Girl Fit Physical Therapy

Girl Fit Physical Therapy is a women-owned practice in Newton that specializes in physical therapy for female athletes. It was founded to fill a gap in care for adolescent girls and now treats girls and women of all ages. Evaluations and treatment address strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, pain and movement, with the aim of helping patients recover from injury and understand why injuries happen and how to prevent them.

Every therapist holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and follows evidence-based, individualized care, working as a team to treat the whole patient. Clinicians bring backgrounds in dance, distance running, college soccer and elite sports medicine, including work with a professional basketball team. Beyond one-on-one treatment, the practice offers wellness visits for people who are injury-free or finished with therapy, and group fitness classes that build strength in a social setting.
