Pro Sports Therapy was established in 1999 in Waltham, Massachusetts by co-founders and physical therapists Don Worden and Ed Lacerte. Don Worden, who served as team physical therapist and assistant athletic trainer for the NHL Boston Bruins from 1985 to 1992, has worked with thousands of athletes at all levels, including Olympians, NHL and NBA athletes, international sports teams, and high-profile musicians, and has established long-standing relationships with numerous physicians and orthopedic surgeons in the greater Boston area. Ed Lacerte, who served as the team physical therapist and athletic trainer for the NBA Boston Celtics from 1987-2017, is a frequent speaker on physical therapy and continues to work with national basketball teams throughout the year. Ed has extensive experience as an Olympic Athletic Trainer and was most recently inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame for his decades of service to the Celtics and USA basketball teams.
Our company quickly grew from a small, two-clinician practice to a multi-location practice of fourteen physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, with a renowned reputation for providing high-quality physical therapy to patients of all ages and an extensive range of injuries. In 2004, we opened our second location in Westford, MA. Shortly after, in 2007, we acquired the Spine Program “Boot Camp” from New England Baptist Hospital, an interdisciplinary spine program that incorporates cardiovascular exercises, stretching and aggressive strengthening using weight equipment and free weights.
We take pride in the knowledge and skill level of our clinical staff and encourage our staff members to pursue continued education. All of our clinical staff attend trainings and seminars led by senior clinical staff and invited speakers on a regular basis on the latest techniques utilized in the physical therapy industry and recent developments in medicine. Many of our clinicians complete various other trainings and certifications on their professional interests, and each member of our team brings a unique perspective and expertise to our practice.
At Pro Sports Therapy, we prioritize a friendly and respectful patient experience in a professional and caring outpatient environment. Our qualified staff works with you to create a personalized plan of treatment to relieve pain, promote strength and movement, and return you to your maximum level of physical function.
