Bill Anderson, PT, DPT, GCS, CEEAA, MSCS
I have my doctorate in physical therapy and over 20 years of experience working with people in their homes, rehabilitation facilities, and out-pt clinics. I am one of the only physical therapists board certified in geriatrics in Maine and certified as an exercise expert for aging adults by the American Physical Therapy Association. I live in Portland with my wife (also a physical therapist) and two daughters.
I created this practice so I can focus on providing high quality, individualized, evidence-informed care. No matter your age or physical condition, you can always make positive changes to your health. We will do this together as a team!
