Rebound Physical Therapy comes to Longfellow Wellesley; Plus, Splash time is near

 
Longfellow Wellesley has welcomed Rebound Physical Therapy to its club. Rebound has long been a partner at Longfellow’s Natick location.

Rebound offers everything from aquatic therapy to wellness screenings to gait analysis.

splashAlso at Longfellow Wellesley, the business is making serious progress on its outdoor aquatics area, dubbed Splash. The business located at 140 Great Plain Ave., next to the Babson Skating Rink, has announced that the town has approved permits for its multiple outdoor pools. Construction has started and the target opening date is June 15.

“Many of you have enjoyed watching the demolition of the former outdoor aquatics center, and we think you’ll have even more fun peeking through the fence as Longfellow Splash starts to take shape!” according to the business.

Beyond Wellesley: Crowdfunding campaign to help Charlie’s Kitchen recover from water damage

 
When we venture beyond Wellesley into Harvard Square, Charlie’s Kitchen is a regular stop. Unfortunately, the restaurant has been shut down recently due to what they’re calling  “a catastrophic leak and extensive water damage.”

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the staff, currently without work and income.
