We are a family-owned physical therapy practice in Park Ridge, NJ, in northern Bergen County. Specializing in sports medicine and orthopedics, we also provide rehabilitation for post-surgical recovery, back pain, neck pain, and balance related conditions. We pride ourselves on delivering goal-driven, hands-on, individualized care to help you get back to what you love to do.
We recognize that medicine has changed over the years. Physical Therapists are under pressure to see more people in less time, and many family-owned PT practices have disappeared as larger corporate clinics expand. In the process, compassionate, personalized care has become harder to find—care where you feel heard, valued, and treated as an individual with your own goals.
Altius is a family-run physical therapy clinic. We’re locally owned and genuinely invested in the well-being of our community—our friends, our neighbors, and the people we see every day. We aren’t your typical PT clinic, and we don’t look, feel, or operate like one. When you walk through our door, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly, comfortable, high-energy space where you’re treated like family. We work hard to set ourselves apart with an exceptional standard of care that stays accessible, enjoyable and highly effective.
Dr. Evan Bracconeri is the founder and owner of Altius Physical Therapy. He graduated summa cum laude from the University at Buffalo in 2008 and went on to attend Columbia University, where he received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2012. During his time at Columbia, Evan completed rotations in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, with a special emphasis on the endurance athlete.
New Jersey Law allows potential clients to seek treatment from a physical therapist without a referral for up to thirty days (except Medicare).

Training for both strength and endurance puts unique demands on the body. A physical therapist reviews the new HYROX research, the injuries hybrid athletes run into, and what to change.
Your MRI report reads like a disaster, but does that mean your shoulder is bad? Why your symptoms should match the imaging before anyone talks surgery.
Hit 90% symmetry on your hop tests and plenty of clinics will clear you to play. We keep asking a different question: the number says ready, but does the athlete actually look ready?
