Our Team

Christopher Lang PT, Cert. MDT, DPT, SCS, is a co-founder of Impact Physical Therapy which was established in 2020. His primary shared goal for establishing a practice was to provide the local community with a superior rehabilitation experience which focuses on providing one-on-one, manual-based therapy, functional exercises and evidence based treatments from highly skilled and effective therapists. Chris graduated from Seton Hall University with a B.S. in Biology in 2002, followed by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers University) in 2004 with a Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy. Chris joined a regional hospital in Staten Island, NY where he had the opportunity to work in both acute rehabilitation and outpatient settings. In 2010, Chris and his wife Melissa relocated to Manalapan, NJ where they currently reside with their two children. Chris joined another local hospital in Monmouth County in 2011 and had the opportunity to develop his skills in the area of outpatient sports physical therapy. Chris has earned multiple certifications which include: Sports Certified Specialist from the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties, Certified in the McKenzie Method (MDT), fully body Active Release Technique certified (ART), Titleist Performance Institute certified (TPI), Functional Movement Screen certified (FMS), Selective Functional Movement Assessment certified (SFMA) and Graston technique certified. As a dedicated clinician, he is focused on ensuring that every patient and athlete achieves the results they desire and return back to work, sport or recreational activities as quickly as possible.

In the last 10 years, Chris and Marc have witnessed, with concern, the changes in how physical therapists and clinics deliver care in response to declining insurance reimbursement rates. Unfortunately, many of their patients have reported experiences at clinics where quality therapists are under significant production pressures and find themselves in a situation where they are double or tripled booked with patients. Many of these patients are left alone to perform their exercises without input, feedback or corrective cuing while their therapist works with other patients. Marc and Chris started this practice for patients to receive the highest quality care from therapists who are given the resources and time to deliver it.

Chris was born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island, New York. He enjoys spending time with his wife Melissa and their children, Liam and Abigail. In his spare time he enjoys skiing, fishing, golfing and cycling.

As Impact PT practice owners, Marc and Chris’ core mission is to improve the health and well-being of the community through a unique patient-driven treatment model focusing on defining each patient’s individual needs, improving their awareness and understanding of the injury or condition and providing undivided professional attention during every visit to ensure uninterrupted rehab progress and maximum results.
