Physical Therapy in South Berwick, ME
Physical therapy at Back Nine focuses on more than just relieving pain. We identify the underlying movement limitations contributing to injury and develop a plan to restore strength, mobility, and function — so relief lasts instead of coming back in a few months.
Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Tom Kent, PT, DPT — not split between multiple patients, and not dictated by what an insurance company will approve.
