Dr. Kevin J McGovern, PT

Dr. Kevin J McGovern, PT We transform people into their fittest, healthiest, and most pain-free lifestyle. I am an expert in helping Active Adults move better with less pain.

Sometimes I am the last stop or last resort to your recovery. I believe Physical Therapy can deliver amazing results when applied with innovation and science. If you hope to be more active, participate in recreational sports, and get healthier then, I can help you. For over 27 years I have led the fields of Physical Therapy and Sports Training and some of my accomplishments include:

Education:

D

octorate in Physical Therapy from Simmons University,
Bachelor of Science from Northeastern University
Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach for the NSCA


Work History:

I have been in private practice owner since 1999. I owned a very large insurance-based practice with 45 employees that I sold back in 2013. I started PERFECT MOTION Sports Therapy in 1999 as a fee-for-service or cash-based practice to be able to care for my patients free of insurance restrictions. Awards, Titles, and Designations:

PT PRACTICE of the Year
INC 5000 List for Growing Companies


Other Tidbits of Info:

I have been a Physical Therapist for 27 plus years. During this time I have helped thousands of people recover from injury or exceed their fitness goals. I have developed a functional movement test and corrective exercise system that I have G.A.M.E. which stands for Graded Active Movement Exam. This system tests and corrects the body's initial sequence of movement which everyone has in common, from the Olympic Athlete to grandma. To be healthy, one has to move correctly. I am a baseball fanatic. I teach pitching and have developed a program called Velocity RX that helps baseball pitchers stay healthy. I do freelance work for the WWE. I was involved in one of their PPVs. The YouTube clip of the scene has over 42 Million views! I have two beautiful daughters. In my free time I like to golf, cook, camp, and dabble in the occasional woodworking project. I got into PT because I had a catastrophic knee injury at just 16 years old. I was sent to PT. That experience was horrible. I vowed that when I got out of PT school, I would do my best every day to care for my clients in the best way possible. After selling my last practice I should have been semi-retired. They don't teach you a thing about business in PT school. You have to learn by doing. I certainly did not make all the best business decisions, but, I did what I thought in my heart was the best at the time. Loyalty can certainly come back to bite you. When you want to move better with less pain, you need someone you can count on when it comes to Physical Therapy and Sports Training. I will help you be more active, improve your participation in recreational sports, and/or get you healthier!

Current methods for evaluating baseball pitchers are failing, leading to significant consequences. Discover Velocity RX, a revolutionary approach designed for comprehensive and accurate assessment.

This video has lots of information. Shows a great scapular stabilization band or T-Rex drill. It’s most important function is teaching you how to sequentially move when performing exercise: proximal to distal. VITAL INFO!!

The Shoulder Coordination Test, part of the GAME Test, that every athlete goes through when entering the velocity RX program clearly shows a major movement fault that causes the shrug in my Tommy John in Jury formula. You can fix mechanics all you want, but you need to find the root cause of why the Mechanic is dysfunctional in the first place or it will never get fixed correctly and you will still get injured.

This is John. He is one of my most successful patients ever. In 2019 he weighed 450 pounds. He had just had a major stroke which left him with little ability to walk and use his upper extremity. From September of 2019 to 2022. We worked out five days a week and sometimes during Covid he would come twice a day. He is down 175 pounds. He still works out with me at least three days a week. He still has some permanent residual from the stroke. But we can box. We can throw the ball around. We can do a lot of functional activities that continue to keep him healthy and neurologically sound!!! Remember all physical therapy is not the same.

What do you see here and more importantly, it the root cause of what pitching mechanic issue?

Ever wondered how our brains initiate movement? The Graded Active Movement Exam (GAME test) is designed to explore the complex neurological sequences behind starting an action. It's a fascinating look into our motor control.
