Are You Tired Of Being In Pain?

Since 2008 Step Ahead PT has been providing exceptional services focusing on orthopedic and sports related injuries. What makes us unique is our philosophy of care. We provide a holistic comprehensive approach to determining and addressing the source of your pain rather than simply treating the symptoms. We are not a physical therapy factory. We are a healing center where we work individually with you to reduce your pain and help you return to your normal level of active living as quickly as possible. We believe that sufficient time is needed to customize your treatments, deliver them, and ensure their effectiveness. All of our appointments run between 45 and 60 minutes and focus primarily on hands-on care and corrective exercises.

We sincerely believe that the road to optimal health is being proactive and attentive to your sense of wellbeing. We will take the time to provide you with personalized care that is unique in today’s hectic world. We will help you now, and build a solid relationship that you can turn to in the future should the need arise.

How will physical therapy aid in pain relief?

Founded in 2008, Step Ahead Physical Therapy is working to eliminate pain, one patient at a time. We are a physical therapist owned and operated clinic offering customized one-on-one treatment.

Our modern facilities feature all the latest modalities and our licensed, experienced physical therapists are trained in all up-to-date evidence-based therapies.

Our therapy is designed to get you feeling like your old self again. We take the time to do a thorough examination in order to detect problems that will allow us to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is right for you. Your body will recover quicker and heal faster. We provide One-On-One 45-60 minute treatment sessions with a focus on hands on care and corrective exercises resulting in the achievement of functional independence. We have licensed Physical Therapists who can work on a range of injuries.

There is something unique and different happening here at Step Ahead Physical Therapy not found at many Outpatient Physical Therapy Clinics.

One-On-One Care:

At Step Ahead Physical Therapy, only physical therapists care for patients. There are no aides or “techs” assisting with patient treatment. At our facilities, patients receive expert, One-On-One attention everyday.

Our therapists can take the extra time to understand what is happening with their patients, to explore new treatment options and to consult with colleagues. Learning is facilitated and better care is the result. Our therapists are not running hard to meet some production quota. Our therapists are focused on each patient, focused on offering the best care possible.

We never “double-book” appointments. We believe that sufficient time is needed to customize your treatments, deliver them, and ensure their effectiveness. All of our appointments run between 45 and 60 minutes and focus primarily on hands-on care and corrective exercises.

We are not a physical therapy factory. We are a healing center where we work individually with you to reduce your pain and help you return to your normal level of active living as quickly as possible.

We sincerely believe that the road to optimal health is being proactive and attentive to your sense of wellbeing. We will take the time to provide you with personalized care that is unique in today’s hectic world.

OUR SUCCESS STORIES

  • "I am so impressed with Step Ahead PT in general and Becky specifically. These guy treat you for a full hour for the same price (unlike 30 minutes at other place, sometimes even 2 people in those 30 minutes). They had informed me that my tendonitis will take 2-2.5 months and that is exactly the amount of time it took for me to start feeling better. I absolutely love it and will be coming here for all my PT needs."
    Spandan S.
  • "Andy is the BEST! I have had chronic hamstring issues for decades. It affected my knee and hip as well. I have tried different therapies for many years and I had pretty much given up thinking I will never be able to jog again or be without pain. I recently had knee surgery and then through a friend I was lucky enough to find Andy!"
    T.H.
  • "Step Ahead PT in Marblehead is a wonderful facility with expert therapy. I have been going there off and on for years for back and hip ailments. Andy is the best. He has over 20 years experience with therapy and is always right on with his observations, evaluations, course of therapy and at home routines that will help and cure your aches and pains."
    Jacqueline R.
  • "I recently underwent knee replacement surgery. Andy has been extremely helpful with my rehabilitation. His expertise has enabled me to heal much quicker than I had expected. I most definitely recommend Andy for any Physical Therapy that one requires."
    Jackie P.
  • "Andy draws on his vast experience and knowledge, which includes cutting edge techniques. He is personable, has a great bedside manner, and he truly cares and takes pride in his work. I always looked forward to my PT sessions, which have recently ended. I am now recovered from acute on chronic neck and shoulder issues, and my quality of life is better than I hoped for. Thank you, Andy!"
    Eric F.
  • "I have seen Andy for several different injuries throughout my high school and collegiate basketball career. He has helped me get through every single one— from back pain/stress fracture/spasms, chronic ankle pain, hip flexor issues, and a broken ankle. With a combination of hands-on treatment, to providing exercises and protocols to follow, to helping you find the perfect way to smoothly get back to activity, Andy will successfully help you get back to feeling 100% and back to your daily activities."
    Emily F.
  • "I’ve spent several decades in front of a computer, which can cause many issues. I’ve been working with Andy for a couple of years now, and his PT has really helped me reduce the pain and discomfort in my shoulders/back and hands. He’s a kind person too, and that goes a long way in this crazy, fast-paced world!"
    Carrie T.
  • "This is the best PT practice I’ve experienced. The therapists are hands on and completely focused on outcome. The environment is very personalized so if your tired of being treated as simply a number or if you are looking to return to or continue an active lifestyle, you need to come see Andy and his team."
    Al Wilson
  • "I discovered Step Ahead PT through a yelp recommendation, and have not been disappointed. I was in a serious car accident in November, and by January I was back to my intense workouts under the guidance of Andy (Owner of Step Ahead). Each session was tailored specifically for me and around getting me back into my pre- accident strength."
