Physical Therapy in Needham

“After 4 years of trying to solve plantar fascitis on my own, i stumbled upon Physix and decided to make the investment to work one on one with a specialist. I tried different podiatrists to try and solve it over the years, but all they want to do is sell you their insoles and give you a cortizone shot.

After 4-5 months of treatment with the team at Physix my plantar fascitis is 100% gone, and I feel my feet and leg strength are solid.

I worked with Dr. Brandon Drinan. At first we did weekly sessions, then shifted to bi-weekly sessions. The process focused on foundational strength, where each week there was an assessment of my progress and study of how my foot mechanics were evolving. The eye opener for me was that my feet were not functioning the same, especially how my heel would rotate, or not rotate with movements.
My workouts evolved weekly to add more complexity and exercises that would increase the challenge to my functional strength. I often had different exercises for each foot to get to a balanced mechanical movement......and they were all outlined on the app they set you up with so you can follow it on your phone, along with videos.

I have been a runner for years. I finished my last session with Brandon this week and am now going out for 7-8 mile runs on the weekend, with shorter runs during the week.

You get out of this what you put into it. I was dedicated to doing the workouts each day, intent on seeing progress. It paid off. And now I have a tool kit of exercises to use to keep myself strong.

I highly recommend the team at Physix, and especially recommend Brandon. He is a professional and was always available for immediate feedback during the week through the app.

If you have been suffering from plantar fascitis for a long time, go in and get your consultation with Physix. you will be happy you did it.“

“My kids and I have been going here for several months (multiple days per week). My 1:1 training sessions have been excellent. Working with Adam has really motivated me to get back into shape for all the sports I like to play (primarily tennis). My kids are teens and Pure Performance has amazing programs for young athletes who want to do off field/court training with trainers who have experience working with this cohort. No matter what time of day I’m at the gym (I’m writing this in July), there are high school and college athletes working hard with their friends— it’s a great vibe. Highly recommended!“

“Very helpful, attentive, and I feel well taken care-of. I moved from a different PT to Needham PT and feel it's far superior.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this OrthoSportsMED Physical Therapy! The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. My physical therapist took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me make real progress in my recovery. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality care and a dedicated team. Thank you for making my healing journey so positive!“

“I wish I could give more stars! I have had the honor of working with Eric Wu for a number of years and I can confidently say that he is outstanding! In addition to being someone who would always give up on my self-care and get discouraged, I've also been living with a rare autoimmune disease called Systemic Sclerosis. No other trainer has worked with me at the level of Eric's expertise. He is smart, well educated, and flexible in his thinking about how to work with me on my fitness journey. I'm now approaching my 60th birthday and can say that I am stronger, more flexible, and able bodied than when I was 30 years old. No joke, Eric is a gem that has literally helped me stay upright and strong. I highly recommend that you check out his services.“

“Kara is the best of the best. Always on time and has an amazing attention to every detail. I’m pleased with my progress and always feel like Kara is pushing me to realistic limits in the recovery process.“

“Dr. Otto is the best. Been going to him 10+ years. Initially pulled my back wakeboarding in April or early May when the water was cold. All better now with help from Dr. Otto (keeping me in line) and a regular routine with my trainer (yes, muscles help too).“
