Fitzgerald Physical Therapy

Fitzgerald Physical Therapy’s Melrose clinic provides sports medicine and orthopedic physical therapy, diagnosing, treating and managing injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The practice is physical therapist owned and operated, and its clinicians use evidence-based care to examine and treat conditions that limit how the body moves and functions in daily life. It also offers prehab therapy that prepares patients before surgery, with the aim of a smoother recovery afterward.

The Melrose clinic recently moved across the street into a space of more than 5,000 square feet, with expanded treatment and training areas. The practice has served the area north of Boston for around two decades and has added tools such as VALD force plates for measuring strength and movement. Patient stories include a Melrose Run Club runner who returned from plantar fasciitis and a triathlete who recovered from a broken ankle in time to race.
