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!).

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.

I can’t say enough about Donna Layman of CMPT. Donna has been working with me for the past 8 months. She is professional,knowledgeable and very motivational. She has been a constant in my recovery and I am so grateful for her! Thank you Donna for all you have done! Brian Crowe was my PT. I have been going to CMPT since January due to numerous health concerns. Brian has constantly worked with me to keep trying and working to reach my goals. His sense of humor and motivational talks about how to meet my goals have been the key pieces I needed to overcome my health challenges. I feel that these amazing professionals contributed so much to keep me on track . I can’t thank you enough! CMPT is by far the best therapy organization I have been to!

Ben and Donna are phenomenal. They are very professional, knowledgeable, and paid very close attention to my needs. I was able to get stronger quicker than I thought. The gym is very clean and easy to get around. Highly recommend them to anyone.

As a person who has had many reasons to need PT over the years, Jackie is truly extraordinary. She has a very deep understanding of what causes pain/dysfunction of every joint. She listens intently, watches us perform the exercises she instructs us to, and makes subtle or extreme changes in how or what to do based on her keen observations. She understands how to care for aging bodies. Her approach is gentle, encouraging and humble. I use the plural since I have come to find out that 5 of my friends go to her and all have had similar experiences. Every visit I learn more about how to make my joints more healthy and keep them that way. She truly cares.The staff is kind, courteous and efficient. I cannot recommend Jackie and the entire CMPT office more highly.

Top notch facility - I have had PT here more than once and travel 45 minutes, because it is worth it. Most recently worked with Mike R who is an expert in his craft - within a month of starting PT, unexplained pain in my neck started to alleviate itself from adjustments made in my work station and how I use my devices. I have remained pain free since and I'm grateful! No place else I would ever go for PT services!
