Who can benefit from physical therapy?
Physical therapy (PT) is care that aims to ease pain and help patients function, move, and live better. At Coastline Physical Therapy we help people of all ages get back to doing what they love, without unnecessary pain medication, surgery, or visits to the doctor.
Your experience will be based on one-on-one attention and individualized treatment. Together we’ll create a care plan that is tailored to best suit your needs – with maximum flexibility and minimal interference.
What should you expect?
Our therapists will quickly identify the cause of your symptoms and apply manual therapy techniques to help resolve your pain, improve your health, and get you back to your daily activities, as soon as possible.
1. Do you require a referral from my doctor?
No! Maine is a “direct access” state, meaning a prescription of a referral is not required. This eliminates extra steps, such as waiting for a doctor’s office visit, allowing the patient to begin treatment faster. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
2. Do you take insurance?
We Work With All Insurance Plans
At Coastline Physical Therapy, we want you to be able to choose the provider who is right for you—not simply the provider dictated by your insurance network.
We are credentialed providers with Medicare Part B and Martin’s Point. We also work with patients who have all other insurance plans. For out-of-network plans, we can provide the necessary documentation and superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, based on your individual out-of-network benefits.
Our model allows us to prioritize high-quality, individualized care without letting insurance restrictions determine the amount of time you spend with your therapist or the services that are appropriate for your recovery.
Have questions about your insurance or how reimbursement works? Give us a call. We’re happy to help you understand your options before scheduling.
3. Can my insurance company reimburse my visit?
Maybe! If you call your insurance company and ask “what are my out-of-network physical therapy benefits?” you may be eligible to receive a partial reimbursement directly from your insurance company. Coastline will provide you with a bill containing all the necessary information you’d need to submit.
4. Why Coastline PT?
At Coastline, we believe great physical therapy starts with understanding why you hurt—not just where you hurt.
Our physical therapists are highly trained movement and musculoskeletal experts who take the time to identify the source of your problem and build a treatment plan around you. You’ll receive individualized care from your provider, with the time and attention needed to make meaningful progress.
We also believe physical therapy should go beyond simply getting you “good enough” to discharge. Whether your goal is getting back on the water, returning to a sport, working without pain, keeping up with your grandchildren, or simply feeling stronger and more confident in your body, we want to help you get there.
With advanced treatment options, state-of-the-art strength and movement testing, and a team that genuinely cares about your outcome, Coastline combines clinical expertise with the kind of personal care you expect from a local practice.
Our goal isn’t just to get you out of pain. It’s to help you get back to doing the activities you love!
5. How many visits will it take until I feel better?
While the frequency and number of visits will vary by patient, treatment sessions are typically 1-2x/week for a total of 5-8 visits.

Patient Testimonials
“During my visits with Hollan, I realized that I could trust her abilities and knowledge early on, and that she truly cares about your progress, becoming a valuable partner/friend guiding you down the road to wellness.”
“I barely was able to walk into Hollan’s office … after she worked on me I was walking nearly normally. I faithfully did everything she told me to do after the first session, needed no more pain medications, followed up with a second session and was able to control all my symptoms.”
“My daughter had been dealing with wrist pain since a sprain 10 months ago. We were about to get another X-ray and see an orthopedic surgeon when we decided to try Hollan instead. We are so glad we did, she knew exactly what to do!”
