Tami Recesso, PT, DPT

Physical therapist

I am a physical therapist licensed in NH and Massachusetts having built well-respected physical therapy private practices in 2001, 2018, and 2020. I have grown my business into one of the most successful PT practices in the Merrimack Valley, with locations in Plaistow, NH and Newburyport, MA. My staff and I are the providers that the physicians lean on trusting us with their most complex clients who have been unsuccessful with other medical providers. Thanks to my commitment and passion for manual therapy spine care and having over 28 years of clinical experience I have developed an innate skill of quickly deducing the culprit of pain and successfully resolving it permanently and efficiently. I have created an online medical platform called DocTami.com that offers an assessment tree to simplify complex differential spine related conditions. My mission is to share my clinical knowledge with the world and raise the bar of Physical Therapy provider autonomy, efficiency, expertise, and outcomes. I look forward to supporting you!
