OUR APPROACH
At Off-SEASON Sports & Physical Therapy, our approach to your care goes beyond basic symptom management. During the initial evaluation, we focus on identifying the root cause of your pain and dysfunction, to get you back to function sooner. We conduct a thorough assessment, including your exercise, work, and play activities to gain insight into injury, history, future goals, and long term prevention.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
We delve into the details of your injury or pain, considering overall strength, movement patterns, flexibility, posture, coordination, core strength, and muscle balance.
Pain Management:
We initiate treatment by addressing acute, limiting issues such as pain, swelling, and inflammation. Our skilled practitioners employ various manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Modalities:
OFF-SEASON utilizes cutting-edge modalities, including cold laser therapy, electrical stimulation, shockwave therapy, dry needling, cupping, and biofeedback to reduce pain and inflammation and promote return to function.
Education on Posture and Flexibility:
Treatment includes educating you on posture, flexibility, and balancing the body. As acute symptoms subside, we progress individualized exercise programs.
Muscle Strengthening & Neuromuscular Re-Education:
By isolating and targeting key muscles in need of strengthening, we design personalized exercise programs to address specific weaknesses. This includes the implementation of neuromuscular re-education to correct movement pattern dysfunctions and compensations that result from or contribute to dysfunction.
Our Mission Statement:
Our mission at OFF-SEASON Sports & Physical Therapy is to be an integral part of your journey toward positive health and wellness. Guided by our core values of excellence, integrity, and community outreach, we are dedicated to addressing each patient’s unique needs. Our approach is grounded in Applied Functional Science (AFS), providing dedicated one-on-one time and a commitment to excellent customer service. We create an environment that takes your concerns seriously while infusing friendliness and fun into the healing process.
History
Founded in September 2010 by Dr. Lawrence Bourdeau, OFF-SEASON Sports & Physical Therapy emerged from a vision to create a patient-centered experience. Dr. Bourdeau, after collaborating in two outpatient clinics, sought to redefine the standard of care for patients. Unlike traditional sports medicine facilities focused on the facility itself, OFF-SEASON was conceived as a “patient-centered” practice with abundant resources available from the moment a patient walks through the door.
Distinguishing itself as one of the most innovative and well-equipped sports medicine clinics in Massachusetts, OFF-SEASON integrates state-of-the-art equipment, a highly trained staff, and clinical orthopedic specialists in sports medicine. Our comprehensive rehabilitation and performance programs stand out in the Allied health industry. OFF-SEASON is not only a Physical Therapy center but also a multi-disciplinary practice offering sports chiropractic, massage therapy, personal/sports performance training, custom orthotics, and dry needling – an uncommon blend in the field.
The success of OFF-SEASON is rooted in close communication with doctors and hands-on interaction with patients. We operate as a resource center for medical professionals, patients, and the public. Our commitment to excellence, patient-centered care, and a holistic approach to health and wellness continues to drive OFF-SEASON Sports & Physical Therapy as a leader in the field.
