Do these things sound familiar to you?

  • You wake up stiff and sore- even before your day gets going
  • You avoid stairs, lifting or long walks because it always irritates something
  • You have stopped doing activities you love because of nagging pain
  • You are constantly “babying” your injury (shoulder, etc.)
  • You have tried EVERYTHING (rest, ICE, prior PT’s with boring exercises) but the pain keeps coming back
  • You have been told from your prior PT or doctor to just “live with it”
  • You are very active but worried that you are one wrong move away from an injury that won’t leave your life
  • You are stuck between too little and or doing too much and needing more help without direction on where to go

It does not have to be this way, Stagg Performance Physical Therapy is here to help and get you to get better faster and stay stronger longer with help from our PT Clinic in Scarborough, ME.

Comprehensive Assessment to Get to the Root Cause

Instead of just addressing your symptoms, at Stagg Performance PT our physical therapists begin with an in-depth, in-person assessment to identify the underlying cause of your issue. This may involve evaluating postural imbalances, movement patterns, muscle weaknesses, or lifestyle factors that are contributing to the problem. We also use tools like handheld dynamometry, functional movement screens, force plate testing, or posture/gait analysis to guide our decisions. This session sets the stage for a strength-forward approach that blends hands-on physical therapy to include myofascial release, dry needling, cupping and graston techniques to build a long-term strategy built for real life.

Targeted Strength Programming for Pain Elimination and Functional Restoration

Once we understand the root cause, we build a customized strength and movement plan that does the heavy lifting in your recovery—designed to correct dysfunction, restore performance, and keep pain from coming back. Delivered through your training app, this program allows you to make steady progress between visits, whether you’re at home, in the gym, or on the road. In-person treatments like cupping, myofascial release or dry needling are used as needed to support the plan—not define it. As you move forward, your plan evolves with you—so you’re never left guessing what’s next.

Goal-Oriented Functional Training with Long-Term Remote Progression

After pain is under control, we shift the focus toward helping you reach your bigger performance and lifestyle goals. This phase is driven by progressive strength and conditioning, customized to your needs, pace, and routine. Through your app-based program and regular progress check-ins, you’ll continue building strength, resilience, and independence—long after your clinic visits taper down. Whether you want to stay sharp, prevent reinjury, or keep improving, we’ll be right there with you every step of the way.

Do you take insurance?

We operate as an out-of-network provider– which means we do not bill insurance directly.
Here is why that is actually a good thing for you:

  • No visit limit or red tape- you care is based on what you actually NEED, not what insurance approves
  • 1-on-1, uninterrupted sessions with a licensed PT- EVERYTIME!
  • Faster Progress- Individualized care plans, not cookie-cutter protocols
  • Simple receipts for reimbursements- these are called SUPERBILLS- we will guide you through submitting to your insurance if you are eligible for out-of-network benefits

Your recovery should not be dictated by insurance codes. It should be driven by your goals – and that is exactly what we focus on!

what our patients say

I’ve been to a lot of practitioners for neck and back pain over the years, and Brianna Stagg has consistently provided outstanding and effective physical therapy for as long as I’ve been in her care. I first saw Brianna during a bout of vertigo and her evaluation and home exercise assignments were thorough, clear and had me feeling better fast! During that process, Brianna observed and evaluated my long-term neck and back issues, and we began a journey of unraveling and addressing the root causes of my discomfort. When I was side-tracked after a car accident, Brianna adjusted the treatments and exercises and brought me back to a place of strength and the ability to take on daily tasks without pain. Her deep knowledge and broad expertise have allowed Brianna to support me with many aspects of healing, with typical PT exercises and stretches, and beyond, including among other things breath work and mindfulness practices.
Early on in our work together, Brianna asked me about my goals, and I responded that I wanted to be able to dance at my son’s wedding and walk my dogs without pain. She got me there. Whenever I’d get down or frustrated, Brianna calmly stayed positive and encouraging while gently but firmly reminding me that my recovery is largely up to me sticking with the program and consistently doing my work. Every day, every week, I am inspired to stay the course, and knowing I will be seeing Brianna regularly keeps me honest.
I started working with Brianna before the pandemic and so we have worked in person and remotely and it’s all been a very healing process for me. There have been times when Brianna has given me the confidence to continue to build strength and heal on my own; and she has always openly welcomed me back when I stumbled or needed new or different care.
In addition to all of this, Brianna is a delightful person. We have shared so much over the years. We’ve laughed a lot. I look forward to every session with her. I am so grateful for all of it and I cannot recommend Brianna more highly.

I have been working with Brianna for several years as my physical therapist. There isn’t anyone else I’d rather work with and that’s saying something as I’ve seen upwards of 20 different physical therapists over my lifetime. Her clinical skills are bar none as a diagnostician. There have been times where she’s gotten an injury diagnosis right and the orthos have gotten it wrong until imaging comes out to vindicate DPT Stagg’s initial diagnosis. I have had a complex knee injury history having had 5 different knee surgeries amongst a whole host of other injuries over the years. What keeps me confident in selecting Bri as my PT is that she always develops a sound treatment plan for anything I’m experiencing, a specific exercise program tailored to address my needs and help keep me out of her office, but most importantly she aligns with my goals (whatever they are) as the patient and has never deterred me from pursuing my hobbies and interests. I’ve had some of the best orthos in the world out of Boston tell me to my Face I’d never be able to run again or extreme ski again after undergoing several operations. When I brought this to DPT Stagg’s attention, she let me know we would develop a plan to get me to the places, interests and hobbies I wanted to pursue and that’s exactly what has happened over all of these years. I’ve done more physically in the last couple years than I ever did before I even had those operations, and I owe it to DPT Stagg! Thank you, Bri!

I have worked with Bree for years for different injuries and have found her to be a delightful and incredible physical therapist.
She is well respected by each physician I have seen, for her knowledge and talent within the physical therapy and athletic performance fields.
She is attentive, kind, and the most knowledgeable. I continue to see her, because I get better with her, and I feel seen by her. Sometimes we need our practitioners to listen to us and help guide us to healing. Bree has been this for me, a fair and professional sounding board.
Bree is a rare gem, and I highly recommend her.

Very knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of her patients. What a pleasure to work with Bree. One of the best around.
