ABOUT USABOUT US
Core Physical Therapy was founded in 2001 to offer comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation and exercise/education. Core PT situated itself in rural areas specifically for patients who otherwise would have trouble accessing Physical Therapy services. Core PT's locations allow patients to access quality Physical Therapy care without having to travel to more urban areas such as Lewiston, Augusta, and Brunswick.
Contrary to nationally owned or hospital type PT's, Core PT prides itself on intensive attention to each individual patient where you are treated by the Physical Therapist each visit and who happens to be the owner. No aides or assistants set up patients or take patients through exercise routines and/or stations.
