Our clinic, our standard.
We designed this clinic with intention. Soft lighting, a calm environment, no rushing. How you feel when you walk through the door matters just as much as what we do once you are in the room. Recovery Sports Therapy is a sensory-friendly clinic in Worcester, MA, built for people who need a different kind of care.
We know traditional clinics can feel loud and overwhelming, and for a lot of people, that gets in the way of healing before treatment even starts. Here, you get expert sports therapy in a space built around your comfort, not just your recovery.
The Recovery Team
We are a dedicated group of physical therapists and clinicians focused on providing specialized care for athletes and those managing complex connective tissue disorders.
Dr. Nicole Dumas
Founder & Lead Therapist
Dr. Nicole (Niki) Dumas started her career as a physical therapist assistant before earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Springfield College in 2012. She went on to become a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist and added her Dry Needling certification in 2018. After more than 15 years in the field of physical therapy, Dr. Niki decided to start her own practice so she could spend more time getting to know her clients. Dr. Niki completed her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2012 from Springfield College after spending several years as a physical therapist assistant. She continued her education in various methods of manual therapy and earned a certification in Dry Needling in 2018. One of the things that has shaped her practice the most isn't a credential. Niki has EDS herself. When she started paying attention to what that meant for her own body, she went looking for answers. She found that physical therapy had very little to offer people with connective tissue disorders, so she started learning everything she could. Not for a course or a certification, but because she needed to understand it for herself. Along the way, she realized there were a lot of people dealing with the same thing and finding the same dead ends. That became the foundation of Recovery Sports Therapy — a place where patients do not have to explain what EDS is, justify their pain, or wonder if their PT actually gets it.

Giana has worked at Recovery Sports Therapy since 2022. She works closely with doctors and patients to make sure everyone at the clinic gets the best care possible. She's spent over 10 years in the medical field, and helping people improve their health drives everything she does. Outside of work, Giana loves exploring New England on the weekends. She's happiest near the ocean, especially along the coast of Maine, and spends her free time with family, including her three cats. Giana lives with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome herself. That experience shapes how she treats every patient, with real empathy for the complex needs many of them face. She also uses her personal social platforms to raise awareness about the health challenges hypermobile patients deal with every day. Giana is also a Registered Dental Hygienist. That work has taught her to meet each patient with compassion, guidance, and education tailored to their needs. No matter which job she's in that day, her passion for helping people feel better shows in every interaction.
