  I got a bad ankle injury while at work and this was my first time ever needing to do PT. Katie and Lexi were both amazing to work with and they made the whole process as easy and smooth as possible. I would highly recommend here!

  I just “graduated” from PT thanks to the staff at Boston Sports Medicine in Wilmington. In particular, I worked with Bonnie, Katie and Lexi, who were not only amazing physical therapists but they made the sessions fun and welcoming. Their expertise, knowledge and experience put me on the road to recovery. Today, I’m feeling stronger than even before my sports injury.

  I am forever grateful to Katy, Bonnie and Lexi for their time and dedication to my recovery. They provided a great, safe environment for me to not just work on my injuries but also feel like part of a team.

This has to be the only medical experience I actively looked forward to every week :), and it’s testimony to the quality of care provided.

Thank you!

  Katie was super helpful and knowledgeable, helping my knee pain disappear just in time for snowboarding season. Excellent app with exercises which are easy to follow and are consistent with what we did during the session.

  I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with receiving physical therapy services at Boston Sports Medicine Physical Therapy in Wilmington.
All 3 of the ladies I've received services from here are really wonderful. Katie, a PT, is clearly very knowledgeable, and I feel that she has gone "above and beyond" by encouraging me to get back into running. She has been guiding me specifically as to how to increase my running without bothering or re-injuring my hips. Bonnie, a PT assistant, is a former dancer like me. I love how she uses ballet terms to explain specific exercises to me. She clearly understands the body of a dancer/former dancer, which adds to her expertise in working with individuals like me. Lexie, who is newer to the practice, has been a pleasure to get to know. She comes from a personal training and dance background, which seems to make her a perfect fit for this practice. All of these ladies are very personable and friendly, which makes coming here to do hard work a lot easier! They all clearly care about me/their clients by the way they always ask me how I am feeling, in terms of my hip issues/progress of recovery. lt is obvious that they have created a PT program that is individualized to me (with my specific hip issues and specific background). They really are WAY better than the PT clinic I went to before. They really are the best!!

  I have had a positive experience with Boston Sports Medicine PT in Wilmington, I have been working with Michelle P. since I began my PT and she is very kind, knowledgeable and compassionate. She has got me through my knee replacement and leading up to it preparing me for it and I couldn't be more pleased.  Atmosphere there is welcoming and never over crowded and  I get the best workouts and  the attention I really need. Highly recommend Boston Sports Medicine PT and it staff.

  BSM is a first rate Physical Therapy operation.  My PT "Michelle P." is a highly skilled PT and the benefits I experienced after a few sessions is amazing.  I would recommend BSM to any family memebers or friends.

There are times in life when, unfortunately, you need care from outside professionals to protect your health and ensure that you can recover from an injury or chronic condition. In such instances, physical therapy may be the perfect way of treating what ails you. Physical therapy can provide patients with the necessary rehabilitation services, helping them find pain relief and regain function.

If you are looking for the best physical therapy in Wilmington, look no further than Boston Sports Medicine. At Boston Sports Medicine, we have the clinical expertise and physical therapists that will allow you to achieve your goals and recover your health.

What Is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a specific form of medicine – practiced by trained and certified physical therapists – that help a patient heal from an injury, accident, or otherwise chronic condition. Physical therapy usually involves repeated exercises that help an individual rehab from whatever problem they have.

The goals of physical therapy will vary from patient to patient, but there is no question that the end goal usually centers around pain or function. Specifically, physical therapy rehab is meant to help a patient:

Reduce or eliminate pain.
Lower the chance of suffering another injury by strengthening muscles and improving flexibility.
Restore independence and allow them to better complete activities related to work or daily functions.
Help a patient play professional sports again.

While patients at home do many physical therapy activities, physical therapy is prescribed to patients by a trained physical therapist. A physical therapist is a medically-trained expert who can work with patients to develop a customized program to address their needs and help them fulfill their goals. At Boston Sports Medicine, we’re deeply proud of our expert physical therapy staff, who are trained in various physical therapy services and can provide patients with the specific health services they need.

What Are Some Examples of Physical Therapy?

Examples of physical therapy rehab services include:

Manual therapy, in which a physical therapist manipulates a patient, stretching or moving an area that is injured or is in pain. Manual therapy can reduce stiffness and pain while helping patients relearn how to use a sore or injured body part. Manual therapy will likely also involve teaching a patient exercises that they can then practice on their own.
Massage therapy, in which a professional physical therapist will apply massage techniques that relieve a patient’s pain, restore function, and reduce inflammation. This specific massage treatment isn’t only meant to feel good, like a commercially available massage, but to heal.
Pediatric physical therapy, which involves deploying physical therapy techniques specifically for children, helping them overcome injuries or genetic conditions. This type of physical therapy is often viewed as separate from other forms, as children or teenagers have growing and changing bodies that require specific techniques.
Acupuncture and dry needling services, which involve the specific application of very thin needles designed to stimulate nerves and promote healing in the body.

Physical therapy is used for various services, including accident recovery or healing from sports-related injuries. It’s also worth noting that you don’t have to have a major injury to need physical therapy: Simply suffering from extensive pain that won’t go away may be enough. If you aren’t sure about if you need physical therapy or rehab services, it’s worth speaking with a medical professional to see if you won’t benefit from therapy services.

Needing physical therapy for nagging or chronic injuries is common for people who play sports like football or cycling. In these instances, physical therapy may help you engage in specific therapeutic services that can rehabilitate you. At Boston Sports Medicine, we provide an array of physical therapy services in Wilmington. As such, we can work with you to provide the services you need.

What Is Sports Medicine?

As the name implies, sports medicine is a broad field designed to help athletes stay healthy and recover from injuries. It’s not a specific field of medicine in the same way that pediatrics or geriatrics is, but rather a field of medical specialists who have developed a specialty in a certain area. Sports medicine practitioners often get specific training in broad-based areas that focus on sports. They also often focus on athletes who play a specific sport. They may also become experts at treating a certain subset of athletes, like those of a specific age or gender.

Since much of sports medicine’s focus is preventative, it often deals with creating exercise and nutritional programs that focus on stopping an athlete from getting hurt in the first place. Sports medicine is a vast, all-encompassing field in sports performance. Therefore, physical therapy can be an important part of sports medicine, particularly if you have a physical therapist trained specifically in sports medicine and working with athletes.
