A few weeks ago I complained yelp style about the epic wait/disorganization (who wants to wait 3…read moremonths to start PT?) of the scheduling staff. This is still true and will likely still be true for me (and you) in the future. But I wanted to update about the quality of treatment because it stands out. I've been getting PT for chronic pain for the past year and a half and have worked with 5 physical therapists at different practices. 4 out of the 5 didn't seem to know what they were doing with me and I got hurt pretty badly. Sometimes more than once if I stuck with that person because I thought that's how PT worked. The only PT who seem to know what they were doing was private pay ($$) so I didn't have the highest hopes for this program. But after my first day of finally starting with a PT/OT regimen I realized they really understand chronic pain. Which is great, because literally everyone I have worked with so far hasn't. I love that they have OT here, no other chronic pain program I have been to or looked into has it, because they teach you how to properly do things so you can protect your body. They also build in biofeedback, stress management, coping, and CBT. Holy comprehensive. So if you've started going to a pain clinic and found that it doesn't seem like the best fit, get a first appointment here (2 months + out) then expect your PT/OT eval 3-4 weeks later, and first appointments 2 weeks later. If they recommend the weekly group program the wait may be longer. Stick with your crappy pain clinic until you can finally get in here and I think you'll be glad you put up with waiting like I did.

I was a patient at Spaulding Medford about 5 years ago. Ostensibly, it was a rehab program. I was…read moreso excited to do PT, OT, etc. Instead what we patients received was gaslighting and cruelty. I was not there for pain, as my condition does not cause me to experience pain, I was there for physical rehab. Depsite that, I was told every day I was focused on the pain (what pain?!) and that it was "all in my head"-- despite the fact that I have a serious, progressive neurological condition. I asked OT to teach me ways to do chores and errands with my conditions limitations. Instead, she made me do Tai Chi in my chair for every session twice a week for 3 months. I learned nothing. They not only didnt help me physically, but the damage they did to my psyche is permanent. 5 years later, I still regularly think about what they did amd said to us patients. Their social worker was especially horrific, and should never be allowed to be work with patients. Some of the things she said to me will never leave my brain. As soon as I left the program, I got myself into a *real* PT/OT program at MGH and it made a huge difference, especially as I received all the medical and mental support one needs during a major recovery. The regular Spaulding programs are fantastic. The medford clinic pain and rehab program should be avoided and shut down. Many such clinics across the country are being shut down (such as Philly CHOP's,which this is based off of) as more and more evidence comes out about how these programs' approaches irreparably harm patients. Please avoid this place and find a regular OT/PT office. This is not the place to go to heal.

I had surgery to replace it and was told to start physical therapy within two weeks of the surgery. I went to HD Therapy and am working with Mark.

Thanks to Mark, I was able to help my daughter move, and had no issue with my elbow. I go once a week now and truly feel like I have my life back. Thank you Mark!! I recommend HD Therapy very highly.

Joe Bernardo worked miracles on a shoulder with 2 rotator cuff tears and a ruptured bicep tendon. I opted not to have surgery, which I understood was not always successful and spent 4 months in PT with Joe. The treatment plan was always specific to my current range of motion, pain level and the activity level I wanted to achieve. We diligently worked through all of the functionality. I cannot say enough about how responsive and respectful Joe was at every session and I am over the moon with the result. I also want to say that all of the support staff was terrific and I was welcomed with open arms every time I arrived.

I have so many tools in my tool belt now to prevent relapse into a similar situation and I have Chris and the team to thank! Everyone I interacted with in the practice is top notch - from the front desk staff to the PTs to the assistants.

Most of my experience over the years is with Al Visnick but I've also seen Judy & Todd who are fantastic too. Most recently they weren't under my insurance but I went there out of pocket anyway because I don't trust anyone but Al Visnick to work on my spine. I have chronic issues with my spine and neck, exacerbated by my profession. Among his many talents, Al is an expert on the spine. Not only did he completely adjust my thoracic spine and neck to be better than ever, but he trained me to change my working environment and setup as well as my postural habits to the point where my chronic pain has essentially disappeared so long as I follow his advice. And because of the great work he did on my neck and spine, along with the simple at-home exercises he taught me to maintain it, I am able to very quickly get back to being pain free if I ever slip back into old habits. He's taught me to manage this essential part of my life so that I can work longer and more productively without any pain. I am forever grateful to him for this as I'd not be able to do my job without it. In addition to Al being a miracle worker, there's Todd, who is meticulous and amazing. My husband went to him for his chronic back issues. He used to regularly throw his back out and suffer a lot each time, but not only did Todd fix it every time, he taught my husband how to avoid re-injuring himself, as well as how to do maintenance and recovery exercises and stretched at home to the point that my husband hasn't had to go in for many years now. I've also gone to Judy a few times and find her extremely helpful not just for the physical therapy but also for her attentiveness, the questions she asks, and the incredible advice she gives. She had a gift for honing in on things you should be doing differently to reduce chronic pain, so even one session with her is really helpful.
