Sustain Physical Therapy and Performance - Back Bay, Boston in Boston

I started at Sustain with physical therapy and have stayed on for personal training with Adam L. I’m not a gym-loving person naturally, but I like the results for my health. Sustain is uniquely positioned for people who have injuries or specific deficits but are otherwise somewhat athletic (though of course they can work with clients at any level of fitness!). I especially like that now that I’m back to a baseline, we do the usual weight lifting/strength training exercises but the form and focus is tailored to my specific issues and weaknesses. It’s targeted in a way that even my best experiences with regular gym trainers couldn’t get to, which I attribute to the medical and therapeutic background of the staff, who are all extremely pleasant and supportive.

Zach did an awesome job as my physical therapist. He was clearly knowledgeable and after a thorough one on one evaluation he created a customized plan that we adjusted as I progressed. I saw him for two different issues (foot and hip) and saw significant progress with both injuries. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Sustain PT! Dr. Adam Liptak treated me for a shoulder injury and I couldn’t be happier with the results. When I started, I was really in a lot of pain and my limited mobility was impacting my ability to exercise and do daily tasks. Throughout my treatment, my pain levels and range of motion consistently improved until my shoulder was back to normal. Adam is highly knowledgeable and his passion for his work is clear from the very first session. He is also one of the kindest people you will ever meet and is a true professional. I really value the personalized care I received at Sustain. Each session and home workout was tailored to the stage I was at. The workouts included a wide variety of exercises and were continually updated to progress my strength and mobility. Adam also worked with me to build my general fitness to prevent reinjury. I recommend Sustain PT to anyone who has pain or who is looking to maximize their fitness routine. I can’t imagine that you will be able to find this level of expertise and personalized care anywhere else!

I've been working with Zach for a few months to help with a nagging shoulder injury that's been holding me back in the gym. It's something I've been dealing with for a while that I've either tried to fix myself or see other providers for, and progress has been slow or non-existent. My sessions with and the plan set up by Zach have given me the first tangible relief for my shoulder dysfunction in a long time. I've set lifetime PRs in the gym and feel confident to perform at my best at an upcoming competition. And, aside from that, Zach has all the positive qualities you would want in a physical therapist-- everything is explained clearly, he's very warm & understanding, and honestly just a good dude. I highly recommend anyone seek out Sustain and Zach specifically for physical therapy needs.

I highly recommend Sustain for physical therapy. Adam L was excellent to work with, knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to any question. Adam’s personable nature and genuine care for my well-being stood out to me, making me feel supported every step of the way. I especially appreciated that he took the time to review my surgical report to tailor the program to my specific needs. While we also need to put in the work, his approach made a real difference. His responsiveness, expertise and care played a significant role in my recovery, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I discovered Sustain through a simple Google search, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made! After a discouraging calf injury left me feeling disheartened and debilitated, Adam quickly earned my trust with a clear diagnosis and a thoughtful, tailored physical therapy plan that restored my confidence in recovery. Throughout my journey, he identified gaps in my exercise routine that may have contributed to the injury and provided practical advice to prevent future issues. He also created customized programs I could use while traveling or between studio sessions, ensuring consistent progress. The studio is a welcoming space filled with positive energy, great music and an encouraging atmosphere that made me look forward to each session. Thanks to Adam’s expertise and support, I fully recovered in just a few months and chose to continue on with the studio with a strength training program. Adam’s thoughtful guidance and form adjustments have boosted my performance and confidence, helping me grow even stronger. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam and the entire Sustain team—a genuine, effective and supportive crew that’s committed to your success!

Throughout my gymnastics career, I have faced recurring challenges with shoulder injuries and impingement. More recently, these issues began to affect my daily life, causing pain even while sleeping and forcing me to step away from gymnastics entirely. After consulting with several specialists, I found my way to Sustain Physical Therapy and Performance, where I began working directly under the care of Adam Babcock. Adam carefully designed a personalized rehabilitation plan that included systematic check-ins, tailored guidance for daily exercises at home, and targeted feedback to ensure steady progress. By diligently following the program, I not only regained my full range of motion without pain but also achieved results that exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Adam's expertise and support, I am thrilled to be back in gymnastics and enjoying pain-free movement. Working with Adam and his team has been a truly uplifting experience. Their professionalism, dedication, and approachable attitude made every session a pleasure, I always leave with a big smile on my face. I cannot recommend Sustain Physical Therapy and Performance highly enough for anyone seeking personalized, effective care.

Training at Sustain brings me so much joy. Prior to working with them my exercise experience had been on and off, more off than on. My experience with Sustain is that I started with them to fix a problem, graduated to exercising and then adding independent workouts that complement my Sustain sessions. I found Sustain when looking for physical therapy for an injury I got while bicycling. I received personalized treatment that supported my recovery and allowed me to get back to the activities I enjoy. My experience is that the trainers do an excellent job of asking questions, listening, and then aligning exercises with my needs. As I healed I transitioned from therapy to training with goals of strengthening my body and reducing future injuries. Working with a trainer gives me confidence in my exercise program and provides me with continuous feedback that allows me to do my best. As a result of working with a Sustained Fitness trainer my strength and flexibility has improved, I feel better about myself, and I feel more confident in my other activities.
