While I was going to PT I was working with Robert S and it was a great experience! I had a nagging hamstring after pulling it a few years ago. Through the sessions, he was able to clear up the hamstring with soft tissue massages and strength exercise. He also setup a workout plan for me moving... forward to help prevent any future injuries. The whole staff is awesome which creates a friendly and relaxing environment. I would recommend anyone looking for physical therapy to go to Professional Physical Therapy!read more

This place is awesome. I personally worked with Ed and I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a physical therapist. 6 weeks ago it hurt just to walk, and now I feel practically back to normal!!

Ok. I have never had a good PT experience, and I know I’m just starting out here. But I love everything about this place. The coordinator Scott is unbelievably helpful and friendly and just a joy to talk to.. I am working with Robert, honestly I’ve never been more confident in a PT before.. he knew... EXACTLY what was going on, he explained/put into words everything I’ve been feeling for 9 months but didn’t know how to verbalize. His exam was so thorough and thoughtful and really individually focused. I can’t wait to continue here and for once in 9 months I’m fully confident I am in the right hands and truly believe in the methods he discussed with me. 10/5 recommend this place!!read more

Love it! Significantly less pain every time I go. Bobby is the best but honestly everyone is great and they have a fantastic team dynamic. Very clean and upbeat. Great energy and the exercises have helped me after my car accident so much. The knowledge of the staff is remarkable. Love this place!

Matt P.

Back in June 2020 I ruptured my Achilles’ tendon. I elected for surgery and 6wks post op I was cleared to start physical therapy. Looking at all my PT clinic options, the choice was clear that Professional was my best bet. Working directly with the physical therapist Dave for 2 months he had me... back to running, cycling, and hiking in no time! The entire staff is professional, well educated, and most importantly friendly. As an OT myself I couldn’t of asked for a better experience with my recovery.read more

I got into a car accident back in July, I looked at all the reviews and thought I would give here a try. I was in treatment for over 2 months and had the best experience. I was treated the absolute best, everyone in this building knows exactly what they are talking about and makes sure you are in... good hands. They explain every exercise to you thoroughly, I really appreciated never being left in the dark on anything that was going on with my symptoms. I HIGHLY recommend Ed, and Bobby they where where friendly and thorough. Also thank you to Christina, she really went the extra mile to help me with my exercises. I can not rave about this place enough, 10/10 staff.read more

This PT location is absolutely amazing and wonderful! I started post shoulder surgery and have experienced pain relief and increase in arm mobility. They are all welcoming and friendly. Robert is great and very informative about what he is doing and how it helps to continue therapy.

It is with utmost sincerity that I write this review. If anyone is in need of physical therapy, this is definitely the facility to attend.My brother’s rotator cuff injury was successfully treated by Dave Melchiorri who became my physical therapist.From the moment you walk in the door, you know... that you are in a very special place. The whole staff is exceptional. They always greet you with genuine smiles and by your first name...such a personal touch. As the song from Cheers goes, “Sometime you wanna goWhere everybody knowsyour nameAnd they’re always glad youcame.”Having been to other physical therapists, Dave is #1par excellence! He is warm, compassionate, and exceptionally knowledgeable and truly interested in the well being of every patient. His philosophy is to treat the whole body, not just one area. Personally speaking, he has made a big difference in my therapy and I am most grateful and in listening to other patients, their sentiments are the same.Dave’s positive attitude is always present and, as such, it transfers to the patient, thus accelerating home exercises .His success, as well as that of the other physical therapists, in treating many types ofproblems is well known. “Be good to yourself”are his parting words after each session and I highly recommend that you do so by becominga patient at Professional Physical Therapy!read more

I was instructed to perform a few exercises and felt better within in a couple of days.I find the sessions to be reasonably priced and associates are strong in communication.... If you are in the area and looking for help, do check-in!read more

Bio

I became interested in physical therapy during my undergraduate studies in Exercise Science at Elon University. Following graduation, I took a job as an exercise technician at a physician owned practice in Stamford, CT while I applied to PT schools. I fell in love with Boston while visiting for the accepted students weekend at BU and completed my doctorate degree there in May of 2020. As a graduate of the pandemic, I took a job where the need was greatest at a nursing home in Chestnut Hill, MA in late summer 2020. At the beginning of 2021, I shifted jobs to Professional PT in Waltham, MA where I had been a student just a year before. I enjoy treating people of all ages and stages of life and empowering them with the tools to live active and be in control of their pain.

Bio

I grew up in Southern New Jersey where I played several high school sports as well as a few different classical music instruments. I was always in and out of physical therapy as a high school athlete and although I loved the environment and idea of physical therapy, I originally decided to major in music. I was accepted into Boston University’s music performance program, but after the first year and a half of playing at a significantly increased volume I began experiencing a series of playing related injuries which would not allow me to play at the level necessary to be a professional. I eventually decided to switch to physical therapy to help those musicians and athletes who were in my position, struggling to accomplish their goals due to pain. I rely on my background in music and sports and my personal experience as a patient throughout my life to help me treat a wide range of patients.
