Katherine was amazing! I partially ruptured my Achilles and she was able to remove the built up scar tissue while strengthening the surrounding area! She gave me my quality of life back!

Unfortunately, I've become addicted to going there. I always feel better when I finish my session.

Marathon Physical Therapy in Dedham is PHENOMENAL!!!! The doctors of physical therapy and the exercise specialists with whom I have worked are EXTREMELY knowledgeable at remediating pain, strengthening muscles, watching and evaluating you while you are working on various machines, massaging muscles that are in need of help, listening to all questions and concerns, and explaining the process of what plans they have in place and the purpose of each. The minute you walk into Marathon, everyone is very welcoming and friendly and each and everyone there always are encouraging and absolutely make your day better! You have to see it to believe how wonderful Marathon Physical Therapy is in Dedham, Mass so give it a try!!

It is without hesitation that I share with you my experience at Marathon Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, in Dedham, MA.
On August 7, I was diagnosed with acute sciatica. If I tell you that the pain was excruciating , it’s an understatement! I am allergic to aspirin ,and therefore any type of pain reliever, such as on Motrin , Aleve or Advil , are not available to me. I went to urgent care and was given a 6 day course of prednisone. I completed the prednisone with no relief. I got an additional 6 day course of prednisone, along with a muscle relaxer and it did not touch the pain. The pain was debilitating and severely impacted my daily life. I contacted my doctor and requested a prescription for physical therapy. As you know, we have many options for that service. I opted to go with Marathon Physical Therapy and Sports Performance because they had the first available opening. They understood my need for help immediately! Other facilities that I contacted had a wait time of several weeks. I don’t think they understood how agonizing the sciatica pain was for me.. I met with Sean Kineavy, PT Therapist/ Manager , and he evaluated my situation. He developed a comprehensive plan to correct my sciatica issue. I started the treatment plan in September and within a couple of sessions. I felt exponentially better. Fast forward to today, November 13th, and I can say that I am absolutely pain-free! While I still have some muscle strength to work on, the agony is over!
Every single person in the Marathon Physical Therapy and Sports Performance Center, in Dedham, is fabulous! They are friendly , competent and really make you feel like you are the only patient they have! Mary, at the front desk is kind and responsive to every need! Aaron, a PT assistant explains and demonstrates every task before you do it! And Sean -I can’t imagine anyone better! He’s patient , personable and always reassuring! This is so important to anyone dealing with a first time injury. I needed that reassurance that it would get better, and it did!
I am so happy that my journey to good physical health led me to them! I give them my absolute highest recommendation! Thank you so much for all you have done for me and for truly giving me my life back! With gratitude-Pat Withrow-Dedham

First time going to PT and Marathon PT made it a breeze. Kat taught me a lot about my injury and explained how the exercises were helping to repair and make my ankle stronger. In addition, Mary made scheduling super easy. I can’t recommend the team at Marathon PT enough!

Katherine and all of the staff at Marathon were great. They helped me recover from a muscle strain. They were friendly, encouraging, and scheduling was a breeze. The exercises she recommended were challenging but spot on to help aid in the recovery.

The team at Marathon Physical therapy in Dedham is amazing. Sean was my PT (sorry Sean, I am a procrastinator to the point of forgetfulness and this review should have been submitted months ago) and a long with being very skilled and knowledgeable he is also a tremendous listener and always had an open ear to how I was feeling that particular day and would cater our sessions to accommodate that. My main issue was arthritis of the hip, wanting to hold off surgery as long as possible I turned to the team at Marathon in Dedham. Sean worked around my range of motion issues due to the arthritis and created a plan to focus on strengthening my hips and lower body while also working on stretches to loosen up my lower body and increase range of motion wherever I could. I am a runner and knew I had to reduce my running output given my diagnosis. Sean being a runner as well knew how important running can be to a runner and with my treatment also helped me figure out how much I should be running and how to listen to my body for when I needed to pull back. I enjoyed my conversations (about running and life in general) as much as I enjoyed the treatment I was getting.
The best thing I can say about Sean and the Team at Marathon is that they create an extremely welcoming environment. I always enjoyed going to my sessions. The entire staff from Mary at the front desk to all the PT's and assistants are very friendly and always greet you with a hello and a smile. Being my first time I was intimidated to start my physical therapy. After my first evaluating with Sean I knew I chose the right place. With my arthritis my main goal was to maintain where I was at, secondary goal was to increase some range of motion and feel a little a stronger. Sean and the team helped me accomplish both. After about 6 months of sessions Sean and I talked and he agreed that I was able to take what I have learned home with me and keep up on my stretching and strength exercises and to come back in 6-12 months for another evaluation to see how I'm doing. A few assistants I worked with a lot were Franklin and Zach, I just want to highlight their work as well, they are as skilled as they are charismatic, a pleasure to work with.
Thanks again for all your help! I can't recommend this crew enough.
