Lots of new followers lately so wanted to come on and say hey! I’m Dr. Haley - Physical Therapist, Strength Coach, and owner of Empower Physical Therapy and Performance. In 2019, I founded Empower with the goal of creating a space where clients who were ready to invest in their health could thrive.

With a beautiful new flagship facility in Wakefield, and a satellite clinic within the amazing community of in Somerville, Empower is committed to doing physical therapy differently, helping clients to take their rehab journey to the next level to meet their lifestyle, performance, and athletic goals.

Here are some of our favorite things to help you with:
🟠 Getting back under the barbell after injury or under a barbell for the first time 🏋
🟠 Returning to sport after injury (whether you are returning to a lifting platform, a field, a court, the ice, or the stage, we’ve got you covered.) 🥅
🟠 Early, high quality rehab after an orthopedic surgery (ask about our post-op membership!) 🩼
🟠 Exercise programming and training to help you prevent injury and feel confident in all that life demands. 💪🏼
🟠 Strength training for bone health (building bone after stress fracture or an osteoporosis diagnosis) 🦴
🟠 Navigating the healthcare system so that you are advocating for yourself and confident in the decisions you’re making 🏥

For those of you who have been in the Empower community from day one, to those who just started following, thank you for being here. 🙏🏼

It’s been a bit since our last TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY! And Allison’s gives us all the feels.

Allison had been discharged from traditional PT and sought out our performance program to get to the next level and build confidence with lifting. But as a former athlete and physical therapist herself, she knew she wanted to work with a team of professionals who truly understood what she’d been through.

We’ve been humbled to help Allison get stronger, but also feel more empowered and confident both in the gym and in her day to day life.

And as a fellow OSU alum.. Go Bucks! ⭕️😉

Had the best collab session with these two! 🤝

Our client Jason came in for an end-stage assessment after finishing his rehab elsewhere for a shoulder dislocation. His goal is to compete in a Spartan race this fall without re-injuring his shoulder. On Friday, he brought his personal trainer Erica Garland to our session. We discussed the results from his strength and power testing and got to work on a collaborative plan to optimize shoulder stability and gradually progress into Spartan-specific challenges. 💪

At Empower, we love taking a team-based approach with trusted trainers and strength coaches in order to give our clients the best possible outcome. As a client, you’re always welcome to have your coach join our session!

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY!

Brendan sought us out for rehab in conjunction with his shockwave treatments with . He had trialed popular tendinopathy programs and self-management for well over 6 months without success. Through his consistency and our tailored approach, Brendan began to optimize his rehab program as well as his workouts to restart CrossFit. He’s now back to knee dominant movements and knows how to continue his progress for the future.

From day one, Empower has chosen to be out-of-network with insurance companies, allowing us to provide the highest level of care that involves one-on-one, performance focused rehab and greater freedom to carry out your care in a way that prioritizes your specific needs and goals. We continue to provide “superbills” for our patients to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We are proud to announce that we are now also offering complimentary claim filing, saving our patients the time and headache of having to go through this process themselves. Many of our patients with out-of-network benefits see anywhere from 60-90% of their out of pocket costs being reimbursed by insurance. We are thrilled to help you maximize your insurance benefits through , ensuring you receive the reimbursement you deserve.

If you do not have out-of-network benefits, FSAs and HSAs continue to work well for payment, as well as our discounted package rates. Link in bio if you’re ready to get started!

Amazing results for yesterday on force plate retesting! I’ve been collaborating with Coach Emily to optimize Shane’s program over the past year to prevent recurrent episodes of back pain. Over the past 6 months, he’s had almost complete symptom resolution and big improvements when we look at the data too! We retested his countermovement jump, squat jump, single leg jump, isometric mid thigh pull, and isometric squat. Across the board we saw marked improvements in:
✔️ Peak force
✔️ Reactive strength index
✔️ Rate of force development
✔️ Jump height
✔️ Limb symmetry

Great work Shane!! Teamwork (alongside time, consistency and effort) makes the dream work!
