Beantown Physio

First lets talk about the practice for brookline this is a great location its right at the brookhouse where there is free easy street parking and paid garage parking. All the staff nice and attentive. They have a nice waiting area and a polite receptionist. The care is excellent. I highly recommend them.

I went to Paul for spine rehab, and was rather disappointed. He had come recommended, but I found that the facility was lacking in equipment and the program he had me on was very weak. Also, at each visit all they did was slap a heat pack on me and then have me do the matt/​table exercises that they had already given me to do at home. With both TV’s on in there, the staff also seemed very distracted. I could not see why I was paying a copay and using a visit just to do what I was doing every morning?
I will say thay everyone there is very nice, and I think much of their limitation as a facility is due to lack of space, equipment, and staff

I just wanted to pass along a note regarding my experiences at Beantown Physio, I came to about 18 – 20 sessions over the past 4 – 5
months, and the experience was nothing but positive. Specifically
Catlin and Elizabeth, those two were fantastic, I always enjoyed the almost 1.5 hour sessions, my back got better and better as each
session and each week passed. I never felt rushed (obviously by my
long sessions)
overall it was a very pleasant experience and I recommend this PT facility.
Easy to park, plenty of parking on the street.

I have gone to a number of physical therapy places in the past and as far as the overall quality of the treatment, they are OK. If solely basing my review on that, they would get 3 stars. Unfortunately scheduling appointments is difficult and they have a $ 30 nonrefundable fee for a cancelation less then 24 hours in advance. I find that policy ridiculous and other PT places don’t have that.
They also refused to see me, after about 10 visits. My auto insurance would not promise them to cover a certain amount and they did not believe that I would or could for some reason. They refused to schedule an appointment and I ended up going to a different place as a result.

I have visited Paul Ghostlaw and Beantown Physio for several sports related injuries over the years and always been pleased with the results. Paul and his team are very diligent. They push and encourage you, within reason, and are flexible about scheduling your visits. This 40-​something runner and swimmer recommends them highly.

I went to see Paul after surgery to fix a hip labrum tear last March and after requesting to be seen specifically by him, I saw him for each and every one of my many sessions over the next 9 months (sometimes twice weekly). Paul is knowledgable, encouraging, and a great physical therapist and I owe so much of my recovery to him. With Paul’s help I had the confidence to keep working towards my recovery.
I have friends who have gone to PT offices where they are over booked and you never see the same therapist twice. That’s not the case here — Paul and his staff know your treatment and your progress since they work with you consistently.
I truly don’t think I could have progressed in the way that I did with my hip if it weren’t for Paul — he really knows what he is doing and cares about his patients. And, he has a great office environment. After recovering on the couch for many weeks, I looked forward to my sessions where I could actually see progress with my hip and strength! Paul’s assistants are all very nice people, and were great to deal with when I had to make last minute appointment changes, or needed help dealing with insurance.
My only qualm is that parking is limited outside the building, which is also a residential building. There was rarely street parking, so I’d park in the lot across the street, which was supposedly limited to people using the park. I never had a problem leaving my car there, though.
Paul is by far one of the best health or medical professionals I have ever worked with, and while I hope I never have to do physical therapy again, if I do, it’ll be at Beantown Physio.

Just finished up my last session of therapy at Beantown Physio. This was my second go-​round of meniscus surgery. Things went so well for me after I had surgery on my right knee at Beantown Physio that I knew exactly where I was going after surgery on my left knee. From dealing with my ever changing schedule to providing prompt courteous attention. Paul and his entire staff have the ability of taking what should be an arduous hour long session and turning it into catching up on the local 9 or any current event. I HIGHLY recommend Beantown Physio for any of your physical therapy needs.
