About Iron
We are a physical therapist owned, outpatient orthopedic clinic located in Caldwell, NJ. When we opened Iron Physical Therapy in 2011, we dreamed of creating something radical--highly personalized healthcare. We believed people were as tired of the big box approach as we were. We believed seeing only 1-2 patients per doctor would result in faster pain relief and better outcomes. We believed that athletes (or aspiring athletes) would respond positively to being treated by other athletes. We believed in the human potential to not only Get Better, but Be Better (our motto). We are grateful to be part of a community that has so enthusiastically embraced this philosophy, leading to rapid growth over the last 11 years.
