Our personalized treatment plans are designed to address these concerns, ensuring your safety and aiding in a full recovery.

If you’re dealing with dizziness or vertigo, we offer highly effective treatments that can often resolve these troublesome symptoms in just 1-2 visits.

For those recovering from a concussion, we provide comprehensive care to help you return to normal activities, whether that’s getting back on the field, court, or simply resuming daily life. Concussions can have lingering effects on balance, coordination, and gait, but with our targeted physical therapy programs, we can guide you through a safe recovery process. Our goal is to help you regain full function while minimizing the risk of future injuries.

In addition to dizziness and concussion recovery, we offer gait training to improve your walking and running mechanics. Whether you need assistance learning how to properly use crutches, a cane, or a walker, or you’re an athlete looking to refine your running form, our expert therapists are here to help. Using tools such as video gait analysis, we can assess your movement patterns and identify areas for improvement. This approach allows us to optimize your mechanics, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance your overall performance.

“I was referred to Sport & Spine for post-operative rehab from shoulder surgery. The care and treatment I received was highly effective. Thanks to Sport & Spine I am back to being fully functional in life’s general activities, and I am now rowing for competitions.”

- PETE CATHEY, Head Coach UNH Men’s Crew, Master Rower; Assistant Coach of Charles River Rowing Camp

“I have always engaged in intense levels of activity in both work and play. So when I had a menisectomy and ACL replacement after an accident, I was completely immobilized. I came to Sport & Spine because they were highly recommended by my surgeon. I truly had my doubts about physical therapy, but as soon as I arrived I knew this was the right choice. They use diverse and innovative ways to get you on your feet again by setting challenging yet attainable goals. And when I was done with my therapy, they were just as proud of me as I was of myself.”

- ALEXENDRA CHAN, Archaelogist

“I have been to numerous chiropractors, physical therapists, myotherapists and neurologists for the past 12 years for back, neck and shoulder pain to no avail. But after just 12 visits, I am out in my garden again! Chris and his staff really went the extra mile to see me reach and attain my goals. Thank you so much... I am forever grateful.”

- LIZ RIORDAN

“Suffering from a bad shoulder was something that I was living with for months. But working with the heroes over at Sport & Spine helped me progress at a level that was comfortable yet pushed me to a point that minimized the pain. Sport & Spine is the perfect physical therapy environment with a highly trained and cordial staff that really, really cares.”

- JAMES SWISHER

"Two months of using stretches I found on YouTube and got from my doctor’s office did nothing for my herniated disc. Just one month after going to see Dr. Ben McGinnis, my pain was almost entirely gone. We’re now working on strengthening to ensure I don’t re-injure myself. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Sport & Spine."

- PATRICK

"Although I worked primarily with Dan, the entire staff is professional, friendly, and above all they really know how to treat your conditions. I have been to Sport and Spine for 2 periods over the past couple of years, once for post shoulder surgery and once for treating a knee problem. I highly recommend Dan and Sport and Spine in general for physical therapy."

- JOHN B

"Was under Sport & Spine Physical Therapy's care for a 3 month period due to rotator cuff surgery. My rehab included three sessions weekly. The facility was always very neat and clean. The Corvid prevention program was quite thorough and very reassuring to me as a patient. Their entire staff was very courteous and professional. My primary therapist was Ben McGinnis. His care, preparation, and concern were exemplary. He always listened to my concerns and customized my exercise regimen to my particular case and needs. With the support and assistance of Karen Goldberg on Ben's days off, we were able to exceed my surgeon's expectations and overall goals. For the spectacular results of your detailed care and compassion, my hats off to you both! Heartfelt Thanks!!"
