Meet Sandy, the office manager who spreads joy at the clinic from the minute you walk in the door!


Hi There!
My name is Charlotte Slate, a licensed physical therapist who is dedicated to helping people move better, feel stronger, understand their injury, and get back to the activites that bring meaning and joy to their lives.
A little bit about me, I received my doctorate in physical therapy from Simmons College in 2018., and I have been working in the field since then. I received my orthopedic clinical specialty in 2020. I have a diverse background in treating general orthopedics, spine, and in 2022, I shifted my focus to an upper extremity specialty, which involves the shoulder down to the hand. While the upper extremity is my favorite area to treat, I am well-versed in treating the whole body and the whole person! I greatly enjoy working with athletes to help them return to their game/sport with confidence, strength, and resiliance. I have extensive experience working with baseball pitchers, gymnasts, and football players, as well as many other upper extremity injuries in various athletic populations. I also enjoy working with motivated individuals post injury or surgery.
I believe that healing starts first and foremost with a good foundational relationship between the therapist and client, and understanding your story! This is why I take a holistic, patient centered approach to my care, addressing not only the injury, but also your lifestyle, movement patterns, and external factors that could be contributing. Whether you are recovering from a surgery, managing a chronic condition or new injury, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way. I would love to be a part of your story, so let’s set up a discovery call to see if we are a fit!
When I am not working, you can find me out and about with my sweet Golden Retriever Sandy, building up my side flower business, exercising, spending time with friends/family, traveling, and enjoying frequent visits to Cape Cod!
I look forward to connecting, and hearing your story!
