Furnace Brook Medical Building

Furnace Brook Medical Building is a medical center in Quincy, MA, housing Furnace Brook Physical Therapy, an outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine clinic that has operated in the city since 1987. The clinic treats orthopedic and sports injuries, manages post-surgical rehabilitation, and offers specialized programs including aquatic therapy, dry needling, hand therapy, and running biomechanics analysis. Patients are seen by licensed physical therapists who design individualized plans of care to restore strength, mobility, and function. The clinic serves a broad range of clients, from post-operative patients and those managing chronic pain to high school, collegiate, and adult athletes, and it accepts referrals from physicians, colleges, and fellow therapists for its testing services.

The clinic features a 30-foot aquatic therapy pool with three depth tiers ranging from three-and-a-half to seven feet, allowing therapists to work with patients across a wide range of heights and weight-bearing restrictions. Since opening, the practice has used a Biodex Pro 4 unit daily for isokinetic strengthening and testing, making it one of the longstanding resources for return-to-sport predictive testing, agonist and antagonist muscle ratio analysis, and left-to-right comparative testing in the region. Furnace Brook PT also runs two signature performance programs: Raise the Roof, created in 2003 to reduce catastrophic knee injuries in female athletes through a six-week plyometric and balance regimen, and Rise and Run, which combines slow-motion gait analysis with Biodex strength testing and three-dimensional motion analysis. Hand therapy is provided by a Certified Hand Therapist with more than twenty-one years of experience, supported by a team that fabricates custom splints on site. Additional offerings include the Selective Functional Movement Assessment, which is incorporated into evaluations at no additional cost, and dry needling for muscle pain and movement dysfunction. The clinic is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The building sits on Furnace Brook Parkway, less than a tenth of a mile from Copeland Street, with Furnace Brook running roughly a quarter mile away. The Quincy Fire Department and the Copeland Street and Cross Street bus stop are both within a short walk.
