WELCOME TO
Pursue Physical Therapy
No. New Jersey operates under a law called Direct Access. Since Physical Therapists are Doctors they are able to evaluate, diagnose you and treat you all in the same session saving your time and money! You’ll especially benefit from this if you want to begin therapy quickly—often the same day or within a few days of contact—since you don’t need to wait for a physician’s referral. Our team also maintains ongoing communication with your referring physician when applicable, ensuring continuity and coordination of care for optimal results.
We accept most insurances as well as having cash options. Because everyone has a different insurance plan please call our office so we can better assist you. Additionally, even though we are often out-of-network, our team can help with insurance benefit verification, submitting claims, and estimating your cost up front so there are no surprises. We also provide superbills and support with reimbursement documentation to make the process seamless for patients using out-of-network benefits.
Since we are an out of network provider we are able to spend more quality 1-on-1 time with clients and will help you get better faster. Our patient first philosophy ensures that each individual's needs and concerns are prioritized, leading to a more effective and personalized treatment experience. While most PT clinics see you 3x a week with many other patients at the same time, we usually see you 1-2x a week. You tend to need less visits, and in the long run may end up spending less with us than a traditional PT practice when you consider your deductible, co-pay, and extra visits needed, not to mention all the time you spent there. Each plan of care is tailored to you: after a detailed initial evaluation, Dr. Cruz (and his team) estimate roughly how many sessions you’ll need—often fewer than industry averages—while aiming for lasting outcomes.
Our integrated team provides an entire approach to health, fitness, and performance that assures you get the care you need. We work with anyone looking to get the most out of their bodies. Our clients range from high school athletes, to weekend warriors, to corporate executives, to fitness enthusiasts, to professional athletes from every sport. We also offer specialized recovery services such as dry needling, soft‑tissue mobilization, blood flow restriction therapy, and sports‑specific rehab to support return to sport and high performance. We routinely track functional progress with validated outcome tools and adjust treatment to ensure continual improvements based on real-time data.
WHY PURSUE PT WAS STARTED
Find out why there is no North Jersey PT clinic like us! Our clinic was born out of a desire to challenge the standard model of care and empower patients with high-level, science-backed rehabilitation delivered by experts.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Dr. Cruz is a miracle worker. I came into Pursue PT after an ankle sprain hoping to get back to very high level of volleyball before my fast approaching season started. With the help of Dr. Cruz, I have met my goals earlier than expected and have been feeling stronger than ever. His impressive academic background and thorough approach to rehabilitating my injury gives me complete faith in him to treat any ailment I can imagine. The clinic is always spotless and my impossible schedule is always somehow accommodated for. I look forward to referring all of my colleagues and teammates to Pursue PT. Thanks again, Dr. Cruz!
After almost a year post surgery from a torn tendon in my ankle and still having pain I looked to Pursue for help. Dr. Brandon Cruz was amazing to work with, he was so wise and knew exactly what to do to get to the results I desired! His manipulations were the best I’ve ever recieved (and as a dancer I have been to many PTs in the past). After just 5 sessions, the pain is completely gone even after performing en pointe! All in all a fabulous experience at Pursue!! Additionally their performance trainer Anton is knowledgeable and excellent at his craft but moreover he is caring and gets results! He has helped me develop fitness goals, conquer them and reach for more! Whether you come here for a PT treatment, performance training or both, you will NOT be disappointed!
I spent several weeks at a different PT location and decided to give Pursue PT a visit. I accomplished more in the first session at Pursue than weeks at the other place. Immediately, you can tell you are in good hands when you walk through the door. A personable and professional staff that takes the time to listen to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan specifically for you. The communication within the office is second to none which translates to consistent treatment and faster results. Whatever your injury, whatever your motivation: Pursue PT is a must.
I do powerlifting and came to Dr. Cruz with both a knee issue and a partially torn labrum in my shoulder. Right away I was struck by the fact that instead of most physical therapists who just mindlessly give you exercises to do, he took time to troubleshoot what hurt and find what things fixed the pain.
