Winthrop commuters funnel through Route 1A and the Sumner and Callahan tunnels every day, a corridor with more than its share of rear-end collisions, so whiplash and post-accident neck and back pain are a steady part of what we see from the town. If any of that sounds familiar, you're far from alone. These everyday demands are exactly what turns a minor ache into a persistent problem when they go unaddressed, and they're a big part of why a local, individualized approach works better than generic advice.

Dr. Bromberg uses Active Release Technique, a patented movement-based system that targets damaged or restricted soft tissue. By applying tension while the patient moves through specific ranges of motion, adhesions break down, scar tissue releases, and normal function returns to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.

Frozen shoulder, ART therapy
ART is a patented, hands-on soft tissue treatment that targets overused muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It combines precise tension with patient movement to break adhesions.
You may feel some discomfort as adhesions are released, but it shouldn't be unbearable. Most patients describe it as "good pain" that leads to immediate relief.
Anyone with soft tissue pain: athletes, office workers with repetitive strain, post-surgical patients, and people with chronic muscle tightness.
Many patients notice improvement after just one session. A typical course is 4-6 sessions depending on the condition.
