Select Physical Therapy - Hyannis 489 Bearses Way, Barnstable, MA 02601

"Healing begins with a knowledgeable therapist who sees you in your broken form and knows the steps necessary to recovery; someone who can challenge you to be the best form of yourself"

"Care and Quality I have been to Select twice, once for each knee. The therapist didn't just make sure the knee was rehabbed. She wanted to address all causes of immobility. With attention to hip and lower back, my gait became more natural. I gained several degrees of range of motion in both knees. I became more mobile than before the accidents."

"Being 86 has its challenges. Early this year, I was treated successfully for cardiac issues, reducing the activity in an already sedentary lifestyle. In September, I fell and fractured a leg bone. The fracture was small and quickly healed, but two problems remained. Both hips complained about the asymmetrical loads placed on them by the knee treatment. The other problem was one of confidence: I knew exactly how the fall happened, but I didn't know why. At Select Physical Therapy in Hyannis, Crystal MacCharles listened carefully to my story, watched intently as I walked and did simple exercises, and formed a detailed understanding of which of my muscles needed strengthening. She explained to this old engineer what had to be done and why. I felt that we were in a partnership, working together, each doing our parts to build up the muscles. She also pointed out how certain muscles affect the formerly instinctive act of balancing, and in effect taught me how to balance with confidence again. That covered both the physical and cognitive issues, which I think is critical."

"After complete satisfaction at the hands(literally) of Crystal MacCharles following a double ankle injury , I returned in December to have a knee problem addressed. By second visit, I was well into turning my problem around."

"Crystal did an awesome job working with me and explaining what was going on with my injury. She was very attentive and answered all my questions and made suggestions for other things I could do at home to heal faster."
