The Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the growth of Blackstone Valley Physical Therapy Services (BVPTS) on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at 12:30pm. The ceremony will take place at the practice’s location at 98 Canal Street, #2, Blackstone, MA 01504.

For 36 years Blackstone Valley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. has been an independent, physical therapist-owned, private practice that has been serving the residents of the Blackstone

Valley; helping them get back to the activities they want and need to do in the office, at home, or on the field. With the main office located in Whitinsville, BVPTS accepts most major insurances and offers a Wellness Program for individuals to work out on their fitness equipment, as well as an Aquatics Program in conjunction with the Whitin Community Center. We also offer many other services, such as Dry Needling, Laser Therapy, and Blood Flow Restriction Training to maximize the potential of all their patients and clients.

“I’m thrilled to be able to expand our style of treatment closer to southern residents of the Blackstone Valley. It took a while to find the right location and get it built out, but we can now provide convenient access to evidence based physical therapy locally,” says owner, Eric Connolly, MSPT. “I’m proud to lead Blackstone Valley Physical Therapy Services’ second location in Blackstone and bring our approach to care closer to the Blackstone and Millville communities,” said clinic manager, Mitch Goldman, adding, “My goal is to build lasting relationships within the community while providing accessible, high-quality physical therapy that helps local residents move better, stay active, and achieve their individual health and wellness goals.”

“It’s wonderful to see BVPTS continuing to grow and expand its reach in our community. Having been a thriving part of Whitinsville’s business community, right next door to the Chamber, it’s especially exciting to celebrate this next chapter with the opening of its new Blackstone clinic. Congratulations to the entire BVPTS team, and we wish you continued success!” said BVCC Program and Events Director, Kristen Kearnan.

After some delays, the new clinic opened in September and in November added a second therapist, Dr. Meghan Lydon, PT, DPT to accommodate the number of patients seeking treatment. For more information on the Blackstone Clinic, please call 508-928-7544 or visit their website at www.bvpts.com.
