Dance Therapy

At PTU we see a lot of dancers with overuse injuries.  Some of these injuries are common but easily avoidable.  One of our Doctors of Physical Therapy, Cassie, has an extensive background in dance and has taught many Master Classes as well as was the former Dance Coach at Bridgewater State University.  Cassie combines her knowledge of the human body and dance and is able to create classes and programs specific to dancers.  If you are interested in having Cassie host a class or multiple sessions for your dancer(s) please reach out to kelly@ptuclinic.com

Strength and Conditioning

We offer both group and 1:1 strength and conditioning sessions with Eddie, Anthony and Steph. Strength and Conditioning is a way of working out that focuses on movement quality to improve performance. This can mean performance for the athlete or for the every day average human just getting around comfortably! A strength and conditioning coach will help you to develop better movement patterns to help prevent injury both on and off the field. A strength and conditioning session might include plyometrics, speed and agility, mobility, core stability, endurance, and weight training! Ask about training at your next visit! Sessions are $60 for 40 minutes of 1 on 1 work with Steph and Anthony! 1:1 with Eddie is $100 as he is both a strength and conditioning coach and physical therapy assistant and will combine both knowledge bases for his sessions.

Dry Needling

People experiencing pain, movement dysfunction, traumatic injuries, and repetitive pain-related injuries can find results and solutions through dry needling. A solid fine filament needle is used to address musculoskeletal deficits found during a movement analysis by your therapist. Benefits of dry needling include pain reduction, improved mobility, and normalization of muscle activation patterns needed for healthy, functional movement. Also known as Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), dry needling is a unique therapy often administered in tandem with traditional physical therapy exercises. It works by targeting trigger points and muscle dysfunction to alleviate pain and reduce muscle tension. The technique speeds up recovery times significantly. Often, patients will see an immediate improvement in range of motion.

Myofascial Therapy

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce pain and limitations that normal therapy cannot always address. “Fascial” refers to the connective tissue that covers and supports the muscles throughout your entire body. During myofascial release therapy, your therapist doesn’t focus specifically on your muscles. They focus on releasing tension in your fascial tissues. It is a type of gentle, constant energy work that releases tightness and pain throughout your myofascial tissues. First, your healthcare provider will locate trigger points, or knots, in your fascial tissues. Then, they’ll gently apply pressure until they feel the tension release. These sessions last approximately 40 minutes each.

Call to schedule $100 a session or 6 for $525!

What is a Recovery Session?

A recovery session includes 30-40 minutes of hands on therapy/massage to a targeted area of your body which is then followed by 20-40 minutes of NormaTec air compression therapy. A recovery session will help your muscles recover faster and for you to feel better. Whether you ran a road race, started a new activty that got you sore or just need a quick tune-up, a Recovery Session can get you feeling better fast!

What is OT?

Occupational Therapy is similar to PT in that it helps you gain back function. Our OT’s Robin and Mary Ellen specifically help people with finger, hand, wrist and elbow pain/problems and concerns. OT’s will assess the area to determine what’s going on and then determine what exercises and hands on techniques will help you to gain full and unlimited use again.

​We have OT available in Bridgewater and Buzzards Bay!
