Manual Physical Therapy

Hands-On Care for Better Movement

Pain, stiffness and restricted movement can make everyday activities, exercise and sports more difficult. At Flight, we provide personalized manual physical therapy designed to reduce discomfort, improve mobility and support lasting progress. Our hands-on approach helps athletes, active adults and others move with greater comfort, confidence and control. We proudly serve Waltham, Newton, Weston, Watertown, Belmont and surrounding Greater Boston communities.

Manual Therapy Services That Support Recovery

We combine manual techniques with targeted exercise, education and progressive strengthening to improve function, support recovery and help you maintain progress. Depending on your needs, treatment may include joint mobilization and manipulation as well as dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage and more. These hands-on treatments can help address muscle tension, joint stiffness, limited mobility and other movement restrictions.

Personalized Treatment for Lasting Results

No two patients experience pain or movement limitations in the exact same way. That is why we carefully evaluate your symptoms, strength, mobility and goals before crafting your personalized treatment plan. Our cash-based model gives us the flexibility to address multiple areas when appropriate and determine the timing, length and focus of your care based on your progress – rather than limits set by insurance companies.

I’ve been a Flight member (gym) for two years and recently injured my calf training for a marathon. Erica fit me in right away for an evaluation and started a treatment plan to hopefully be recovered enough to still run. She’s professional, thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. You’ll be in great hands if you a PT!

I first met Erica while recovering from a major knee surgery. Throughout the process, Erica was patient, listened and answered all my questions. Erica is not only very knowledgeable, she's also considerate and knows what questions to ask, when to push you and when to tell you to slow down. With her help, I've been able to recover from 2 major knee surgeries and get back to being active and competing in the sport I love. I could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a PT.

PT consult was thorough and professional! Erica took the time to explain what’s going on with my ailments/injuries which gave me more clarity. Additionally she provided actionable solutions/exercises to help with my pain.

I have the good fortune to have Erica as my PT. Not only is she a bright and highly skilled clinician, she is compassionate and enthusiastic towards her patients. This makes her exceptional. She has an uncanny ability to make me feel listened to and understood. This is a critically important part of the treatment process for me. Erica is always able to provide a clear and well defined diagnosis and treatment plan. At times I have been resistant to the need to temporarily modify my activity level and she has met this with exceptional understanding and patience. She responds with clear explanations and we work together to find a solution. I value her opinions and have great respect for her volume of knowledge. I continue to benefit from her encouragement and confidence which buoys me up. Most importantly, I have seen a great improvement in my ability to do the activities that I want to do with a lot less pain. I thank her for that and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been working with Erica for over a year and am quite happy with the results. Her background in both fitness and physical therapy have been a game changer in my ability to progress through weights and strength training. I've been impressed with her adaptability and creativity in blending her knowledge of fitness and PT each week when faced with whatever issue I have that week. I highly recommend Erica!
