Dirigo Physical Therapy & Performance

A year on from my last session to help rehabilitate my knee, I'm feeling like I'm back to how I was feeling before my initial injuries, and that's in no small part due to the expertise of Dirigo's staff. I worked with Josh at Dirigo's Portland & Westbrook locations and he was very instructive and responsive, and was able to address my concerns. The other staff were friendly and the facilities were nice as well. Overall highly recommend

I cannot recommend Dirigo Physical Therapy enough. Three years ago I had surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus. 2.5 years later, after a second surgery on my meniscus and multiple setbacks, I was ready to give up. I had returned to physical therapy multiple times and was ready to accept that things just wouldn't get better. In a last-ditch effort, I researched every physical therapist within an hour radius of my home and concluded that my best bet was Dirigo. I am so thankful I found them. Lloyd was able to identify the cause of debilitating pain in the back of my uninjured knee (an issue my doctor and another physical therapist were unable to make sense of), and we got to work. Several months later and three years since my initial injury, I am finally, finally, back to enjoying my highly active lifestyle. Whereas every other PT I went gave me the same cookie cutter recovery plan with mediocre results, my treatment at Dirigo was custom-tailored for my particular situation and evolved as I continued to progress. That difference was everything. If you are recovering from surgery or looking to resolve a nagging injury, please learn from my experience and visit Dirigo first -- even if their offices are a little further than you'd like. You will not get better treatment anywhere else!

Dirago is terrific. My trainer, Louise, is smart, educated, helpful, motivating, and organized. She is a top-tier personal trainer that I would recommend to anyone looking to make gains in strength or endurance.

Dr. Dahne and Dr. Mallory were the best physical therapists in terms of professionalism and achieving my goals. I’ve been to PT three times in my life and these guys are far and away the best. They identified my issues and fixed them by giving me an easy to understand and functional exercise program that addressed the root cause of my symptoms. They also educated me so that it will be easier to prevent any symptoms in the future. I would recommend these guys 10/10 times. I have to maintain certain fitness standards for work and Dirigo PT made it easy to do so.

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!

I had the best experience with Dirigo PT- I cannot say enough good things about them. I was referred there after injuring my shoulder with labral tear and detached bicep tendon. Awaiting surgery, I attended PT, and then following surgery, I continued. The therapy was individualized and tailored to my needs and goals. I met with Dr. Mallory each time, and she is very knowledgeable and helpful. Her explanations were more thorough than what was provided to me by the surgeon. I really appreciated that you don't work with an aide, just the Dr with whom you are scheduled with. Now, 10 months after surgery, I am pain free and back to lifting the same amount of weights and playing the sports I love. I attribute this entirely to the expert care I received at Dirigo PT.

I was referred to Dirigo PT and Performance post-knee surgery. After years with another physical therapy office, I was incredibly impressed with the high quality, patient-centered care offered as each appointment is one-on-one. I was fortunate to work with Bree who is super knowledgeable and helped me to better understand my injury and therapy. She guided me through the post-op period and helped me to manage and prevent my chronic knee issues. All of the staff are very friendly and professional!! I highly recommend Dirigo PT and Performance.

Amazing staff!!! They are well versed in all aspects of recovery and are are to tailor your recovery to your needs. Anything from high level competitive athletes trying to compete aagainst, to someone just looking for some pain relief. I've had PT before through a few different offices, none come close to the ability and attention Dirigo can offer!!! I would recommend them to anyone at any stage of recovery!!!
