Listening Hands Physical Therapy provides excellent care. I have been going there to address a range of issues, including shoulder, tendon, muscle, and nerve-related conditions. I initially sought treatment for what I believed to be triceps tendinitis. However, Isha determined that my symptoms were actually due to nerve-related tension originating in the cervical (neck) region and radiating into my arm. Since then, treatment has focused on consistent, ongoing therapy to address fascial restrictions along the nerve pathways, helping to relieve tension and improve overall function. The therapists use hands-on manual techniques to improve the mobility of joints, muscles, nerves, fascia, and ligaments. Their approach combines specialized joint and soft tissue mobilization to support recovery and restore function. Isha also incorporates additional treatments, such as cupping and dry needling when appropriate, and develops personalized exercise programs tailored to my specific needs. These programs emphasize functional movement patterns used in daily life to build stability and endurance.
I highly recommend Listening Hands Physical Therapy!
I had the best experience at Listening Hands with Isha! She is the best. I had an extremely tight pelvic floor that was causing me significant issues. I have seen other pelvic floor therapists in the past but no one alleviated my symptoms….but Isha did! Her sessions are individual and she really listens to every concern you have. Isha will keep working to find a solution to every issue, no matter how challenging. She is kind and caring and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with a very sensitive part of my body. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality physical therapy services! Isha is the best!
We are incredibly glad to have found Isha at Listening Hands Physical Therapy. When our orthopedic surgeon recommended starting scoliosis specific Schroth physical therapy to support our daughter’s transition into a Rigo brace, we weren’t sure what to expect. Finding someone with the right expertise and the availability to accommodate her needs was a huge relief. From the very first session, Isha has truly listened to our daughter. She eased her into the Schroth techniques at a pace that felt comfortable, and she always took the time to explain why each technique matters, how it supports her bracing, and what we should expect over time in terms of preventing curve progression. That level of clarity has been incredibly reassuring for us as parents but also for my daughter because these techniques can be quite complex. Isha truly lives up to her practice’s name, she listens, analyzes and devises techniques that are specific to my daughter’s needs. She also suggested creative exercises to do at home and guided us on what simple household items or products could help with those exercises. Isha consistently goes the extra mile to ensure our daughter is receiving the precise treatment she needs. If you are looking for dedicated, scoliosis specific Schroth physical therapy, I would highly recommend reaching out to Listening Hands Physical Therapy
I started seeing Isha and Karen for arthritis in my knee, I was in so much pain when I began. They were able to get me walking without a cane and I can say I am pain free. I highly recommend seeing them for your physical therapy needs.
I began seeing Isha at Listening Hands Physical Therapy a few months ago for GI related issues and abdominal pain, and my experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. Isha brings vast knowledge and skill to make a treatment plan tailored to my individual needs. She has been instrumental in my recovery and is as excited about my progress as I am. I highly recommend Isha and Listening Hands Physical Therapy to anyone looking for fantastic, individualized care!
I am being treated for an ankle injury and neck arthritis at Listening Hands Physical Therapy. The treatment is amazing: well-researched, compassionate, and provides great relief. The personal attention for a full hour is so different from other PT businesses. The therapists are creative problem solvers and are constantly looking for new ways to help their patients.
I have been to many physical therapists all over North Jersey and both Isha and Karen are without question the best in this field. They are full hands on for the entire appointment, they never send you off to work on your own. Dr. Karen has an answer for everything you throw at her and won’t give up until she solves your problem. I have never experienced a place like this where the providers are not only super nice but unbelievably knowledgeable. I will never go anywhere else.
Listening Hands PT is very effective physical therapy provider. My therapist, Isha Chawal, a Schroth certified therapist, is very knowledgeable, professional, gentle and kind, is a good listener and explains everything in layman’s terms although she was able to read the complex details of my MRI . She also has several other certifications that helped me alot. I highly recommend Isha for anyone wishing to use non-surgical methods for scoliosis.
I can highly recommend Listening Hands. I had gone to a few other PT places and you get someone with you for typically a third of the time you are there. They will give you a drill and then be back in a few. At Listening Hands you get someone for the full session to work on your issues. I came in for back issues but Isha found so many other concerns that I did not know were a problem. She listens to your concerns and structures solutions to help. Also, just a very nice and friendly person. I would go back if I need PT in the future.
From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with warmth and a genuine desire to help me on my journey to recovery. I have tendonitis on my left foot and Isha took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and thoroughly assess my condition. Her deep knowledge and expertise were immediately evident, instilling a sense of trust and confidence in the treatment plan she designed for me.
She has been treating me for the last few weeks and her techniques and manual therapy have definitely helped!
Isha treated me for hip discomfort that I associated with some nerve pain (sciatica) and years of sitting down and not great range of motion. The initial evaluation and therapy sessions worked wonders and what i appreciated the most is the high level of communication and treatment customization I received. Not a volume practice, just good, high-end, one on one therapy services with a broad skill set and listening hands.
Isha is an amazing physical therapist and wonderful person! She goes above and beyond in her methods to help. Isha is unlike any other therapist I have ever been to and I trust her 100%. Her methods give results! You will not be disappointed!
Isha is magical. She made me a better version of myself after seeing her for a year. She heals from the inside out and her presence in the room is calming and peaceful. She is the best PT I have ever had.
I can’t rave about Isha enough! I have had two back surgeries and have a complicated case. No one has ever helped me as much. My pain isn’t fully gone but I am more aligned and able to be very active which is essential for my body and mind. Isha is so knowledgeable and intuitive. She is a truly gifted body worker.
Isha is great. I’m a PT and have the same certification as her. I can tell you that she is an ace and if you have an issue with your body, she is one to see.
I was lucky to work with Isha; she was never patronizing and made sure to answer my questions so that I understood as much as possible & I could replicate the movements at home as well as in the clinic. I felt well taken of.
Isha is an excellent physical therapist. She knows more than anyone I’ve ever been to about the inner workings of body muscle and tissue and how they work together. She is excellent at relieving pain or breaking down scar tissue.
Isha is an exceptional physical therapist who understands the body really well and has excellent work ethics. She has been taking care of me during my pregnancy with different issues and her holistic approach has already helped me to feel stronger in my body again. As a PT myself, I can say that I feel absolutely safe in her hands and highly recommend her to everyone!
Isha is an amazing human being who goes out of her way to find ways to help. She helped me with relieving chronic lower back pain and tried every technique she knew to alleviate it. I am so thankful for Isha.
Isha has magic in her hands. I was injured for 9 months not able to play soccer. After just couple of visits i was back training. Highly recommended.
Isha took the time to understand me and explore root causes to the pain, I was experiencing in the lower back. She took the time to educate me and then spent an hour doing hands on manual therapy. I’ve interned in a ton of PT clinics and its hard to find that one to one client time in most. In addition she gave me practical tools to improve my gait.
Isha has been amazing to work with. She is extremely kind, personable, and knowledgeable. She has helped me immensely since starting sessions with her this summer. Having Ehlers Danlos syndrome, I was nervous but found myself in good hands, learning and listening to my body and its complications and treating accordingly. I’m so glad to have found her and been able to work with her.
Isha is not only an incredible person but an amazing physical therapist! I have been struggling with daily headaches for a year. I have seen many specialists and tried many therapies and dif medications. Unfortunately, nothing seem to work. Isha has managed to give me relief in just one month of seeing her. She is very passionate about what she does and really tries to get to the bottom of what is hurting you and giving you relief. Looking forward to what a few more months will bring!
Isha Chawla is an excellent Physical Therapist. I was referred for her expertise in the Schroth Method for Scoliosis, a challenging and complicated condition to treat. Her combination of precise exercises, clear explanations and sensitive hands-on therapy is very effective. She schedules more than enough time to meet your individual needs, in a very private one-on-one setting. Her practice is well-equipped, well-organized and responsive. Highly recommended.
Isha is an exceptional Physical Therapist! Never have I had such a comprehensive and caring evaluation and treatments as I did at Listening Hands Physical Therapy with Isha Chawla. Her consideration and attention to my history and my description of repeated injuries to my hip and lower back led to a thorough examination and eventually, a thorough explanation of what was going on with my spine, hip and pelvis. I was impressed by her credentials and dedication to continuing education – things that I believe in. I’ve been to other PT therapists who gave me generic exercises and run-of-the-mill care. At Listening Hands, Isha’s treatment has been incredibly specific and tremendously individualized. I highly recommend Isha!!!
Isha is a skilled physical therapist who has helped me recover from two surgeries. She has also identified the cause of several long-term chronic pain issues I had and usually alleviated my pain. Isha Provides effective yet simple exercises I’ve added into my daily life that prevent the issue from recurring. Her CMFT (Certified function manual therapy) certification is above and beyond treating the body in any recovery! It is also worth mentioning that your appointment is a full 60 minutes of undivided hands-on treatment.
I have been to many physical therapists before but never one as caring and dedicated to helping her patients recuperate and recover from painful injuries as Isha is. I was initially going to Isha for knee pain but on one visit, I went in with excruciating ankle pain. She spent our entire session stretching and treating my ankle and by the end of our session, my ankle pain was completely gone. Isha’s top priority is finding ways to alleviate her patient’s pain and won’t stop until she finds a way to achieve just that. She is truly caring and excellent with her patient care, a rare gem in the healthcare profession. If you can run, I’d recommend you run right over to Isha for all your pain and rehabilitation needs.
Isha was godsend to me when I had a pinched nerve. She genuinely cares and her therapy healed me and I am now pain free. I highly recommend her therapeutic services.
