ProEx Physical Therapy

Our story is a unique blend of friends and colleagues partnering together to grow a healthcare practice for all the right reasons. All ProEx partners are physical therapy professionals and we share a vision that is simple and effective: to operate a company that is clinically driven and focused on people–our patients, employees, referring clinicians, clients and vendors. Our goal is to consistently deliver clinical and service excellence. We believe that our mission ultimately has a positive impact on the physical therapy profession as a whole and benefits the most important people in the profession – our patients.

Our C.E.O & President, Michael J. Mulrenan, PT, founded Mulrenan Physical Therapy in 2001. Within a year, he expanded the business to a full-service wellness facility called Baystate Wellness Center. Baystate offered fitness memberships, personal training, sport training, pre/post natal fitness, massage, and nutrition services combined with a childhood obesity program called Early Start Nutrition & Fitness. The center laid the foundation to build the physical therapy practice and was well respected for its dedication to health and wellness for a wide range of community members. In 2002, Matt McManus, PT, a long time friend and colleague of Mike's, joined the practice. In 2005, Mike and Matt closed Baystate Wellness Center in order to focus their time and energy on building Mulrenan Physical Therapy.

Expanding to New Hampshire

In 2004, Joe Dattilo, PT, a fellow alumnus of Woburn High School and football teammate of Mike's, joined Matt and Mike to form Stratham Physical Therapy in Stratham, NH. Over a ten year period Joe built a strong reputation as one of the New Hampshire Seacoast's premier physical therapists. It was then that Joe sought out Mulrenan Physical Therapy to assist him with the administrative aspects of the practice. Stratham Physical Therapy took off and in 2005 they were joined by another partner, Steve Swasey, P.T.A. They opened a second location in 2007 in Epping, NH. Then in 2008, the clinic secured a long term relationship with the area's premier sports club, Seacoast United, as a result of a growing reputation. It was then that a third clinic was opened in Hampton, NH, within the sport club's indoor soccer facility.

New Clinics, New Name

Another long time friend and collegue, Eric Kopp, PT, a clinician and educator in the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts region, joined our partnership in November of 2007. That was the beginning of the formation of a more cohesive company — with Eric on board to lead the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts region under a new name: ProEx.

In March of 2008 our three existing practices officially came together as one company with one name - ProEx Physical Therapy. Since the name change, we've opened five new clinics, located in Haverhill, MA, Springfield, MA, Boston, MA (with a second Boston clinic coming soon), Middleton, MA and Somersworth, NH.

The foundation of our success lies within our people. The trust and shared vision among our partners sets the tone for our entire organization. Today, ProEx employs over 80 people in 9 clinics throughout New England. We are privileged to be able to affect the lives of so many patients and hope to continue that for a very long time.

The experience I had at ProEx was by far the best. The employees at ProEX Physical Therapy are true professionals.

Rocky Nelson Woburn High School Head Football Coach Woburn MA
Sometimes it's tough to get "back in the game" following an injury. I know that for a fact both personally and as football coach at Woburn High School. The team at ProEx Physical Therapy has become part of my team. Not only have I been treated there, but so have many of my current and former players who needed help working their way back from an injury. No question about it, the ProEx team is the best.

Steve Langone Retired professional baseball player from Reading, MA Reading MA
I've had a lot of shoulder and elbow issues. I suppose that's par for the course when you're a professional baseball player. I was a little concerned about my rehabilitation after surgery on my shoulder and elbow. You never know what kind of timeline you may be looking at before you get back into the game, but the incredible staff at ProEx Physical Therapy worked their magic. I got my strength and range of motion back much sooner than expected and, as a free agent, the sooner the better.

Over the years, both my husband and I have experienced our share of injuries and strains. While going through a painful and activity limiting episode can be frustrating, we have always been more than happy with the fantastic programs the staff at ProEx Physical Therapy has put together to assist with our rapid recovery. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. I guess you could say we're on "the family plan" at ProEx Physical Therapy and it's a family we're pleased to be a part of.

Jeanne Litchfield From Woburn, MA Woburn MA
Professional, personalized, positive. I can't think of a better way to describe my experience at ProEx Physical Therapy! I felt totally confident and comfortable with the knowledge and expertise of the entire staff. The physical therapists were thorough in assessing my specific PT needs and carefully customized an appropriate program for my visits to their facility. There was always a sincere interest in how I was doing and if I had any questions. They gave me practical advice for my everyday activities to maintain and enhance the progress I was making. I was also impressed that Matt McManus, my primary PT, communicated with my fitness center to modify my exercise routine there for a total recovery experience. I'm glad I had the freedom to select a physical therapy provider that suited me perfectly and am delighted I selected ProEx Physical Therapy. I have since recommended them to others (including my husband) who have the same positive feelings I do!



As we continue to grow and offer our unique brand of comprehensive Physical Therapy to more regions across New England, we pledge to uphold the ProEx Promise to each and every patient who steps through our doors. How can we help you feel better today?
