About Orthopaedic Associates of Maine Physical Therapy Center

Orthopaedic Associates of Maine Physical Therapy Center Portland is located at 33 Sewall Street in Portland, Maine, and is part of the practice’s rehabilitation service line. The website says the center works with patients referred by physicians in the community as well as people who reach out directly without a referral. Its published focus is orthopedic care, sports rehabilitation, and therapy connected to both nonoperative and surgical treatment. The practice explains that therapists work one on one with patients to reduce pain, improve function, and help them return to daily routines and recreational activity. Care plans are described as individualized, with treatment matched to each person’s condition and goals, and home exercise programming may begin early to help restore strength and motion.

The Portland location lists physical therapy, occupational therapy, and hand therapy. The Portland team shown on the site includes Allison Pike, PT, STS, CTKP, CPT, C-PS; Avery Laperle, OTR/L; Catherine Heath, PT, DPT, OCS; and Shelley Pine, OTR/L, CHT. Provider biographies note interests in post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, functional movement, care for runners and triathletes, and upper extremity and hand treatment. The website also describes the benefit of its close connection with the orthopaedic practice, noting that therapists and physicians communicate closely and can coordinate rehabilitation before surgery, soon after surgery, and throughout recovery. This includes support for post-op pain, exercise preparation before surgery, and practical help with crutches or immobilizers after procedures. Across Orthopaedic Associates of Maine’s physical therapy services, the site highlights treatment options such as manual therapy, dry needling, Kinesio and athletic taping, heat and cold therapy, neuromuscular electric stimulation and TENS, vestibular rehabilitation, concussion rehabilitation, ergonomic assessment, soft tissue interventions, and home exercise programs.
