An Innovative Approach to Physical Therapy

We are CMPT! One of Central Mass’s top physical therapy practices and home of the “Best of Central Mass.”

In a profession that is becoming more numbers driven, CMPT chooses QUALITY over quantity every time.  CMPT believes in a one-on-one treatment approach and at times, a two-on-one approach (that’s two CMPT therapists to one patient in the same session!).

I was a patient at Central Mass after an ACL tear and the resulting surgery. TJ and Mike helped me with my initial recovery and strength building to get me back into playing rugby and running long distance. After initial PT, I attended TJ's ACL return to sport training classes to help build my strength and agility up to a competitive level. I was back to playing rugby at 9 months, and playing in my competitive season at the 12 month mark! I don't think this would have happened without their consistent and thorough care. Central Mass has great hours that accommodate my busy schedule as well, so I was able to continue my rehab without having to cut work hours. Thanks again TJ and Mike! -Hannah

TJ and Brian did a great job working with me through my ACL repair. They helped me with pain management, building strength, mobility and challenged me to reach full potential. I got to work with TJ further into my recovery and he provided me with various workout plans to help keep me on track outside of appointments as well. They definitely made this journey easier to get through. I couldn't say one bad thing about my experience at Central Mass!

It was an awesome experience working with Donna Layman. My son immediately warmed up to her. Donna developed an exercise and strengthening program that completely addressed the knee pain my son was experiencing. She followed up on progress every week and adjusted the therapy accordingly. Donna was also excellent at providing info and tips related to my son's running program. We are extremely happy with the results of the physical therapy Donna performed.

After a significant surgery, I needed to find a physical therapy clinic. My son recommended CMPT in West Boylston because of the positive experience he had had there. On my first day of physical therapy, I was greeted by a courteous office staff. It was a welcoming atmosphere. All my sessions began promptly at the assigned time. I was so fortunate to be able to work with Katy Jones and Margaret DiPilato as my physical therapists. They were both so kind, patient, and professional. They were invested in my recuperation making sure that that the exercises were executed correctly. Katy and Margaret were diligent in making sure that I regained my strength. Their expertise and skill were invaluable in helping me recover so that I can resume the activities that I love. I am so grateful for the care and support they provided me during my physical therapy journey. I would highly recommend CMPT for all of your physical therapy needs.
