Sports Medicine near Needham

“It gives me great pleasure to post this review. Needham Physical Therapy (NPT) has been a great resource for me for more than a year. They are an excellent place for physical therapy providing the needed exercises in a very friendly environment. You become the center of attention as soon as you walk in. You are welcomed by name by Elaine, always with a smile, and someone comes over right away with a heat pad or icy wrap depending on what you need.
I started using NPT in March 2023 to treat pain from a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. Ryan Hicks started working with me as the physical therapist. He has done an amazing job of helping me to recover. My choice last year was to go for shoulder surgery or try to treat my pain through exercises to strengthen my shoulder. Ryan was of major help in my decision to avoid surgery. I am now able to do most daily tasks with my right shoulder without having gone for surgery. Although I still have some pain in my shoulder from time to time, I am convinced that, in my case, avoiding surgery was the right thing.
After recovery from shoulder pain, I went to NPT to treat pain in my knees. Again I started working with Ryan Hicks. He was of great help, before and after the left knee replacement surgery. While I still have some pain in my knees, I am now able to do outdoor walks of about two miles.
In addition to Ryan Hicks, I received physical therapy from Andrea Kelly and many therapy assistants including Ian and Emma. They have a wonderful team and a very friendly and uplifting environment. Michael Kane, the owner of NPT, has done an amazing job of building a great team. He finds the right people and given them an environment to grow and be responsive to what the patients need. There was always someone around to help whenever I needed something.
I highly recommend NPT. I will certainly go back to NPT whenever I need some physical therapy.“

“Great person, great Doctor. really listens to the patient, and explain explains the why and how…“

“My PT, Kerry, was fantastic. She was always very thorough and professional. She is quite an expert at what she does. Kerry always made me feel heard and cared about my progress. She helped me to feel a lot better and get back to a more physically comfortable life. The front desk staff and assistant PTs were always accommodating and friendly. It is the most well run and professional PT company that I have dealt with and I have been to quite a few. This place is top notch. It is so nice to see Trainer Bob there too. He has had such a positive impact on the town of Norwood’s youth through the years. Thanks Marathon PT for great experience!“

“I got a knee injury, so I got an appointments for the physical therapy with Jake to boost my recovery. During two month of therapy, they made it possible to return me back to running, considering that I was limping before the therapy. Thank you BU therapy and Jake, the recovery results are outstanding!“

“George got me back to ultramarathon training! He helped me with a stubborn hamstring issue that wasn't responding to other treatments like PT or massage. I was feeling lost with this nagging pain for months, and after a few visits I felt like me again. Now I'm training for my third 100 mile race.

Also, last year I went to George to help heal my ankle after I tore a ligament. He helped me get my mobility back and he was honest with me when I needed a break from treatments to let things settle down (because I was also dealing with an inflammatory illness at the time). I've learned a lot from him and I have complete faith in his practice. I'm so lucky to have East/West Sports Acupuncture in my corner so I can stay strong and run all the miles!“

“As other reviewers have said - 10/10. Dr Rob is the best as is the practice as a whole. I am an older person who cares about my sports and my fitness and I am grateful that Dr Rob regularly figures out how to keep me active and performing at a high level. He is very knowledgeable and experienced.“

“What a professional and experienced massage therapist. My spouse and my brother also see Abdel as his experience with sports medicine has helped tremendously for my lower back. For me trust is important and he has proven time and time again that he is an incredible therapist and an even better human.“

“Matt is the best. He's always compassionate and tuned in. (I said this two years ago, and I'm saying it again!)“

“I recently visited Dr. Ezrin for a bad neck. He did a great job with his adjustment. I have been to many different chiropractors and Dr. Ezrin was one of the best.“

“Dr. Alexa Shea relieved my neck pain from a small injury. I was in so much pain, and she was the only thing that I found relief from. Medications and massage were not helping much at all. Her experience and knowledge are unmatched and she shows true care for her patients. I highly recommend her for any of your chiropractic needs.“

“I went in here hearing amazing things about Michael and wow was I blown away. He knows SO MUCH and validated all my pains and is motivated to get to the bottom of what was ailing me. Attentive, curious, and knowledgeable. Lived up to the expectation and then some. I went in with random issues from years of being an athlete and he found the root cause of my issues during his screening and made a plan to help me get better. Stop reading this and book your appointment. You will leave feeling better physically and mentally!!!“

“These guys are actually knowledgable. I'm grateful I finally found a competent physical therapist that I can trust. Sean went over my whole history, discussed everything with me, answered all my questions, and most importantly created a custom plan for my case. Sarah at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. I takes me 45 minutes to get here but it is totally worth it!“

“I had chronic lower back pain for years. It got worse over the last 6 months, so I stared PT after getting an MRI confirming my pain. The PT did not help me, almost made my pain worse. Unsure of what to do, I called Lisa. Within two sessions my pain got so much better. Every time I go my back feels better and better. She is intuitive, listens, and genuinely wants to help make you feel better. She is a healer at heart. I cannot recommend Lisa enough! Acupuncture has changed my life, and I am so grateful for Lisa.“

“Dr.Mui and Dr.Kelly are the best chiropractor i have been too and they have lots of training and a high level of education. They both volunteer at sports related events as medical personnel such as the Boston marathon. They are both also wonderful people. Ashley, who works the front desk is also wonderful and always super helpful! Overall, I recommend trying both Dr.Mui or Dr.Kelly as you may find you have a personal preference, though they are both equally wonderful.“

“I had been dealing with lower back pain pain for 6+ weeks. Sleeping was hard, putting on socks impossible, forget my hobbies, Dr TJ Hagen in just 2 treatments turned me around to being functional and after 3 treatments I was literally back to normal. Having never been to a chiropractor I was expecting back cracking/adjustments but in reality it was mainly deep tissue work while simultaneously doing physical therapy movements

Truly amazing the results I achieved

Thank you Dr Hagan ?“

“Paul Weitzel, great human being. He changed my whole outlook on doctor/ patient INTERACTIONS. I'd recommend him to anyone I truly love. Beautiful new location at 71 border Rd. Waltham.“

“I've had several positive experiences here at the Sports medicine center. Dr Cardoos has helped me so much with my herniated discs and spine. He was very patient and would respond to all of my questions in a timely manner. Also extremely nonjudgmental and I felt very seen by him. Speaking to the receptionists at the front desk was also great. No issues.“
