When my first foot surgeon botched the job, I had other physical therapists literally send me away…read more When that injury ruined my gait and left me permanently disabled and arthritic, other physical therapists gave me the runaround about treating more than one area of my body at a time. "That's a separate case, you can only have one case open at a time." That's very convenient if you're a super athlete with one boo-boo who can't wait to get back on the squash court. But what about the rest of us? People who really need help? Well, thankfully I found Sue and I've been seeing her for years. She treats all her patients with the same level of care and therapeutic focus that she'd bring to one of her star athlete patients whose names she is too modest to mention. She has done wonders for my mobility and pain levels, she knows when to push me and when to smush me (she does this neck thing that is straight-up sorcery I swear). And while she does not spend time dancing with the insurance companies, she DOES give you all the ammo to submit for reimbursement. This gives her the freedom to treat YOU, the person, and all the parts of you that may be rusted. Not quibble about what "case" is open and yaddah yaddah. It's less than I spend for a great massage and it's worth it. Think of PT as self-care for the long haul. And do yourself a favor - call and make an appointment if anything is hurting you. You're still reading this, so there's a good chance it applies to you. Facts: Two years ago I was crying in a bed with a foot the size of the Queen Mary. I STILL have no cartilage south of my Mason-Dixon line and walking used to feel like broken glass. I'm stronger and happier now and I can't recommend Sue enough.

I had such a great experience! Lino used ultrasound to carefully examine the area of my muscle injury, then did electro-acupuncture treatment and helped adjust my pelvic alignment as well. After the session, the tightness in my muscles already felt significantly better. I also mentioned my neck discomfort, and she explained that it was likely caused by compensation from my rotator cuff muscle group. She taught me several rehabilitation exercises with resistance bands that I should do daily to improve the issue long term. Very knowledgeable, patient, and kind :) I genuinely felt like she was treating the root cause instead of just the symptoms. Highly recommend!

I felt pretty hopeless after urgent care only gave me motion sickness meds with no real help. Luckily, I found this amazing therapist online and got an appointment the next day.

Highly recommend!!! So grateful I found her in time!!! She really saved my life!!!!

I just "graduated" from my therapy after shoulder replacement surgery. If there was an option for a…read more10 star review, my therapist Julia Carso would get it. Since this was my second shoulder replacement, I have a basis to compare the treatment that I have received from Julia. Although I was pleased with the outcome from the other therapist, there was no comparison with the Julia's process, and results that I obtained from Julia. In reflecting back on my progress, it is now very obvious that she had built a recovery strategy for me since day one. There has been a constant progression of various exercises that she has adapted to my improving condition. In addition to the treatments, her explanation of what and why we are doing things has been spot on. I really appreciate her combination of technical expertise and practical application throughout my recovery process. Overall, an extremely positive experience. After 2 months, I had full range of motion and now, after three months, I have the go ahead to get back to a regular work out routine. With her explanation of how everything pulls together she gave me some guardrails so that I do not re-injury myself as it has only been 3 months. THANKS FOR EVEYRTHING

I waited an entire month for my initial appointment, and after three weeks of consistent sessions with an excellent physical therapist, I attempted to re-book only to find that my therapist was fully booked for the next six weeks.

This is unfortunate, as the physical therapist I worked with was exceptional and dedicated.

I've been searching for real help for over 10 years, and I don't say this lightly when I say that…read moremeeting Carina O'Neill truly changed something in me. Over the years, I've seen countless doctors, specialists, and pain clinics. I've had just about every injection you can imagine. What stood out to me before I even met her was that multiple doctors, all from different buildings and institutions, independently told me the same thing, "If anyone can help you, it's her." That alone says everything. From the moment I met Dr. O'Neill at Spaulding in Braintree, I felt something I haven't felt in a very long time... I truly felt seen. She didn't rush me. She didn't talk over me. She didn't treat me like a chart, a case, or a number. She treated me like a human being who has been carrying pain for a very long time. Her empathy was immediate and genuine. She spoke to me gently, listened fully, and truly validated everything I've been experiencing for years. The injections themselves were unlike anything I've ever had, and that's saying a lot. (I've had hundred maybe even thousands of injections over the years) She was able to inject in places no other doctor has ever addressed, areas I didn't even realize could be treated because no one else had the experience or confidence to go there. I felt relief right away, and in the days following I've noticed slow, meaningful progress, the kind of progress that brings real hope. But more than the physical relief, what has stayed with me is knowing that she truly cares. I can tell that no matter what, she will do everything in her power to help me. That kind of care is rare. After a decade of feeling dismissed, minimized, or overlooked, she made me feel like a person again. I now completely understand why she's talked about the way she is, why doctors across New England know her name, and why she's the one they send their hardest cases to. One visit was enough to see it clearly. Carina O'Neill is extraordinary. Without question, Carina O'Neill has put Spaulding Rehabilitation in Braintree on the map. I am beyond grateful I found my way to her, and for the first time in years, I feel hopeful.

These help people with a CTD, connective tissue disorder, like my Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. They prevent my fingers from hyperextending and eventually dislocating. Donna VanHelene has the knowledge, skill and patience to design each custom finger brace with the TLC it needs. Then, during follow up visits, she will adjust and refit the custom hand braces as needed. THE DEAL: If you have a CTD, like me, Donna can help address, and hopefully reduce, pain in your hands and wrists!
