I fell off a set of stairs in early 2025 which resulted in a high-impact tibial "Schatzker 6…read morefracture." Luckily I did not need surgery. Eight weeks later the full leg cast was removed and my leg came out like a noodle. I was nervous if I'd ever walk normally again. I was matched with Matt O'Rourke at St Jos rehab (Nashua NH) and he was the PERFECT fit for my severe injury!! He teaches PT at Simmons College in Boston and REALLY knows his stuff!! He is a great listener, observer and detail oriented with action plans. He gave me targeted exercise-homework after each visit which accelerated my progress. I entered PT in a wheelchair and four months later, I was able to fly to Europe (lots of walking) and a month after that, get on a boat to a remote Maine island for lots of hiking -- oh, and I was able to walk/hike 10K-16K steps a day on the trips. Matt O'Rourke is THE BEST PT in Nashua!! Thank you, Matt!!

I entered St Joe's for my first PT session with some trepidation because of the war stories I had…read moreheard about pain and suffering. Those fears were quickly replaced when I met the smiling receptionists who welcomed me to their facility followed quickly by meeting Chris Forbes who was to be my therapist for the next five weeks. Chris was great! I went to my first session using a walker followed in a week by a cane and then in three weeks using nothing for external support. Chris was the consummate professional. challenging me to do more but never more than I could do. he was supportive and understanding . My fears of what rehab could be were quickly displaced and the results spoke for themselves. I would highly recommend St Joe's for your rehab needs. thank you Chris - you made rehab "almost " enjoyable!
