“Really great experience getting my PT post knee replacement. Savannah and Brenda did a wonderful job getting me up and functioning again. Everyone is friendly, motivating and caring. Donna and the front desk are tops. Couldn’t recommend more“

“BSM was recommended for PT after my knee meniscus repair. I told them I wanted to be ready to train asap for my climb in the Cascades later in the summer. Emily and Kyra were on board right away. Their commitment and professional dedication to my recovery was awesome. They pushed me to push myself with all of their focus, humor and kindness. The entire BSM staff are wonderful and would recommend them for any of your PT needs.“

“If you want to engage in therapy, this is the best place. The staff is upbeat, informative, and has a genuine interest in your wellbeing.“

“Dani is the best! Not only was it clear that she cared about me and my physically progression, she also made the sessions fun.“

“After having to undergo reconstructive ACL and Postural Lateral Corner (PLC) surgery. JumpStart has guided me through my journey with excellent support of my rehabilitation needs and any concerns I had where I could just text them and they would give me a great response back. Ryan has been the main person I have worked with but all physical therapists are extremely knowledgeable and all have my trust to work with. Always a pleasure working with JumpStart.“

“As a coach and trainer with over 25 years of experience, I’m always looking to expand my knowledge—especially when it comes to intentional, optimal movement that I can pass on to my clients. The workshop with the PhyziX team was invaluable.

We all walked away with a deeper understanding of how the body compensates, why certain movement patterns develop, and—most importantly—how to correct them. The PhyziX team guided us through it all with incredible clarity, hands-on technique correction, and thoughtful answers to every question.

This experience wasn’t just educational—it was empowering. Education + application are key pillars of living FIERCELy, and PhyziX delivered both. I’m truly a better coach (and weight lifter!) because of it.

Whether you’re a trainer, coach, or team looking to elevate your movement knowledge and pain-relief strategies, I highly recommend connecting with PhyziX. It’s always worth it. ?

“The team is fantastic! I would give them 6 stars if I could. Both compassionate and kind, yet strict enough to make sure you do your exercises. Just what one needs from physical therapy! I felt like Caty always found time to listen to my concerns and always treated me with kindness. There were plenty of laughs and while I am glad I don’t need PT anymore I miss seeing my friends at PPT in Newton. 10 months post ACL/MCL reconstruction and back to all my favorite sports. I could not be happier.“

“I started for pre/post hip surgery and 2 yrs later I’m still a regular. The trainers all make u feel welcome and the workouts are customized to me.“

“Alex has been extremely helpful in my recovery after I tore my ACL. He kindly took the time to get my knee ready for surgery and because of him I was able to have the surgery! After my surgery, he committed himself to getting me back on track and now I have excellent mobility only a few weeks after my surgery! The whole team at Bay State is wonderful! Ben is an expert at making sure we have everything for my insurance and he always fits me in to the schedule. Jocelyn is an excellent clinical manager and always checks in on me. I couldn't think of a better place to help me reach my PT goals!“

“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!“

“Zoe is the absolute best! I have never left a Google Review for something in my life but I felt that this needed to be shared. I started training for the Boston Marathon as a non-runner and was met with many aches and pains. Zoe took me in and helped me every step of the way. She is incredibly thoughtful, attentive, knowledge, and a true professional in the space. I would recommend absolutely anyone to Zoe! You’d be lucky to have her.“

“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!“

“I have been to a handful of sessions and have noticed a significant improvement in my left -side weakness. I’ve learned home-based exercises and do them regularly Jamie has been an awesome therapist and I thank him for the progress. Thank You!!“

“I have started working with Pete. He is the BEST Trainer I have had by far. I am working muscle groups that I have never had before. He is a very positive person and wants his clients to succeed. Best gym ever as well!“

“Nicole at Joint Ventures is truly exceptional! After working with three other physical therapy providers, I immediately noticed how different her approach and expertise are - Nicole stands out by far. From our very first session, she understood my complex situation and provided precise, effective exercises that brought real relief right away. Beyond her clinical skill, Nicole creates a calm, supportive atmosphere that makes each appointment something I genuinely look forward to. I’m incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and progress I’ve experienced with her.“

“Over last 30 years of 14 joint surgeries I have had over a dozen PTs and alas am something of a connoisseur. The three I have worked with at JV Wayland Mass. are all expert and clinically savvy but the latest, Brian Davis, is at the very top: practical, imaginative, resourceful, realistic, just full of ideas and even minor change suggestions. Really smart and clinically informed and grounded.“

“I’ve found Padme PT to be a wonderful place for treatment! Lucia is a thoughtful and skilled physical therapist.“

“The front staff and therapists are friendly, efficient, responsive, and knowledgeable. My therapy is always tailored to my needs and limitations while incorporating progress and always encouraging me. A great place!“

“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.“

“I can't recommend Dr. Glidden enough. I have a back injury, and had no form of pain relief until I started seeing her. She does various treatments that not only relieve my pain, but are also correcting my spine. In the short amount of time I've been seeing her, I've been able to walk better, and have noticed less pain throughout my day. She's also helped me understand my injury more, and I just feel like it's a blessing that I ended up going here. If you are in pain you should come here. You will thank yourself later!“

“Bethia Nivens has been my PT since August when I came in with a partial teat in my rotator cuff. Over time, she has given me good instruction on what to do at home with instruction sheets and visuals using an app. The exercises have been varied while I am in office and explanations for each exercise were given. Once, I was ready for further work on improving my reach, she helped my arm move better into position and strength. She does give confidence and assurance that the strength training will work and over time so that I can do it at home. My plan is to continue so that I will not need surgery and will become stronger because of her excellent guidance. Thank you so much Bethia!“

“I cannot imagine any private training club….could be better than PEX. They really care about their customers as well as their trainers . They change routines every time and every time we finish we always say that we can’t believe how great a workout we just had.“

“Jeremy and his team are awesome wouldn't go anywhere else! Very organized appointment starts on time ends on time.Well oiled machine.“

“I have had chronic lower backpain for 4 years and I came to Olga after 3 mildly successful attempts at physical therapy. I do not have a herniated disk or major back injury, however, my backpain has been extremely debilitating these last few years. Anyone with chronic pain can empathize the psychological torture that it can exert on a person. I have heard from others that if performed cautiously, Pilates can be a gentle and sustainable method to improve chronic back pain and was hoping to dip my toes into this form of exercise. Starting off with a more physical therapy mindset and hopefully moving on to group classes to continue my recovery.

When I came to Olga, my back hurt 24 hours a day to varying degrees but maybe a 7 on the pain scale. It was hard to tie my shoes. I elected for the 6 session PT package and went once a week for 6 weeks. This was my best experience with PT. It is a one-on-one session with Olga who really took the time to monitor my progress and performed constant analysis of muscle activation, posture and range of motion.

The sessions with Olga exclusively one-on-one with her and were often posture muscle activation and healthy movement based. It included some exercises that you can do at home with only a floor and a wall, but a lot was done on the pilates reformer, spring bands and chair. This met my goal of using this as a gentle introduction to pilates to see if this form of exercise was right for me. We also finished each session with either laser therapy or shockwave therapy at no additional charge.

At previous PTs, you speak with the PT on the first day and they make a regiment for you and largely pass you off to PTs-in-training who walk you through the exercises in the following sessions. It can feel very rushed and impersonal. Almost like they could have just sent you an email for your exercises for the week and then charge you a great sum of money.

This was a very personalized and patient focused experience without it being a crowded room of patients being juggled between employees in a profit focused larger PT company. It was more expensive than my previous PT experiences but I feel was a much greater value. After 4 years of back pain I was happy to pay a little more for an improved chance at recovery.

I can happily say that my backpain has made great progress in only 6 weeks. I feel some improved strength and changes in how my core, glutes and hips activate in my daily life. Most days I get significant chunks of the day where I am completely pain free. I will give myself credit that I was very good at completing the "homework" that Olga gave me each week. Just showing up to the classes with Olga is only a small part of the recovery process, you have to take the exercises you learn home and perform them on your own but most importantly, take the healthy movement patterns and muscle activation that these exercises teach you to your day-to-day life.

I still have backpain. If I sit down too long it hurts. If I do a lot of lifting/bending it hurts. Even after I do my PT exercises it sometimes hurts. It took a long time to get sick and it will take a long time to get better. I am still extremely happy with the progress that I have made in these 6 weeks.

After discussion with Olga, we both think I am ready to try the classes at Holistic PT and Pilates with Evellin. I feel doing it at Holistic PT and Pilates is a wise decision as Evellin understands that many of her clients come from a PT focused perspective and may not be ready for high intensity Pilates workout.

I'm excited to start these classes with Evellin and and optimistic and hopeful that my backpain is finally on the path to a full recovery.

“I've been seeing Dr. Gilson for over a year now. I can't praise Dr. Gilson & Rene enough credit!!! He is very down to earth which makes the adjustments easy & fun. I have chronic migraines where some would last 2 weeks. I haven't had a bad flare up since I started going here. Not only has he provided relief from the bad flare ups, but he has helped me with my disability. I've regained my life back & have been able to be active again!“

“I was able to go from painful, sleepless nights to complete recovery from lower back pain in 3 weeks. The sessions with Ithmar and the follow up Exercises were spot on. Highly recommended if you need PT.“
