"After working with Nancy last summer (2020) with back issues due to a knee problem, I was so impressed and comfortable with the treatment and relationship with the staff at the office that I actually was looking forward to going back after my knee surgery! Now that I have had my knee replacement surgery I am very pleased and confident to be back in their most capable hands! Highly reccomend to all!"

"I was treated by Greg Knapton for an acute shoulder injury at Riverview. Greg was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable , kind, funny, tough, honest and very professional. His staff were always pleasant and helpful. I had the opportunity to observe a very well run office during the Covid 19 pandemic. Everyone knew what to do and when to do it. Each piece of equipment was wiped down after each use and I felt very safe."

To make a long story short, after a few months of Greg's focused Postural Restoration physical therapy, I can (finally) say that I now wake pain-free every day - and go through everyday PAIN-FREE!

Dorothy

I really feel like Riverview Physical Therapy gave me a new lease on life - sometime it is hard to realize just how much living with pain weigh us down.

Betsy

I would like to acknowledge the professionalism and the great results that flowed from my being taken care of by Riverview Physical Therapy, and their able support staff. Together, they run a "tight ship", and they know how to help their patients "steer a true course towards recovery.

Sandy

Had awful back pain for months that would not go away, couldn't sit, sleep, or participate in physical activity without intense pain. Tried doing my own PT for weeks and nothing changed. Saw Greg and the staff at Riverview and felt tons better in just my first visit. After Riverview and the exercises I learned, back pain is a thing in the past for me...

Jack

My doctor recommended Riverside when I complained of various hip and back pains, and I had an entirely positive experience. Ted was clear in explaining his diagnosis, and in creating my therapy regimen. Greg and the rest of the crew create a pleasant atmosphere, so visits were stress-free. Would highly recommend.

Heeth

Nancy and Jodi are amazing therapists. Professional and friendly with just enough humor to get you through the hard sessions. Beth made sure to schedule me weeks in advance so I could get appointments that worked with my schedule. I’m being discharged at nine weeks post op from a right total knee replacement but will definitely be back should I need therapy in the future. Thanks everyone!

What led you to become a PT?

I am one of the few therapists I know that did not receive any physical therapy as an athlete through my youth. I first attended college for mechanical engineering and wanted to find a career that kept me active through the day but still challenged my mechanical mind. I eventually made my way to the career I love.

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

I treat the whole body and multiple body systems not just the area that hurts. The main dysfunction is often not the pain location. I try to make therapy fun and have some laughs on the road to recovery.

What do you like to do outside of work?

Spending time with my wife and kids in the outdoors preferably hiking, camping, disc golf, hunting, or attending my kids sports games.

Catherine Heath

Catherine Heath, DPT

What led you to become a PT?

Fascination with the human body and its response to exercise led me to physical therapy. I was originally interested in professional coaching but then found I was more interested in rehabilitation.

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

I gear every treatment plan towards an individual’s fitness level to aid them with meeting their personal goals. We are all unique individuals; therefore, your treatment should be unique to you. As an endurance athlete, I know the importance of proper care and training.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities Maine has to offer: hiking, camping, biking, rock climbing and skiing. I’m an avid triathlete and compete in long-distance running events.

Derek Milone

Derek Milone, MS, PT

What led you to become a PT?

I found myself injured frequently as a high school athlete which naturally landed me in a physical therapy office. I experienced the healing effects that a seasoned therapist can provide. I also noticed that all the physical therapists were having fun. This led me to pursue PT in college and here I am talking to you.

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

I have the ability to assess both the root cause of dysfunction and empower people to find their physical and mental strength. I partner with my patients to motivate them to reach their goals.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I like to stay active whether it is snowboarding, hiking, boating, taking in a car show or hanging out with my wife and kids. I am a weekend warrior car mechanic and you can find me in church on Sunday.

Nathaniel Runge

Nathaniel Runge, DPT

What led you to become a PT?

I was a second-year pre-med major with no occupation in mind. I knew I wanted a job that was hands on and interacted with people. After shadowing many medical positions, I knew PT was the one for me.

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

Both my patient and I can often forget we’re doing work during our interaction because we slip a lot of fun and music appreciation in with my comprehensive PT program. And at day’s end, I think to myself, “Oh, yeah, I have to document this!”

What do you like to do outside of work?

I have three daughters under the age of 10 so much of my life focuses around them. When I am not contributing to all the interactions of family life, I am volunteering for various coaching positions.

Nancy Crawford

Nancy Crawford, PT
Clinic Director - Windham

What led you to become a PT?

My interest in Physical Therapy began in High School. At the time, I was exploring possible career paths that would blend my love for science and desire to work with people. I quickly found that Physical Therapy was the ideal blend of my interests. After over 20 plus years of PT, I have not regretted my decision. I continue to find it to be a satisfying and interesting profession.

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

I offer over 20 years of experience, not only in outpatient orthopedics but also in rehabilitation of neurological disorders. I regularly attend continuing education classes to keep my skills current and innovative. We have a strong team approach at Riverview and work together to improve our patients’ function and minimize pain.

What do you like to do outside of work?

On the weekends, I can usually be found doing some kind of activity in the outdoors. I enjoy hiking, skiing, cycling and kayaking.

Christine Dube, PT

What led you to become a PT?

A friend of the family who had a background in physical education led me into it. He was working with a chiropractor, I shadowed him and found that I liked being in the medical field.

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

I think sometimes people are very fearful when they come in for physical therapy. I try to get to know them outside of the injury and that leads to developing a good plan of care.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I enjoy cooking and hanging out with friends, watching my kids play volleyball, paddle boarding, snowshoeing and walking my dog.

Michael Viricel

Michael Viricel, MSPT, CSCS

What led you to become a PT?

Growing up, I was always enjoyed math and science classes. In high school, I took an Anatomy and Physiology class, which sparked my interest in pursuing a career in a health-related profession. I wasn't sure which direction to take when looking at colleges, so I applied to multiple schools with different choices of major. I settled on Husson College and chose Physical Therapy as my major. The choice was made based on being able to live at home and maintain a part-time job while in school. I was not sure how much I would enjoy Physical Therapy when I started, but once I got into science and anatomy classes, I was hooked.

What motivates you professionally?

I really love when I can improve a patient’s quality of life and return them to pain-free functional mobility. I know I've done my job well when a former client refers family and friends to me. That’s what keeps me motivated in continuing my career as a physical therapist.

Chris Heuss

Chris Heuss, PT
Clinic Director - Bath

What led you to become a PT?

I was working as a counselor and advocate for adults with disabilities and I saw the significant benefit that occurred when I took my clients to their physical therapy sessions and I thought, “I want to be a physical therapist.”

With all of the PTs available, why should a patient choose you?

I’m very good at listening to my patients and finding out their personal goals. People seem to feel really comfortable hanging out with me and our clinic has a very friendly environment.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I like the outdoors so backpacking, kayaking and, more recently, I’ve taken up rock climbing. I like to hike in the White Mountains and the Katahdin region, and I am most happy when I’m doing this with my wife and two teenage boys.

Carrie Mitchell

Carrie Mitchell, ATC & PTA

What led you to become a physical therapist assistant?

I wanted to pursue a medically based profession. Also, I've always been interested in sports/health, so athletic training/sports medicine and physical therapy were a logical choice.

What makes you a great assistant to work with?

I have been in my career since 1990, so I do have years of experience on my side. My first job out of college allowed me to work in an environment that fostered forward-thinking and learning. I was lucky enough to work with many exceptional clinicians, one of whom is the owner of Riverview. I feel so lucky to work in a profession I love and am able to constantly learn and grow in.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I enjoy teaching Vinyasa Flow yoga and have for 4 years. I love trail running at our local land preserve all year round. My husband and two chocolate labs also love skiing, hiking and boating. We have lived in the Midcoast for 24 years and love every minute of it!

Hallee

Hallee Breton, DPT

What led you to become a PT?
I grew up dancing with a focus in ballet and always had an appreciation for the human body and human movement. I learned how to use certain muscles in my body to create very specific movements and developed acute sense for body awareness which translates perfectly to physical therapy practice. I was always interested in medical sciences and knew I didn't want to have a desk job so physical therapy was a perfect fit!
With all the PT's available, why should a patient choose you?
I love getting to know people. I really try to understand people and the lives they lead and incorporate that in how I evaluate and treat my patients. Everyone is different and going through different challenges in their lives and I try to be a support for them for their physical and mental health. Plus I like to have a good time with my patients!
What do you like to do outside of work?
I am an avid snowboarder in the winter; Sugarloaf is my mountain! And in the spring and summer, I love going camping, hiking, and have taken up golfing. I love being outdoors in any way, shape, or form.

Nathaniel Horton

Nathaniel Horton, PT, DPT

What led you to become a PT?

Both of my parents were teachers, and my original plan was to become a math teacher myself. However, I developed a passion for learning about the human body, injuries, and performance during my senior year of high school after a running injury ended my cross‐country career early. I switched from running to weightlifting but encountered repeated shoulder and back injuries that limited my ability to make progress. Through these experiences, I learned that the way your body feels can profoundly impact the rest of your life, for better or for worse. The summer before starting college, I switched my degree plan from math education to exercise science and pre‐physical therapy, and the rest is history. The best part is that I still get to be a teacher, because teaching others how to feel better is the most rewarding part of my job.

With all the PT's available, why should a patient choose you?

My priority for each patient is that they feel heard and respected. Nobody knows your body better than you do, and your input is of utmost importance throughout the physical therapy episode of care. I work hard to provide individualized and holistic treatments to each patient, and to serve primarily as a guide on the journey of healing.

What do you like to do outside of work?

My wife and I moved to Maine in May of 2021 because we love spending time outdoors and wanted to live somewhere that felt like a community. We are always looking for new trails and places to explore around Maine, as well as new activities and events. Some of my favorite activities include running, hiking, weightlifting, and recreational sports such as pick-up basketball and disc golf.

Matthew

Matthew O'Brien, PT, DPT

What led you to become a PT?

I decided to become a physical therapist when I had a severe hip injury resulting in surgery when I was 15. I was told by multiple doctors that running and sports were out of the question for my future. Since exercise and movement are integral to who I am as a person, this was devastating. Thankfully I was set up with a physical therapist who not only helped me recover, but helped me return to running and sport so that I could compete throughout my entire education without issue. That therapist helped give me that part of my life back and I want to do the same for others.

What makes you a great PT to work with?

As a therapist, I strive to provide an approachable and positive atmosphere for my patients to help develop a working relationship with their individual needs and goals in mind. My education and passion for movement are what motivate me to stay as current as possible on research and seeking new ways to help others help themselves.

What do you like to do outside of work?

When I am not in clinic I am doing anything outside: mountain and trail running, hiking, backpacking, skiing, biking, and paddling with my fiancé and my three dogs. Anything that involves fresh air and moving!

Morgan Segale

Morgan Segale, DPT

What led you to become a PT?

Ever since I was a kid I have been involved in sports. From pre-K soccer to a three season athlete in high school and eventually playing rugby at Stonehill College. I was always drawn to sciences in school but it wasn’t until being a lab assistant for anatomy and physiology that I realized how to merge my love for sports with my passion for science and the human body.

What makes you a great PT to work with?

I enjoy meeting and making new connections with people and it’s a plus that I get to help people feel better while doing so! I strive to take a full body approach to treatments taking into consideration individualized goals and outcomes.

What do you like to do outside of work?

On my free time I enjoy spending time outside with our two dogs, Tito and Jax. In the summer you’ll find me paddle boarding, hiking and camping and in the winter on the ski slopes

Kayla Hernderson

Kayla Henderson, PTA

What led you to become a physical therapist assistant?

I knew that I wanted to be in the field for a long time. I love working with people and helping them get better, reaching the goals that they may have thought were out of reach; getting back to things that they may have thought were out of the question again. After earning my bachelor's degree, I took some time off and after a few years decided to go back to school to achieve my goal, and I was able to do it without any more student load debt!

What makes you a great assistant to work with?

I feel like I am personable and can connect with people easily. I am very compassionate, and that really helps people feel more comfortable. I like to talk and find out what their interests are so I can connect on a personal level as well. I am very confident in my skills and that translates through my treatments.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I spend a lot of time with my kids; but when I get time I love to cook and bake; our menu generally includes one new recipe per week. I also do a lot of sewing. Most recently I have made reusable zipper snack bags.
