IstartedmyexperiencewithBayState Physical Therapy as a Northeastern University clinical student. I worked in Brockton, where I saw a variety of orthopedic conditions. I further developed my passion for physical therapy when completing my clinical rotationatBostonChildren’sHospital. When I graduated with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy, I continued my journey with Bay State in Abington. I had the opportunity to work with an experienced group of clinicians. The environment inAbingtonwaspositive and full of energy. Although patients came to physical therapy for injuries and pain, many patients told me they looked forward to their appointments
each week and arrived and left with smiles on their faces. AstheendofSeptemberapproached, it wasabittersweetfeeling. Iwas leaving Abington for a new journey. I made the decision to move to Springfield to be closer to my family in Upstate New York. As I travel across the state of Massachusetts with a few boxes andmyfiancé, Iamexcited.

Matthewwas hit head on by a truck in early August. He suffered a herniated disc that left him unable to work or perform his daily activities. He had radiating numbness, tingling and pain down his right leg, limiting his ability to walk without a walker or stand for long periods. He arrived at Bay State PT in Pembroke in September and reports “great improvement in the last 3 weeks, due to PT here”. Manual therapy on Matt included soft tissue mobilization, stretching and lumbar traction. He has also had a strengthening and mobility program tailored to his specific limitations. After less than 1 month, Matt is walking without a walker and “feeling much, much stronger”. He is making steady progress towards all of his goals and getting back to his usual routine!
