Dr. Kevin J McGovern, PT

Dr. Kevin J McGovern, PT We transform people into their fittest, healthiest, and most pain-free lifestyle. I am an expert in helping Active Adults move better with less pain.

Sometimes I am the last stop or last resort to your recovery. I believe Physical Therapy can deliver amazing results when applied with innovation and science. If you hope to be more active, participate in recreational sports, and get healthier then, I can help you. For over 27 years I have led the fields of Physical Therapy and Sports Training and some of my accomplishments include:

Education:

Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Simmons University,
Bachelor of Science from Northeastern University
Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach for the NSCA


Work History:

I have been in private practice owner since 1999. I owned a very large insurance-based practice with 45 employees that I sold back in 2013. I started PERFECT MOTION Sports Therapy in 1999 as a fee-for-service or cash-based practice to be able to care for my patients free of insurance restrictions. Awards, Titles, and Designations:

PT PRACTICE of the Year
INC 5000 List for Growing Companies


Other Tidbits of Info:

I have been a Physical Therapist for 27 plus years. During this time I have helped thousands of people recover from injury or exceed their fitness goals. I have developed a functional movement test and corrective exercise system that I have G.A.M.E. which stands for Graded Active Movement Exam. This system tests and corrects the body's initial sequence of movement which everyone has in common, from the Olympic Athlete to grandma. To be healthy, one has to move correctly. I am a baseball fanatic. I teach pitching and have developed a program called Velocity RX that helps baseball pitchers stay healthy. I do freelance work for the WWE. I was involved in one of their PPVs. The YouTube clip of the scene has over 42 Million views! I have two beautiful daughters. In my free time I like to golf, cook, camp, and dabble in the occasional woodworking project. I got into PT because I had a catastrophic knee injury at just 16 years old. I was sent to PT. That experience was horrible. I vowed that when I got out of PT school, I would do my best every day to care for my clients in the best way possible. After selling my last practice I should have been semi-retired. They don't teach you a thing about business in PT school. You have to learn by doing. I certainly did not make all the best business decisions, but, I did what I thought in my heart was the best at the time. Loyalty can certainly come back to bite you. When you want to move better with less pain, you need someone you can count on when it comes to Physical Therapy and Sports Training. I will help you be more active, improve your participation in recreational sports, and/or get you healthier!

🔥 The Truth About Neuropathy (That No One Else Will Tell You) 🔥

If you’re still using pills and creams for neuropathy, you’re wasting your time.
Those don’t heal anything — they just numb the problem.

Here’s the reality 👇
👉 Neuropathy happens when the coating around your nerves breaks down.
👉 The only way the body repairs itself is through blood flow.
👉 And the only technology proven to instantly increase blood flow is Shockwave Therapy.

These thermal images are real — taken right here at Perfect Motion Sports Therapy.
One single session… and blood flow skyrockets.
That’s healing in action — not hype.

If you have neuropathy, chronic pain, or a stubborn injury that won’t go away, your body is screaming for circulation.

We have the solution. Others don’t.
âś… No pills.
âś… No creams.
✅ Just results — fast.

📞 Call 978-651-1812 or DM “SHOCK” right now to schedule your consultation.

Because every day you wait, your nerves get worse — and healing gets harder.
You can fix this. Start today.

⚠️ “This is the Position They’re Promoting…” ⚠️

Classic Example of the Tommy John Injury Formula
👉 Drift + Drag + Shrug = INJURY

This is the exact position that destroys elbows.
• The center of gravity drifts too far forward.
• The back foot drags, breaking the kinetic chain.
• The shoulder shrugs, loading the elbow instead of the body.

Yet a player evaluation company is promoting this as “good mechanics.”
It’s not development — it’s damage in progress.

At Velocity RX, we teach athletes how to move scientifically — not stylistically.
That’s why our mission is simple: Save 1 Million Arms.

Another happy patient:
"Can't say enough about Kevin and VelocityRX! I chose Kevin because of his extensive PT background and priority on safety over velo. There is a way for players to increase velocity with minimal risk of injury. There is an epidemic of UCL tears occurring but there has never been a greater demand on velocity to play at the next level. These two things are on a collision course that is not acceptable. Kevin has delivered instruction and training methods that makes sense, are repeatable, and safe. My son has set personal best velocities on catcher pop time velo, infield velo and pitching velo of 2-3mph (variation based on position) in a little over 6 months of work with Kevin.

We are continuing our journey towards safe velo with him and can't wait to see how things go over the current season! Five stars all the way for VelocityRX!"

🚨 Stop the Drift. Stop the Drag. Stop the Shrug. 🚨
The Tommy John Injury Formula is real — and it’s ruining arms at every level.
If your pitcher’s mechanics look like this… it’s not a matter of if they’ll get hurt. It’s when.

At Velocity RX, we rebuild pitchers from the ground up using:
⚡ One-of-a-kind movement testing
⚡ Corrective drills that eliminate dangerous mechanics
⚡ Medically-based coaching built on science, not guesswork

đź’Ş The result?
Stronger, healthier, more dominant pitchers — and zero time lost to injury.

Heel pain in the morning?
It might be plantar fasciitis — but expensive orthotics aren’t the answer.

Most cases come from tight calves, weak foot muscles, and poor movement mechanics.

âś… Action Step:
âś… Stretch your calves
âś… Strengthen your foot intrinsics
âś… Work on glute and hip mechanics

Velocity is generated from your body. It’s especially generated from rotational forces around a single post. I call it the merry-go-round effect. A merry-go-round cannot generate rotational forces around two separate posts just like the human body cannot generate rotational forces with both feet planted. That is why dragging the back leg is not only bad for causing excessive layback and strain to your arm. it also kills your velocity. It’s basic physics. .

🎙️ This Week on The Velocity RX Podcast: Jason Colleran — Creator of The Kinetic Arm

“Layback” has been destroying shoulders for decades.
Here’s the truth 👉 True layback isn’t about cranking the arm 75° past its normal range of motion. That’s how elbows and labrums explode.

Real layback comes from:
• Thoracic extension
• Scapular depression
• Pectoral muscle extensibility

The Kinetic Arm was engineered to protect the shoulder by controlling excessive layback — and this week, Jason breaks down how it works, why it’s changing the game, and what every pitcher and parent needs to know.

Kevin's treatment solutions are so simple and show immediate results that can actually be measured. Dr. McGovern is a 1994 graduate of Northeastern University and a 2006 Doctoral graduate of Simmons College.
