Doctor Alex Miscannon

President, Physical Therapist NJ#: 40QA01942800; PA#: PT028019

Far too often, people do not get the proper care they need in the profit-centered healthcare system. After finally becoming fed up with being told to overcharge patient's insurance providers, Alex said enough was enough. TORQ Physical Therapy was born from a passion to provide a higher standard of care for patients who needed a natural and attainable way to relieve and prevent their pain.

Alex graduated from Widener University with both a Bachelors in Psychology and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. He is one of the only Physical Therapists to have both of these degrees, and he prides himself in his ability to connect with his patients not only through movement, but by helping them overcome their pains with relaxation and stress reduction techniques. He believes that many of these techniques for patients to fix their problems should be offered at a free rate, therefore, he's written several books to provide relief to anyone who may benefit, even those who are under- or uninsured.

Alex is a Black Belt in Ryukyu Kempo and, due to his maturity and dedication to the sport, was the second youngest to achieve this goal that year. He enjoys implementing the relaxation, meditation, breathing, and stretching techniques he learned in martial arts within his Physical Therapy programs. He believes these techniques help to provide a more holistic and mindful approach to Physical Therapy and movement. Along with martial arts, he also enjoys running and weight lifting. You'll often find him in the gym, on a running trail, or even in the office lifting weights between patients!
