We’re proud to be a part of the Pinnacle Rehabilitation Network 🌟

As a group of independently owned clinics across New England—with 10 right here in Maine—we’re able to stay true to our local roots while collaborating as a team to deliver the highest level of care.

Being part of a network means our patients benefit from shared knowledge, proven treatment approaches, and a community of clinicians who are constantly learning from one another. It allows us to stay up-to-date, offer more well-rounded care, and ultimately help you recover faster and get back to what you love.

For you, that means:
✔️ Consistent, high-quality care
✔️ Access to a wider range of expertise
✔️ A team that’s always improving

We’re stronger together—and that directly benefits every patient we serve.

Throwback Thursday: PT Edition 💪🏼

Before the degrees, the clinic, and the constant “one more rep”… we looked like this.

🌟 Meet the team — baby photo edition.

Yes, these are the same people who:
• tell you your posture needs work
• hand you resistance bands like it’s a personality trait
• say “this is the last one” (it’s not)
• and somehow run the whole clinic

One year ago today we opened our doors, and what a year it’s been 🤍

To our incredible patients — thank you for trusting us with your care. To the providers who refer to us, collaborate with us, and support our mission — we’re so grateful. And to our family and friends who cheered us on (and helped behind the scenes more than anyone knows) — this wouldn’t have happened without you.

A huge thank you to Pinnacle Rehabilitation Network for your guidance, support, and partnership throughout this journey. We truly appreciate being part of such a strong community.

Year one was about building the foundation. Year two? We’re just getting started ✨

Thank you for being part of our story — we can’t wait to see what this next year brings!

We had an amazing turnout for our Balance & Fall Prevention Workshop today 🙌

Thank you to everyone who came out and invested in your health and safety. It was such a great group!

We:
✔️ Performed balance tests to help determine individual fall risk
✔️ Learned simple, effective exercises to improve strength and stability at home
✔️ Talked about why falls happen and why they become more common as we age

Kim led an educational session breaking down the why behind falls — from strength and reaction time to vision and sensory changes. Andrew followed with a powerful discussion on confidence, fear of falling, and how our mindset directly impacts balance and movement.

Falls aren’t just about strength — they’re about awareness, preparation, and confidence. The more we understand, the more control we have.

If you couldn’t make it but want to learn your fall risk or work on your balance, we’re here to help. 💪

Jumping on the caricature trend because rehab doesn’t have to be boring 😎🎨

But here’s the real message behind the fun…

✨ We’re here to help — and we currently have NO waitlist.

Have pain and want to be seen this week?
👉 You got it.

Tweaked your back?
Shoulder acting up?
Knee flaring after a workout?

Feeling dizzy and not sure how to get your vertigo to calm down?
👉 Don’t wait it out. Give us a call and get in this week.
Early treatment matters. The sooner we assess what’s going on, the sooner we can:
✔️ Calm symptoms down
✔️ Restore mobility
✔️ Build strength and stability
✔️ Prevent small issues from becoming big ones

Physical therapy isn’t just for post-surgery or severe pain. It’s for the “this doesn’t feel right” moments too.
If something feels off — let’s address it now instead of months from now.

📞 Call us today at 207-200-4400 and let’s get you moving better, faster.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Star Friday!

Huge thank you to Louise for the kind words and for trusting us with your care. It was such a pleasure working with you and being part of your journey!

One thing we talk about a lot: you don’t have to be in pain to benefit from physical therapy.

Sometimes it’s not pain- it’s:
✔️ Feeling like it’s harder to get up off the floor
✔️ Noticing you’re unsteady when walking
✔️ Your balance feeling “off”
✔️ Strength or mobility just not where it used to be

PT isn’t just about treating injuries. It’s about improving how you move, building strength, restoring confidence, and helping you stay active doing what you love.

We treat the whole person — not just pain. 💪

If something feels off, even without pain, that’s reason enough to come see us.

Tonight’s quarterly inservice with the 10 Maine clinics of the Pinnacle Rehab Network 🙌

We had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Sarah Shubert and take a deeper dive into shoulder surgery — from updated surgical techniques to what that really means for rehab timelines, tissue healing, and return-to-function goals.

Staying current isn’t optional in our field. Surgical techniques evolve. Protocols change. The demands on our patients keep getting higher. If we want to give them the best outcomes, we have to keep learning.

Once a quarter, we come together for a night of education, collaboration, and connecting with our fellow Pinnacle partners who are just as committed to raising the bar.

Better understanding the surgery = better rehab plans = better outcomes for our patients. 💪

Grateful for a team that values growth and lifelong learning.

Ben Ogden, a fellow UVM grad and now OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST!!! 🌟

Nordic skiers might just be some of the fittest athletes on the planet. 🥇❄️
Why? Two words: VO₂ max.

VO₂ max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. In simple terms? It’s your engine size. 🚗💨 The bigger the engine, the longer and harder you can go.

🎿 Elite Olympic cross-country skiers have some of the highest VO₂ max values ever recorded — often 70–90+ ml/kg/min (for reference, the average adult is closer to 30–40). That’s not just “good cardio”… that’s superhuman endurance.

But here’s what makes Nordic skiing even cooler from a PT perspective:
✅ Full-body power (arms, core, hips, legs all working together)
✅ Incredible single-leg stability
✅ Eccentric control for downhill sections
✅ Strength-endurance to produce force over and over again
✅ Technical efficiency under fatigue

It’s not just about lungs and heart — it’s about how efficiently the musculoskeletal system transfers force with every stride.

From a rehab standpoint, we think about:
• Building the aerobic base (your engine)
• Improving movement economy
• Strengthening hips and core for propulsion
• Training endurance without sacrificing mechanics

Because whether you’re chasing an Olympic podium or just trying to hike without getting winded, the principles are the same.

Train the engine.
Strengthen the system.
Move efficiently.

Nordic skiers are proof that endurance is strength in disguise. 💪❄️

🇺🇸 Olympic sport week continues! On to Moguls 🥇

MOGUL SKIING IS CONTROLLED IMPACT. OVER. AND OVER.

Mogul skiers absorb 3–5x their bodyweight with every single turn as they rapidly bend and straighten through the hips, knees, and ankles. That force doesn’t disappear — it has to be controlled.

That’s where eccentric strength comes in.

👉 Eccentric strength = a muscle working while it’s lengthening.

Think:
🌟 Your quads slowing you down as you go downstairs

🌟 Your legs absorbing a landing instead of collapsing

🌟 A mogul skier controlling speed instead of bouncing off the snow

In moguls, athletes rely on eccentric strength in the quads, glutes, and calves to absorb force hundreds of times per run. When that system fatigues or isn’t trained well, the load shifts to the joints — often showing up as knee pain, patellar tendon irritation, or low back overload.

👉 Physical therapy doesn’t just build strength.
It trains the body to absorb, slow, and repeat force safely, so impact doesn’t become injury — whether you’re skiing moguls or just trying to move pain-free in daily life.

Force isn’t the enemy.
Poor force control is.
