At Harvard Vanguard, we have highly-skilled physical therapists and physical therapy assistants who provide a range of services for children and adults at eight convenient locations in and around Boston. We use a functionally-based approach to help individuals of all ages and all activity levels meet their goals, such as:
- Recover from an injury, accident or surgery
- Learn techniques to prevent injury or improve performance for recreational and professional sports
- Return to a daily routine without pain and limitations
We pride ourselves on our highly-individualized approach to care. We understand that what each patient hopes to accomplish through physical therapy can be very different from person to person and situation to situation. We therefore work with you to design a therapy plan that will help you achieve your specific, personal goals.
We can offer the following services to our patients:
- Orthopedic Rehabilitation
- Sport-related Rehabilitation
- Pre-and Post-surgical Care
- Balance/Gait Improvement
- Chronic Pain Management
- Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)/Graston Technique
- Manual Therapy Skills
- Various Athletic Taping Techniques (such as the Kinesio technique)
- Motor Vehicle Accident Rehabilitation
- Worker’s Compensation Rehabilitation
We also provide these specialized services at select locations: orthotics, vestibular rehabilitation, wheelchair fittings, and pediatric neurological and developmental care. Please ask about locations for these services at the time you make your appointment.
A referral from your primary care provider or specialist is required to schedule your initial physical therapy appointment. Once we have received that referral from your clinician, a member of our physical therapy team will contact you to set up your appointment. We work closely with your referring providers and specialists to ensure your care will be well-coordinated and seamless.
