Dr. Tim Salkowski PT, DPT, COMT

CEO/Founder of Anchorline Physical Therapy & Wellness

Dr. Tim grew up in Palmyra, where he played soccer and baseball at Palmyra High School and earned his second-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do from Chang Karate School in Cinnaminson. While he was never the most naturally gifted athlete on the field, he was consistently one of the strongest and most conditioned. That discipline and commitment to improvement became the foundation of his approach to health, performance, and patient care. He first got into helping people by becoming a personal trainer, where he began instructing individuals, small groups, and eventually full classes.

He graduated cum laude from Rutgers University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and went on to earn his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rutgers. During his clinical training, he worked alongside exceptional mentors who sharpened his clinical reasoning and reinforced his commitment to evidence-based care. He developed a particular interest in blood flow restriction training from a research perspective—an interest that continues to shape how he approaches strength, rehabilitation, and long-term resilience.

Dr. Tim has completed advanced training in orthopedic manual therapy (COMT) and neuroanatomical approaches through Integrated Kinetic Neurology (IKN). With six years of experience as a physical therapist and four years managing an outpatient facility, he has seen firsthand the limitations of high-volume models of care—where clinicians may juggle multiple patients at once and rely on standardized, cookie-cutter treatment plans. While that system can be efficient, it often leaves little room for individualized strategy or deeper clinical problem-solving.

That realization led him to found Anchorline Physical Therapy & Wellness.

At Anchorline, every session is delivered one-on-one. Each plan of care is built specifically around the individual—not a template. His goal is not simply to reduce pain, but to help patients build resilience, move with confidence, and return to the activities that matter most to them—stronger than before.

Dr. Tim lives in Riverton with his wife, Natalia. He remains deeply connected to the local community and is proud to serve the area that helped shape him.

What Our Clients Say

“Working with Tim has been completely different from any other PT experience I’ve had. This isn’t the typical clinic setup where you’re rushed through exercises while your therapist rotates between 3–4 patients. Every session was intentional, focused, and one-on-one.

He takes the time to do a deep evaluation not just of the injury, but also lifestyle, sports, and long-term goals. His attention to detail and ability to explain the ‘why’ behind everything made a huge difference in my progress and confidence.

As a swimmer, I use lots of different muscles, and he was able to explain what muscles hurt, why they hurt, what exercises may have caused the pain, and the alternatives so it wouldn’t come back. He worked me through my injuries and got me back in the water as soon as possible — and now I’m back to breaking records.

On top of that, Tim is someone you genuinely enjoy working with. He’s knowledgeable, professional, extremely personable, and one of the funniest guys I know. I actually enjoyed going to PT, unlike other places where it felt hopeless and boring.

If you’re looking for real, individualized care — not standard, assembly-line physical therapy — I highly recommend working with Tim. I’ve gone to him multiple times for different injuries, and each time he gets me back out there while making PT fun.”

- Riley, TCNJ Athlete

“I originally started working with Tim about 6 years ago with a knee injury that wouldn’t go away. After a few sessions with Tim I was already seeing improvement, and a month later I was back to squatting maximal weight.

Since then, Tim has been my go-to for all injuries and impingements, big or small. He’s quick to answer and get me into the door, and I’m back to training within a few sessions.

Tim doesn’t just diagnose and heal the injury, he’ll work with you to find its root cause so that it can be prevented from happening again. Rather than relying on generic rehab exercises, he utilizes a variety of techniques and movements tailored to my specific limitations and abilities. It felt very individualized, and each progression made sense for where I was at.

For anyone reading this and thinking about contacting Tim, do it. Although extremely professional, working with Tim has felt like working with a close friend. He is a wealth of knowledge, and I always returned to sport shortly after our first sessions.”

- Steve, CrossFit Athlete

I started working with Dr.Tim a year ago after experiencing the worst pain of my life! The sciatica pain I endured seemed to have come out of nowhere and immobilized me immediately. With Tim’s help, I was able to sleep and sit more comfortably and regain a lot of strength. My condition did ultimately result in surgery but I  was back at Dr.Tim’s table within 4 weeks and on my now very strong feet. At 44, and a very stressful, long hours desk job, mobility is top of mind for me now. Physical therapy is no longer a response in my mind, but rather a part of a maintenance program! I have been back to a 5 days a week exercise schedule that ranges from Pilates to CrossFit like classes and seeing Dr.Tim once a month helps me stay in control of whatever soreness I am experiencing. I’ve learned a lot on form and injury prevention from him, and plan on a continued journey to my strongest self!

Your Questions, Answered

What can I expect during the initial evaluation?

Your first session is a comprehensive, one-on-one assessment designed to uncover the true drivers of your pain. We’ll review your history, discuss your goals, and perform a detailed movement analysis guided by orthopedic principles and a neuroanatomical approach to function.

By the end of the session, you’ll have clarity — not just about what hurts, but why — along with a structured plan tailored specifically to you.


How quickly will I see results?

Many clients notice measurable improvements within the first few sessions, especially with recent or acute injuries. Chronic or recurring conditions often require a more structured progression to create lasting change.

Our focus is not just short-term relief, but restoring strength, movement quality, and long-term resilience so results actually hold.


Do you accept insurance?

Anchorline is a direct-pay practice, which allows us to provide highly personalized, one-on-one care without the limitations often imposed by traditional insurance models.

While we do not bill insurance directly, we can provide detailed documentation if you wish to pursue out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients also use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for their care.
