The team at Professional Physical Therapy are very knowledgeable and friendly. They keep a close eye on everyone and make sure that you are comfortable, understand what you need to do, and safe. The homework they give has been beneficial and has helped me progress in a positive direction. I would... not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy.read more

Working with Allison at Professional Physical Therapy in Andover was a godsend. When I first started, I could barely move my shoulder. By the time I left, I had all the tools needed to resume my normal activities. A wonderful place with incredible professionals. Couldn’t be happier with the results.
Maureen J.
My 16-year-old asked me to post this 5-star review:I recently received treatment here while recovering from ankle surgery. The staff were incredibly friendly and encouraging, so I always felt supported. The space was very clean and well organized. Most importantly, the exercises were effective... and I saw vast improvements over time. I am so grateful for the significant contributions this treatment made towards my recovery!read more

I've known Allison Stringer for a long time and she has helped me with many injuries over the years, all figure skating injuries. She is amazing! I completely trust her and she's the only person I would ever go to for PT. Her knowledge, expertise, and skill are remarkable and she truly cares about... her patients.If you are a figure skater, she is the best person for PT and to get you back on the ice quickly! Allison is not only a Physical Therapist, but she is a figure skating coach with US Figure Skating. She understands all things figure skating and can help you stay healthy and keep skating. I highly recommend Allison Stringer and am confident if you work with her, you'll see results and will soon be recommending her to your friends and family, too, even if they aren't figure skaters.Thanks, Allison for all you do to keep your patients healthy!read more
Sarah O.
My 12 year old daughter is getting pt for a sports injury, and she is having the best experience. The facility is so welcoming, clean, and professional. Allison is so good with her, making her feel strong, confident, and positive. My daughter loves working with Allison and looks forward to her pt... sessions each week. She is receiving outstanding care during her sessions, as well as exercises and supports to do at home between sessions. We are so grateful to Professional Physical Therapy and Allison for helping get our daughter not only on her road to recovery, but for making it such a positive experience. I would highly recommend to anyone with children recovering from injury. It has made all the difference!read more
DAISY V.
Everyone at Professional Physical Therapy in Andover are friendly and helpful. Rachel always asks how you're feeling and is very attentive while in therapy. She always asks how you're doing while in motion and will make adjustments if needed. I look forward to my weekly appointments. Everyone that... works here is extremely helpful and professional. The facility is always clean and very organized. The virtual check in station is very useful too. I would definitely recommend someone I know to this facility if there is a need. Thank you for helping me feel better and safe.read more
Denise B.
Evan and Alison live up to the name professional but they are also in tune to your pain. They are knowledgeable and use different modalities. Very clean, bright set up. They make PT bearable:))
James H.
Yasmeen Guerrier was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout my entire pre-surgery and post-surgery therapy for my ACL and meniscus tear. She did a great job pushing me to achieve better flexibility and strength, while also balancing my comfort and confidence in recovery. I would highly... recommend Yasmeen and the whole team at Professional PT.read more
Hoon K.
Yasmeen was amazing! Tore my pec major tendon off the bone and came here for PT after having surgery. Thanks to her I got my strength back much quicker than I ever thought I would. Patient, knowledgeable and truly cares for her patients. If I ever get injured again I will certainly be back. Highly... recommended!read more
Olivia H.
I worked with Yasmeen for post-op care following knee surgery from a snowboarding accident for 2 months. Not only is she the best physical therapist I have ever worked with (I also saw several in NYC during my recovery), but she is also the most caring, personable, and dedicated provider I have... ever gotten the privilege of knowing. It is truly bittersweet getting discharged from care, I would look forward to all of my PT sessions with Yasmeen during my recovery journey. The provider genuinely matters during the recovery process, and Yasmeen's positive energy and knowledgeable background would brighten my day after each visit, especially after seeing how much progress I was making after each session. This is especially important, since a traumatic injury can mentally bring many to very low places, but Yasmeen is always optimistic, friendly, and welcoming which helped me stay positive too.I met Yasmeen when my leg was stiff at 0° and non-weightbearing, and after 2 months I am at 130+° ROM and feel no pain when walking now. The recovery was perfect, Yasmeen was very cognizant about building strength and ROM at a fast and challenging, yet responsible pace to prevent reinjury while maximizing progress. I feel very grateful to have been under Yasmeen's care, my surgeon and the rest of my care team were all very impressed by the speed and quality of my recovery, thanks to Yasmeen. Any patient would be lucky to work with Yasmeen, her expertise is truly a gem and I wish I could continue seeing her as I resume my recovery in New York.read more
Shaun M.
I picked Professional Physical Therapy of Andover because of its excellent reputation and was not disappointed. I was having pain in my left hip that I would later have replaced. Rachel my therapist put together an excellent exercise plan for me that concentrated on strengthening the muscles around... the hip. She listened to me about how I was feeling every visit and would design exercises around what my needs were. She made me feel comfortable and kept me moving. I highly recommend Rachel for her knowledge and experience she’s special the rest of the staff was great the atmosphere was very relaxed and I enjoyed being there. I am very happy to have done by physical therapy there and would return in a heartbeat.read more
Jack T.
Highly recommend, I had a wonderful experience here! Yasmeen gave excellent service and provided thorough explanations on how each exercise will improve my recovery on my injured knee. Throughout my time there, Yasmeen—as well as everyone else—were very friendly and patient and made me feel... welcomed each time i entered the room. 5/5. 10/10. 100/100. Max Points all around.read more
Dan C.
Highly recommend going here! I had Yasmeen as my PT and she was amazing, but the whole staff was super friendly and helpful so I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Was in for a hip injury and Yasmeen got me back into running shape ahead of schedule. Super knowledgeable and always... providing me with new tips and exercises. Will 100% be back if I have any other injuries in the futureread more
Denise C.
I’ve just completed my 3rd visit to Professional Physical Therapy since my total knee replacement on 2/19/25 & I couldn’t be happier with how my treatments are going. This is my 1st experience with physical therapy so I didn’t really have a frame of reference. Everyone at the facility is... professional & friendly making the whole experience very comfortable. They treat you with kindness & guide you on what you’re doing right & what you need to work on. Everything is explained fully & in easy to understand terms. You can ask all the questions & they’re there to answer them. I still have a ways to go with my treatment but I’m very confident that they’ll get me to where I need to be. I need to make a point of mentioning Allison Springer. Allison is kind & patient and with her help I know I’ll get to where I need to be. Thank you Allison and staff.read more
Analucia S.
Allison and her team are simply outstanding. From day 1, I was impressed by her detailed examination of my needs. And in all the meetings that followed Allison was always attentive, caring, and effective in choice of activities that are clearly reducing my pains. I enthusiastically recommend her... PPT work.read more
Alison H.
Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable! Very personal and accepting environment. Rachel is amazing and truly listens. I wish I had come in sooner instead of being in pain.
Marina E.
The therapy sessions were exceptional! Alison is highly experienced, professional, and kind. She has taken the time to listen to every concern and has planned a rigorous program to expedite my recovery. Upon completion of my treatment, she provided a list of targeted exercises to continue my... recovery. Her staff is welcoming and polite. The office space is spotlessly clean and has convenient access to the parking lot. I highly recommend Professional PT.read more
Angie V.
Allison is the best therapist I’ve seen around. She is very kind, patient and professional. She’s helping me recover from my upper back pain and I’ve seen improvement with only 3 visits. My favorite part are the massages. Will definitely recommend it.
Belkis H.
Allison was absolutely awesome!! She helped me to get on a good place after my hip replacement surgery. She is Knowledgeable, Patient, Kind and gentle makes you accountable 😊. I strongly recommend her if you’re in need of PT.Thank you!!! Allison
Edward F.
Allison is a great PT. She has helped me with knee,spine,neck, and shoulder. I strongly recommend going to her if you need PT and are in pain!
Karen R.
Had the distinct pleasure of working with Allison, who is phenomenal. Deeply knowledgeable, kind, patient, funny, and willing to push you just the right amount to make progress without pain. She is generous with her considerable expertise and gives you the tools to maintain and build on your... progress wherever you go.read more
Joshua B.
I came in having what I thought were reasonable expectations. It had been over a year since I had been able to run with any consistency and without pain due to tendonitis in my ankle. My goal was to be able to run 10 miles a week without pain or further damage.Sure, sure, the facility is clean,... well organized, well equipped and, for those of you who like to hear about the parking in a review, the parking lot is AMAZING (so many spots!), but it's the people who make this place truly special. I can honestly say it is the most positive experience I have had in a medical setting. I worked directly with, first, Allison and then Kate.Right from the first day Allison took a holistic approach, recognizing that the ankle, although an expression of the problem, was not the whole problem unto itself. We were immediately able to define goals and metrics for the treatment which helped me take ownership of the entire process (probably one of the most important aspects in achieving wellness in any area).Kate also took a holistic, but very distinct, approach. Every time I went in she had something new, interesting and challenging for me to work on. Most of what she gave me I was able to translate into part of my at-home routine.Almost immediately, I realized that Kate, with her inexhaustible enthusiasm, would be able to get me to accomplish more than I had initially thought possible. I was able to double my goal.During the course of the treatment she worked her way from the problem ankle pretty much up to my head, expertly identifying and addressing contributing issues along the way. She was able to assess my running style (haphazard by my own estimation) and give me pointers on how to improve it. Overall, she is highly knowledgable, efficient, fully engaged, and a lot of fun to work with.Generally, as a burgeoning curmudgeon, I am able to find at least some fault with almost anything. Frankly, I'm at loss here. Overall a great place, wonderful people and a thoroughly beneficial/enjoyable experience. I left here having learned a lot, and in a much better place than I expected to be in.read more
Marlene G.
Kate at Professional PT has helped me with neck pain and more recently with hip pain. These PTs are all very knowledgeable about the body and how to work back to a pain free life. They ask all sorts of questions to get to the sources of pain, from how you work, sleep and drive. I am so impressed... with how a few tips, a good exercise program and continued work at home can really improve symptoms. If you are struggling with pain, talk to your doctor and starting PT and call Professional PT on River Rd! Ask for Kate or Anne!read more
Michael C.
What a great experience, I spent about 5 months recovering from my ACL surgery here. Allison, Rachel, and the whole team were kind, knowledgeable, motivational, and just fun to be around. They genuinely are invested in your personal recovery process and you can feel it. I would absolutely recommend... this facility and this team. Thank you all for the help along the way!read more
Catherine C.
Alison and her team are phenomenal! I’ve had PT in the past after a car accident and never felt it benefited me much. I’ve had a complex tear in the lateral meniscus for over 8mo that my surgeon wanted to operate on. I was told to try and do PT, specifically at this clinic. It’s been about 5 weeks... and I finally feel like this could actually heal without surgery. I’m so grateful to have them help me through my recovery.read more
Brittany W.
Allison and her team are the best! I have known Allison for over 20 years and wouldn't trust anyone else for my own PT needs and PT needs of the athletes I coach. Highly recommend!
kim B.
I have Allison Stringer as my Physical therapist.. she is amazing I am a hockey player I’ve been struggling with patella instability and Allison allowed me to avoid surgery by helping me improve the muscles around the knee to help keep in place. I am so grateful to her!! I didn’t miss a season and... was able to get back to playing! When my knee acts up I go see Allison and she helps me get back on track! Highly recommend!! My orthopedic surgeon was so impressed with the results!read more
soledad G.
Allison is, by far, the best PT I've met. For a year or so, I suffered with many aches and injuries with no solution insight until I found Allison. She truly listened to me and has been treating me with professionalism and compassion. She is very knowledgeable and has taken her time to guide in the... path of recovery. She has given me renewed hope that I can heal and return to normal activity. I could not be more grateful for Allison and her crew.read more
John M.
I have had experience with several physical therapy facilities and physical therapists. Allison Springer is by far the best of all that I have experienced. She tailors her sessions not only to the patient but to the situation at the time. She is consistent and listens well to the patient both... indescription of the problem and execution of the exercise. There is no rote method; rather she adopts the program to the patient's needs. She explains why and how each part of the program is beneficial to each patient. She creates a pleasant atmosphere in a nice setting. And the results are terrific. All in all I rate her above all of the physical therapist I have experienced and would seek her out if I have any problems.read more
Jean C.
Allison and her crew are excellent at their job! Took me from daily pain to feeling human again in a short time. Always professional, attentive and knowledgeable. A real pleasure to work with in a time of need. Highly recommend for all your aches and pains! Don't hesitate, call today!Thank... you Allison! You are the best!read more

Sarah C.
“You don’t know what you don’t know”. I never thought regular custom exercises would actually alleviate my lower back pain. I look forward to coming here. Allison has great energy and I most certainly feel better when I leave, than I do when I arrive. Thank you Allison!
Raincoat A.
I signed up for physical therapy to address severe back pain. Ali was absolutely wonderful and succeeded in reducing my pain to a point where I no longer had to consider spinal injections or surgery. I would highly recommend this company and specifically Allison as a top-notch physical therapist... with many years of experience.read more
Jody L.
Allison, Mitch and team are the best. I highly recommended them. I had 2 disc fused on 11/22 and I am back to working out and playing tennis. I could not have done this without their help. Thank you so much. I'll miss seeing you all.
Mia R.
Allison and Mitch were extremely helpful in getting my shoulder back to normal. They were very patient and knowledgeable about my problem and never hesitated to help me understand how the different exercises were working different areas and parts of my shoulder. They were very friendly which helped... to make the atmosphere comfortable for everyone there. The location is very convenient and the clinic was very clean. I appreciate all their work and would recommend them to anyone who needs any type of physical therapy. Thank you!read more

Eliana F.
Allison has been amazing to work with, she’s incredibly patient and knowledgeable. Living with chronic pain for various years I didn’t think there was much that could alleviate my day to day pain. Since starting PT with Allison & continuing to implement what I’ve learned, outside the office, I’ve... been able to get back to doing some activities I haven’t been able to do in years.read more
Jarrod F.
My first time doing physical therapy, I wasn’t looking forward to it at all. Allison was great! Her calm, easy going demeanor made it very comfortable. It’s clear that she’s been doing this for a long time and knows her stuff. After about 5 visits she was able to get my ankle working and get me... back to work! Next time I break or hurt something I’m coming back to Andover.Thank you!read more
James H.
Allison is knowledgeable, caring and down-to-earth, a combination that makes for an excellent physical therapist. Dylan was also great! Look forward to working with them again.
Michele F.
The staff is beyond amazing here! They have already helped me tremendously and I just started not to long ago. Before coming to professional physical therapy I was very upset about not being able to walk due to a spine injury. Now that I am working with the team here I know I am going to get... better! I am so grateful I have them in my corner pushing me to do my best. It is going to be a long, hard journey for me to walk again but I’m glad I have them to help me reach my goals!read more

My experience with Professional PT Andover has been excellent. Allison Stringer was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problems with my knee. In just a few weeks my knee has felt stronger than it has in years.
Spencer H.
I love Pro PT! They have been so supportive during my ACL and meniscus recovery. All the staff have been super friendly and I know they genuinely care about me and my recovery.
Tim K.
I can't rave enough about the staff at Professional Therapy in Andover, Ma. In the past I have needed PT and I never cared for the results I got from another company. This is why I searched for a new PT location for my next rehab. I was so lucky to have chosen Professional Physical Therapy in... Andover. The staff which is headed by Kate and assisted by Rob is something I've never had the pleasure to enjoy in rehab before. I just recently met the newest member Alicia on my last rehab appointment and for sure Alicia fits in very well with the "vibe" of this location. I believe the tone is set by the Director Kate and I see first hand how the staff interacts with all of the clients no matter the age or rehab needed. It is a highlight of my day when I have an appointment there. I've had great results with my rehab for my injuries and follow up to my surgery.Kate explains what she will be doing and between the rest of the staff set goals/results for me to reach. I could go on but all I can say is check out the PT location and enjoy the results you will see and also enjoy the "vibe" this team puts out each and every visit.Tim K.read more
Yaman S.
I was treated mostly by Dr. Alicia (Therapist) and assisted by Rob (Trainer) at the The Professional Physical Therapy in Andover, MA. Also, met Dr. Kate for a few sessions. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Everyone at the facility was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Not... only was I treated with good therapy but also was helped with the coaching/ongoing workout plans for maintaining good physical well being going forward. I would highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy in Andover, MA.read more
Patrick M.
Wednesday and Friday mornings (7am!) quickly became week highlights. Kate Gleason, PT, DPT and her teammate, Rob are outstanding at what they do. The space is clean and orderly, their hours are convenient for the every day working adult, the therapy is specific and tailored to you, and the RESULTS... will speak for themselves. As a marathoner preparing for BOSTON 5.20.20, my timetable was aggressive. Throughout my treatment, preparation for race day could not take a seat on the sidelines; I had to keep running, running hard throughout. Kate and Rob knew and acknowledged this; together we made it work. Road to recovery.I was discharged today with a complete to do list of exercises and stretches to stay on top of and was encouraged to e-mail with Kate if anything come up. I am feeling much more confident, and pain-free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Andover Professional PT.read more
Tom M.
Kate and Rob are a great team. After working with them my shoulder feels better.Highly recommend this rehab
Justin K.
I’ve been to several other PT's over the years, and this is far and away the best. Kate and Rob create such a welcoming, fun and motivational environment that it’s truly a pleasure to be there. You wouldn’t think you could have a great time while rehabbing/working through aches and pains but it’s... a routine occurrence here. Not to mention I can't remember the last time I was pain free before coming here. The location is perfect for anyone travelling the 93/495 corridor (right off exit 45 of 93) and they have very flexible hours. 10 out of 10read more

Bio

I was an athlete growing up and involved as a competitive figure skater from the age of 7 until the age of 19. My passion for physical therapy started at the age of 16 when I was myself injured while skating and required treatment. My physical therapist was so supportive and helped me to heal not only physically but emotionally as well. He was a figure skater and athlete in the past, so he understood the mental block young athletes often experience after an injury and was able to help me through it when I was ready to return to the ice. I think back to my own experience as a patient, and I want my own patients to feel supported in the same way. Since graduating PT school with my DPT, I was able to participate in an extensive orthopedic continuing education and completed level 1 of the Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy. This program included 10 hours of lab and mentoring time each week for 11 months.

Bio

I remember one patient in particular who helped learn to walk again following a serious spinal cord injury. I will never forget the look on his face when he took his first steps. A few weeks later, he sent us a picture of himself holding his grandchildren. That moment showed me that, as a Physical Therapist, I have the opportunity to do more than help patients recover physically—we can help them return to the activities, relationships, and lives that matter most to them. That is why I chose to become a physical therapist.

I strive to help my patients recover, but most importantly, I want to help them achieve their individual goals so they can return to living their lives to the fullest. I have a strong interest in Women’s Health and completed a clinical rotation in Pelvic health as well as obtaining Level 1 certification in Pelvic Health Function. To further develop my skills, I have I enrolled in the Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy which beings September 2026.
