Dr. Shaye Whaley PT, DPT

Physical Therapist

I grew up in Wood-Ridge and attended Ramapo College where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I then went on to attain my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Rutgers University–Newark.

During my clinical experiences, I had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings from outpatient orthopedics to inpatient neurological care.

Core Values: Kindness, honesty, and trustworthiness

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

At Rutherford Physical Therapy, I specialize in treating orthopedic conditions (i.e., post-operative rehabilitation, sports related injuries, and other musculoskeletal injuries) and neurological conditions (post-stroke rehabilitation).

So many people have to stop doing the activities they love because of pain and the inability to move the way they used to. I want to give patients the opportunity to get back to what they’re passionate about. I enjoy working with patients that are looking for a personalized one-on-one rehab experience.

I like working here because the welcoming and collaborative environment in the clinic is one of the best I’ve ever experienced while being introduced into the PT field.
