Our Sports Rehabilitation Specialist:

The Performance Enhancement Training program is led by Angel Montanez, ATC, LAT, PES. Mr. Montanez is a certified Performance Enhancement Specialist from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. His training experience extends from preadolescents to competitive athletes to senior citizens. He is also a licensed athletic trainer in the State of New Jersey with over 10 years experience at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. Currently Angel designs sport-specific strength & conditioning programs for adolescents at a private high school as well as assists the Sports Medicine staff of the San Diego Padres Development Team in the Dominican Republic.

The Program: 
In order to design the most effective prehab and performance enhancement programs, we look at the following components within all athletes:

Past Medical History

Past Medical History – To deliver the most effective training program you must know what injuries or conditions your athlete has gone through. These injuries or limitations may have a dramatic effect on the drills and exercises you choose to train youth athletes.

Prior Training History

Prior Training History – It is never wise to begin a training program without establishing a proper base. We will evaluate what you have or have not done before in order to educate you and ensure proper development moving forward to avoid injury.

Postural Alignment & Biomechanics

Postural Alignment & Biomechanics – Understanding how posture and biomechanics affect an athlete’s movement capacity and patterns of movement is important in reducing injuries and preventing overtraining. What do I mean? I generally look at consistent things like standing posture, hip/knee alignment, the arches of the feet, single leg stance posture and flexibility. In addition, I really like to observe the overhead squat maneuver to see how athletes move as a kinetic chain. Can they squat without compensation? Do the knees cave inward? Do they favor one leg? What happens at the ankle? Noting these things can predict a lot about how they will move during strength training, plyometrics and agility exercises.

Basic Strength Assessment

Basic Strength Assessment – We assess the athlete’s ability to control his/her own body weight. A few key tests I look at are: single leg squats, single leg reaches, pull-ups, push-ups, and planks. Keep in mind that the quality, not quantity, of the movement is the most important factor to observe.

Dynamic Movement Analysis

Dynamic Movement Analysis – I like to observe how athlete’s reach with the arms and legs in multiple planes to see how the athlete handles changes in the center of gravity. Additionally, I like to observe single leg stance with the eyes closed in order to see how much visual correction is necessary to overcome vestibular (inner ear) and joint kinesthetic deficiencies.

All of these components above mention play an integral role in the training blueprint for successful athletic performance programming. Ignoring any of them will lead to less than optimal results.

And Our Patients Agree

Dr. Scerbo's support staff was professional and knowledgeable and other physical therapists working with Dr. Scerbo appeared to be very competent. Plaudits to Scerbo Physical Therapy!

Harvey Berkey Patient
All in all, who would think that physical therapy could be a great experience? It was at Scerbo.

Natalie Robbins Patient
Approaching my second hip replacement, I am not dreading my rehab. If this seems like an over-the-top endorsement, it is. Because it's all true. Patients leave Scerbo Physical Therapy with a big smile. Oh, and less pain.

Patricia N. Emmy Award winning writer Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lily Tomlin, Rhoda etc.
Overall, this is a PT place I recommended to friends and family members if they needed physical therapy and none have been disappointed with their treatment. To me this is exceptional care combined with truly empathetic and wonderful people.

Nancy Flogaites Patient
They made me feel like a friend, not a patient. They were gentle and understanding when the therapy was painful. I have the highest regard and deepest respect for Dr. Frank Scerbo and his team. They did for me what no medication could accomplish. Their professionalism and caring were the perfect prescription to ease the pain and speed my total recovery. I'm forever grateful.

Marvin Scott WPIX Correspondent/Anchor; 7 time Emmy Winner
It's the only Rehab I would recommend! The office is Cheerful, Friendly, and provides a beautiful View of the New York Skyline on the Hudson... What more can you ask for?

Francine K. Patient
I highly recommend everyone from Scerbo PT all the way from the front desk office administrators down to the PT aides.

Andrew Collins Fair Lawn, NJ
With a blink of an eye, we would recommend Dr. Frank to anyone who needs physical therapy. We’re glad we got this opportunity to express our gratitude to him.
