Business Profile: Center provides pediatric physical therapy with warmth, joy

Hopkinton native Daniel Cahaly recently moved back to town and opened the Hopkinton Pediatric Therapy Center, offering outpatient physical therapy services for children from infants to early adulthood.

Helping children of all ages make the physical gains they want and need in a welcoming atmosphere is the aim of Hopkinton Pediatric Therapy Center.

“I want to push kids to make their goals but also want them to feel warmth and joy, too,” said Daniel Cahaly, PT, DPT, who founded the center located at 77 Main Street in Hopkinton in September of 2024.

The center provides state-of-the-art, outpatient physical therapy services for youngsters from infants to young adults and now accepts MGB Health Plan, Cigna, MassHealth and Blue Cross Blue Shield insurances.

“We are in the process of applying to the other major Massachusetts carriers and hope to have more coverage soon,” said Cahaly. Hopkinton Pediatric Therapy Center also accepts private pay patients.

Discussing the therapy process, Cahaly said it begins with a detailed evaluation that usually takes a little more than an hour to complete.

“The family will walk away with a recommended plan of care, treatment schedule and some exercises to work on at home,” said Cahaly. He noted the 45-minute treatment sessions are usually done weekly, “but I work with parents to come up with a schedule that fits their needs and those of their child.”

Sessions are held in the center, which is located on the first floor of the building. It is fully accessible and convenient to restrooms and a water station.

“The gym is a warm environment outfitted with a treatment table, floor mats, trampoline, basketball hoop, mirror and a boatload of toys,” said Cahaly. And while the activities and treatments are geared to the age and needs of the patient, he noted, “I try to make all the work we do play-based therapy.”

Anyone who accompanies the patient is invited to watch the sessions from a comfortable couch in the gym. Cahaly noted: “I want parents to be involved in the treatment, so they can safely and efficiently continue the exercises at home.”

Born and raised in Hopkinton, Cahaly is happy to be back in town as he and his husband begin to raise their own family.

“It is good to be home again,” he said.

Earning his Bachelor of Science in biology from Providence College, Cahaly was awarded a doctorate of physical therapy from the MGH Institute of Health Professions in 2019. He began his career at Thom Neponset Valley Early Intervention, spending a year treating infants and toddlers in their home environments. Transitioning to outpatient pediatric care, he evaluated and treated children of all ages with various diagnoses at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown for two years as the outpatient pediatric physical therapist before moving to the Spaulding Center for Children in Sandwich.

“I love working with children and helping them get better,” said Cahaly. “While their clinical progress is always my main focus, I want them to be happy while they are here.”
