Assessments, interventions, and wellness

The Ionta PT Center, located on our Charlestown Navy Yard campus, provides pro bono services to individuals in the local community who may not otherwise have access to physical therapy care or those whose insurance benefits have expired but still need continued therapy. 

Our Services

We offer comprehensive assessments, interventions, client education, and wellness that addresses each individual's needs. As part of their course work, students from our Doctor of Physical Therapy program provide services to children and adults experiencing long-term neurological, cardiopulmonary, and musculoskeletal issues.
