"The team at Sports & Physical Therapy are great. They are encouraging. They set realistic goals, then monitor your progress. They keep you from over doing and keeping your head in the game when progress is slow. This is one of the best physical therapy groups I have ever sent time with when needing some rehabilitation. The atmosphere is friendly and team oriented. Everyone seems to enjoy working with everyone else. The front desk staff does a great job of touching base on appointments and getting your paperwork all processed." Scott M. "I am a personal trainer and had injured my shoulder during one of my workouts. I was diagnosed with biceps tendonitis. I tried cortisone injections and 3 other PT places before I found Sports and Physical Therapy Assoc. When I went in for a consult, I was on the brink of shoulder surgery. I could not take the pain anymore and was discouraged by the horrible results from other PT places. My world changed when I went to SPT. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was given a strength training program to do in conjunction with my visits. Within a few weeks, I could see and feel the improvement. They empowered me to help myself. I am now fully healed without surgery. It's incredible how the right place can change your life. I highly recommend SPT. You won't be disappointed!" Wendy D., South Dennis, MA "If you need physical therapy, I would highly recommend Sports and Physical Therapy. I went after a total hip replacement. My physical therapist, Paula Bresnahan was an outstanding clinician. She was calm and reassuring and helped me through a very difficult time. She helped me regain not only my strength but my confidence. Paula listened to my concerns and offered me a program that continuously built endurance. She also gave me a program to work at home. I was always challenged but never in pain. I felt my sessions were personalized and each session helped me improve. The care and treatment I received was the best I have ever received in a medical environment. Others on the staff were so helpful! I felt like the entire group actually cared about me and every patient. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful! Great environment."
Gail R., Lexington, MA "As a physician with a 35 year history of sports-related over-use injuries, I am far more familiar than I would like to be with rehab and physical therapy. Chris Morin in Newton Center provided superb care for nagging plantar fasciitis. Based on my own care, and observing him treat other patients with a wide range of ages and other injuries, he clearly brings a sense of personal interest and passion for his trade; this is combined with his deep intellectual grasp of pathology and therapy techniques, persistence, and a truly wonderful and humorous bedside manner. Hopefully I will never need to see him again, but in the likely event that I re-injure myself I will definitely return." Sean S., Physician, Boston, MA "I'm not sure if it's a good thing that I'm now the duke of SPTA... This is now my second stint in physical therapy! The first time was for a torn rotator cuff, and now to recover from ACL surgery. I wasn't a Yelper back during the shoulder, but now I think a review is long overdue! I have to give a shout out to Mandy. She got me through my rotator cuff recovery, and even though I think she secretly enjoys inflicting pain, I definitely would not have made it without her pushing me that little bit further each time. Now I'm working with Pat, and he's also great! I think I'm probably more disciplined this time around since I know the drill, but he definitely knows his stuff as well. SPTA is the spot to get yourself back to match fitness! " Brian B., Brighton, MA "I have been going to Sports and Phsyical Therapy Associates for 4 weeks now for some disk dgeneration and a muscle spasm, which has been a source of much pain, burning and tingling sensations from one shoulder side to the fingers. I am working with Julia and she is ably assisted by Jill. Julia and Jill are a good team and I have been very pleased with their professionalism, very good natures, efficieny, skills and talents. Julia proscibed a number of modalities that have helped with the pain. It is always a pleasant experience (as a medical one can get) and the entire staff is pleasant, helpful and caring. I highly recommend the team here. It is apparent all of the therapists work together because if one is busy the other one will chip in, but it always seems like your assigned therapists always has her eyes on you." Jim S., Boston, MA "After surgery on my meniscus in January I was looking at getting physical therapy so I could get back to work. As a mountain guide and ski mountaineer, working on some of the highest peaks in the world, my body needs to be able to handle the intense rigors of the job. Jesse and Craig at Sports and Physical Therapy Associates guided me through my recovery going above and beyond what was required of them. Everyone there was so supportive and knowledgeable, helping me through every step. Yet at the same time making it fun and personable, as they continue to follow up with my recovery. Without a doubt because of them I was able to get back earlier than expected and resume doing what I love in the mountains." Andy, Ashford, WA "So, apparently, once you hit 30, you need to be careful since your warranty, I guess, expires. Of course, no one tells me this. So, first, I injured my shoulder. "No biggie," I thought. "Let it rest. Now, you have the opportunity and perhaps the motivation to start running again." Unfortunately, my knees weren't hip to my plan...at all. So, after my limp of shame from the Hatchshell back to Central Square, I figured it was time to seek some real help. One MRI and multiple X-rays later, I found myself at Sports and Physical Therapy down on Longwood Ave. (This company has multiple offices, but coming from Central Square, I felt that this office was the closest for me.) From the first eval, I knew I was going to like this place. Why? Jerry really knew his stuff. My biggest fear was that I would find yet another one of those "cookie cutter" kinds of places where everyone gets the exact same PT treatment. ("Stretch, now ride the bike, and massage...off you go!") Jerry took the time before and after the eval to discuss options based on my real responses. And when I say he took the time, I'm talking no rush whatsoever. That was appreciated. I worked with Jerry, Natasha, and Meredith at this office, and I highly recommend all three of them. Very personable, experienced, and helpful." David D. Cambridge, MA
"I went to SPTA Brookline with a shoulder condition that I had previously had in the other one. Julia Choi nursed my shoulder back to health in what I feel was record time. From the beginning, I could feel the benefits of her muscle massages. I'm not gonna lie, they were painful but their effect made the hurt well worth it. Not only is her expertise and talent on-spot, but she cares about her clients. I was never pushed off to interns or other therapist. I received personal attention at all times. She's also friendly, pleasant and general all-around good person who remembers client details. The rest of the staff are just as pleasant, efficient and professional. I highly recommend SPTA Brookline and especially, Julia Choi." Joanne G. Brookline, MA "Amanda is nursing me back to health so I can hit the ground running (literally). They open at 7 am and their last appointment is at 6:15 pm, so you don't have to rearrange your whole schedule to fit in a couple of appointments. Plus, they are open for a few hours on Saturday." Julianne M., Pittsburgh, PA “I cannot say enough great things about Jesse. He has rehabbed both my son (a 3 sport high school athlete) and me back to health multiple times. My son would not have been able to have the career he has had without Jesse. Jesse fields calls literally at all hours of the day or night and always goes the extra mile. He's the best!” John, Boston MA "I had the pleasure to work along side Joe Caligiuri for two NHL seasons and continue to utilize his input on a regular basis. Joe's work ethic, knowledge, and drive to return athletes to competition as soon as possible is his highest priority. He is one of the best in the country at what he does. I would love the opportunity to work with him again."
