Dr. Hollan Oliver, DPT
Physical Therapist
Hollan Oliver is a board-certified physical therapist through the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Hollan earned her doctorate degree in 2010 from the University of Vermont and went on to obtain advanced certifications as an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) and a Sports Certified Specialist (SCS), a combination achieved by less than one percent of therapists nationwide.
Hollan spent her first eight years of physical therapy practice in Rhode Island as the Director of Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine for Elite Physical Therapy, a nationally recognized outpatient orthopedic practice. She implemented performance enhancement and ACL injury prevention programs at local high school and D1 college programs, including Bryant University women’s soccer team and the University of Rhode Island men’s basketball team.
In 2017 Hollan started Coastline Physical Therapy & Performance in Deer Isle because she felt people weren’t getting the physical therapy care they deserved. She believed that the people along the coast of Maine were ready for a new model of therapy, health, and wellness.

What Patients Are Saying
“Physical Therapy was prescribed after I broke my right humerus. Hollan was highly recommended by everyone I consulted. I now know why. Hollan is exceptional. She is not only a skilled practitioner, she is also a good listener. Her gentle nudging was just what I needed. I credit Hollan with setting me on the path to full recovery.” – Julie R.
“I barely was able to walk into Hollan’s office, I was in so much pain, after she worked on me I was walking nearly normally. The testing I had done told me what was not wrong with me, but not what was going on, or what to do, and that’s exactly what she did for me. 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 with stretching and exercise. She is wonderful!!!!!” – Lynn K.
