Pursue Physical Therapy & Performance Training

First he called me by a different name guessing by my race but not by my real name in front of everyone, He had about 4 other people he was attending at the same time. The cancellation fee is $50. He tried to build a rapport instead of trying to attend my injuries, by asking questions in front of everyone. I thought it was a one-on-one but it felt like a group physical therapy. I show them the script and x-rays but still had to ask me questions felt like he didn't bother with the instructions in the script.

I had ACL reconstruction surgery a while back and needed a place to go. This place was nearby, and I haven’t stopped going since. Great people here that help you with your journey and get you back on your feet. Shout out to Marta and Patrick, my PT crew.

Dr. Mike is a true expert in his field. As a sports medicine practitioner with over 20 years of experience, it’s my job to identify and collaborate with the best—and I haven’t worked with anyone better than Dr. Mike. His depth of knowledge, compassionate care, and commitment to helping people move pain-free set him apart. I confidently refer my athletes and clients to him, and as a patient myself, I know I’m in the best hands possible.

Hands down, this has been the best physical therapy experience I’ve had! And, a very successful one! Dr. Mike really dedicated his time, and expertise, to resolving my myriad of issues! There wasn’t a session I showed up to that I didn’t hear, “I was thinking about your case last night (or over the weekend) and I want to try….” He is truly the best!

Your Hoboken location was also unique to me in that it wasn’t loaded with too many clients, all vying for the attention of the PT. Your staff (Ashley) always had a smile and was so pleasant to deal with! You are running a great operation! I wish you lots of continued success!

Folks at Pursue know their stuff. Mike is AMAZING. He is kind and compassionate and provides a highly individualized approach to care. He listens carefully, and has incredible attention to detail when it comes to your form. With his help, I have regained strength, and have been able to safely return to doing things I love. He has shown genuine care in my progress.
I highly recommend Pursue PT, they make you feel so welcome!

I’ve been coming to this place for years now for different injuries. And after an almost 2 year hiatus, I returned due to an elbow injury. Under the care of Dr. Mike De La Cruz, he was able to address the issue and had me leave pain free on the very first day. I had worked with Dr. De La Cruz prior, but it was almost as if he was a whole new person this time around. With the knowledge he has gained in the 2 years, it is an easy tell that he loves what he does and he loves advancing his knowledge. If you truly want a professional who understands and addresses all of your issues, Pursue PT is the only option.

I highly recommend Pursue PT in Hoboken! The therapists are exceptional! Before starting with them, I had such bad hip pain that I was losing my ability to walk and stand for extended periods. I was feeling trapped in my body and scared. After working with Pat and Mike for 4 months, I am nearly pain free. I am now walking multiple miles a day as well as getting into running, which I could not do before due to pain. I have felt seen as a whole person, and my pain and experience have been taken seriously every time. Going to a session is empowering, uplifting, and challenging!

I've been a patient of Dr. Mike for several injuries, and his impact on my recovery each time has been outstanding. Dr. Mike stays up-to-date with the latest techniques and continuously pursues further education, ensuring that I receive top-notch care.
What truly sets him apart, though, is his ability to make every session enjoyable, even when the exercises are challenging. His positive attitude and engaging personality make each visit not just productive, but also fun. I highly recommend Dr. Mike to anyone looking for a skilled, dedicated, and personable physical therapist.

I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Mike, and after just one session, I already felt 100% better. He truly listened to all my concerns, thoroughly addressing each one from top to bottom, and took the time to help me understand what was going on with my neck. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, making the experience comfortable and welcoming. It’s rare to find a physical therapist who customizes your treatment and ensures every issue is properly addressed. I highly recommend them, a PT hidden gem in Hoboken!

I received excellent care from both Renee and Jonathan for my herniated lumbar disc. The one-on-one manual therapy and exercises helped me regain range and mobility and my pain level improved significantly. The entire team is warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this clinic.
