Physical Therapy in Cambridge

“Cannot recommend enough. Before finding Step Ahead all my PT experiences were very impersonal. After suffering a back injury last year Karen was spectacular. Highly recommend!“

“I had my first consult with Melissa, she took time to listen to my concerns about a pulled hamstring not fully healed after three months. It took her about one look at my legs to sense there was a more holistic issue I didn't suspect. She confirmed her hunch with a few manipulations and exercises. I am now following a series of exercises she recommended, and we'll see if these yield results over time. Melissa is passionate, caring and super knowledgeable. I don't yet know if her insight is the right one, we'll see over time, but it certainly made sense.“

“The staff at Bay State Physical Therapy are amazing! Everyone is super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Jolene is the best! She worked with me to come up with a plan of care that got me from daily shoulder pain back to full health in a little over 3 months. I can't recommend Bay State (and Jolene) enough!“

“If you’re near Kendall, Joint Ventures on Third St is an absolute no-brainer when it comes to PT. Having shattered my clavicle, I worked with Jack for many months for PT rehab and he was simply outstanding.First, in incredible contrast, I originally tried a PT place that is literally across the street from me (it’s a national chain with three initials). To my dismay, it was like a loud factory gym setup, with an open floor plan. I wasn’t into the whole online “gaming” of PT per task completion, and I felt like a number. After one intake exam, I left.In contrast, JV was relaxing, welcoming, quiet (private treatment rooms), and each session was always one-on-one attention for 40 minutes. For starters, not only did I need and receive the specific muscle/tendon massage required for the injury for much of my time there, Jack always put me through my paces in conjunction with my surgeon’s directions (it was originally a lot of stretching and eventually graduating to weight bearing exercises). I really felt like Jack was personable and kind, and we even had some fun working together. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me through this journey, and will certainly to head back there after my follow-up surgery later this year. JV works with BodyScapes Fitness, which is great as we used their exercise equipment for weight bearing exercises. Plus, Jack helped me set up a “pre-hab” program (with an online portal) to continue my PT once I “graduated” — with weight lifting and stretching exercises to continue at home before the upcoming surgery.Additionally, both Mel and Caroline were aces at the front desk and always went above and beyond for me. They always helped me get set up with appointments, managed rare cancellations due to illness, and made everything (insurance, co-pays, etc.) a breeze. They both were both incredibly kind, engaging, and always brought a badly needed smile to my face before each session — which is huge. When you’re in pain post-injury, PT can be daunting and isn’t fun. Plus, it takes a lot of at-home effort in between sessions to recover. As Jack, Mel, and Caroline were a team who cheered me on every step of the way, that’s the kind of support that goes above and beyond and I’m genuinely grateful here.So, if you’re looking for PT, don’t give it another thought. Just get Mel and Caroline on the phone, and book your first appointment at Joint Ventures!“

“I have now been going to JoHanna for the past four weeks and, in the last 15 years of my life, have never felt this pain-free. As a two sport college athlete I had injuries and pain (i.e.,back, neck, shoulder) that have worsened over time - JoHanna’s work has enabled me to sleep with minimal pain, which is something I have not been able to experience in over 15 years.To say that JoHanna is a blessing would be an understatement. Her professionalism, support, care, empathy, and positivity isinfectious. Charity in the business office is amazing as well! Thank you to the team!!JoHanna, my husband and I are so grateful to have found you! Thank you for being you!“
