Step Ahead Physical Therapy

"I went to Step Ahead for knee pain following a hiking trip. I'd never been to PT before and didn't know what to expect, but Step Ahead (and Karen, who I worked with there) was fantastic. Karen made me feel super comfortable, gave me lots of different things to try, and really listened when I talked about what was working and wasn't. She was also flexible with scheduling so that we could work around my work and school schedules. I'd definitely recommend Step Ahead to others!"

"Karen Deane is an amazing PT! I've worked with her in the Cambridge office for years on various symptoms stemming from a chronic autoimmune disease. Her combination of exercises, massage, and manual therapy techniques has helped me rebound from countless injuries. She pays special attention to what the body tells her, listening and adjusting treatment accordingly instead of using cookie-cutter regimens. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a PT willing to customize a rehab program for their unique needs."

"I've worked with Karen twice. Both times, she's helped me significantly reduce pain and gain strength. She's also taught me how to keep my knees and back in a good place, and exercises and stretches I can do when I notice pain beginning. Karen has also been great about keeping our PT routines interesting for me, and finding exercises that I enjoy as much as possible. Highly recommend!"

"Karen provided wonderful treatment for my shoulder and elbow. I appreciated that she gave me a variety of exercises that I could do at home with the equipment I already have, that the treatment is working, and that she explained the mechanics of my pain. I like that I worked with her directly as opposed to interns (my experience at other PT offices), and that the Cambridge office was relaxing (compared to other PT offices)."

"I've been a patient at Step Ahead twice, and there's a reason I returned when I had a new injury and needed some more PT. Karen is great: She listens closely to your concerns and works to help you meet your goals. She's been an incredible help with both my injuries, and if I ever needed PT again, she would be the first person I reached out to."
