Lloyd and Josh helped me overcome a difficult injury, and didn't just get me back on my feet but helped me get back to function, and eventually running again. Best PT experience I've had. I hope not to need it again, but if I did, I'll be back!

My son is an elite athlete recovering from ACL injury, and we assumed that he would need to stay in New York City to receive the level of expert care, sport-specific support, and performance optimization techniques to support his return to play. Then we discovered Lloyd Beckett and his team, whose level of expertise and sophistication on equipment rivals the top facilities in New York City that serve NYC's pro athletes and D1 players in the vicinity. The staff is professional and responsive; the care is holistic, compassionate, and targeted; the therapist's availability to answer questions and provide support outside of therapeutic sessions is generous beyond our expectations. This place and the team blew us away and set my son up for a strong return to play.

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.

Mallory and the team at Dirgio are excellent! They helped me with pre and post rehab for a meniscus surgery, as well as some other musculoskeletal issues. Mallory was very caring and communicated well with me and my surgeon to overcome any issues I faced. The facility is always clean and well maintained. 10/10

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 came to Dirigo for help recovering from a hip fracture and am so grateful I did. I worked with Mallory for seven months. I am so much stronger than I ever thought I could be when I started PT. Mallory was a fantastic partner: knowledgeable, of course, supportive while also pushing me to do more when she knew I could and clearly invested in my progress. She was also very generous with her time answering my emails and speaking with my physicians to coordinate on my recovery. Highly recommend her and Dirigo.

In 2017 I sustained a complete tear of my lateral root meniscus which brought me down a road of injury, uncertainty, and recovery. I required surgery and unfortunately the surgery didn’t go successfully requiring another one, making 4 total knee operations on the same knee (former ACL tear). I was told by the best of the best in the Ortho world who works with the Boston Pro Sports teams that I should never run again and was told by more than one ortho clinic if I did I would really only be able to run a maximum of a 10K distance. Well, after working with Brianna at Dirigo I can say that those other professionals were wrong and she very humbly never questioned my goals but provided me the tools and care to get me back to elite condition. I found her knowledge, evaluation and overal scope of determining what type of strengthening exercises and routine care I needed to be the best I’ve ever received and that accounts for a long history of working with around 20 different PT’s over my lifetime for varying injuries. With her help I have been brought back to the world of competing in Spartan Mountain Races, skiing pain free and taking on such terrain as Jackson Hole and have been able to do Alpine Touring pain free. My running has come back to upwards of 16 mile runs (still rising) as well as the ability to run in the mountains and not stick to “flat roads” at recommendations of the doctors prior to working with Brianna. In the Fall of 2021 I came back to work with Bri briefly after overtraining and having some patellofemoral pain in my knee. After a few short weeks the pain went away thanks to the program she put me on and I also did a running assessment with Mallory who was very helpful to identify what tweaks to make to my running to prevent future injuries. I owe so much to Bri and Dirigo and would recommend any staff at Dirigo for your injury rehabilitation or prevention needs. Being in the clinic for a good while, I’ve seen firsthand the direct care and attention all therapists provide their clients. Being able to get 1:1 support and have your therapist work alongside you is an easy sell and shows Dirigo cares very much about their patients. Easy 5 star!

I was just discharged from Dirigo after working with Mallory. Initially, she was helping me with some knee pain and running assessment and on the day I was set to discharge, I had told her I was in a car accident since seeing her last. Mal quickly put on her assessment hat and starting asking me questions regarding the accident which I am very happy about because I wasn't prepared to ask for help which I definitely needed. I had sustained a mild concussion from the accident and was dealing with some neck pain but really just thought it would go away on its own. Mal let me know that she really didn't mind turning our visit into an assessment for my neck instead of the knee and on the spot performed a full function test on me. Numbers don't lie! My range of motion among other readings were not where they should have been. Mal let me know that these sort of things don't just go away on their own and if it did it could be months before that happened. The neck was bad enough to affect my sleeping and my ski season as it was hard to whip my neck around at trail crossings. Now I would say my neck is even better than before the accident! Mal was a pleasure to work with and gave me the right attention to clear up this neck issue. If it wasn't for her simply asking questions and getting me talking I wouldn't have opened up about it figuring it would have just gone away. I think it says a lot that I was there to discharge for my knee and could have been one less patient for her to deal with but she insisted we check it out and was very comprehensive in analyzing my necks full function. I'm happy I worked with her and it is very nice as a patient to be at a PT clinic where you can get the 1:1 attention for your entire visit. I've been to Dirigo before and I believe as a patient this is the most important part of what Dirigo offers (as well as their extremely competent and knowledgeable staff). My full trust has been with Dirigo and I don't have enough great things to say. I'd recommend Dirigo to anyone! Thanks Mal!

I had an L5 discectomy. I was limping badly after the surgery. I needed a measured, well-managed rehab program in order to begin the recovery of the small muscle, nerve repair recovery process. I had excellent supervision at Dirigo. Now, after 9 sessions, armed with print copies of the exercise routines Josh gave me, I can carry on from Florida for the winter and be able to swing a golf club again. Thanks to Josh and Dirigo.

I could not recommend Dirigo enough. I came to them post knee surgery and they got me on my feet in no time. I feel stronger today then I did before my injury.

I came to Dirigo PT&P at a time when they were the only PT facility in the state offering BFR to help with my rehab after multiple knee surgeries. I was thoroughly impressed and have been a patient there for 3 years. The staff is excellent! The PTs are extremely knowledgeable and stay up to date with evidence based practice. The 1:1 care allows them to really get to know their patients and create programs that are unique to the needs and abilities of the individual. I highly recommend Dirigo PT&P!

My sports medicine MD referred me to Dirigo to rehabilitate muscles that weren’t firing properly due to a hip labrum tear that went undiagnosed for several years. I worked with Brianna at the Saco location. She has superior knowledge of physiology and adapted treatment and exercises around my feedback and physical symptoms. She has the perfect balance of knowing when you need to be pushed a little vs. when you need to dial things back. I felt completely comfortable asking her questions and giving her feedback, which is so important in this line of work. She was also great about working with my insurance and communicating openly about any insurance changes and issues. As an extra bonus, the Saco location is a very comfortable facility with ample, free parking.
