Reviews of Physical Therapy Marblehead MA - Boston Sports Medicine Physical Therapy (Physiotherapist)

Cyndi Chaison

After slipshod experiences with PTs in this area and a wrong diagnosis for my injury, I had pretty much given up hope of ever healing. That is, until I consulted with Dr. Shira Dragun, Clinical Director at Boston Sports Medicine in Marblehead. Her wealth of knowledge, listening skills, and ability to communicate effectively are second to none. She continuously draws from her extensive treatment arsenal to ensure a positive outcome. So to avoid the PT runaround, see Shira and get results.

After 30 years of back problems, Shira Dragun had me 90% better in 3 weeks. Shira's personalized attention has given me the tools I need to control my symptoms and continue to improve on my own. What a difference in my life!

I was treated at BSM Marblehead for about 8 months for a serious knee injury and I cannot recommend them enough! Shira is very knowledgable and professional, she does a great job of explaining while treating. The facility is beautiful and is in a great location, all the staff there were kind and helpful throughout my PT experience.

My experience with Shira Dragun at Boston Sports Medicine in Marblehead was the best. Shira was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and excellent in helping me to figure out where the pain was coming, to strengthen the weak areas, and for getting me back out on the road. She gave me a realistic at-home routine to help me continue building strength. I highly recommend! Boston Sports Medicine (SHIRA) is the best!!

My sessions spent with Shira Dragun at Boston Sports Medicine could not have been more helpful. A quick diagnosis of my injury led right into an in-depth physical therapy regimen that has assisted me in coming back from a rotator cuff injury. With the help we received from Shira and Boston Sports Medicine, both my father and I have nothing but great things to say about the organization.

Shira at Boston Sports Medicine PT in Marblehead rocks. She is friendly and hard-working, and put forth great energy to help alleviate my pain. The facility is always clean with access to a full gym right outside the office doors. Shira always had the wheels spinning for different treatments if something was not helping. She is truly invested in the well-being and improvement of her patients.

Shira was awesome. I went to see her with what I thought was a shoulder injury, which she treated, in addition to treating a problem in my back that was the cause of the shoulder pain. I know if I had gone to a doctor they would have given me an x-ray or an MRI and told me I was fine. I highly recommend going to see her for any sports related injury you need treatment for.

At the beginning of the summer I decided it was time to begin exercising, something I had not done in many years. I instantly injured my ankles and spent a painful summer trying to run through my pain. When I realized that my injury was getting worse I decided it was time to seek help. I found that help at Boston Sports Medicine. Shira Dragun is a skilled physical therapist and a lovely person who put together a plan to fix my ankles. She also took the time to teach me how to exercise without reinjuring myself. After about six weeks I was completely pain free and felt stronger than I had in years. I left my last appointment feeling great and equipped with a plan for how to exercise without injury. Shira respected my need to run and helped me to do so safely. I just returned from a three-mile run, something I could not have comfortably done two months ago. As I sat down on the floor after the run to stretch my ankle, calf, and hamstring muscles, I was thinking of Shira, who not only helped to repair my injured ankles but also taught me how to keep them healthy as I continue to exercise. I am very grateful to have found Shira and Boston Sports Medicine. Scheduling appointments is very easy, the Tioga way location is easily accessible, with plenty of parking, the office is clean and fully equipped, and the physical therapist, Shira Dragun is wonderful. I highly recommend Shira Dragun and Boston Sports Therapy.

I was referred to Boston Sports Med by my doctor following a car accident, and went to the Marblehead location for eight weeks to work on my arm/shoulder/neck that were all injured in the accident. When I first showed up, I had limited range of motion and a lot of pain. Shira Dragun worked with me twice a week, and by the time I left I had back full ROM and the pain was much improved. I know it is a slow process to heal back with the severity of the accident I had, and my recovery has been greatly accelerated thanks to all the hard work that Shira put in with me. Hopefully I don't have any more car accidents (and need more PT), but I know that Boston Sports Med will be the only place I want to go if needed. Shira is a total rock star!!!

Shira Dragun was excellent in Marblehead for helping me with recuperating from a seriously painful unstable pelvis injury. I didn't even know I needed to be stretching and working certain muscles and she was very patient with me in teaching basic body mechanics and solid exercises to strengthen my core without straining my poor overworked spine! The adjunct modalities she used (Electro-stim, Massage and heat) were excellent as well. Finally, she is very intuitive and picked up on my subtle dislike of certain exercises and helped formulate a plan that would work for me so I can be compliant with my home post-exercise program.

Having been through a large number of PT experiences that were, well OK, it was an eye-opening experience to begin an association with Boston Sports Medicine in Marblehead and most specifically, Dr. Shira Dragun. Dr. Dragun (usually wants you to call her Shira) is very focused on you, the patient. Her initial evaluations are very complete, unhurried, and her knowledge and experience shows in how well she picks up minor details in the injured area. During the PT sessions you feel like you have your own personal physical therapist as she watches technique on every therapeutic exercise (and she has a large cadre of them in her mental inventory) and corrects any issues immediately. The attention to detail is far better than I have ever experienced. The progress is apparent in a very short while. For my latest round of PT for my knee, the MGH Sports Medicine practice had their own list of referred PT facilities. I politely declined, stating that I had my own PT specialist and would never think of going anywhere else. Oh, did I mention her personality is so pleasant and her focus is so intent on your recovery that I feel she is a diamond that not many people have discovered. To sum up in one sentence, Dr. Shira Dragun is the very best PT specialist (remember she has a DPT and is a Doctor) I have ever worked with and her focus, knowledge, experience, and personal manner is a 10...no maybe an 11!!! And the one true feeling you will experience is that she cares about you. That comes through first and foremost.

Shira is great! I had a difficult shoulder surgery that left me immobile and very timid. She worked with me, helping me build my mobility and confidence. The first day, I was fearful to remove my sling and within a week or so, I was sling-free. Shira is professional, extremely knowledgeable and she made physical therapy fun. Thank you Shira for everything.

In early October I developed severe lower back pain that was so bad that I could not walk unless I was completely bent over. I tried pain pills, steroid pills, had an MRI all of which resulted in little relief. After all else failed my PCP suggested physical therapy with Shira Dragun at Boston Sports Medicine in Marblehead. Shira is very knowledgeable and personable and got the job done. I had my last of 12 visits with her on 12/30/15 and am 90% improved from when I started. And, with the exercises she sent home with me I am I will be 100% in the not to distant future. Thank you Shira!

I highly recommend BSM and especially Shira Dragun. Shira guided me through my recovery with expertise, patience and a great sense of humor. I really appreciated her insight and compassion. Highly recommend!

Shira is doing great work here. Worked with me for 2 1/2 months and took me from being in pain constantly to pain free and able to do any type of athletic activity I want.

Shira is amazing! I had an incredible experience in her care. She answers every question and creates a comfortable environment to learn and heal.
