I am so deeply grateful to Erich and his phenomenal team. Going through physical therapy can be challenging, but Erich made every session incredibly productive, encouraging, and effective. His knowledge and patient-centered approach are unmatched. The staff creates such a warm, positive, and professional environment that you actually look forward to your appointments. Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job and helping me get back to feeling my best. read more

The therapists are knowledgable, helpful & friendly. They ask good questions and listen to answers

kind and professional. Hanna was my primary physical therapist, guerna and Maria helped out too from time to time. I got to learn much more on how to take care of my target area. read more

I had the best possible experience at Professional PT's Back Bay location under the kind attention of Nick Almonte, DPT. During a months-long rehab for a broken arm, he continuously challenged and encouraged me, resulting in a return to functionality I was not sure at the outset could be achieved. The facility is spotless, and all the staff on hand work as a team to make each session efficient and productive. It's a joyful atmosphere, where everyone knows your name - very conducive to healing! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this practice!! Firstly, the hours are unbeatable and the location is so convenient. Beyond this, the providers are truly exceptional. I worker with both Dani and Rachel and they are AMAZING! I cannot recommend them enough!! Thanks so much for such excellent care :) read more

The entire team at Professional Physical Therapy was terrific - very attentive, friendly and caring. A special shout out for Erich. He spent the time to understand my issues and explain my treatment plan. The result was a huge improvement in my range of motion and pain reduction. I highly recommend Professional PT! read more

Thanks to the team at Professional PT om Boylcalledwhen I called I was in a lot of pain. Jason called me back right away and even called me when an opening popped up. Nick was so nice and his first recommendations starts to help immediately. And thanks to Tyler! read more

I was referred to Professional PT by my surgeon after a bicep tendon repair that left me immobile and with nerve damage that meant I had no wrist or finger inflexion and no opposable thumb. I went from declaring "this will be the summer of fitness!" to wondering "will my arm ever work again?" Danica, Evan, Brendan and so many interns helped me to regain strength and mobility. They did so with by being firm (in a gentle way) and always with good humor, and they really helped me keep my spirits up during the dark days of "frozen shoulder." I've had a lot of physical therapy in the last few years, and while it's all been helpful, these folks are standouts. Highest recommendations. read more

Best physical therapy .Help my son so much recover from his injury. Ash is the best !!!!!! read more

There's a terrific team with a lot of knowledge at Professional PT. I came in with a pain I'd had for more than a year and they got me started on a therapy regimen that led to my pain totally gone in a few months. Go see them, they'll help! read more

My insurance provider had sent me an outdated list of physical therapists. I was looking for one in my hometown area but had no luck. I did my own searching and found Erich LaFalce representing Professional Physical Therapy online. I called back my insurance provider and asked if they could scan to see if he would be covered in my network. He was and even though he was in Boston, Professional Physical Therapy was really easy to get to. Just a train ride to get there at Copley and they were right across the street. In the beginning my issues were very, very painful and I lost a lot of sleep at night. After weeks of committing to the physical therapy I have healed well and am able to function normally and sleep without pain now. I am so grateful to Erich and Trish for working with me and making me better. Everybody there at P.P.T. was so nice. The atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable and not in the least intimidating. The view of the area is also nice if you're working out near the windows. Thank you so much for what you wonderful people do at P.P.T. and thank you for helping to improve the quality of my activities. read more

Danica and the entire team in the Back Bay office are top notch. They are knowledgeable, caring and dedicated physical therapists who are also genuinely nice people. The upbeat environment is warm and welcoming to all. I will be forever grateful for their help getting my shoulder back to working the way it should. read more

I went to Professional Physical Therapy Back Bay for 10+ session for a lower back issue. Scheduling and rescheduling appointments was very easy. My PT, Evan, was fantastic, and he and his colleagues coordinated very well to make sure that I always had appropriate level of attention during my exercises. Overall, I would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a PT that is efficient and effective. read more

I recently had Spinal Surgery and needed physical therapy. After researching many places, I decided to go with Professional Physical Therapy. I couldn't be happier. Jason at the front desk who was so helpful getting my insurance approved. To my first visit with Hannah and her team - Hannah is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and eager to get me started on the road to recovery. I have been going for 5 weeks and after each visit I feel like I am one step closer to a full recovery. The staff is amazing and always there to help. The facility is clean, spacious and easy to get to. You won't be disappointed. Call today!!! read more

For a personal trainer and someone who needs to be active, receiving a painful headaches after and during exercise was quite a bummer. I went over to see the only physical therapist who I would let perform an adjustment on me. Matt McManus had me up and moving again with a full range of motion, and pain-free within 15 minutes. There really is no other option for your physical therapy needs than ProEx read more

Matt and his team are amazing. Only after a few sessions my Achilles heal was feeling better, and after a few more was back to normal. They're friendly, upbeat, easy to work with, and conveniently located in Copley. I'd fully recommend them! read more

Short of setting up a ProEx shrine, lighting daily incense, and conjuring up some physical therapy chant, I'm a big fan:D. Months of living in my unsupportive Sorel winter boots (and not realizing they were wreaking havoc on my feet) had led to my left foot hurting constantly after standing for more than 15 minutes, or walking even half a mile. I'd throw on my sad face and beg people for their seats at bars, wince at the thought of having to walk for more than 10 minutes at a time, and wonder why my foot hurt even in those super unfashionable, but unbelievably supportive sneakers. This led me to three months with a podiatrist who had recommended custom made orthotics, generic orthotics, and had put me in a walking boot/AirCast, which ended up causing pain / Posterior Tibial Tendonitis in my right foot. Follow that with a useless visit with an orthopedic doctor who dismissed my pain as "it's probably plantar fasciitis, just stretch it and it'll go away", and left the room before I even got a chance to respond or ask questions. Three months of pain, and one too many useless visits that culminated in little to no change. Enter, my Google search and friends who are chiropractors, doctors, physical therapists, and former victims of sprained ankles and other foot problems. The one common piece of advice I got from my friends, and my dearest friend, Google, was simple: GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY. I'm glad I listened. My pain was going nowhere fast, and quite frankly, I was starting to look like a mom who wore Saucony's to every social event, with everyone asking why I always looked like I had just worked out. I was THIS close to putting on mom jeans, getting a mom haircut, driving a minivan, and just tossing any chance of looking cute and put together in my 20's into the dumpster. None of my friends seemed to have gone to physical therapists who were still working in Boston, so with no real recommendations, I turned to Yelp and randomly found ProEx. I was assigned to Stephanie Novello, who is one of the best physical therapists I've ever been to (unfortunately, I'm no newbie to PT, having screwed up several joints in the past). She's adept at evaluating your injury, understanding where you are in your spectrum of pain, and where you want to get to -- back to your favorite physical activities, or just back to being pain-free. Having been a collegiate athlete who had gone through the trials of PT herself, she's keenly aware of any patient's complex frustrations with their injury. It's usually a long road to a full recovery, but she's great at providing you with a roadmap to your end goal, and the sound advice and momentum you need to get there. About 6 weeks of a hip/calf/foot stretching and strengthening regimen later, the pain in my foot has become far more manageable (who knew so many parts of the body could be linked to pain manifesting in one place?), with far less frequent flare-ups of pain. I'm on my way to running again, something that was unimaginable 6 weeks earlier, without me wincing or having to stop frequently and limp back home in pain. I have to thank Steph for all her help in getting me far down the road to recovery, and the whole ProEx team (Shaneka, MK, Sarah) for being the cast of upbeat cheerleaders needed for the weeks of seemingly mundane exercises that are needed to strengthen the parts of your body that have weakened due to injury. We had some weekly deep convos about the latest and greatest on Netflix, after all. And big shoutout to my PT twin Jeff B. who not only graduated PT before me, but beat me to Yelp reviewing ProEx:D. read more

I got a staff infection after a meniscus transplant, resulting in 6 knee surgeries over a short 3-month time. Matt and the team went above and beyond to help me get back on my feet. As a former collegiate athlete and a banged up body, I've had a lot of physical therapists, and can honestly say these guys are second to none! My program was tailored to my needs. Great people delivering great results. I highly recommend! read more

If I could give 10 starts I would! I was a patient at Professional Physical Therapy in Back Bay for a few months due to a sports injury. I could not have been any happier with the quality of care and attention I received. To give a brief background, I have unfortunately been in and out of physical therapy over the past few years due to some injuries I've had. This has given me an insight into the breadth of quality of a physical therapists, and I can say without a doubt this was up there with the best physical therapists I've ever had. I had the privilege of working with Mike, and he could not have been any better! Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and hands-on, but he is extremely caring, kind, and funny. I genuinely enjoyed coming to physical therapy and was comforted knowing I was in good hands. All of the physical therapists were fantastic and create a welcoming and friendly environment for all of their patients. They helped me get back to playing sports with confidence and strength. If you are looking for a physical therapy clinic, this is the one. read more

Matt and the team at ProEx were great to work with while recovering from cycling repetitive injury issue. They were totally professional at all times and were focused on what I needed to get out of my time with them. They started with a quick, easy evaluation of my injury. They put me on a stretching and strengthening regimen and after 6 visits I was feeling much better. After my visits I am able to manage the issue by continuing the exercises I learned at ProEx. I wholly recommend ProEx! read more

Nice friendly staff and very convenient location if you work or live in back bay, but went for 3 months and my issue was never resolved. Wouldn't recommend. read more

First class all the way. I walked into ProEx Back Bay after a grade 2 ankle sprain with a weak ankle and poor balance and, after other less-than-steller therapy experience, I feared the worst: 2 months of physical therapy that would be "only so helpful" and leave my ankle nowhere close to normal. Fast forward a month: I've "graduated" from ProEx and my ankle is like new. Stephanie, Sarah, Shanika, and the ProEx team were everything I wanted in a physical therapist. They were knowledgeable about my injury and anatomy, challenged me in an encouraging way, and generally were a blast to be around. I'll miss my Monday mornings and Thursday afternoons there as much for the training as for the fun times and conversations. They made me feel comfortable and confident from day one, and, most important, they helped me get results. If you need a physical therapist in Boston, look no further. These are the guys to go to. read more

I tried this place based on Yelp reviews, so I figured I should pay it forward and leave a review myself. I have been very pleased with my experience here. I have primarily worked with Stephanie, who is excellent. I have a few stubborn issues with my lower back and legs and she has done a great job of explaining what she is doing (both stretching and stretching). She is clearly very knowledgable, professional and personable. I can actually say that about all of the staff at Proex back bay and would highly recommend them. read more

Great place!! They are knowledgeable, detailed and kind. I hurt myself training for the Boston Marathon and they help me me back on my feet and running in time! They are in-network for many insurances companies, but beware if you need a referral, my doctor's office told me they were not "in-network" as it was not in their kickback network. Worth the call to your insurance hands down. read more

The entire staff here are so very friendly, competent and helpful thru the entire process from scheduling the first appointment to showing you how to do the excercises properly. I highly reccomend this PT practice. read more

Stephanie and Hannah developed a program for me that not only strengthened the muscles related to my knee injury, but also helped to engage and strengthen muscles in my core and back. I work as a professional ballroom dancer and was able to dance with little to no pain after about 6 weeks of visits. They've done an excellent job in giving me a program that was catered to my needs. Matt runs an excellent team, all the therapists, assistants, and even the receptionist have great pride in their work and patients are always welcomed with genuine kindness. read more

The staff are all amazing. They stand for getting to know you as a person and not just a patient - and keep true to their words. They remember you immediately by your first name, constantly show that they care deeply about your conditions and context, know what they are talking about (important!), and truly work with you (not just on you) to help make you better. Seriously - if you're looking for a PT - look no further. These guys are as awesome as it gets. read more

I was really disappointed. I have been to PT at multiple places over the years. This was not a good experience. Nice people, new facility, poor execution and experience. I had an assistant go through the motions each time. No expertise excerpt the first evaluation. Even after u made it clear I would do warmup and simple, unassisted exercises by coming early, or on the way in my gym around the corner, they still didn't do any more work that requires assistance. They didn't follow up on emails. My physician gave me a lot is other facilities and I've been very happy and improving once I switched over. read more

I came into ProEx with intense lower back pain and sports related knee pain. I left a few short weeks later feeling strong, flexible, and with the knowledge to keep my pain at bay. The atmosphere is pleasant and lighthearted, but everyone who works there knows their stuff. I worked mostly with Mouna, but I would trust anyone who works there to treat me. Great location right in Copley and flexible hours for those who work. Highly recommended! read more

The absolute best people. They help you get back on your feet and make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. They explain your injury and your treatment so well. I was actually kind of sad to be done. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have had a great experience with Matt and the team at ProEx Back Bay. I am recovering from surgery and during my recent move to the area I seriously aggravated my injury. ProEx got me in and quickly put me on a program to get me in much better place physically. I never wait to start a therapy session, the staff is friendly and professional and I feel a million times better than I did when I started. Matt explained to me in detail what was wrong and how we were going to fix it, taking detailed notes about my symptoms and continuously reevaluating my progress. I actually look forward to my sessions, not only because I can feel myself getting stronger, but because I enjoy the friendly environment that ProEx offers its clients. read more

I have had chronic upper back/shoulder pain for over ten years and have been to numerous massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. Last October I found ProX and Matt McManus -- my life has changed and it's friggin AMAZING. After a few weeks of exercises and Matt's soft tissue work, my pain started disappearing. Not only was he enthusiastic about helping me feel better, he was kind, knowledgable and incredibly dedicated. While I had a good deal of knowledge about my injuries, Matt provided invaluable explanations of what exactly was going wrong and created a program that would alleviate my pain, stabilize my muscles, and eventually strengthen my entire back. The program was comprehensible and accurate. The exercises made sense -- he'd never say, "Just go do this..." Matt explained in detail that each exercise affected xyz and the overall treatment was supposed to be slow and steady to ensure proper healing and strengthening. Matt and his associates (love you Liz, Shaneka, and Kelsey!) are prompt, fun, friendly, and truly care about their patients. ProX physical therapy's approach ensures improvement. Even upon "graduation" Matt designed a fitness plan that would help me maintain our work. As with any healing, fitness, or wellness program, diligence, proper exercise instruction, and complete understanding of treatment will eventually yield permanent results. I have never felt better and am proud to recommend ProX and Matt McManus for anyone looking for the best treatment out there. -Caitlyn T. read more

I've visited many professionals in the course of rehabbing a recurring injury, but my experience at ProEx was singular. I found Matt and Kelsey to be knowledgeable, personable and professional, and I appreciate their continued willingness to assist me even though I've now "graduated" to physical therapy on my own (with their printed directions). I also particularly appreciated ProEx's availability and flexibility with respect to scheduling appointments (and the nice check-in calls from Shanika when I was running late/sleeping in). Bottom line: Physical therapy is uncomfortable and trying, but ProEx makes it better. read more

I had a FANTASTIC experience with ProEx Physical Therapy. When I first called to make an appointment, Shaneka at the front desk was helpful in getting me an appointment quickly. i have seen Matt and Kelsey for treatment and both are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely sweet people. Matt took the time to really listen and understand my issue before recommending a treatment regimen and even upon learning that I would only be with ProEx for a short time because I was moving out of Boston, he took an active interest in my case and in my well-being. In addition to spending extra time with me when the appointment after mine canceled one time, he offered to follow up with my treatment via email after I was no longer an active patient. ProEx really made me feel like they cared about helping me get better and the friendly and supportive vibe of the place was truly great. i highly recommend ProEx - THANK YOU Matt, Kelsey and Shaneka! read more

ProEx was a great experience from the moment I met Shaneka at the front desk, to my evaluation and therapy plan with Stephanie, to my workout rehab with their Technician (Kelsey was the best). Stephanie Novello, DPT quickly diagnosed the cause of my tendonitis in my ankle (it was tightness in my calf---go figure), and put a plan in place for rehab and assured me I would be running in 1 month. I did not think that was possible with the pain I was experiencing, but 1 month later.....there I was running again. You will be in good hands with Stephanie at ProEx. read more

At ProEx physical therapy, the staff gives you the time, attention, and education that you need to start feeling better. My initial impression was that PT was simply a middle step on the road to seeing an orthopedic, and I thought why not just skip this part. But I'm so glad that I did not, because at ProEx I was educated on what my pain was, where it was coming from and how it could be fixed. It was so comforting knowing that the therapists here had the time to spend focusing on my issue and how to resolve it long term, but also the knowledge to discuss next steps if necessary. On top of that, the staff are extremely attentive and helpful and had my best interest in mind. I not only started to feel better, but I when I finished my time there, I left knowing how I was going to stay feeling my best. read more

Matt, and all of his staff were so incredibly helpful with my recovery after I injured my foot running and was on crutched this past summer. The first day I got there I was in terrible pain, I didn't want to do anything, and everything hurt. But by the second week in, I was looking forward to my appointments and getting all of the help to get back to normal. The way everyone is so nice to each other and all of the young people who work there are so smart and listen and modified things based on what worked for me. Kelsey was the greatest, and I hope she ends up working there full time after she graduates! I would consistently call ProEx to talk to Matt if I ever had a problem or pain, before calling the doctor because he was so easy to get ahold of and would give good advice and help me know the difference between discomfort and pain. I learned a lot about how to do so many things differently, that didn't even have to do with my injury. I highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone with any problem, as they are really the best. They are the most flexible with timing you'll find in Boston and the location is prime, right next to the t station. I will always send my friends and family to Matt! Keep up the great work ProEx! read more

After a year and a half of lower back pain due to a herniated disk - Matt was the first physical therapist I saw who was actually able to help. Can't praise everyone at this office enough! read more

Pro Ex is excellent - very thoughtful and informative. I highly recommend Matt and his team!

After an over-zealous attempt at the splits during a yoga class, I heard a 3-pop clicking sound in my right glute/ upper hamstring area. After trying to work through it and self diagnose myself, I seemed to be getting nowhere. I booked an appointment with Matt McManus PT and he was just wonderful. After a couple of questions and quick stretches, he was able to diagnose me with sciatica and proceeded to answer all the questions I had about it- and this was only during our initial consultation. Matt was very empathetic and his attitude gave me hope that I would be able to recover from this. He was a (legitimate) source of much needed motivation, to say the least. I wish I could continue attending this location but unfortunately it is too far from where I live. So all in all, lovely staff, extremely clean equipment and studio and from what I saw during my time there- proven results. read more
