What Our Patients Say

  • "I have been a patient at Dirigo for awhile, and recently began seeing Bree in the Saco office. It's an easy location to get to, and provides for a quiet and individualized session. Bree is an amazing therapist, knowledgeable in her field, and incredibly understanding of pain and rehabilitation. The relief I experience from pain with dry needling and manual therapy followed by exercises, is hard to quantify. It's worth the time and the visit! "

    Candace L.

  • "I had some knee pain from over doing it at the beginning of this ski season. I called Dirigo and was able to get an appointment that week. I was quickly back on track with a home exercise program. Thanks to Josh and everyone at Dirigo, I had a great experience despite not wanting to have to "work out" in a traditional or formal way. I feel much stronger and am confident I have a good plan of new exercises to keep my ski season on track!

    Sophie M.

  • "Dirigo took me from being completely sidelined from running, to a personal best in the marathon (pain-free!) only a few months later. I cannot express how grateful I am for Mallory and the whole team, this was by far the most comprehensive and valuable PT experience of my life."

    Michaela S.

  • "I've had post-surgical shoulder pain for the last three months, but thanks to Bree and Mallory, I'm happy to say I'm now pain-free! Thanks for all your help. I can't recommend Dirigo enough."

    Sivanna B.

  • "I came to Dirigo PT&P at a time when they were the only PT facility in the state offering BFR to help with my rehab after multiple knee surgeries. I was thoroughly impressed and have been a patient there for 3 years. The staff is excellent! The PTs are extremely knowledgeable and stay up to date with evidence based practice. The 1:1 care allows them to really get to know their patients and create programs that are unique to the needs and abilities of the individual. I highly recommend Dirigo PT&P!

    Sarah

  • "Everyone was amazing! They took great care of me over the past few months. Bri not only helped me regain the function in my shoulder, she focused on educating me about my recovery. This attention to detail and expertise accelerated my recovery. I have no doubt that the Dirigo team is the reason I am able to compete again!!!"
