Why Work With Us
A Practice Where Clinicians Come First
Community Physical Therapy is led by Physical therapist Angelo Balsamo, and Dr. Sherlyn Fenton, whose shared vision was to create a clinician-owned practice where quality care always comes before patient volume. Founded by passionate therapy professionals, our clinic was built on the belief that personalized, one-on-one care leads to better outcomes for both patients and clinicians. That philosophy shapes everything about how we work, including how we support our team. You won't be handed a stack of generic exercise sheets and told to rush through high patient volumes. Instead, you'll have the time, respect, and clinical freedom to develop customized treatment plans, collaborate closely across PT and OT disciplines, and deliver lasting results. Our integrated approach means you're always treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis—making every day more rewarding for you and every outcome more impactful for your patients.
Our Culture
Collaborative, Patient-First, and Built to Last
We opened our doors in July 2022 with a clear mission: provide the kind of hands-on, personalized care that corporate rehabilitation mills simply cannot match. That mission has not changed. Our team works across a broad range of clinical areas, including pain management, vestibular rehabilitation, work injury programs, auto accident recovery, dry needling, connective tissue disorders, sports performance, and pre and post surgical rehabilitation. You will work alongside experienced clinicians who genuinely collaborate, share knowledge, and invest in each other's growth. We keep caseloads manageable so that the same therapist sees the same patient every visit. That consistency is the foundation of our clinical model, and it is also what makes working here feel different from anywhere else.
Your Questions Answered
What to Know Before You Apply
Who owns and runs Community Physical Therapy?
Community Physical Therapy is owned and operated by Dr. Sherlyn Fenton, Doctor of Occupational Therapy, and physical therapist Angelo Balsamo, who co-founded the practice together in 2022. Because our clinic is therapist-owned, clinical decisions are made directly by the providers delivering your care—not by outside investors or corporate managers. This structure ensures our focus stays entirely on exceptional patient outcomes rather than maximizing daily appointment quotas.
Will I see the same therapist at every appointment?
Yes. One of the core commitments at Community Physical Therapy is that you work with the same highly experienced therapist at every single visit. This is intentionally different from larger corporate clinics where patients are frequently handed off between staff members. Seeing the same clinician consistently means your therapist develops a thorough understanding of your progress, can make precise adjustments to your plan, and builds the kind of therapeutic relationship that supports better outcomes over time.How do Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy work together at this clinic?
Physical Therapy focuses on the biomechanical and physical side of recovery, such as restoring strength, improving range of motion, and addressing pain at its source. Occupational Therapy bridges the gap between physical healing and real-world function, helping patients regain the ability to perform daily activities like dressing, cooking, or returning to work. The two disciplines work together at Community Physical Therapy to treat the whole person, which is particularly valuable for patients recovering from neurological events, surgery, or complex injuries.What kinds of conditions does Community Physical Therapy treat?
The clinic treats a wide range of conditions across ten service areas: pain management, balance therapy, mobility rehabilitation, work programs, work injuries and workers' compensation, auto accident rehabilitation, pre and post surgical rehabilitation, dry needling, connective tissue disorders, and sports performance. Specific conditions include back pain, vertigo and BPPV, whiplash, joint replacements, stroke recovery, TMJ, traumatic brain injury, sports injuries, and workplace-related injuries, among others.Is physical therapy a realistic alternative to surgery or injections?
For many patients, yes. Community Physical Therapy positions conservative care as a meaningful option before pursuing invasive procedures. PT is significantly less expensive than surgery and carries none of the risks associated with neurological disorders, infection, anesthesia, or extended surgical downtime. The clinic also offers prehabilitation for patients who do plan to have surgery, helping them build strength and prepare their body in advance so that post-operative recovery is faster and more effective. Whether you are trying to avoid surgery or preparing for it, the clinic can build a plan around your specific goals.
How far do patients typically travel to reach the Hanover clinic?
The clinic is located in Hanover, MA, and serves patients from across the South Shore region. Many patients come from surrounding communities who are looking for a therapist-owned, patient-first practice as an alternative to larger corporate rehabilitation centers. The clinic welcomes patients from throughout the region and can help you determine if the location is a practical fit for your care.When did Community Physical Therapy open, and what sets it apart from corporate clinics?
The practice was incorporated in March 2022 and opened to patients in July 2022. What sets it apart from corporate rehabilitation clinics is its ownership structure, care model, and clinical philosophy. Corporate clinics often prioritize high patient volume and use rotating staff. Community Physical Therapy operates on the opposite model: therapist ownership, one-on-one care with the same clinician every visit, integrated PT and OT collaboration, and customized treatment plans built around movement analysis rather than generic exercise protocols.
