Physical therapy can help you regain essential abilities like balance, coordination and muscle strength after an illness, injury or surgery.
Helping you feel like yourself, one step at a time
When you're on the road to recovery, pain and limited mobility can make it difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But with physical therapy, we can help you rediscover a comfortable, more independent quality of life.
We offer a full spectrum of adult, adolescent and pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitation services. Our team includes some of the brightest minds in medicine, with years of experience rehabilitating people living with neurological diseases, back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, stroke and more.

Targeted therapies
Expert care for lymphedema
We host one of Boston’s only physical therapy clinics for treatment of lymphedema, which is a condition that causes chronic swelling in the arms, legs or other body parts. We have a certified lymphedema therapist on staff who can offer symptom relief using a treatment known as complete decongestive therapy.
Hand therapy
Rehabilitation following elbow or hand surgery is an important stop along your road to recovery. Hand therapy improves your strength and overall function. Our specialists will teach you how to properly perform different exercises and strategies like:
- Functional skills retraining
- Hand splinting
- Scar management
- Sensory retraining
- Strengthening and range of motion exercise programs
Pelvic floor physical therapy
Your "pelvic floor” is a group of organs known as your core — small and large intestine, stomach, liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Pelvic floor muscles also keep your organs in place while supporting bodily functions like going to the bathroom and having sex.
You may benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy if you’ve noticed weakened or sore pelvic floor muscles.
