Patient Spotlight on Jess from our Rehoboth office!

Jess is an incredible artist! She recently completed a unique project, a crowd-sourced poem, that was created during Boston's Figment Project participatory art festival, held in Somerville, Massachusetts on July 25th 2026. It is built directly from the input of nearly 300 attendees.

"Each participant selected a word or phrase from a board (options drawn from my own poems) and was recorded reading it aloud. The new poem thus unfolds from these individual decisions, made without knowledge of what word/phrase was recorded before or after their choice. It is read in a patchwork of voices., in exactly the order each word was selected and recorded by the participants.

Together we collaborated through a network of countless choices, chances, and crossed paths, revealing unexpected connections and insights. As we transform the individual words of my past, our new joint poem demonstrates the creative power of community, and the mysteries of our collective subconscious to capture hidden meanings within our shared experiences."

It is such a beautiful project! Collective imagination grows when people like you create. Thank you for sharing your unique vision with the world.

Happy Friday!

Morning PT visits are always better with a little assistant on duty. This patient had a sweet helper today. He found the perfect window to check in on her- peeking right through the face cradle to say "Hi!"

We love sharing our passion for helping patients through hosting students for their clinical rotations.

Currently we have Erika from MGH with Justine and Ryan in Rehoboth, and Mike from Johnson & Wales with Jenn in Milford.

We asked them for a brief introduction and reflection on their experience to date. Here is what they had to say!

"Hi everyone! My name is Erika Fernandes and I am a 2nd year DPT student at MGH Institute of Health Professions. I have been placed at Personal Best Physical Therapy for my first full time clinical rotation and have been learning so much every day! I'm extremely grateful to my primary clinical instructor, Dr. Justine Veloza. Her mentorship continues to challenge me to think beyond the classroom and to emphasize a patient centered approach, and her knowledge in pelvic floor PT has been invaluable. I have also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Ryan Furtado who has given me helpful pointers across his caseload, and with his clinical expertise on vertigo population, I have been fortunate to learn a lot of new techniques. Personal Best has the most personable and supportive staff, and I feel very lucky to be learning and growing in this environment!"

"My name is Mike DiPasquale, and I am a second-year DPT student at Johnson & WalesUniversity in Providence, RI. This semester, I was placed at Platinum Physical Therapy in Milford, MA, where I completed a part-time integrated clinical experience under Dr. Jenn Pittman. Throughout this experience, Dr. Pittman has been an outstanding professional mentor and has helped me grow in both my clinical reasoning and critical thinking skills. It has also been especially valuable to work one-on-one with patients and follow their plan of care from start to finish, which has strengthened my understanding of the full rehabilitation process"

Best of luck to Erika and Mike on the rest of their PT journeys! Hopefully their journeys lead them right back to us after they graduate 😊
