Barbell Therapy and Performance Tyngsboro

Dr. Brett is amazing. I was suffering from lower back pain due to using bad form during deadlifts. His assessment was very thorough and he gave me a new warm-up routine to activate my lower back muscles without triggering the pain. It's only been a week and I'm happy to say that I'm pain-free. Hopefully I can start lifting heavy again in a couple of weeks!

I had the chance to work with Brett in a semi private group training for power/Olympic lifting, as well as observe his PT skills over the last 5 months. I am very impressed with his level of knowledge and passion he brings to this field. He is very detail oriented and committed to helping patients/athletes reach their goals. In his group classes, he facilitates a friendly environment and always pushes everyone to work at their highest potential. In regards to the physical therapy side of his practice, he brings a very forward thinking and progressive mindset that is a valuable asset to the future of this field. He works very hard to further his own knowledge and skills in order to bring the best care to his patients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brett to anyone whether they are seeking PT, improving their physical fitness or both.

Brett has been my powerlifting coach for the past year. Before I started training with him I had been experiencing back pain from lifting with bad form. His programming and expertise got me to the point where I was no longer in pain or uncomfortable. In the past year I’ve added significant weight to all of my lifts on top of losing 40lbs of body weight. He’s also guided me with nutrition and has helped me have a more positive relationship with food. If you’re looking for a coach, this is your guy.

I highly recommend Brett for physical therapy. Recently I was suffering frompain in my lower spine and I was unable to practice my sport (I am a shot putter), so I looked for options to find relief. My first stop was a chiropractor, which helped for a few days, but then my pain came back even stronger than before. I then decided to go to Brett for a more in depth analysis of the problem and he was able to identify the source of my pain. Not only did he figure out why the pain was occurring, but he gave me corrective exercises that helped me feel like I was playing a role in my recovery. After only a few days my pain was totally gone and I was able to return to practice and then head off to college, where I compete at a Division 1 level. To this day I still use his exercises to prep my body for movement and exercise and I have been feeling great!I have been working with Brett for over a year in the weight room, which has taken me from entry level in a sport to at the pinnacle level. Not only is Brett great at supporting people, but he is aware of how each person is different. Brett is willing to work with each individual for a common goal of making them move in a better and safer manner, which allows him to provide help to a variety of people. If you are looking for someone to help with pain or stiffness or even just feeling better overall, I highly recommend Brett and Barbell Therapy!

I highly reccommend coming to Brett with any of your exercise, PT, programming, rehab needs! I have been working with Brett for the past 6 months and have made immense progress. Brett does individual programming for me to meet my goals and also work on all of my weaknesses.When I have injured myself, I have used Brett for PT and he is phenomenal in that area as well. With a strong knowledge base and constantly learning new techniques/keeping up with new knowledge I know I am in great hands.Brett understands and preaches that health and rehab is not one or two sessions and boom you are all fixed, but is a process that requires education, persistence and a desire to be better.See Brett and you are in great hands.

Brett is the best. He has helped me greatly with many injuries from weightlifting and mobility issues. His knowledge on mobility and proper technique while lifting are great. He is extremely caring and thorough. I would recommend anyone I know that needs physical therapy or help with mobility issues or recovery to go see Brett at Barbell Therapy!!

I went to Brett for some debilitating lower back pain I was experiencing after hurting it deadlifting. He was very thorough researching when the pain started, confirming the problem areas, inspecting my range of motion, pain level, comfort with movements before the session. After working with me for an hour, my back felt significantly better. I could now drive and even exercise without the insurmountable pain I was in. Brett also have me some exercises I could do on my own as a warm up before training or during to keep the tension at bay. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or pressured during my visit.10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Would highly recommend, especially for strength athletes that need sport-specific PT. I went to Barbell Therapy for hip pain that had been plaguing me for over a year. I'm a powerlifter and could tell the pain was training-related; I'd tried a different PT clinic but didn't see much improvement. When I went to Barbell Therapy, Brett was quickly able to identify form issues and muscle imbalances that were contributing to the problem, and gave me the cues I needed to fix my technique as well as corrective stretches/exercises. He worked with me on my competition squat and bench over the course of several sessions -- this really stood out considering my previous PT never once even watched me squat with a bar. After working with Brett, I'm finally able to move forward with training without pain.

Very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and highly skilled therapist. I have been working with Brett for over 3 years now. I first started working with Brett for personal training. After a back injury I started working with him as my physical therapist. I am always impressed and satisfied with services received; he takes the time to explain the causes of symptoms and pains and explains what needs to get worked on, why and how to safely go about it. My back pain is much more controllable and less frequent and I am much stronger than before we started working together. I would recommend anyone suffering from joint pain, an injury, or looking to step up his or her training gives Barbell Therapy a call.

Working with Brett has been fantastic. After a subpar experience working with a multi-location PT Facility I turned to Brett for help, and results/recovery ensued immediately.I've been seeing him for a shoulder injury that has severely affected my lifting program - Brett took his time diagnosing the issue and explained it in terms that made it easy to understand. Further, he developed a progressive rehabilitation plan entirely customized to my injury. Best of all, his sessions are 1 on 1 so I don't have to wait between exercises or work with a different person each time I go.If you've tried conventional PT facilities you owe it to yourself to check out Barbell Therapy. The cost is almost identical to what you'll pay anywhere else but the value add is easily worth double what you get elsewhere.I went to the multi-location PT facility for 2 months with sessions 2x/week - didn't see much improvement. I've seen Brett for 1 month, 1x/week and the results have been far better.
