HD Physical Therapy

I cannot say enough positive things about my wonderful experience at HD Physical Therapy!
I am pretty physically active, and had injured my neck during a workout at the gym. After living with the pain for about a year, and having tried to work on healing and stretching the injury on my own, I had started to get nervous that the pain would never go away. I looked up all of the physical therapy offices in my area, and just picked one based on convenience for my commute. Looking back on the three months of therapy I had at HDPT, I could not have made a better choice. The atmosphere there is great, as each staff member’s personality helps to contribute to a therapy environment that feels 100% professional, encouraging, and progressive each week, while not feeling like it is overly clinical. As many other reviewers have stated here, I looked forward to going to treatment each week, because I knew that each staff member who would work with me that day had fully assessed my injury complaints and physical progress up to that weekly visit, and would develop a therapy session per visit that would force my body to adapt as was needed in order to help work out and relieve the pain of my injury. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and motivated, and I felt like the personalized attention that I received during each session helped me to walk away feeling like I had both a better understanding of what had caused my injury, as well as a better understanding of how the therapy was treating it. They’ve improved body mechanics issues that I was never aware I had problems with, and my neck feels great.
Glenn, Ed, Robbie, Christine, Svet, Sean, Becca, Michelle, Ryan and Aby made me feel comfortable and welcome from the first day I walked in until my very last session, and I can say without a doubt that I’m walking away from HDPT with a more profound respect for how physical therapy can benefit someone active like me, when an injury seems like it will never go away. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!

I could not have been any happier with my experience at HDPT.
I had an unpleasant experience at another physical therapy practice, and the staff here renewed my faith that a physical therapy practice could do it right.
From easy scheduling — they offer same day first assessments — to a great location (it is right off of Route ⁹⁵⁄₁₂₈), you cannot go wrong. Parking is not an issue, and the interior environment is warm and welcoming.
I came to them for a patellar tendon/​knee issue that prevented me from running. I met with Glenn, one of the owners of HDPT. During my assessment, he listened carefully, offered insight as to what may be happening, then told me ideas he had for the plan of attack.
Another reviewer on here mentioned that they actually looked forward to going for treatment, and I can echo that. The staff is exceedingly outgoing and kind, and what was very impressive was that everyone knew your name as well as (and more importantly) what issue you were dealing with and always asked «How’s your knee?»
As for the treatment itself, it was very broad — the physical therapists (Glenn, Ed, Svet, Robbie, and the nice woman I never worked with) are all very knowledgeable and up to date on all techniques, coming up with new and helpful challenges every session.
The assistants also are very knowledgeable and know their stuff — they are a key component in your therapy and make you feel comfortable and confident in their care.
These guys are the best — you won’t be disappointed!

Unfortunately I have been to many physical therapy clinics in my life; (
HD physical therapy is easily the best!
Glenn and Ed are extremely knowledgeable and the whole staff is great.
Awesome atmosphere. I actually look forward to going (crazy right).
Thanks for helping me get me ROM back!

WOW!
I have been to my share of PT providers for a variety of issues, so I have a wide base for comparison. These guys set the bar for what PT should be. After just a few visits I have seen incredible progress in my condition. You get full on attention when you have an appointment, as your therapists stays with you your entire session. Other places I have been to the therapists are seeing several patients at a time. My sessions have also been comprehensive in my treatment approach, which is likely the reason for my quick progression. And you will never have more fun doing PT. The entire staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly to add to their expertise and professionalism. Run, don’t walk to HDPT! (And if your injury prevents you from running/​walking, the therapists at HDPT will get you there!)

Growing practice, great space & location. Easy to get convenient appts, they have at least 4 PTs & 5 trainees on staff, so there’s no waiting.
Good therapy– they know they’re stuff, & the office manager understand how to maximize treatments based on your insurance rules.
This is 2^nd injury they are helping me with. & I’m very satisfied.

I was able to go the distance to run and complete my first half-​marathon thanks to Glenn at HDPT!
Let me start from the beginning…
I first started training for the Chilly Half-​marathon last August of 2012. I didn’t train right and started getting severe pain in my right knee a week or two into training. I just proceeded to take ibuprofen and run through the pain for a few more weeks until the pain became so unbearable I could barely walk. That’s when I first came to HDPT. After a free consultation one of the Physical Therapists, Glenn, told me I had Patellar tendinitis. We were optimistic about me being able to continue training for the half-​marathon but I had done some good damage by waiting too long to get checked out and start physical therapy. Over the next few months I came in for weekly PT and we reconditioned my knees and strengthened my leg muscles. However, I wasn’t able to run the Chilly half marathon that November.
Fast forward to the Spring. I started training for the Triple Threat half-​marathon which took place a few weeks ago in Rockport. I began a 16 week training program in April. Towards the end of May I developed some pain around my right buttock area and thought it was my piriformis muscle (self-​diagnosis from Internet sites based on symptoms is the worst idea possible). After a week or two of stretching and rest I tried running again and couldn’t run for more than a minute without being in pain. I decided I wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice.
I decided to go see Glenn quickly this time. No lie, he was able to fix me in one visit and make the pain completely go away! He did some pulling, cracking, and stretching of my legs and said I should be good to go in a day. I remember thinking… no way. Well, I kid you not, I was completely pain free the next day!!! I was back to training and only fell about 2 weeks behind in my training schedule. I just completed my first half marathon, the Triple Threat, in Rockport two weeks ago. I have to say that there’s no way I could’ve done it without the help of Glenn and HDPT to get me back on track so quickly in my training plan.
These guys are the real deal and I would recommend them to anyone!

«If you are looking for a place to get physical therapy look no further than HDPT. I have been dealing with neck pain that I sustained after a recent car accident. I tried PT at multiple places with no success. One of the facilities actually made me feel worse, the other didn’t seem to be making me feel any better and I was simply not happy with their service. My husband treated at HDPT and loved it, so I decided to give them a try as well. I am very happy that I did as I am still currently treating and can already feel a huge improvement. The personal attention you get from the HDPT staff is like nothing I have experienced before. Glenn and Ed are two highly motivated professionals with an extensive knowledge of how the body works, as well as tons of clinical experience, and manual therapy skills that make a huge difference that I have not found anywhere else. They not only relieve your pain and help get back to your activities but they also make your time in PT enjoyable.» — Natalia, Stoneham, MA
