Michael Locantore

PT, DPT

Physical Therapist

I grew up in Fairfield, New Jersey. I attended undergraduate college at Montclair State University, and continued onto PT school at Rutgers University. I have been treating for 5 years all in outpatient physical therapy and have spent time in sports rehab. Have also been in the patient’s shoes undergoing Tendon repair and having 6 months of PT prior to becoming a physical therapist.

I am motivated to help people achieve their full potentials which otherwise might not be reached without PT. I have been through a number of injuries on my own and want to ensure that patients get the best treatment possible.

I want to help patients with physical and mental barriers returning back to something as simple as getting up from a chair to as challenging as returning to college athletics. I am dedicated to doing everything I can to make sure the goal is achieved and not given cookie-cutter recovery programs. I enjoy assisting in helping patients get back to their prior lives and specialize in athletes getting back onto the field as quickly but safely as possible.

I enjoy treating orthopedic and sports injuries. I also enjoy being able to truly make a difference in patients’ lives and making sure patients do not just feel like a number when they come in.

When I’m not working, I enjoy watching and playing sports along with exercising at the gym.

I definitely recommend Carroll PT. From the front desk to therapists & assistants everyone is wonderful, helpful & nice! 
Mike was my PT & highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, personable, helpful & patient. He has helped me tremendously on my road to recovery!

Carroll PT is outstanding! I received a thorough diagnosis and was given explanations of the intent of each activity to know more about how the process would work. On top of the expert work, the people are incredible. The relationships that everyone there had with their patients illustrate the level of care that goes into their work. My ultrarunning season is alive thanks to Mike and all he did to work with me.

The only PT practice I would go to or refer anyone to! I’ve been treated by basically every practitioner there, and they all are insanely talented, with different approaches that all complement each other. Mike and Mary have treated various family members who have had amazing and quick results from treatment. There’s an amazing culture that exists at Carroll PT – from the admin, practitioners, techs, etc. – the whole team cares about quality and cares about the person. Highly recommend.
