I had crippling neck pain that would take me out of work for multiple days. After less than 10 sessions with the folks at Back in Motion, my neck pain is virtually non-existent. I have been taught exercises that relieve acute flare ups. And been setup with exercises for long term improvements.

I recently worked with Kaylee for several sessions after knee replacement surgery. She was very caring and had a positive attitude both when answering my questions and introducing new exercises. Thank you!!

I went in with severe lower back pain after an injury, and after weeks of therapy I am back to normal. They listened, had me do lots of exercises and stretching, and explained how to strengthen and not have the pain return. I saw Suzy, she was great!

I canโ€™t say enough positive things about Suzie Hammond and Back in Motion in South Portland. I have the type of body that doesnโ€™t always respond to typical treatment pathways. Suzie met my body where it was each session and found creative solutions to help me progress, heal and regain strength and mobility. She is a phenomenal listener, who truly believes her patients; she has a ton of expertise and creativity in her approach to finding the right solutions for each unique body, and is just as dedicated to your recovery as you are. The rehab techs and front desk staff were also incredibly skilled, kind, thoughtful and patient! I highly recommend!

Our whole family have gone to Paul Brown at Back In Motion as our Physical Therapist for many years and have had an outstanding experience in helping us recover from knee replacements, arthritis in hands and shoulders and back. We have recommended him to all our friends and family.

Iโ€™ve participated for more than a year in A program run by Back in Motion-Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) A comprehensive set of physical exercises for People with Parkinsonโ€™s run by a therapist from Back in Motion. The therapist manages 14 classes a week as well as private OT sessions โ€ฆhas superb skills and knowledge. Many of the RSB clients also receive PT. Location is well located for easy access.

My physical therapist Seaton was extremely knowledgeable. He provided me with the tools and the encouragement which helped me a great deal. He was by far the best physical therapist I have had. I would definitely recommend him .

Suzie and the other staff at Back in Motion were so amazing! After having less than stellar experiences with other providers in the past, Suzie and the team were a breath of fresh air. She took me seriously, was thorough in her assessments, and made sure I understood the โ€œWhyโ€ every step of the way. She meets people where theyโ€™re at, and her genuine passion for her field is clear. The team was warm and welcoming, and kept me laughing even on the days I was tired and frustrated with my body. Will definitely recommend BIM South Portland to people in my life!

Excellent staff here, especially Susie! Iโ€™ve been to several PT places and this is by far the best - the attention they give to clients is personalized, and they use a combination of exercises and manipulation to help manage pain, heal, and regain strength. They are also very good at teaching people how our bodies really work so we can better know how *not* to re-injure ourselves.

My husband, Catalin Tutunaru is getting help from the physical therapists on a biweekly basis. The two people, a man and a woman are both extremely professional and he had significant positive improvements for his Parkinsonโ€™s and also his back and knee issues. We are very grateful for their help and dedication.

I ended up going to see Suzie for hip pain during pregnancy which she quickly helped me resolve and I continued to see her for much of my third trimester. Iโ€™m now convinced every pregnant person should go to PT in third trimester! Every week came with new aches and pains and Suzie fixed me right up, gave me tools to feel better when I was at home on my own, and helped me prepare my body for birth. The last of my pregnancy was greatly improved by the care I received here.

Love this place. The people that work there are really pleasant and nice to talk to. They're really knowledgeable and pretty much tell you what will help and how it works. Been to a few places where they just toss an exercise at you and just watch without giving a proper example. Super recommend going to this place.

I was very pleased with Back in Motion! Tessa was amazing! She was tough but fair. She pushed me to the limit, but when I couldnโ€™t do anymore, she listened to me and we stopped. As a result ,when I went to my surgeon for my six week check up he told me I no longer needed PT and that my range was perfect. I would recommend back in Motion to everyone. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.
