Deepening Commitment to Partnership Includes New Facility Within Walking Distance of Rutgers Campus, On-Site Certified Athletic Trainers and Increased Brand Visibility On Campus
Bridgewater, N.J. (October 30, 2024) – JAG Physical Therapy, one of the fastest growing comprehensive physical and occupational therapy practices providing rehabilitative care to patients and sports teams in over 150 locations across the Northeast, proudly announces the renewal of their ongoing partnership with Rutgers University Athletics as their preferred physical therapy provider.
By continuing this partnership, which began in 2022, JAG Physical Therapy will ensure that Rutgers’ more than 730 student-athletes receive the highest quality sports medicine and physical & occupational therapy services available in the heart of New Jersey. The company will continue to provide student-athletes with an on-site certified athletic trainer in order to evaluate injuries and provide rehabilitative services throughout their athletic careers at Rutgers.
In addition to the renewal, JAG Physical Therapy recently opened its 150th facility in New Brunswick, selecting a site that is just a two-minute drive or a short walk away from the campus. This proximity is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing a wide range of specialized services to the full Rutgers University community of over 67,000 students and 10,000 faculty members. At a recent ribbon cutting for the new office, Rutgers’ beloved mascot, Sir Henry the Scarlet Knight, and other Rutgers representatives were present in support of this increasingly close partnership.
“As the birthplace of college football, Rutgers is one of America’s most important athletic institutions,” said John Gallucci Jr., President & CEO of JAG Physical Therapy. “Our ongoing partnership as their preferred physical therapy provider will ensure that our Scarlet Knights and the full Rutgers student and faculty population have access to the best trainers, therapists, equipment and facilities right in their own neighborhood.”
“We’re thrilled to continue working closely with JAG Physical Therapy to support the immediate and long-term health needs of our student-athletes,” said Lisa Tirrell, President and Chief Executive Officer for Scarlet Asset Management Company (SAMCO), a subsidiary of Rutgers University. “As we continue our partnership, we know our players, teams and fans are all in great hands with JAG’s incredible, devoted team of athletic trainers and therapists, on-site and nearby. We are proud to consider them part of our Rutgers family.”
With this partnership, JAG Physical Therapy’s signage will continue to be seen at Rutgers sports games and The Yard, the campus’s “front porch” for residential life and the wider New Brunswick community, throughout the year, increasing awareness of the vital health services that are easily accessible for anyone in need.
