Paul M. Ghostlaw, PT graduated from Ithaca College in 1990. After becoming board certified in New York, he moved to Boston and has since focused his entire career in orthopedic and sports medicine physical therapy. In 2001, Paul started Beantown Physio, Inc. in Brookline. In 2006, the West Roxbury location was opened. As a high school athlete, Paul realized his professional goal was to be a part of the athletic arena in any way possible. Subsequently, he directed his education at the collegiate level towards a profession that would allow him to assist those individuals who were anxious in returning back to their sport. Since then, Paul has been able to assist individuals of all professions and ages back to work, activities, or sports. Paul’s clinical interests are the rehabilitation and management of post-surgical and non-surgical knee, shoulder, spine, ankle, and hip dysfunction. Having endured multiple open knee operations himself, he understands what patients are coping with as they attempt to rehabilitate back to full function.

In addition to his practice, Paul enjoys giving back to the community and his profession by means of charities and educational presentations, both here in the U.S. and abroad. Paul resides in Walpole with his wife Beth and their two boys, Bruce and Cayden. Tikka, the 9-year-old Vizsla, is the canine anchor of the homestead. As for hobbies, Paul is an avid sports fan and a travel enthusiast.
