I loved Outback Physical Therapy in Brookline! Ithmar was the most professional therapist I have ever had. On my first visit he explained my injury - dislocated shoulder, in detail and got me started with some exercises. On subsequent visit he massaged the shoulder and it felt like he was really skilled in what he was doing. I was very impressed at the wall of photos of many professional sports figures thanking Ithmar for resolving and healing their injuries. Sarah at the front desk was very friendly and helpful and made it a pleasure to come to appointments!

I didn't have high hopes for physical therapy after an experience in my teens left me feeling like PT was just exercises and ice packs. I shared this with Naomi on Day 1 and she committed to providing me a better experience. She has far-surpassed my expectations, supporting me through treating runner's knee, to surgery prep, and post-surgery recovery. Naomi's knowledge of the body and physical therapy methods have allowed her to perform some "PT Magic" - helping me walk out of sessions feeling ten times better than how I felt walking in. Sessions with Naomi have helped me to better take care of myself and continue to push progress on my own with at-home exercises and stretches personalized for my recovery (she has adapted and combined exercises to meet my needs on multiple occasions). Naomi is personable, friendly, and funny, making even the more difficult sessions enjoyable experiences. I couldn't recommend Naomi more highly.

Everyone at Outback has become almost like a second family to me. When I originally came in, I had been feeling very discouraged by my injuries and Dr. Naomi Goodman put me on the path to healing and helped me find ways to be active along the way (without aggravating my injuries). The results were incredible. I am now back as a patient again with a separate injury and was genuinely excited that the new injury meant I could start going to PT again (weird, I know, but the place is that good).
Outback is a small business run by kind and caring people. They accept all forms of insurance (including Medicaid, MassHealth, etc.) Dr. Goodman is aware of the multitude of inequities in society and in particular in health care. She is committed to providing culturally appropriate, inclusive care. As a woman, I have had many health care professionals doubt my pain. She never has.
Cindy (Patient Care Manager) and Amanda (Patient Care Specialist) are fun, welcoming, and very responsive to scheduling and other patient needs.
The office is incredibly clean and feels very safe during COVID. (Telehealth care also available.) They have all of the equipment I could hope for: elliptical, stationary bike, treadmill, arm machines, dumbbells, the list goes on.
