I had numbness in my left leg. I saw Tyler Chamberlin and Maggie Beliveau. They did some hip flexors and gave me exercises to do. Tyler did dry needling on my leg and it is so much better than when I started. They were very professional and made me feel comfortable about the treatment I was receiving. I would recommend Back in Motion to anyone that needs physical therapy. They are top notch!!

A friendly and proficient receptionist keeps this busy practice with multiple providers on time. Hannah was my provider and she was excellent!! She is very knowledgeable and you can tell that she truely cares for her patients. The ease of plenty of available parking and close to I95 exit makes the location very convenient.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Back in Motion Brighton. Tyler and his team are true professionals and dedicated to helping people heal then thrive. They are patient, kind, and highly skilled. Tyler and his team helped me manage my back pain and become stronger, I’m now with minimal pain from my treatment and I am very grateful. He was able to incorporate my personal goals of getting back into weightlifting into my treatment which was fantastic. I recommend this place to everyone! The vibes there are comfortable and supportive, as much as I hope I don’t have another injury I know I will be in good hands if I need them again in the future!

I worked with Christopher Lekousi at both the Portland and South Portland clinics. He was the best! I made steady progress with his help. All of the staff were wonderful at both locations. I recommend Back in Motion to anyone who needs physical therapy.

If you are looking for an excellent PT, I very highly recommend Tyler Chamberlin at Back in Motion. He carefully and thoroughly analyzed my range of motion and capabilities, listened attentively to my concerns, and, as he figured out what the problem was, he articulated clearly the mechanics of the shoulder and explained the diagnosis. Then had me perform a variety of exercises to treat the problem. He gave me exercises to do at home, gave me information to log into an app to help me manage and log the exercises at home and made a series of appointments for subsequent visits. While repairing an injured body requires hard work, I enjoy the visits thanks to his friendly and upbeat personality. He is very encouraging each time as I progress through the course of therapy. I have complete confidence in Tyler's knowledge and ability to help me regain strength and full mobility.

I highly recommend Back in Motion Physical Therapy, Brighton Avenue, Portland! I had Tyler, a terrific Physical Therapist. He is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate. It was a positive experience, start to finish. The atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly at a neat and clean facility. I am so thankful for their help in working to improve the strength of my back, giving me just the right exercises for all my back issues. I feel confident now going forward and this is huge as I have suffered with back issues since I was 18. Thank you, Tyler, and all the wonderful people who helped me at Back in Motion!
