McGovern Physical Therapy Associates - The Personal Care Professionals

PATIENT SUCCESS STORIES

"When I first came to PT, I could not turn my head to the left, or lift my right arm any further than my ribs. After 12 weeks at MPTA, I can do all that, plus my daily duties and lift my 6 month old son! The staff is wonderful and they make everyone feel comfortable."

- Charlene, Malden, MA

"With my Achilles injury, just walking was painful. Through your careful evaluations, exercises, stretching and hands-on therapy, my pain has been completely alleviated. I would like to commend the staff on explaining, describing and demonstrating all of the exercises prescribed. The ease at which each one of you interacts with the patients is commendable."

- Mike, Malden, MA

"I injured my knee and was using crutches. I then had complications from the crutches; my posture and walking were suffering. I went to my doctor who said I would definitely need surgery on my knee. I asked him to let me work with MPTA for a while. It was a long road, but the therapists really gave me the confidence to get over the frustration and the strength to not give up. I never ended up having the surgery. I continue to do my at-home exercises and I am now walking fine. MPTA is a very skilled and organized team that works together. They really care about your full recovery. I would recommend them to anyone."

- Karen, Revere, MA

"I was very upset with myself for not going back to the gym. Months went by and they turned into years. What I thought were nagging injuries were really serious problems. I thought I was lazy, but my back and knee had injuries preventing me from performing. I had a consultation with Kevin McGovern, who told me that due to my pronated (flat) feet, my back and knees were out of alignment. After he showed me drawings of skeletons and how my back was out of alignment, I had a lot of fear. I asked him if he thought surgery was necessary. He smiled reassuringly and said, 'No, I can fix your alignment issues with physical therapy.' I was suspicious. However, after two months, my back and knee now feel fantastic, and I have been able to return to the gym. MPTA even fitted me with orthotics that corrected my flatfeet. The therapists at McGovern are amazing, professional, patient and very friendly. I was always made to feel comfortable and at ease. Thanks, McGovern PT. I appreciate your help and am happy to return to my life!"

- S. Miller, Revere, MA

"I am an executive chef for a local catering company. When I came to McGovern Physical Therapy Associates, I could not move my left fingers, wrist or hand. With McGovern's help, attentiveness and extreme professionalism, I was able to regain full mobility and strength in my entire hand with only eight visits! MPTA was able to help me overcome the obstacles that were preventing me from living my normal life. I thank them all so much; they are the icons of physical therapy."

- Troy S., Revere, MA

"Prior to coming to McGovern Physical Therapy Associates, I was struggling with the weakness and leg pains often associated with multiple sclerosis. With the caring help and support of all the staff, I am excited to report that under their guidance and attentive care, I have regained most of the leg strength that I had prior to my MS diagnosis. My doctors are thrilled with my progress. Thanks to everyone here for not only helping me physically, but for the boost your care gave me mentally."

- Lori R., Lynn, MA

"After being hit by a car, I was in intense pain. I started working with McGovern Physical Therapy one month after my accident, and they changed my life in a huge way. Thoroughly attentive, knowledgeable therapists helped me get better. Special thanks to Erin and Karyn, who are without a doubt outstanding at what they do. It was an excellent experience."

- Danielle F., Revere, MA

"Kevin, you are blessed with a wonderful staff, from the receptionists to the therapists. They are courteous and pleasant. When I would come for my sessions, I never felt as though it was all business. Your staff made me feel as though I was the only patient there. I can't thank you all enough for getting me through these past four months. All of you have been so pleasant, humorous and knowledgeable. You certainly love your work, and it shows."

- Linda S., Revere, MA

"The staff always took the time to thoroughly go over my treatment plans, to listen to their patients and to try everything to help improve my overall function levels. First we concentrated on decreasing pain, then increasing my range of motion and then eventually exercising to strengthen my muscles to prevent a re-injury."

- Christine S., Revere, MA

"McGovern has great physical therapists and staff. I came to the program very skeptical and left knowing that my injury was gone. Thank you so much to everyone who assisted me in my recovery."

- Adriana D., Revere, MA

"When I was injured, I thought twice about coming to PT, because I had a bad experience in the past; I went once and never returned. However at McGovern, everyone was so nice and made me feel at ease. I actually enjoyed coming; I met some very nice people."

- Tawnya S., Lynn, MA

"I came to MPTA for an existing pain in my mid and lower back. Since I started here, I have been able to recognize how to deal with my back problems before the pain starts. I want to thank everyone here for getting me back on track."

- Isabella R., Revere, MA

"When I started therapy at McGovern, I was completely disabled and in constant pain. With the care I received, I am now back to work and my pain is manageable. The PT staff was great and made what was a bad situation much better."

- Andrea C., Revere, MA

"I have to say that my experience at McGovern was great. Not only did the treatment that I received help me, but the attitudes and kindness of the staff made it easier for me to understand my pain and what is going on with my body. I want to thank everyone for their kindness. It was a wonderful experience and I feel good. I would definitely recommend McGovern to anyone."

- Mary I., Revere, MA

"I have come very far from being someone who is left-handed and fell on my left hand and arm to someone who is now free from pain. McGovern PT staff helped me when I was down and reassured me that I was always coming along. I could see and feel the difference in my hand over the course of treatment. The exercises they gave me to do even strengthened my hand. They are always there for you, no matter how many questions you may have."
