I met Guerrino through a friend, who recommended that I see him after a surfing accident a few years ago. He was great and super knowledgeable. I followed him to his new practice because having an active life, at least for me, means regular PT. We've been through sprained ankles, dislocated ribs, a sprained neck, muscle tears, and several knee surgeries.

Our mission is to provide functional rehabilitation using the latest research in physical therapy and biomechanics. We strive to provide excellent care and education to strengthen and empower our patients. Graduated from The University of Rhode Island in 2003 with his Masters in Physical Therapy. He went on to become a Fellow of Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute for Functional Transformation in 2008.
There are many different treatment styles in Physical Therapy, but no method is as all encompassing as Functional Biomechanics. This style addresses pain and dysfunction by assessing the body as a whole. Treating this way provides the practitioner with insight as to the underlying causes of injury and pain, therefore allowing the therapist to target treatments and address the origin of your problem.
We are happy to announce that Vestibular Rehabilitation will be added to our Specialty Services. View below on how Vestibular Rehab can help. The three main symptoms that qualify for Vestibular Rehab and Balance Therapy are dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance. Dizziness is the second most common complaint heard in doctor's offices.
Most insurances require a script from your physician for physical therapy. This can obtained from your general practitioner, chiropractor, nurse practitioner, or specialist (i.e. an orthopedic doctor). Please check your benefits for outpatient PT. Our office can check your these, but we often can't access all your information and therefore can't guarantee billing amounts.
We offer a select line of shoes and inserts that not only look good, but are good for your feet. We also offer consultation and gait assessment by appointment to find the perfect fit for you. The Yumi combines casual slip-on style and a PU nubuck upper with a technically inspired footbed for an unmatched level of comfort and support.

Form and Function was 100% Recommended by my Son's most expert Surgeon. And I learned why my surgeon put so much trust in this very professional PT practice--they are conscientious and expert. I am picky. So should you be when your, or a loved one's health is concerned. I shopped around and this practice has the professionalism and expertise you can count on.
My son had a very serious hip injury that needed surgery last year. I sought, and got the best surgeon in New England. What I most liked about this well recommended Dr was...he wanted to avoid surgery at all costs. He even went AGAINST his

Guerrino is absolutely amazing. I came in with hip pain that was persistent for over 6 months. I had multiple tests run by doctors and all came back normal. After a quick examination, Guerrino was able to diagnose my problem, provide exercises and a temporary lift. I am now back running and my hip has improved immensely. Guerrino is very knowledgeable, caring and invested in your recovery. I highly recommend anyone who needs a physical therapist go to Form & Function Physical Therapy.

I had a spinal fusion 25 years ago and had lived with chronic back pain for the last ten years because none of the four physical therapists I had seen could fix the problem. I was finally told that the plan for the rest of my life would be "long term pain management". I couldn't accept this fate and decided to try one last time to get help. That's how I met Guerrino. His "whole body" approach and the wide range of techniques he implemented were different from anything I had experienced to that point. And I am SO happy to say that thanks to his incredible knowledge and superior methods I am now
