The Center for Sports and Physical Therapy UMass Memorial - Marlborough Hospital

TL;DR: I am forever grateful to Dan and Sonya for helping me get back to a level of activity that I had not seen in the five years since having my daughter. Long story: Having been active my entire life, I knew I wanted to be in the best shape possible before having a child. 2019, pregnant and active through my pregnancy, looking to get back into things after post-partum recovery. Fast forward a few months and I couldn't increase my activity without pain in my right side. Pain that would keep getting worse the more I worked out. In the three years that followed, I tried everything. I saw doctors from a number of specialties, PCP, OB , sports medicine, ortho, PMNR and osteopathic. I had imaging- xrays, MRIs, and ultrasounds. I tried two rounds of physical therapy. I did injections - steroids, joint injections and saline/dextrose treatments. I did chiropractic sessions. I had surgery recommended to me but was uncomfortable moving forward not knowing the root cause. Nothing was working, queue several years of depression. I moved to Massachusetts and found I could do Peloton bike workouts but I wanted more. I wanted to give PT one more try. Fast forward to June of 2024, I met Dan and Sonya. They worked a miracle. Through the next 6 months we tried several different therapies, strengthen and stretching exercises all while trying to keep up / increase my activity level. They listened and adjusted things as necessary. I have since graduated and completed my first triathlon in over 10 years and am increasing my run mileage without pain. I have every reason to believe I will continue to be able to train and remain pain free. Thank you Dan and Sonya - and UMass, give them a raise, they deserve all of it.

I feel so bad right now because I did the little review they do at the end of your call to rate your call and the person you spoke with. And by total accident I pressed 1 on how well the woman I spoke with did with my call! And 1 is the WORST! I meant to press 5! So please know that Patti...who is the woman i spoke with...was amazing and all 5's across the board!! Thank you!!

Just want to thank Dr Tarah Joseph and Sonya May for helping to elevate the pain in my hip and leg. They were very thorough in explaining the exercise/procedure and how it would work. They listened to my questions and explained what to do. They were patient and kind. The receptionist was very personable to everyone . I highly recommend this facility.

I went to the center after spraining my ankle and breaking my fibula. Over the course of my visits I worked with Hope, Sonya, Paul and Dan. All therapists were compassionate, attentive and always explained what "our" goals were to get me back to my pre injury level of fitness. At each appointment my therapist worked solely with me. With their knowledge, guidance and supervised exercises I progressed to discharge. I would recommend this facility and staff (including administrative staff) to anyone in need of PT.

The therapist I work with, Tarah, is great. She’s very thorough and explains the purpose/goal of each exercise.

I have had 18 surgeries in my life. Most of which required physical therapy. They are the best by far. My therapists were Dan and Jonah. Great skills and very professional. I had roughly 20 sessions with them and never left with a question unanswered. The entire staff is friendly. They make it a very comfortable environment and would strongly recommend them.

The therapists I worked with were GREAT! The exercises varied as to not get boring and to target specific areas that needed attention. The system was on time, close parking, easy access from most places in central Mass, just off 290, not far from route 9.

I went to the center due to lower body weakness and fatigue from a two month illness. I walked in there wearing a mask and feeling very run down. I was there for 15 appointments. Dan and all of the therapists there treated me like family. They worked me out and stretched me out. Gave me exercises to do at home, plus do's and don'ts. I walked out of there after those 15 appointments feeling like a new man. I am so glad that I went for my P.T. there. The place is super clean and they really know their trade. I would highly recommend "The Center For Sports and Physical Therapy" of Shrewsbury. Richard DeCiantis North Grafton MA.
