For over a decade, I dealt with a mysterious pain that moved up and down the right side of my body. From neck to shoulder to hip to ankle and sole of my right foot, I never knew where or when this pain would show up or how it would mess with my life plans. I did yoga, Pilates, running and weight lifting to stay fit, and regularly mixed in physical therapy, foam rolling, massage and acupuncture. I tried to combat the pain that would come and go unannounced on any given day on any given location on the right side of my body, but none of it worked on a long-term basis. During the height of Covid, I made an appointment for physical therapy at a well-known facility in Wellesley, because of shoulder pain I was dealing with at the time. I began working with Cam Macdonald, and every week I was back with new forms of pain moving up and down the right side of my body. Cam recommended complementing my PT with a personal training program he devised to help strengthen all the weak parts of my body that were contributing to my ever-present pain. After a few months of consistently working with Cam twice a week on a hybrid PT/strength training program, my pain went away and the right side of my body was no longer a problem. Like any great story, my progress came to a devastating halt when conflict entered the scene. One day Cam shocked me by telling me he was leaving the large PT facility he had been working at, and was not able to tell me where he was going due to contractual obligations. Always the professional, Cam was steadfast in his refusal to tell me what facility he was moving to. And always the sly sleuth, I scoured the internet to figure out where he had ended up. As it turned out, Cam was just up the road at a new, unknown facility called Divergence PT and Wellness, where I tracked him down and began working with him in his new digs. Cam shook things up once more when he told me Divergence was opening a new location in Waltham, and if I wanted to continue training with him, my 8 minute ride to Washington Street in Wellesley would now become a 30 minute commute to Waltham. The amazing thing is, a 30 minute drive is nothing when it translates to a life without pain. In fact, I now do that 30 minute drive to train with Cam three times a week. It's a big time commitment, and it's expensive, but it's worth every minute and every penny. I am strong, happy, and the proudest member of the Divergence Waltham community.

I have been working with Cam and the Divergence team for about 3 years now, and have referred numerous clients to Divergence because of how highly I rate their approach to physical therapy and fitness. I have been visited by several recurring injuries during my adult life, including chronic back/neck pain, shoulder joint issues, and ankle sprains. My visits with Cam started with a focus on physical therapy to address the underlying issues beneath these injuries. Once those were addressed, we have been able to focus mostly on fitness and training, but whenever an injury begins to creep in, Cam helps me address it and eradicate it, so I can get back to physical fitness as quickly as possible. This approach that mixes fitness with therapy has worked wonders for me. I cannot say enough about how important Cam has become to my overall health.

Newton, MA | 12/17/2024

I can't say enough good things about Cam and the team at Divergence. I started seeing Cam 2+ years ago for chronic back pain that stemmed from old injuries and 3 pregnancies. I had been getting sports massages and seeing other PTs and nothing worked long term - I had resigned myself to living with pain forever. I was a bit skeptical of some of the techniques Cam used at first but within a few sessions my back pain completely disappeared. After a few more sessions I was feeling much stronger and more stable in my back and core. Today I truly feel better than ever. I am constantly impressed by Cam's creativity in coming up with ways to challenge me and help me reach my goals. I've referred several friends and family members to this practice and all have had great experiences. This team is so good at what they do - highly recommend!

Newton, MA | 12/17/2024

Cam worked with our son through a very difficult stage of his post achilles repair surgery. He was patient, flexible, accommodating, and professional. We are grateful for the progress our son made with him and would definitely return if necessary!

Have you ever had your mind blown? Just swore you knew something for sure, and then were totally wrong? My PT experience at Divergence is just that. Following two hip surgeries, then two hip replacements, two disc repairs and systemic arthritis, I've endured my share of PT visits. In my Divergence revelation, I now know that the goal of all of those PT sessions was to make me "safe," saving my insurance company money by not having me fall down. It had nothing to do with putting me back together or the return to sports and activities that I had loved in my lifetime. I just drank the Kool-Aid that said those activities were behind me. Never was attention paid to how my particular body worked; where there were natural and structural weaknesses, asthma and arthritis, and the weird compensatory body mechanics that I used to get through the day. I had strength trained on and off for 30 years always quitting when the routines became too painful. At nearly 70 I was referred to Divergence by a friend, and I began as a complete rehab patient with poor balance and no muscle. Now I carry a 40-pound awkward water bottle up a flight of stairs…and then go get the other nine. Divergence is a group of DPT's—Doctor of Physical Therapy—and their focus is all of you. Clinical and analytical about one's overall presentation from breathing to gait (and able to explain it), and restoration of body mechanics to healthy, paying close attention to every small deviation with a plan to re-teach, re-train and re-build, and careful listening at each session—"How does that feel?" Then we start. Today, ⅓ of my session is rehab and the rest, well, we lift some heavy weight! I was evaluated by Garrett—orthopedic woes are his specialty and he has certifications beyond his DPT. He and Mike came to me(!) to do the evaluation. Mike got me started; I'd label him a cheerleader, but that would undersell his coaching, and ability to switch up or change out movements from past injuries that are specific to me, for example, tweaks to planking with a torn rotator cuff. I spend most of my time with marathon-running Taylor. She is a master of mechanics and my arthritic knees squat painlessly, my arthritic wrists lift ridiculous weights, and my supinating falls are in the past. "Let's try this, tell me how it feels."—her mantra. Now the good part: It is a joy to come here. This is a family, and you are invited to join. The humor, the ability to laugh about what hurts, the constant care from the other DPT's—experts all--who are watching. Even if they don't work with me, they notice the changes, and this recognition of being stronger in this comfortable atmosphere is just icing on the cake. If PT and strength-training have failed you, come have your revelation.

I woke up one morning with pain in my right arm after a workout and couldn't lift it above my head. This went on for months before I could see an Ortho. After a misdiagnosis of frozen shoulder, an MRI that showed no injury, and a cortisone shot, I turned to Divergence. I was feeling hopeless as the doctors could not figure out what was going on but suggested PT may help. At this point, I thought I'd be living with this pain. When I met with Glenn, his approach was simple and different than any of my past experiences with PT. He didn't follow a script, and instead closely studied my movements and pain tolerance to figure out how he would treat my arm. He reassured me that with time my arm would be feeling better, which is something the Orthos were not able to give me. After a few months, I was not only lifting my arm above my head but with weights. From there, my program transitioned into strength training and following an at-home program in between visits, and I feel stronger than ever! My visits are not only effective but enjoyable too. Glenn and the whole Divergence team creates a fun and engaging atmosphere. The hour long workout flies by. I highly recommend Divergence to anyone looking to resolve an injury or just simply looking to feel good!

Wellesley, MA | 12/7/2024

I first came to Divergence on the recommendation of a family member who was dealing with hip replacement issues. I had recently suffered three broken ribs after a simple fall and knew that at age 65 with osteopenia, I was not headed in the right direction. Balance and stability were my two main issues. I have now been working with Taylor for close to a year, and I feel transformed. We started out very slowly working on exercises that most people would find simplistic but that I had trouble performing. Anything that required balancing on one foot would cause me to nearly (often) topple over. Gradually we progressed to adding weights into the mix, and I began to notice real improvements. We are now at a place where strength training has become as important of a focus as balance and stability. In my everyday life, not only can I put on a sock and shoe while balancing on one foot, but I can also perform heavy lifting tasks that I used to leave for my husband. I cannot recommend Taylor enough. She knows her stuff and is a wonderful cheerleader as I work through new exercises. The atmosphere at Divergence is also tremendous. Everyone is there with a goal, and there is camaraderie and support among the talented staff and the clients. I've never been a "gym" person, but this crew makes it fun. I've worked with trainers and physical therapists before but never had this kind of success. At other places, I felt like I was just another time slot on the schedule. Divergence has been an entirely different experience.

Newton, MA | 12/7/2024

I was referred to Cam MacDonald, PT, DPT, CSCS, less than six months ago. I needed physical therapy to address a couple of complex issues after searching without success for over a year. My new primary care physician suggested Divergence PT and Wellness and recommended that I work with Cam. It was such a relief to work with Cam twice a week for almost six months! I made continuous progress, always challenged just enough to push my limits a bit further each time. The environment was incredibly supportive and, importantly, adaptive—tailored to my physical and emotional needs. The results have been incredible: I'm now pain-free, have built physical stamina, and feel an overall improvement in my well-being. I couldn't have found better help and wholeheartedly recommend Cam!

Wellesley, MA | 12/7/2024

I was referred to Divergence PT by my personal trainer. I worked with Therapist Glenn Affrunti. I had a great experience working with Glenn pre-surgery to strengthen my knee and post-surgery to get me back to tennis. Glenn always listened to my aches/tightness concerns and took the time to address them during our sessions. I liked how Glenn would tweak my workouts based on my feedback. Glenn was always friendly, fun, organized, and professional. The environment amongst all the therapists at Divergence is friendly and welcoming to all. I would highly recommend Glenn and Divergence PT.

Wellesley, MA | 12/7/2024

Tyler Tanaka is an excellent trainer. He works with me on strength and conditioning. Tyler is extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. I would strongly recommend him.

Newton, MA | 11/7/2024

Divergence guides me, Strength and motion, pain relieved, Strongest I've ever felt.

Newton, MA | 11/7/2024

I have been working with Cam for several years now. As a casual gym goer who seems to get injured every couple of months, Cam has been worth his weight in gold. Not only is he knowledgeable and a smart guy, he also responds quickly, writes killer programs, and is genuinely committed to your progress. I may be constantly getting slight injuries here and there, but I feel confident with Cam in my corner. 10/10 recommend.

Newton, MA | 11/7/2024

I was introduced to Cam for my physical therapy after my ACL repair surgery in 2021. I started working with him in another facility, and I followed him to Divergence in Wellesley, and then to Waltham. From our very first session, his expertise and genuine care for my well-being were evident. He took time to thoroughly assess my condition and developed a personalized plan that addressed my specific needs. I progressed past PT and shifted towards strength training. He is skilled, professional and personable and has pushed me way past my comfort zone in the best possible way. During my one-hour session he gives me his 100% clinical attention and he always ensures that I am comfortable and safe while pushing me to make progress. His positive attitude and encouragement have motivated me to stay committed to my routine. The progress I made under his guidance surpassed my expectations, and I am now feeling stronger and more confident going through my exercises. I highly recommend Cam and his team at Divergence to anyone in need of physical therapy or personal training. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication truly make him stand out in his field. He is the Best!

Newton, MA | 11/7/2024

What a great place- came to Divergence with a left meniscus tear to work muscles prior to repair. Careful and incremental strength and mobility training to correct my mechanics, noticing my weakness and poor habits. I am now much stronger with clearly better balance, stamina and resilience. Really marked improvement and surgery postponed indefinitely- and can't say enough about their whole body approach. Thanks!

Newton, MA | 11/7/2024

Highly recommend Divergence Physical Therapy and Wellness! Cam is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about my progress. I have received personalized treatment plans to address various injuries and training programs that have made a huge difference in my recovery, strength and fitness. Great for all ages and stages!

Newton, MA | 10/7/2024

I have been working with Cam MacDonald at Divergence for almost 2 years upon the recommendation of another friend and PT. Cam has helped me become stronger and has always been extremely patient, encouraging and positive. He really believes in helping me reach my potential and challenges me to push harder to reach those goals. He has seen me through many injuries (hand, back, foot) and worked with me to modify my workouts when I have faced health issues that have limited my endurance and capabilities. Cam has a deep breadth of knowledge and experience which is evident during my recovery and training sessions. I greatly appreciate and value his input, guidance and support. I have never felt stronger and healthier and attribute that to Divergence PT and Cam's training. I highly recommend Cam and really everyone at Divergence!!

If you're looking for the same old, ice and stim and some banded exercises - this isn't the physical therapy clinic for you. If you're looking for actual, lasting results, that get you back to enjoying doing the things you love to do; results that allow you to trust and move your body again without pain - make the investment & go to Divergence Physical Therapy in Waltham. I've played professional rugby for over 10 years, with the last 9 years spent in the privileged position of wearing and representing Team USA as a USA Rugby athlete. Needless to say, I have had my share of bumps and bruises and a plethora of experience working with a wide range of physical therapists over the course of my career. I do not say this lightly when I say Dr. Cam Macdonald is hands down one of the best physical therapists I've ever worked with. I thought my rugby career was over last spring, when an old ankle injury had unfortunately devolved into chronic pain and advanced post traumatic arthritis. My strength coach recommended Cam, and I had one simple request at that time. Get me back on the field for one last season, so I could retire proudly representing the club that gave me my start in professional rugby. Cam over delivered and that spring I played in multiple games and officially hung up my boots, on my terms. This year, when I decided to try a newer type of ankle surgery to repair and regrow cartilage in my ankle, I immediately reached out to Cam. I needed someone I could trust and someone I believed was going to have the knowledge, skill and honestly the grit to partner with me on this journey. I am 6 months post op, and have probably another 6 months of earnest PT to go. He has had to curate and design my rehab journey with little to no guidance from my surgical team and the results so far are well beyond my surgeon's expectations. To the extent that they have since requested using the protocols Cam designed for my rehab as examples for their other patient's PTs to use. If you are seeking true, lasting reprieve from discomfort, pain or an injury thats keeping you from enjoying the most out of your body and life, Divergence is an ESSENTIAL piece of the equation. I quite emphatically recommend Divergence and especially Cam with my whole heart. They are worth the investment. You are worth the investment. Everyone deserves to live and move without pain and with ease and joy, and this team will get you there!

Wellesley, MA | 10/7/2024

A great facility with a kind and knowledgeable staff. They continually help me to elevate my athletic ability and focus in on areas I can strengthen to help prevent future injury.

Newton, MA | 10/7/2024

Divergence has seen me through 3 ACL surgeries, and in all of them there has been nothing short of fantastic attention to detail, understanding and clarity of communication, and a goal oriented mindset postured towards making real progress. In every rehab, Divergence, and specifically Cam MacDonald, my PT, has taught me a little bit more about myself. I've come to know my body in ways I couldn't have fathomed due to the surgical (pun) approach taken in recovery and rebuilding. Everything is intentional and based off the experience I'm having, which is massively important. Similarly, Cam has been able to adjust and adapt to my needs on the fly, which proves the depth of his understanding as well as the ability to get to the same destination through many paths. Best of luck to Divergence and Cam in the future.

Newton, MA | 10/7/2024

I started working with Cam Macdonald 18 months ago after my second ACL surgery. From the start, it was clear that Cam and Divergence were different. At other PT places, the goal appeared to be to rehab my knee to a serviceable level. With Cam, it was evident that the objective was to get back to 100% and to build the strength to protect my knee from further injury. I've continued working with Cam because he pushes me, always progressing with heavier weights, more reps, and faster times. I'm stronger than I've ever been, my knee is in great shape, and this has happened without pain or injury under Cam's guidance. I continue to recommend Cam and Divergence to my family and friends - I truly believe they are the best.

Wellesley, MA | 9/7/2024

Working with Tyler and Nikkie has been a great experience! I'm finally finding relief for problems that have plagued me for years, and problems I didn't even know I had. Focusing on PRI techniques and strengthening, this is not like any PT I've had before.

Wellesley, MA | 8/7/2024

I cannot recommend Connor at Divergence enough! I had been working out in a small group setting for a few years, and over time, my poor form started wearing down my body. It was immediately clear upon meeting Connor, that he holds a true passion for helping others with this work. The time and attention he put into getting to know my personal needs and goals was appreciated. Connor pushed me way past my comfort zone, in the best way possible! He knew I was capable of more than what I was allowing myself to do at home and the playlist was always 🔥. If you're considering Divergence for your Physical Therapy or Personal Training, the answer is yes, you need Connor in your life!

Wellesley, MA | 5/7/2024

I have been working with the staff at Divergence Physical Therapy and Wellness since October, 2021. My first session consisted of Mike, Connor and Garrett coming to my house for an initial evaluation because I was in too much pain and it was so uncomfortable for me to drive. I was barely moving, in constant pain from my lower back and unable to work. From the moment we began working together I respected their knowledge, professionalism, support and willingness to get me back to where I felt comfortable moving pain freewillingness to get me back to where I felt comfortable moving pain free. I appreciated that they listened to me and my concerns and I trusted them. I had been to several Physical Therapy practices in the past, but I knew immediately that Divergence was different and was the best fit to help me in my recovery. After a few months of working with Connor I was able to drive myself to the Wellesley location. My back pain was decreasing, I was comfortable driving longer distances and started to feel like my old self. Through Connor's help I was able to set reasonable and attainable goals and it felt great each time they were met. Unlike other Physical Therapy practices Divergence gives you one hour sessions and you have 100 % of the clinicians attention. You are not sharing their attention with other patients. They have developed a comfortable and friendly training environment, with state of the art equipment and many loyal customers. I have had the privilege of training with Mike, Connor, Taylor, Cam and Sam over the past three years. I have recommended Divergence to family and friends dealing with their own health issues. More than three years later I still go to the Wellesley location twice a week. I have made great progress, feel comfortable when driving long distances, began running and completed a 5K last November. My family and friends are all in awe of my progress and the difference in my level of pain. I owe so much to the staff of Divergence Physical Therapy and Wellness for their constant support and professional guidance. David Gottlieb

After tearing my ACL, I was advised by my doctor that a successful surgery was only part of the equation and that working with an excellent Physical Therapist and diligently following their instruction was key to full rehabilitation. Fortunately, Cam Macdonald was recommended to me by my strength and conditioning coach and 9 months after surgery, I'm cleared to return to sport. Cam is extremely adept at diagnosing the source of pain and then prescribing appropriate exercises and therapies to remedy it. He's incredibly motivating and doesn't shy away from escalating to heavier weights when appropriate for athletes. He made my rehab process as easy as possible by being flexible on scheduling and engaged in all aspects of my recovery by being readily communicative, even between visits. Cam has very successfully guided me through a very tough surgery, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Newton, MA | 4/7/2024

I can't say enough good things about working with Cam. I had the pleasure of working with Cam for I believe 8-9 months or so. I was coming from a place where I've been struggling with hip and back pain for a long time after years and years of doing strongman and general lifting. Having a background in coaching for 10 years I found this to be incredibly helpful and educational. Cam gave me the ability to see my body in a different light, was able to teach me and guide me through and around my pain, along with giving me my confidence back to go heavy and realize I wasn't broken. We had ups and downs during training and Cam was able to accommodate to that. Cam gave me homework to do on my own and was able to modify things for me if I wasn't feeling great. Cam is someone who is extremely knowledgeable and cares about his clients. I always left our sessions better than when I walked in. I can't say enough things about Cam and if anyone is looking for a PT to work with, I'd highly recommend him.

Wellesley, MA | 4/7/2024

I started working with Garrett about 8 months ago. I came in with a basket of issues that I had seen nearly every kind of professional for (chiropractor, massage therapist, traditional physical therapy, trainer, etc…), so I was deeply skeptical that Garrett would be able to make an impact. He did an excellent assessment and gave me a clear explanation of what he understood was going on. It was different than I had heard from anyone else, and it made a ton of sense, so I proceeded. Garrett was able to clearly articulate what was wrong and the journey that I'd need to take to fix it. 8 months later, everything he said has come to pass (though on a slightly longer timescale than initially anticipated). I'm now in the best biomechanical shape I've been in decades, and I feel I'm really able to push myself a lot harder without fear of breaking anything. I'm a 41 y/o, so I still have some issues from years of playing hard, but the big issues are now resolved thanks to Garrett's help. Additionally, I would say that I haven't been the easiest client. I came I skeptical and insist on understanding everything in more depth than is probably necessary. I'm also highly distractible, so I keep trying to introduce different goals etc… Garrett has been able to maintain his and my focus in the face of this, ensuring I stay consistent and make progress. Garrett's methods for rehab are very different than anyone I had yet worked with and far more effective. I couldn't recommend him and the Divergence team highly enough!!

Wellesley, MA | 2/7/2024

Glenn exhibits a methodical approach with an astute attention to detail that gave me immediate confidence in my treatment. I experienced seemingly random pain flare ups in my left rhomboid and found temporary relief in many exercises but the pain kept coming back. Glenn understood my desire for a long term solution, and I am very satisfied with the care I received.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2024

I've had the pleasure of working with Garrett for the last 4-months to address a multitude of compensatory patterns from a 15-year history of chronic back pain. Classic story of temporary symptom management over the years via chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy services. Garrett has stood out in his willingness to "hear my story," and "meet me where I'm at" each session. My experience at Divergence has felt collaborative, validating, and challenging. Garrett has been able to seamlessly progress, regress, and modify my program as my presentation has evolved. Being a physical therapist myself, I'm looking forward to diving deeper into the functional application of the Postural Restoration Institute concepts with owner Mike Demille's Solidify mentorship.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2024

I had an amazing experience at Divergence with Cam. I had been dealing with pain that prevented me from doing simple day-to-day tasks for almost a year, but after a few months working with Cam I was back to doing all the things I couldn't do. He helped me regain my strength and confidence, and I wouldn't be where I am today without him!

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2024

Dr. Cam Macdonald is a master of his craft and such a great motivator. As a former soccer State Champion I never believed I would ever be able to get back out there at 100%. I'm happy to report that I'm back to being a menace on the pitch and I feel stronger than ever. Would highly recommend this office!

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2024

I came referred to Divergence by a close friend who shares similar back issues that I face - difference was, he had relief and I didn't. Then in June 2022, I re-injured my back to where I lost sensation in my right foot and could not walk across the room without experiencing blinding pain and muscle spasms. Having 2 young kids and wanting to keep an active lifestyle coupled with a career as a Litigation Attorney, I was told by my doctors that a 3rd surgery with a fusion was the "only way to resolve this issue" and bring me "relief". This was not something I could accept at 38, especially after 2 prior back surgeries that did not give me the relief I sought. As an alternative undergoing another surgery, I decided to contact Divergence and was introduced to Garrett. I am not understating this - Garrett's personalized evaluation process and physical therapy plan, in addition to his detailed approach, decisive coaching style and complete willingness to get deep in the weeds on a problem not only brought me complete relief for my back/sciatic pain, but also allowed me to returned to the gym in 10 weeks without any restrictions whatsoever. After resolving my back/sciatic pain (which I am still blown away at how complete my relief is and continues to be), I continued my work with Garrett on resolving my foot numbness by way of Active Release Therapy and another specialized training plan. Yet again, Garrett demonstrated his command of his craft by getting to the root cause of my issue by utilizing a multifaceted approach that was specifically tailored to my needs - which has brought me relief that several doctors told me was not possible absent surgical intervention. There is no greater long term cost than losing one's comfort and health. Thankfully, with Garrett's guidance, I stand here today confidently and without pain having regained my comfort and further supported my health. To anyone reading this that wants relief, please stop costing yourself your comfort and enjoyment by hoping it will just work itself out or by buying what surgeons are selling (yes, selling) and contact Garrett - I guarantee he will help bring you relief you have been told (and likely believe) is not possible.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2024

I cannot say enough good things about Divergence. I am a D1 soccer goalkeeper and have now undergone 3 surgeries 2 of which I rehabbed with Dr. Cam McDonald. In January of 2022 I had a cadaver transplant to repair my, once fixed, posterior labrum tear in my shoulder. I didn't think I was going to be able to further pursue my dream. Cam got me back in 6 months in time for my Fall season. It can be so hard for student athletes to get back physically and mentally after injury. After my most recent injury, I felt like giving up and retiring. Cam is so confident in me. Divergence is a place I am excited to go to. All the staff make me feel unstoppable towards my goals. They are encouraging, fun, and motivating. Cam pushes me towards my goals when I need to be pushed. He also is there for me to talk when I am having a hard day. I remember early in my rehab, I was having such a difficult time doing calf raises. I was frustrated and said "Cam, I can't do this". He replied with "...yet". His positivity is what every athlete should have after an injury. I have never felt more confident in myself. I honestly don't know if I would still be playing soccer if it wasn't for the encouragement, positivity, and fun Divergence gave me.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2023

The guys at Divergence are awesome - highly skilled, professional yet approachable. They give one-on-one care for an hour, ONLY with your physical therapist (not handed off to an aide or working with a PT who is juggling multiple patients an hour), and that quality shows. I can't recommend them all enough after being to other crowded PT clinics over the years for treatment of various injuries. You can tell that they actually care about your success here!

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2023

I've been seeing Mike and Connor since 2018. No exaggeration - they saved my life! I had undergone hip surgery in my mid 20s, and even after hundreds of hours of traditional PT, cortisone shots, and everything else you can imagine, I was uncomfortable and in pain constantly. I couldn't sit still in meetings. I went to sleep and woke up in pain, and feared long drives because of how awful they felt. A local doctor referred me to Mike, and within a few sessions, my pain disappeared. His approach is simply different than anything else I've ever encountered. I worked with Mike for years, until I progressed past PT and shifted towards strength training. I've been seeing Connor for about a year - he's helped me grow stronger, fitter, and healthier, all while maintaining the new biomechanical patterns that keep me out of pain. Thanks to his guidance I'm setting personal weightlifting records monthly. My experience is actually the rule, not the exception. I've sent my wife, my mom, my dad, my grandfather, my siblings, multiple friends, and business partners to see Mike, Connor, Garret, and Cam. Every single one confirms what I know - this is among the best Physical therapy practices in the usa.

Connor and the team at Divergence know their stuff. We trust professionals in just about every aspect of our lives, but when it comes to fitness most of us "just wing it". I was plateaued and doing the same routine I've done for years and wondering why I wasn't seeing results. Connor put me through an evaluation and built a custom workout regiment that not only got me over my plateau, but increased my performance/recovery and opened my eyes to a new approach to fitness that I otherwise would have dismissed. Can't say enough good things about the team at Divergence.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2023

A very cerebral approach with actual results.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2023

I am a fellow Physical Therapist and cash based clinic owner and I met Connor at a continuing education course in PRI. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge base and knew I needed to connect with him after the course. I bought a 4-session package for treatment and it not only improved my understanding of the course material, but it allowed me to feel the effects of the unique work as a patient. I then joined Solidify, which is a 10 week mentorship program co-run by Mike, the owner of Divergence. The mentorship has been a pivotal move for my growth as a clinician. As a clinician and as a patient, I can confidently say the guys at Divergence know their stuff and provide an "out of the box" approach to not only getting you out of pain, but getting you to reach your performance potential.

Wellesley, MA | 1/7/2023

Cannot say enough good things about Cam! Outstanding physical therapist and even better person! Haven't had the pleasure of working with anyone else but from what I've read the staff is bar none. Would recommend to a friend! 5 ⭐️ Operation!

Connor Sheridan and the team at Divergence do an incredible job. Extremely friendly and clearly have a passion for helping people reach their goals. I have seen multiple PT's in the past 2 years for the same back/hip injury with zero results which has caused me to miss work and miss out on all of my favorite physical activities. I started with Connor at Divergence in October and have made tremendous progress in getting out of pain which has been a life changing experience. Don't waste your time, go here first.
