Fast-growing JAG Physical Therapy recently opened its newest clinics in New Jersey.  

Including the new Chester and Kearny locations, the Bridgewater-based physical and occupational therapy brand now operates more than 170 offices throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. 

Chester

Located at 510 Main St. in Chester, the site marks JAG’s eighth clinic in Morris County. The facility offers a range of specialized services, including occupational therapy, injury prevention and sports medicine services. 

Clinical Director Joelle Manganella will oversee operations at the facility. Her specialties include concussion management, vestibular therapy, TMJ treatment and post-operative rehabilitation, according to JAG. 

“Our Chester team is incredible, and we’re thrilled to bring top-quality care to this new community,” Manganella said in a statement.

Kearny

Located at 206 Bergen Ave., JAG’s new Kearny clinic is its 10th site in Hudson County. 

Clinical Director Rachel Abill will manage the new office, which offers a range of specialized services including occupational therapy, orthopedic rehab and sports medicine. 

Abill noted the “incredibly skilled team of clinicians” looks forward to supporting patients “through personalized care plans tailored to their individual needs.” 

Individuals do not need a referral from a doctor to begin treatment at the new locations. Patients can work with a therapist for up to 30 days before needing a referral to continue services.

Stretching across NJ

Last fall, JAG marked a milestone with its Hackettstown location opening. The debut brought the brand to all 21 New Jersey counties. It followed up that site with launches in Aberdeen, Belleville and more sites in New York state. 

“I never imagined when my wife and I opened the door at 1,800 square feet – that I’d be proud to say that going into 2026 we’ll be 172 locations, and hovering around 2,000 hard-working, dedicated teammates working alongside us,” JAG Physical Therapy founder Founder John Gallucci Jr. told NJBIZ last year. 

The 2025 NJBIZ Business of the Year finalist is also the official provider of physical therapy for sports teams such as New York City FC, New Jersey Devils, Columbia University Athletics and Princeton University Athletics.
