WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US:

  • I started working with Alex two years ago when I began training for my first marathon. I was not much of a runner before that, so his focus from the start was on prehab - injury prevention was the name of the game. When aches and pains inevitably showed up, as they do when you go from not running to running a marathon, we switched our focus to rehab - intervention at the first sign of injury allowed me to recover quickly and continue working, safely and healthily, toward my goal. As a runner himself, Alex understands the physical and mental stress of the sport and he brings that knowledge and compassion to his work. He’s professional, he dedicates time to better educating himself and his clients, and he will be your biggest cheerleader. I’m now training for my 6th marathon with Alex and needless to say, I couldn’t or wouldn’t do it without him!

    Michaela M.

  • Complete Professional, super convenient location and fixed my issue in one visit. Alex is the man!

    Jim H.

  • Alex helped me through a hamstring injury two years ago and I have never stopped seeing him for performance treatments. As an ultra marathoner with a 9 year outdoor run streak, longevity and staying healthy are extremely important for me. I am very grateful for Alex’s knowledge, passion, and willingness to work with me through everything! One of the things I love most about Alex is his “in the game” attitude. He is able to bring real life experience into his practice because he is active in the running and other sports communities!!

    Maurice L.

  • I was recommended Alex by a friend who had previously worked with him. Obviously, trusting someone to take care of your body is a huge step, so I was definitely a little nervous, but he has been so incredible to work with! He is so knowledgeable about the anatomy and function of literally every muscle I asked about. He always took the time to explain things in a way that was easy to understand. Plus, he’s just a really nice guy who is fun to talk to. After one session and one week of doing the exercises he recommended, my knee felt so much better. (This had been an injury I was trying to treat with another PT for weeks.) Highly recommend!!!

    Juna G.

  • My experience with Alex was second to none. I came in after experiencing pain in my calf. Alex was quick to diagnose that it was more specifically pain related to my gastroc muscle. He then provided a couple different modalities of treatment including some massage, dry needling and electro-stimulation to release as much tension as he possibly could. Finally, Alex showed me some exercises to rehab this muscle, tips to prevent future injury and a walk-run plan to get me back to running full speed. Alex is the real deal, he is extremely thorough, knowledgable in his field, and incredibly personable. He will go to any lengths to make sure his clients get better, and is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. I give Alex my highest recommendation, and hope that everyone that needs a physical therapist looks no further than Alex.

    Ariel E.

  • Alex is a fantastic PT. He truly sought to understand my fitness and recovery goals following an acute back injury. He used many modalities to loosen up my back and get me moving again. Alex is personable and fun to work with. Don’t hesitate to call Alex for any of your PT needs!

    Mike K.

  • I never use the word indespensable, but I must use it after working with Alex. He knows every single muscle in the human body and then some. He has cured my sprains, rotator cuff injuries, ankle impingement, hip and knee arthritis, and even TMJ dysfunction. He has saved me from getting multiple surgeries and gets to the root cause of all of my problems. I can’t recommend Alex enough!

    Antionette C.

  • If I could put 10 stars I would. Dr. Burke put me on a program to recover, and was there to guide me every step of the way. The combination of personalized in office treatments, a personalized workout plan and a massive shift in my overall mindset has help me improve massively in every aspect of my life. I can say without question, Dr. Burke cares about his patients more than I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t stop until the problem is solved!

    Phil B.

  • Alex has the perfect touch for reducing pain immediately and sustaining comfort. He is articulate and tutorial and sets a high standard for PT and body work. Resounding value and good spirited

    Kenn F.

  • Alex's passion and knowledge is unmatched in the industry. I recently visited Alex for a long term running injury and his ability to perform Trigger Point Dry Needling had me feeling better instantly. I am fully confident in Alex's abilities and will continue to work with him in the future.

Dr. Alex Burke, PT, DPT

President & Founder

GET TO KNOW US

Alex earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from the University of Rhode Island in 2020. During this time he played on the Men’s Rugby Club and was also a Wide Receiver and Defensive Back Coach at his alma mater, North Kingstown High School, where he helped the team win three straight state titles.

He started his career off working in an insurance-based, traditional style PT clinic. While he enjoyed his time in this setting, he realized that concierge PT would better suit him and his dedicated and personalized treatment style.

He went on to work for TB12 Sports in Boston, where he mastered his massage therapy and exercise selection skills. He developed an ability to quickly get people out of pain and recover from injury and surgery. He worked with many world class collegiate and professional athletes all over the U.S. During this time, Alex also discovered his passion for running. He has completed 7 marathons since 2021 and a 24-hour ultra-marathon where he ran 112 miles and earned first place.

When the TB12 Boston location closed, Alex started his own practice to continue providing exceptional care to his clients in the Boston area. He is passionate about leading people back to whatever sport or activity they love following an injury, surgery or set back, and then helping them stay healthy. He is accepting new clients at this time.
