Lou DiGiovine PT is a clinically-talented orthopedic manual therapist with 41 years experience. Lou graduated from the very first class at The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in June 1980, giving him the distinction of being one of the first eighteen physical therapists graduating in the State of New Jersey. Lou was an active participating clinician of the New Jersey Spine Institute, North American Spine Society and is still an active member of The American Physical Therapy Association. He is licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Physical Therapy. He has inspired others to follow his lead and with the addition of experienced and qualified staff over the years, he has expanded the scope of Excellent Physical Therapy to include all orthopedic musculo-skeletal conditions including the treatment of knees, shoulders, fractures, joint replacements, pediatric and geriatrics.

Although his life’s work has been physical therapy, his first love has always been baseball. In PT school, he once wrote a paper for a kinesiology course called the “Biomechanics of Pitching a Baseball.”  This was a sign of what was to come in the future. Because of his love for baseball, Lou has combined his physical therapy knowledge, ten years of baseball coaching experience, and his understanding of sports-related injuries and is pursuing a special interest in the prevention and rehab of baseball injuries. Recently, he successfully rehabilitated three young pitchers that underwent “Tommy John Surgery,” a very specialized injury and surgical reconstruction of a pitcher’s elbow.
