Performance Physical Therapy in Yarmouth, ME
One-on-one care for active adults across southern Maine. designed around your goals, focused on getting you back to the activities that matter to you.
What is Performance Physical Therapy?
Performance physical therapy doesn't look like the PT you've done before. It assumes your goals don’t stop at pain-free. It's the activity, the season, the next decade of doing what you do.
Sessions happen in the gym, not in a treatment cubicle. Our focus will be around the work that translates directly to your sport, your training, your life. We will engage in movement that meaningfully supports your goals.
Treatment is always 60-minutes and one-on-one. Plans are built around what you're trying to get back to, not around what insurance will cover. And the work doesn't end when the pain does. It ends when you're stronger and more durable than you were before the injury.
It's what physical therapy should be. Rooted in your goals, shaped around your life.
Who We Work With
We work with a broad range of active adults who want more from physical therapy than the typical experience. The thread isn't competition or sport — it's that physical activity is part of how you live, and you don't want to lose access to it.
Runners
We help runners train through, return from, and prevent the injuries that keep them off the road or trail. From flare-ups to gait work to long-term durability, the focus is on keeping you running and come back stronger than before.
Beyond Physical Therapy, we offer run programming, gait analysis, and run coaching.
Triathletes
Triathlon demands more from your body than most sports, and not all PT is built for it. We work with triathletes across all three disciplines: managing load across swim, bike, and run, addressing the imbalances unique to multi-sport training, and building the body that handles the volume.
Beyond Physical Therapy, we offer multi-sport programming, gait and swim analysis.
Hybrid athletes
HYROX. Functional fitness. Hybrid training.
We help hybrid athletes balance strength, conditioning, and recovery in a way that lets you keep pushing without breaking.
Beyond physical therapy, we offer hybrid-specific programming and strength work tailored to your training mix.
HIKERS, Skiers, CYCLISTS, & SWIMMERs
Endurance comes in a lot of forms. Whether you're chasing summits, long miles in the saddle, or open water, we help endurance athletes build the foundational strength and movement quality that keeps the miles sustainable.
Beyond physical therapy, we offer endurance programming and strength work designed around your sport.
Power Lifters + Strength athletes
We work with lifters who want to train hard, train smart, and stay under the bar. The focus is on technique that protects you, programming that progresses you, and addressing the small issues before they become season-ending ones.
Beyond physical therapy, we offer strength programming and technique work.
Recreational Sport Athletes
Golfers, tennis players, pickleball players, hockey players, and more
We help you keep playing the games you love, season after season, without your body becoming the limiting factor.
Beyond physical therapy, we offer sport-specific programming for preseason prep, in-season maintenance, and off-season development.
Youth Athletes
We also work with high school and youth athletes, helping them build movement habits early that serve them for years to come.
Beyond physical therapy, we offer sport-specific programming for preseason prep, in-season maintenance, and off-season development.
Every plan of care moves through three phases, but the work inside each phase is shaped by who you are and what you're trying to do.
Our Approach
Understand: become an expert in your own body
The first visit is longer than what most physical therapy looks like. Before any treatment, we spend substantial time on what brought you in: how the issue started, what's been tried, what your training looks like, what your body has been telling you, and what you're trying to get back to. We do a thorough movement assessment, and talk you through what we’re finding. By the end of that first visit, you'll have a deeper understanding of what's actually going on, why it's happening, and what the path forward looks like. Most clients tell us this is the first time someone has taken time to explain what’s going on.
This is where the bulk of the work happens. Sessions are 60 minutes, one-on-one, and structured around movement that supports your goals — not theraband circuits. We pair manual treatment with the strength work that builds capacity, the mobility work that opens range, and the loading patterns that translate to your sport or activity. Between sessions, you have a plan to follow, and you'll know exactly why you're doing each piece of it. As you progress, the work shifts from getting you out of pain to building the buffer that keeps you out of it.
Rebuild For what comes next
The end of Rebuild isn't the end of the relationship. We map out a long-term plan that's yours, designed around what you want to keep doing. Some clients come in monthly to keep the work fresh. Others come in when something starts feeling off. The point is that the door stays open, and that you're not starting over each time something comes up. The Long Game is where the work shifts from problem-solving to staying ahead, and building on what you’ve already done.

FAQs
Do you take insurance?
1
No, we're an out-of-network provider. We can provide a superbill upon request that you may choose to submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. We recommend calling your insurance company before your first visit to ask about your out-of-network physical therapy benefits.
Do I need a referral?
2
No. One of the benefits of working outside of insurance is that you don't have to wait on a referral or other paperwork to start. You can book directly.
Can I work with you if I’m already working with another PT or coach?
3
Plenty of our clients have a coach, a chiropractor, or another provider they work with regularly. We're happy to coordinate when it makes sense and stay in our lane when it doesn't. The discovery call is the easiest way to figure out whether we are a right fit for you and your needs.
Do I have to commit to a certain number of visits?
4
Every client scenario is individual, and we will make recommendations on the number of visits and frequency of visits during our initial evaluation.
