“Dr. Kim is a problem solver. During the initial evaluation, he conducted a thorough
assessment and different tests to find out the root cause of my lower back pain. He then
gave me a home exercise program that is customized for me. Rather than just treating my
pain, he asked me to perform specific exercises to treat the root cause he found. After
working with him for 2 months, my lower back pain has completely gone and now I can
play soccer and do squats without pain. I highly recommend Dr. Kim”

“I've been to a few physical therapists in New York and New Jersey, and Enjoy Wellness has been the best by far. Dr. SJ works on an individually-tailored program for each patient.
In my case (neck/shoulder problems) he carefully ascertains what works and what doesn't work each week and then he modifies the program, weekly, to maximize results. The program has been effective and a chronic problem has been measurably improved. Two thumbs up!”

I have been going to treat my ankle and Dr. SJ has been the absolute most supportive PT ever. He has taken the time to listen to my life activities and has been understanding while also encouraging me to keep practicing and doing my exercises. In general, the energy and vibe from the front desk to the personnel, feels good and welcoming.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend SJ Kim!!
My PCP recommended starting the PT since my chronic shoulder and lower back pains got worse and started to impact my sleep and work. I've tried many other
ways to ease this pain before I tried PT( honestly I was a bit skeptical over the PT). However, starting PT is the best choice and it improved my overall physical
health as well as the quality of my day-to-day life.
During the first visit, SJ analyzed my concerns/my goal and shared customized plans that I can easily apply to, and then he continued to improve the plan that suits
best for my condition over time. He is very knowledgeable, and friendly and he is a great listener as well. I find the session with SJ is always pleasant :) One time, I injured my left hip muscle while doing yoga and SJ alleviated the pain immediately by pressing the muscle, a knot. Then helped me to practice the
muscle movement so I can do the stretch exercise under his control. Within 15 mins the level of pain drops from 7 to 1. I felt like somehow he "rearranged" my
muscle, and it was truly a WOW moment. I fully trust his process! Since July, I've been going here two times a week regularly and the level of my acute pain slowly(because I was lazy in the beginning) went down from 8 to 2 (2 is only when I'm sitting in front of the laptop for an extended amount of hours). I'm very happy with this result. This place is new and not many people know but I highly recommend it to anyone.

Dr. SJ is very amazing! He showed me exercises that immediately relieved my sciatica pain. I've been to a number of PTs, and he is by far the best.

Dr SJ has done a wonderful job helping me get my shoulder back into shape after I dislocated it skiing. He talked me through the whole process and how everything was going to progress each appointment. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone who
has a PT need.

would recommend Enjoy Wellness and Dr. SJ to anyone in need of physical therapy

Dr SJ is amazing. I could barely move my arm before I started working with him. Now I’
m back to being a fully functional human. His approach is straightforward yet caring. He
is knowledgeable, helpful and an all around great person.

I went there with a frozen shoulder problem. Was not even sure what that was. Thanks to Dr. SJ he explained the whole thing and we started the healing process. Today after 7-8 months I have regained a lot of the movement I lost. I could barely move my arm backwards but today that is a different story. Cannot thank Dr. SJ enough to have taken me through this journey.

Dr. Kim is awesome!! I had neck pain for more than 3 years. On the first day, he cracked my neck and I had 70% of pain reduction and it lasted for a week. It was amazing. Since then I go see him whenever I have neck stiffness.

After dealing with both ankle and knee injuries, Dr. SJ really came through. Right from
day one, he did a thorough evaluation and set me up with a solid home exercise program.
I started noticing improvements every single week. Now I can walk and jog with pain free!
Huge thanks to Dr. SJ

I have been a patient of Dr. SJ for several years now for back problems and other physical ailments. Dr. SJ is a wonderful PT, caring deeply for his patients and extremely knowledgeable about different methods of therapy. Under his care I have improved
tremendously. My pain is now subsiding and I am able to enjoy life more .

I have been to PT many times in my life but I have found Dr. SJ's unique, highly
knowledgeable, integrative approach to be the most helpful. Other therapists seems to focus only on the injury; they often set you up with some exercise program and disappear. Because Dr. SJ is truly "hands on," he spends time with his patients to be sure they are
working in a way that not only reduces pain at the site of the complaint but restores the body to a functioning whole.

Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and explain everything that I need to know. My shoulder, back and knee is getting a lot better now. Thank you

Dr. Kim always showed a trustworthy attitude whenever I visited him for my knee pain, so I highly recommend him. He carefully diagnosed the imbalanced muscle development in my legs and showed me the correct posture when doing squat. He also showed how to actually relieve pain by balancing weak areas of the muscles with additional exercises I
can do at home. After repeating his treatment and the routine he suggested, my knee pain went away and now I feel much more confident when working out by myself. Many thanks to him
