WAKEFIELD, Mass. - BostonChron -- HD Physical Therapy is happy to announce two new physical therapists have joined the HDPT team! Please welcome Dr. Devin Thompson, DPT and Dr. Alex Henderson, DPT.

Dr. Devin Thompson's interest in physical therapy developed after completing treatment following an injury he sustained playing college basketball. While rehabbing to return to his own sport, Devin intuitively recognized the important connection between physical health and mental performance. He understood that you could improve your athletic ability by maximizing your body's mental functioning. By helping athletes perform at their physical best, Dr. Thompson also helps his patients focus on motivation, confidence, intensity, focus and mind state, which are all needed to achieve success. This thought process applies to all of Devin's patients, not just athletes. Physical and mental health are inseparably interconnected within everyone's overall health and well being and Dr. Thompson consistently helps people remain active, engaged and independent, so they can get back to feeling their best.

Dr. Alex Henderson's draw to physical therapy developed following multiple knee surgeries and rehabilitation for a dislocated patella as a child. This personal experience influenced his interest in the use of self-management strategies for people with persistent musculoskeletal disorders. Dr. Henderson uses customized support, targeting biomechanical, psychosocial and individual characteristics to improve function. He teaches people self-management skills including problem solving, decision-making, resource utilization, action planning, self-tailoring, self-monitoring and creates a supportive, patient-health professional partnership. He fosters these partnerships by developing lasting relationships with people. Positive interactions with patients are what genuinely fuel his happiness as a physical therapist; building rapport through an active listening communication style and a nonjudgmental approach consistently creates a fruitful and fulfilling experience for everyone he works with.

"We welcome Devin and Alex to the HDPT family. We are confident they will immediately increase our ability to provide better care to even more people," says Dr. Glenn R. D'Addario, MSPT, DPT, President & co-founder of HD Physical Therapy. "I look forward to working together, learning from each other and seeing how much further we can grow HDPT all together."
