“Craig, Derek, Jack, and Shana and the team at Cabot Physical Therapy helped me recover from my shoulder surgery quickly. They got me back to work and to my normal activities in no time. They went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. I am confident in the quality of care they provide and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy.”

“CPT has treated several members of my family and I am a "repeat customer." A year ago I worked on my flexibility here after surgery. This time I put off coming for my shoulder pain because I thought it was part of getting older. I had a hard time sleeping because of the pain in my shoulder. I am amazed by my improvement. After one visit, my pain has decreased and after 2 visits my range of motion is better. I am sad that I put it off coming to Cabot Physical Therapy.”

“After total knee replacement, I have chosen the best place to help me. It’s been a long road but I have had a lot of encouragement & help. I could not be happier with my total outcome. Thank you CPT.”

“You can do it with the persistent help of this team and hard work at home. July 2023, I had arthroscopic surgery of my left hip to repair a labral tear. Before surgery I had pain & catching with walking, gardening, horseback riding and cleaning house. After surgery, I was on a walker or crutches for 6-8 weeks. When I began PT, 2-3 times a week, I could barely lift my leg on my own. Starting with the very basics & sticking to it, I am now able to do walking, lifting and all my previous activities pain free. I wouldn’t have done it without their guidance, expertise and encouragement. Thank you so much.”
- Julie A.
