Dance Medicine is a program specifically designed to provide a thorough assessment of a dancer. Technical and creative development is addressed through a wide range of stylistic classes, but often overlooks the biomechanical constraints that may predispose the dancer to injury. South County PT has brought together a team of trained Dance Therapists, Certified Athletic Trainers, Massage Therapists and Orthopedic Doctors, who will work together to ensure a long, healthy dance experience. We work closely with the dancer and dance instructor assisting them as they continue to develop and mature both physically and technically to reach optimal control through dynamic movements while decreasing risk of injury. We work with all styles of dance.

Golf performance, for high handicappers and scratch golfers alike, is directly related to physical health. Nagging injuries, weakness and poor flexibility can reduce performance, limit improvement and restrict participation. South County PT's Titleist Performance Institute certified staff provides expert care to the injured golfer. In addition to prevention and education, our staff is ready to get the injured or post-surgical golfer back to the course. We specialize in the rehabilitation of golfers who have undergone total joint replacement.

Licensed massage therapists are available at our Westborough office. Massage rates are $65/hr, $35/30min. If the Westboro location is not convenient please see our "Trusted Partners".

The Auburn location has a stand-alone therapy pool. It measures 8 ft. x 10 ft. and is kept at an ideal temperature of 94.5°. The pool is staffed with Physical Therapists, and Physical Therapy Assistants who specialize in Aquatic PT and utilize an array of water based techniques to help you recover from injury. The pool at Auburn also has one of the area's only underwater treadmills.

Each location has therapists trained to identify the need for custom or non-custom orthotics. Current clients may have an orthotic assessment without an assessment charge former clients or new clients pay $40.00 for an half hour orthotic assessement which includes complete biomechanical gait analysis and recommendation for orthotics. Our primary custom orthotic is fabricated by Sole Supports and costs $270.00. In addition to custom orthotics we also carry semi-custom orthotics using the Quadrastep system and non-custom orthotics such as Spenco and BFO.

Back injuries and injuries related to repetitive stress are the leading causes of lost work days.

Companies utilizing this program have reported a 72% decrease in OSHA-reported lost work days. This unique program goes beyond simply reviewing proper lifting techniques and proper office equipment. Our comprehensive 4-step program includes work risk analysis, management training, employee training and ergo-team training.
