World Class Massage Therapy

Welcome to OFF-SEASON Sports and Physical Therapy, where our mission is to be an integral part of your journey toward positive health and wellness. Our core values of Excellence, Integrity, and Community Outreach guide us in providing dedicated one-on-one time and a commitment to excellent customer service. We strive to create an environment that takes your concerns seriously while infusing friendliness and fun into the healing process.

Our journey began in September 2010, when Dr. Lawrence Bourdeau founded OFF-SEASON Sports and Physical Therapy with a vision to create a patient-centered experience. 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. Today, we are proud to be one of the most innovative and well-equipped sports medicine clinics in Massachusetts.

Our Approach

At OFF-SEASON Sports and Physical Therapy, our approach goes beyond symptom management. During the initial evaluation, our focus is on identifying the root cause of pain or dysfunction. We conduct a thorough assessment, examining the patient's exercise, work, and play activities to gain insights into their injury history. Our comprehensive evaluation includes an examination of the patient's overall strength, flexibility, posture, and muscle balance.

Our treatment begins with addressing acute issues such as pain, swelling, and inflammation. Our skilled practitioners employ various manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility. We utilize cutting-edge modalities, including cold laser therapy, electrical stimulation, traction, ultrasound, phono/iontophoresis, and biofeedback, to provide relief from pain and inflammation.

At OFF-SEASON, we believe in the importance of education on posture and flexibility. As pain and inflammation subside, we progress to an individualized exercise program. Our muscle strengthening approach emphasizes the isolation of muscles in need of strengthening, addressing specific weaknesses. We implement neuromuscular re-education to correct muscle imbalances and movement pattern dysfunctions that may result from compensation due to the injury.
