Tim Fergason

My name is Tim Fergason. I was born on November 14th 1989. I own American Kempo Karate Academy. Being a martial arts instructor is my life long goal. Why do any of you who are reading this care? In 2012 I had hurt my back. Being younger and I guess kind of stupid, I didnt think anything of it. Well pain persisted and started shooting from my lower back down to my leg to my toes. It was agony. I couldnt teach, walk, and basically I had lost the ability to live my life. Well my chiropractor referred me to Shawn Cray physical therapy. He diagnosed me with a herniated disc in my lower back. An injury that does not "heal". However, with the help of Caroline Jess and Shawn himself they were able to lesson the pain after the first couple weeks. Shawn gave me some exercises to do on my own with regular stretching everyday. After my visits were over there was no more pain. They all gave me my life back. With this injury I never be 100%. But I will definitely take 90% with no pain. Over the years I have had random flair ups and he has been able to give me my life back time and time again. No only did I receive treatment but I made some excellent friends along the way. If anyone ever needs a physical therapist, Shawn IS the BEST.

If youve ever contemplated going to physical therapy in the past but havent-- whether its from the potential recurring cost, disappointment from a previous experience or that it didnt work... do yourself a favor and visit Cray Physical Therapy. Shawn is not only a master of his craft but hes down to earth and has your best interests at heart. He doesnt book for you weeks upon weeks of appointments just to bill you. I had one appointment. It was completely one on one for an hour. He didnt point me in the direction of machine, like other PTs have done in the past. He evaluated me, figured out what was causing the issue, helped educate me and gave me the necessary exercises to complete at home. He followed up. He helped me with lower back pain that had reoccurred and bothered me for years. I can happily say it has pretty much gone away in a few months. I attribute that to the right diagnosis and the treatment plan I was provided. If youre reading this and contemplating physical therapy just give the office a call and make an appointment. Youll be back writing a similar review soon.

Shawn and the rest of the staff at Cray Physical Therapy are amazing. They are extremely professional, and certainly have your best interest in mind. From the time that you speak with Caroline, until you are actually involved in your therapy, they make it so easy! I saw Shawn for a work related injury prior to surgery, and then again after surgery. His work ethic is outstanding, and so is the rest of the employees that work there. I love that they have a 1 on 1 approach when it comes to treating the patients, and also you are never left unattended which I feel is very important. The scheduling of appointments is very easy, as they are very flexible. Your treatment doesnt stop at the door when you leave Cray PT. They give you an at home plan to help with your rehab as well. I would highly recommend Shawn and his team to anyone who needed physical therapy. They are caring, knowledgable, and want to see you succeed in your healing!

I started seeing Shawn Cray for a rotator cuff injury a few months ago. He is now my PT post reconstructive knee surgery. I live in Needham where there are plenty of PTs who were referred to me by my surgeon, but I choose to travel to Braintree to see Shawn. What I love about him is his gentle approach to therapy. You go in because you are in pain. The last thing you want is to be in more pain in therapy. Yes, he challenges my body but he does it with a slow and gentle process. Also, I dont feel like Im on an assembly line of patients. Ive been to other "big name" multi location therapy offices and felt like I was just another patient with a number who needed to get in and out so my table could be free for the next person. At Cray, I feel taken care of and cared about. If you are in need of Physical Therapy, I highly recommend you go to Cray Physical Therapy. The entire staff will make you feel like you matter.

I just recently had ankle surgery and had Cray P.T. recommended by a friend. Awesome, professional, friendly. The office staff took care of everything from the get go. Very nice to deal with and they do a great job. Shawn, my physical therapist (and owner). He let me know what he was going to be doing, kept me engaged with the therapy, and was honest about my recovery and what would be involved, but most of all he made me feel like I was important to him and that getting me back on my feet was a priority for him and his staff. I was treated with respect at all times and while I knew there was pain coming in my recovery, Shawn did everything he could to mitigate it without risking making progress. I know physical therapy isnt fun and I know its in my best interests to work hard and deal with it as it comes, but most of all, Im glad I was recommended to this group of professionals. Im in damn good hands.

Shawn and his staff are fantastic. His 1:1 ratio throughout your entire physical therapy treatment is something that I think a lot of people take for granted but certainly sets his practice apart. I was having a slight issue with my shoulder, Shawn did a thorough exam, went through the issue I was having, showed me some exercises, had me do the exercises and then sent me on my way with instructions to continue doing the exercises at home. I was expecting couple of weeks of physical therapy but reassured me that it was a minor issue that would go away but simply following his exercises. If you need a physical therapist, Cray Physical Therapy is the place to go.

Cray PT is fantastic. Their approach is custom and Shawn and his team really listen. Years ago Shawn helped me with my lower back troubles - bulging discs, herniated discs, arthritis and stenosis. He got me moving back then and I know hell do it again. Just mid-way thru treatment and hes already restored my hope in mobility and eased some pain. With a chronic condition, Ive had experiences with several other PTs. I am so fortunate to have found Cray PT at the new Braintree location. Truly, Shawn and his teams approach is sincere, personal and the best by far. 5 stars isnt enough.

Cray PT and the people there are amazing. I came to Shawn after a work-related shoulder injury and worked with me to find the issues and help me correct them. They also offered me lots of advice for being proactive about preventing future discomfort. Thanks to them I am back to work without pain! As a massage therapist I also have referred Shawn and his practice without hesitation to my clients who have had great success in their rehab. Their professionalism and client-centered care are spot on when it comes to what people need for treatment.
