Specialized Physical Therapy in Portsmouth, NH

One-on-one care for adults 40+ who are ready to find the real cause of their pain and fix it for good, without pills, procedures, or surgery.

We Help You Move Better & Stay Independent for Life

We specialize in helping people aged 40 and older become more active, healthy, and mobile. We empower you through movement instead of telling you to take pain pills or avoid the activities you love.

We customize and develop a long-term plan built specifically for you that will not only get rid of your problem, but give you the best chance of keeping it from coming back.

If you are simply looking for a quick fix, we are probably not the right fit. But if you are motivated to understand what is really causing your pain or stiffness and find a lasting solution uniquely built for you, you are in exactly the right place.

One-on-One Care, Every Session

Stop sharing your appointment time with other patients. Every session at CJ Physical Therapy is dedicated entirely to you, your body, and your progress. We are not a big-box clinic. Expect office pups, hot coffee and tea, and a team that genuinely gets to know you as a person, not just a diagnosis

No Referral or Prescription Needed

You can come straight to us without a doctor's note. And before we take you on as a client, we make sure we are the right fit for each other. We do not believe in wasting your time or your money.

You Graduate on Your Terms

Not when your insurance company says so. You finish with us when you are feeling 100% and confident your problem is not coming back.

Conditions We Treat and Methods We Use

We are experts in movement. We do not need X-rays or MRIs to figure out what is causing your pain or stiffness. We treat a wide range of conditions using proven, hands-on techniques built around your body and your goals.

Back, Spine and Nerve Pain

Back pain, sciatica, herniated or bulging discs, and radiating arm or leg pain (radiculopathy) do not have to be a permanent part of your life. We find the root cause and build a plan that gets you out of pain and keeps you there.

Hip, Knee, Neck and Shoulder Pain

Whether it is a nagging ache or sharp pain stopping you from doing what you love, we use hands-on movement-based care to restore function and get you back to living fully.

Foot, Ankle and Lower Leg Pain

From plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy to post-surgical rehab, foot and ankle problems respond well to targeted manual therapy and movement retraining. We get to the source of the problem so you can get back on your feet.

Specialized Techniques

From the McKenzie Method to Pilates-based rehabilitation and dry needling, we use proven approaches tailored to your body. The truth is, 90% of all musculoskeletal problems can be resolved without pain pills, procedures, or surgery. We are here to show you how.

See What Our Patients Have to Say

Every story is different. Every result is real. See what our patients are saying about their experience with us in Portsmouth, NH.

I have been going to CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates since January. My issues were with my left knee and partially torn left rotator cuff. From my initial consultation with Dr Holly and Dr Maddie through all my PT sessions they have truly made a difference with both my knee and shoulder pain. They take the time to explain every exercise and ensure your form is correct when performing each exercise. Additionally they also provide a home exercise program that is easy to follow with videos! I would highly recommend CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates

I have had a great experience at CJ PT. I experienced some lower back pain. The team there (shout out to Dr. Melissa) did a thorough evaluation, explained to me what was going on with my back in terms I could understand, and led me through stretches and exercises that alleviated the condition. I especially like that when we discussed an exercise, a video instruction of the exercise showed up on my PT app before I got home so I could perform the exercise properly. The staff is warm and welcoming and the follow up is solid. Highly recommend.
