Raising the bar for sports and performance physical therapy in Portland, Maine.
Everybody is an athlete—and every athlete deserves expert care.
Don’t let your injury define you. Injuries affect more than just your physical health. They can impact confidence, identity, and relationships.
We understand the frustration that comes with pain and persistent injury. Our performance physical therapists complete thorough evaluations and collaborate with you to create a plan that fits exactly who you are—so you can get back to doing what you love.
Our 3-Step Process to Recovery
1. Improve — Your Comeback Starts Now
At your first visit, we focus on relieving pain and addressing its root cause through hands-on therapy and targeted exercises. We help restore mobility and strength so you can get back to training quickly.
2. Optimize
Once your pain has improved, we fine-tune movement patterns and correct underlying imbalances to reduce the risk of reinjury and boost performance.
3. Perform
We push you toward peak performance. Through sport-specific training, we help improve speed, strength, and endurance so you can perform at your best—pain-free and stronger than ever.
