Wakefield Physical Therapy Associates

Great place for the physical therapy you need!
This was my second experience with Andy, a skilled, personable physical therapist. (First series of visits was several years ago for a shoulder problem. Second series of visits, for a hip problem, just ended recently.) Each problem he dealt with required several weeks of visits, so I got to know him and the staff very well. (His wife, Ginger, also provides excellent PT services.)
The facility is easily reached and parking is right outside the door. The office has an intimate feeling to it — enough space and treatment rooms to feel comfortable, yet not so big that you feel overwhelmed. The reception staff is welcoming, friendly and professional.
Andy is a superb therapist. He is thorough and knowledgeable. You never feel rushed. He explains what he is doing and why. He knows how to push you just enough to make progress and feel good about it. He knows the pace of progress to expect and the potential pitfalls along the way. Andy communicates well with the referring physician; my orthopedist commented on his thoroughness and great written report at one of my follow visits.
As another reviewer noted, there is a mix of teenagers and us older folks at the office, so you just know that they are doing it right!
Highly recommended!

Wonderful physical therapy! Knowledgable, helpful and really nice. I like that they have a couple patients at once — I don’t need someoen watching me lift my left up and down for 10 minutes and making small talk. Andy sets you up, watches you do a couple reps, and then checks back in after a few minutes to answer questions, watch you again, make sure everything is okay. I can concentrate on what I am doing in peace!
I like that he sends me home with instructions (written) after most sessions and always answers my questions with a smile and laugh. It’s also really easy to get an appointment with them. Even though they say the appointments are 60 minutes, I’m always there for at least 75 — 90 minutes. I like that they don’t rush you. There is a prescribed amound of excercises they want you to do, and if it takes you 40 minutes or 80 minutes, you are there until you finish the routine. They don’t confine you to the 60-​minutes you are supposed to be there, and I’ve seen significant progress since I’ve started going for knee rehab.
The patients range from high schoolers to senior citizens, from knee/​foot to shoulder/​arm to balance injuries. Very nice, patient and helpful. Exactly what you want in a physical therapist!
