Joint Ventures Physical Therapy and Fitness - Kendall Square

I worked with Erin for four months to rehabilitate a fractured ankle and return to sport. Coming into physical therapy I was a bit skeptical of how much I needed it thinking I would return to the field much sooner than I did but Erin really showed me the benefits. Every single appointment she was ready with a host of challenging and incredibly beneficial exercises. Most importantly I think she did a great job balancing the psychological and physical aspects of recovery allowing me to challenge myself to regain confidence post-injury. I could not recommend Erin more.

Ive gone to Joint Ventures at Kendall several times over the past few years for different issues and always had a great experience. Started in the fall this time with Erin Ward for knee issues and having worked through that continued to get guidance on my overall weekly exercise routines. Erin was fantastic and worked with me to really improve my range of exercises so that I would be less likely to have injuries in the future.

If youre near Kendall Joint Ventures on Third St is an absolute no-brainer when it comes to PT. Having shattered my clavicle I worked with Jack for many months for PT rehab and he was simply outstanding.First in incredible contrast I originally tried a PT place that is literally across the street from me its a national chain with three initials. To my dismay it was like a loud factory gym setup with an open floor plan. I wasnt into the whole online gaming of PT per task completion and I felt like a number. After one intake exam I left.In contrast JV was relaxing welcoming quiet private treatment rooms and each session was always one-on-one attention for 40 minutes. For starters not only did I need and receive the specific muscletendon massage required for the injury for much of my time there Jack always put me through my paces in conjunction with my surgeons directions it was originally a lot of stretching and eventually graduating to weight bearing exercises. I really felt like Jack was personable and kind and we even had some fun working together. I couldnt have asked for anyone better to help me through this journey and will certainly to head back there after my follow-up surgery later this year. JV works with BodyScapes Fitness which is great as we used their exercise equipment for weight bearing exercises. Plus Jack helped me set up a pre-hab program with an online portal to continue my PT once I graduated with weight lifting and stretching exercises to continue at home before the upcoming surgery.Additionally both Mel and Caroline were aces at the front desk and always went above and beyond for me. They always helped me get set up with appointments managed rare cancellations due to illness and made everything insurance co-pays etc. a breeze. They both were both incredibly kind engaging and always brought a badly needed smile to my face before each session which is huge. When youre in pain post-injury PT can be daunting and isnt fun. Plus it takes a lot of at-home effort in between sessions to recover. As Jack Mel and Caroline were a team who cheered me on every step of the way thats the kind of support that goes above and beyond and Im genuinely grateful here.So if youre looking for PT dont give it another thought. Just get Mel and Caroline on the phone and book your first appointment at Joint Ventures

I had the pleasure of working with Erin for about 3 months on a meniscus and MCL injury. She worked with me to identify my goals and create a roadmap to be back trainingcompeting on an ambitious timeline. The progress I saw during our time together was amazing- a nagging injury that had been stagnating for months showed incredible improvement under her guidance. While we were working together I had an additional MCL injury outside of PT- Erin was able to pivot and change the treatment plan to accommodate new developments. Her professionalism and commitment to my progress made a world of difference and I always enjoyed our sessions despite the circumstances that brought me there. Since my treatment with JV I have gone back to my previous training schedule and have learned a lot about preventative work in the gym that I have been able to work into my workout plans. Highly recommend- Thank you Erin

Came to PT for a torn Calf muscle at least 6 times.They were always on time all the machines and beds were clean and my therapist was super nice and professional her name is Eavie she was the best

I came to PT for severe shoulder pain from working out and was assigned to Erin Ward for physical therapy. Shortly after starting PT with Erin I was able to again sleep at night After 4 months I had completed PT and was again back in the gym and also able to perform daily tasks such as picking up my baby driving and get dressed with minimal pain.With each session I could feel myself get better and gained more strength and range of motion that I was not able to previously achieve. My time with Erin ended and I left with knowledge such as proper form and exercisesstretches that I still perform daily and will continue to do so.Overall PT with Erin was an amazing experience and would recommend her for anyone looking to get fixed up and and be confident that youll be leave there feeling fresh.The staff at the Kendall location were also very helpful assisting with getting signed up quick to answer any questions I had and even reached out when there was a cancellation with open slots available.

I spent roughly 8 months receiving treatment from Brittney B. after a severe ankle injury requiring surgery and cannot say enough great things. Prior to my injury I was very active lifting weights playing basketball skiing and was nervous about my ability to continue those activities after my injury. The 11 care from Brittney was phenomenal she always willing to be flexible with the intensity of the rehab I needed on my ankle and knew when to push me a bit vs. lay off and take it easier. She always had a wide variety of exercises to help me rebuild every part of the mobility I need to get back to the highly active lifestyle I like to live. She always was willing to provide me personalized workouts and stretches to do outside of visits which were extremely helpful.Outside of the obvious PT expertise Brittney is also a phenomenal person we always had plenty to chat about and she is very friendly. Especially early in treatment when I had just gotten off crutches she was always optimistic about the recovery I could make. I am super appreciative for all of her time and effort over 40 visits and would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking treatment.

I had a fantastic experience with Joint Ventures and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking physical therapy. I worked with Itua Eghe for several months after a neck injury. He developed a personalized care plan based on the activities and hobbies that are meaningful to me. Prior to physical therapy I was unable to sleep due to neck pain and could not even carry groceries. After a couple months with Itua my neck and shoulder is so much stronger and my pain is gone. The exercises Itua and I worked on had a huge impact on my health. He is also super friendly and supportive all the employees I interacted with at Joint Ventures were very nice and helpful.

I wanted to share the amazing experience I had at Joint Ventures with my physical therapist Jessica Simbro. I came to physical therapy after a knee injury runners knee specifically Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome that I got while playing volleyball. I am 26 years old and relatively athletic ran 2 half marathons so I really wanted to get back to exercise without feeling pain. After a couple of sessions with Jessica which were focused on increasing my muscle strength and stability in legs and glutes broadly I started feeling much better. Jessica gave me a personalized exercise home plan that gradually increased in intensity and I started getting toned gaining muscle and feeling amazing. It felt like Jessica was not only my physical therapist but also a personal trainer as she really took the time to align my training routine with what I wanted to achieve on the health and aesthetic level. Now my knee pain is almost gone I work out every other day and I feel more toned than everTo add to the above Jessica is an amazing person. She is very caring and funny we always have lovely chats while I come to PT. When I got sick she sent me nice messages checking in. She is also very inspiring and encouraging making exercise fun rather than a choreAll in all I absolutely love Jessica Simbro at Joint Ventures and I highly recommend her as a physical therapist If it was not for Jessica I would probably still be sad and had pain in my knee D

Erin is very friendly and super knowledgeable she treated me for bilateral knew pain. She was very attentive the therapy session and home program was immediately effective.Erin thank for your service and thanks for being so flexible with my schedule.I would definitely use their service again.Vinda
