Living in Maine means being active—whether you’re hiking in Acadia National Park, stacking firewood, or walking the dogs through trails. But with daily activity comes the possibility of everyday injuries. That’s where Physical Therapy comes in—not just to help after injuries, but to prevent them before they start.

Why Prevention Matters
Physical Therapy helps keep your muscles, joints, and movements working the right way. By improving strength, balance, and flexibility, Physical Therapy exercises lowers your possibility of injury. It can help you stay strong and active, whether you're cleaning your yard, lifting groceries, or heading out for a coastal hike.
Even simple things like poor posture or tight muscles can lead to strains and sprains. A licensed Physical Therapist can spot those issues early and create a plan to address them—before pain or injury slow you down.
How Physical Therapy Helps
Here are a few ways physical therapy prevents injuries:
Custom Exercises: Your Physical Therapist builds a routine based on your body and goals.
Better Balance: Helps reduce the risk of falls.
Stronger Core and Muscles: Supports your back and joints, especially during lifting or outdoor work.
Improved Flexibility: Keeps your muscles and joints moving freely.
