Holiday Stroll

The Chamber of Commerce of Pompton Lakes hosted their annual Holiday Stroll on December 3rd, 2011. The stroll ran along Wanaque Ave starting at the library and ending at the railroad tracks. Wayne Physical Therapy & Spine Center participated in the event as well as other local vendors to promote business and show their support for the town. Barry & staff handed out mugs of hot coffee which was the perfect touch to a cold December night. Neighbors, local workers, council members, shoppers and students all gathered to ring in the holiday season and made the event a huge success. A picture from the Holiday Stroll is displayed below featuring Barry Inglett, PT & Co-Owner, and staff members Christine & Jenn.

Wayne Physical Therapy & Spine Center
Supports Physical Therapy!!

In continuous support of our profession of physical therapy, Wayne Physical Therapy & Spine Center had a busy summer hosting volunteers who came to seek experience and explore career options in the field of physical therapy! With fall underway and October being National Physical Therapy month, it seems a good time to mention that we continue our endeavors as we serve as clinical educators for physical therapy programs in universities in the northeastern region of the United States. This internship is a vigorous one for final affiliate students who will be continuing in the area of orthopedic physical therapy. At Wayne Physical Therapy & Spine Center, we hope our commitment to our students will help ensure the quality of physical therapists entering the field.

Barry and his son Jared recently completed a five-day backpacking trip in the white mountains of New Hampshire. “Climbing Mount Washington was no easy task,” said Barry. “I am trying to be a good example for my family, my patients and him by trying to stay fit, despite the fact that I just recently turned 60.”

June 2011- The clinical staff at Wayne Physical Therapy & Spine Center has been given the opportunity to observe spinal surgery at New Jersey Spine & Rehabilitation Surgical Center (NJSR) located in Pompton Lakes, NJ. Here is a picture of Barry Inglett PT, CHT in the operating room after standing on his feet for 6 hours. (Scary isn't it?)

The surgeons at NJSR are top notch and using up to date, minimally invasive technology for the spine. It is incredible how they guide surgical devices into the disc with use of Fluoroscopic technology. For more information and surgical videos, please visit www.njsrlaserspine.com.
