing optimal function. Only through this method can we, as health care practitioners, ensure the most effective, individualized treatment plan. To complete the rehabilitation circuit, I often emphasize education to ensure the individual understands the importance of total mind, body and spiritual wellness; I plan on empowering one to efficiently carryover these lessons throughout everyday activities and continue challenging oneself to push boundaries well after rehabilitation is complete so as to strive for excellence in life! I strongly believe this philosophy integrates well at UPPT and elevates our service above the competitors."

When I am with a patient, that patient gets my full attention and focus. What the patient tells me is as important as what they show me in regards to their difficulties. Then we tailor a rehab program specifically for the needs and goals. Drawing on my experiences working in Hospitals, Continuing Care Retirement Communities, and Outpatient Private Practice Settings, I will utilize manual therapy techniques, exercise and pain relieving modalities along with my sense of humor to help people regain their quality of life.	James Kensicki, PT Physical Therapist *School (Undergrad):* Delaware County Community College *PT School:* Thomas Jefferson University
"Good health and physical fitness have always been important to me. Physical therapy has enabled me to communicate the principles of health and fitness to others by helping them feel better. I enjoy the diversity of people who come to us for help. I enjoy educating them and creating individualized treatment plans for them. My goal is to provide them with the tools and information they need to achieve their goals."
