🌌 Our Philosophy
Manual Therapy. Focused Attention. Real Results.
Stride Physical Therapy was founded with one mission: to restore the lost art of personalized care. In a world full of busy clinics, double-booked therapists, and generic programs, we believe in doing things differently.
Here, every session is one-on-one. No aides. No distractions. Just skilled hands, expert eyes, and a customized plan that evolves with you.
Whether you're recovering from surgery, battling chronic pain, or simply want to move better, Stride is where your recovery gets real.

Founder of Stride Physical Therapy – Freehold, NJ
Introducing Kanwal Bhardwaj, the cornerstone of Stride Physical Therapy, located in the heart of Freehold, NJ. With over two decades of tireless devotion to the field, Kanwal has built a reputation for clinical excellence, personalized care, and unwavering commitment to his patients' recovery.
His journey in physical therapy began in 2004 after earning his Master of Science in Orthopedic Physical Therapy from the esteemed Quinnipiac University. Since then, he has meticulously refined his clinical techniques across a robust 20+ year career in diverse outpatient orthopedic settings.
Driven by a passion for continued growth, Kanwal pursued advanced certifications that elevated his clinical edge:
-
2014: Certified Integrated Manual Therapist (CIMT)
-
2021: Certified Manual and Neurodynamic Therapist (CMNT)
-
2025: IADN Certified Specialist in Dry Needling (80+ hours advanced training)
This layered expertise allows Kanwal to treat beyond symptoms — uncovering root dysfunctions, correcting movement patterns, and accelerating long-term healing. His approach is holistic, hands-on, and highly individualized.
Every treatment plan reflects his belief that physical therapy should restore function, freedom, and confidence — not just manage pain. His patient-first philosophy, clinical precision, and compassionate care make Kanwal and Stride Physical Therapy a standout in Freehold’s healthcare community.
