Time over volume
One patient at a time, a full hour, the same therapist. Care that's rushed doesn't change how you move.
About the practice
A small clinic with one focus: keeping you playing.
TR PT and Performance was built for golfers and active adults who were tired of fifteen-minute appointments and cookie-cutter exercise sheets. From our studio on Pleasant Street in Winthrop, we combine orthopedic physical therapy with golf-specific screening and strength training under one roof.
Whether you're managing a stubborn low back, coming off surgery, or simply want twenty more yards without paying for it the next morning, the process is the same: measure, treat, train, retest.

How we work
What you can expect
Find the cause
Pain is the symptom. We test until we know what's producing it, then treat that — not just the sore spot.
Train, don't just treat
Rehab that ends at pain-free is unfinished. We keep going until you're stronger than before the injury.
Golfers get golfers
Your plan is written around tee times, league nights and the season — not a generic protocol.
Our neighborhood
Proudly based in Winthrop
We're minutes from East Boston, Revere and the Belle Isle Marsh, and an easy drive from downtown Boston — convenient for a session before a round at your home club.
