Dr. Stephanie Burns, founder of ReConnect Physical Therapy, brings over 14 years of experience as a physical therapist and a lifelong passion for movement to her practice. A former nationally ranked competitive dancer for 20 years, she was inspired to bridge the gap between medicine and performance — an approach she’s since applied to a diverse range of athletes, from Boston Ballet dancers, Boston Marathon runners and competitive golfers to equestrian riders, aerial artists, collegiate athletes, and Olympic coaches.

Although she enjoys working with elite athletes, she also has a strong passion for working with those who are in chronic pain, or those who are looking to learn more about their body. Her experience with the hypermobile population, starting with dancers, transformed her perspective, showing her that effective rehabilitation must address the whole body, posture, and the mind-body connection—not just a single symptom. At ReConnect, she takes time to explore each client’s unique story uncovering how past injuries and habits shape the way they move today. This approach allows her to help clients—from elite athletes to those living with chronic pain—relearn posture, activate muscles correctly, and restore balance in ways traditional PT often misses.

Stephanie holds a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Sacred Heart University and advanced certifications in Titleist Performance Institute, Dry Needling and Cupping, Pilates, Dance Medicine, and various Soft Tissue Mobilization Techniques. Her concierge, cash-based model allows her to focus on what matters most: one-on-one, individualized care designed to restore confidence and lasting results.

Stephanie finds her deepest reward in helping clients rediscover confidence and hope through movement. Her curiosity extends beyond the clinic—she studies and practices movement in all forms, enjoying dancing, Pilates, skiing and hiking. She continually is refining her craft. For her, physical therapy isn’t just a profession, but a lifelong passion.
