WELCOME TO THE HDPT FAMILY!
Dr. Antonella Martone imparts her genuine and spirited personality on each and every patient. She is known for her attentive, analytical and ardent rehabilitative treatment style. Antonella’s patients are instantly put at ease by her reassuring and compassionate nature, and she continually puts forward valued, comprehensive and rewarding therapeutic outcomes.
Antonella Martone grew up in Saugus, MA and graduated from Austin Preparatory School in Reading, MA. As an honor roll student, she was a member of the Spanish Club and played soccer until she hurt her leg, requiring physical therapy.
Antonella attended Merrimack College in North Andover, MA. She went to the School of Health Sciences majoring in Athletic Training. She gained valuable clinical experience through training the Merrimack football, baseball, field hockey and men’s soccer DII teams, as well as through clinical rotations with Andover High School boy’s basketball team and Melrose High School athletic teams. While at Merrimack, Antonella also was a lab instructor for Acute and Emergency Care teaching skills such as splinting, assessing vital signs and spine boarding.
After graduating with her Bachelor of Science degree in athletic training and passing her board exams to become licensed, Antonella started working as a research assistant studying the breakdown of data and correlations for a gait analysis research initiative (“The Relationship between Gait Biomechanics, Selected Lower Extremity Strength, Static Lower Extremity Measures and Injury History in Division II Collegiate Middle to Long Distance Runners” conducted by Andrew Cannon MHS, PT, SCS, CSCS PT and Kevin Finn EdD, ATC, CSCS.) She also began working for an outpatient rehabilitation company in North Andover. There she was an Athletic Trainer and Rehab Aide assisting staff physical therapists and providing per diem coverage of area high school athletic events, including games, practices and training room treatments.
Wishing to further her career, Antonella began the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, NH. Her clinical rotations included working as a student PT at LRGH Hillside Medical Park treating and evaluating patients with varying diagnoses, at the pro bono clinic at Plymouth State treating in the local community for the DPT program’s “Panther PT” clinic, and at area inpatient and outpatient physical therapy practices treating and evaluating different patient populations. She also performed volunteer functional movement screenings (FMS) for middle school physical education students as part of various research studies, as well as worked with the Granite State Adaptive Sports program assisting children with Down’s syndrome and autism rock climb.
Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Antonella’s DPT program transferred to remote learning for the final year. However, fortunately during her time at home, she began working at HDPT as a rehab aide. Upon her graduation and gaining her physical therapy license, Dr. Martone stayed with us and began treating patients at HD Physical Therapy in August of 2021.
Dr. Martone has a license to practice physical therapy and athletic training in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is certified in CPR, First Aid and AED and is fluent in Italian and intermediate Spanish. Antonella currently resides in Boston, MA.
Outside of work, Antonella enjoys working out, especially running, watching and playing soccer, traveling, the beach, summer and tequila!
2021 has flown by and the holiday season is here again. Unfortunately, this can mean added stress, plus aches and pains. Here are just a few tips to stay on track with your health over the holidays while still enjoying all that the season has to offer.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services Facts &
Statistics on physical activity, more than 80% of Americans do not get
enough physical activity despite the proven benefits, such as a reduced
risk of some cancers and chronic diseases, as well as improved bone
health, cognitive function, weight control and quality of life. As a
result, half of adults, 117 million people, have one or more chronic
diseases.
Whatever barriers may be preventing you from enjoying the many important
health benefits of physical activity, physical therapists can create a
safe and effective program to get you moving. We are movement experts
who improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education and
prescribed movement. PTs design physical activity plans for people of
all ages and abilities specific to your needs, challenges and goals. We
work together, and collaborate with other members of your health care
team, to maximize your movement and empower you to be an active
participant in your care.
Choose move
movement. Choose better health. Choose physical therapy.
The HDPT offices in Wakefield and Burlington have no waiting lists, are
conveniently located right off major highways, have accessible hours, support

Your doctor's office may be very busy right now and there are many reasons for this. People who delayed medical care as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are now returning to doctors’ offices, sometimes with exacerbated symptoms and conditions. Summer-related activities – vacations, backyard barbecues, pool parties, car trips, and more time spent outside in the sun and heat (when it's not raining) – frequently lead to accidents requiring medical attention. Plus, families with school-aged children are scheduling school physicals, procedures and visits before the school year resumes.
HD Physical Therapy announces that May 15, 2021 marked the company's 9th anniversary!
In May of 2012, HDPT co-founders Ed Harding, PTA
and Dr. Glenn R. D'Addario, MSPT, DPT, set out to create an exceptional place
where they could be of service to as many people as possible. After nine years,
they are very proud and excited to be accomplishing just that. Through
diligence and dedication, their clinic has grown from the 3 staff members it
opened with, to over 25 employees. Most importantly, they have been able to
help thousands of patients. They have also mentored numerous high school and
physical therapy students. They make many appearances at area health fairs, high
schools, colleges and community events, as well as contributed to numerous
local charities and their events. In 2013, they received national recognition
for their overall success by winning ADVANCE Magazine's "Best PT
Practice" silver medal, and in 2015 they were named the Wakefield
Lynnfield Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year.
In response to their continued growth and success, they expanded their business
and opened a second HDPT location at 99 South Bedford Street, Suite 6, in
Burlington, MA in November of 2017.
"As always, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our referrers and
advocates for helping make HDPT's ninth year an ongoing success, especially
through a global pandemic" said CEO & co-founder Ed Harding.
"Thank you for continuing to support our family-owned small business, for
sending us patients and for giving HDPT such a positive community presence. As
we continue to grow and expand, we know that we would not be where we are today
without the enduring encouragement of our friends and family," said
Harding. "In the last 9 years, we have helped a lot of people, and had a
lot of fun doing it. Glenn and I sincerely hope to be able to continue that for
as long as we can!"
The HDPT offices in
Wakefield and Burlington have no waiting lists, offer same-day appointments,
