We are a team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, acupuncturists, yoga instructors, and wellness professionals who share a common goal: to treat the whole person, not just a diagnosis.

Whether you’re experiencing pain, bladder or bowel issues, trying to conceive, expecting, postpartum, in perimenopause, or menopause - we are here to meet you right where you are.
More than just a physical therapy and acupuncture clinic. We offer classes, support groups, and events to help you find your people and those that are going through what you’re going through.

We are here to provide you with a different care experience than what you would get in those big corporate clinics.
Here’s what makes us different:
Our Care Approach
We take a whole person and full body approach to address the ROOT cause of your symptoms and achieve long lasting relief. We work with you to build true resilience within your body for our lifespan.
We use an interdisciplinary approach across disciplines! We integrate physical and occupational therapy, yoga, and acupuncture, from providers who all specialize in pelvic health - all in one team!
Every provider in our practice specializes in pelvic health and has a true passion to see you feel better in the long term!
Appointments
We provide 90 minute evaluations and 60 minute follow up sessions that include fully customized care, with plenty of time to truly learn about you, your history, and your unique goals.
Appointments are always 1:1 with your therapist at every visit. We don’t use any aids or techs, allowing for more thorough, comprehensive sessions to help you get better faster.
Your journey starts with understanding your story. Together, we’ll create a customized plan to achieve your unique goals.
Environment
Creating a calm, relaxing and healing environment is very important to us. We want you to arrive and feel supported from the moment you walk in our door.
We are committed to meeting you right where you are. We have offices in Saco, Scarborough, and Bath, and also offer virtual care!
“Root To Rise isn’t just a clinic. It’s a vision for how we care for people. Where healing doesn’t mean fixing what’s ‘wrong,’ but honoring what’s possible.”
