Engine Room Performance Physical Therapy (formerly GoalBound PT and Performance) | Portland, Maine
You don’t need to be a pro athlete to train like one—or to get treated like one. Whether you’re chasing your next 5K, showing up at 6AM CrossFit, squeezing in weekend soccer games, or just trying to stay active between school drop-offs and work meetings, your body deserves high-level care.
At Engine Room Performance Physical Therapy, formerly GoalBound PT and Performance, we specialize in helping everyday athletes in Portland, Maine move better, feel stronger, and train without setbacks.
And here’s the truth: insurance-based physical therapy isn’t designed for people like you.
1. You deserve more than a 15 or 30 minute appointment.
In most in-network clinics, physical therapists are double- or triple-booked. Sessions feel rushed. You spend half your time doing exercises you could do at home—with little guidance and even less progression.
At Engine Room, you’ll never be passed off to an aide or shuffled through a cookie-cutter program. We work one-on-one with you to design a plan that adapts to your goals, schedule, and progress—whether that’s post-op rehab, dry needling for nagging tightness, or performance training to level up your game.
2. Fewer Visits. More Results.
Yes, out-of-network care means you pay upfront—but don’t confuse that with "more expensive."
With our 60-minute sessions, you’ll need fewer total visits, get personalized progressions, and avoid the delays and detours common in the insurance-first model. Most patients see meaningful gains in half the visits they used elsewhere.
We prioritize your timeline, not insurance red tape.
3. We Treat the Whole Athlete
Being an athlete isn’t just about competition—it’s about how you show up in your own life.
You might be a parent training during nap time, a weekend warrior returning from an old ACL injury, or someone rebuilding consistency after burnout. That’s who we serve every day.
Our treatment toolbox includes:
- Dry needling
- Hands-on manual therapy
- Return-to-sport assessments
- Strength & power testing
- Personalized mobility + loading strategies
All in a clean, modern performance space right here in Portland, Maine.
4. Engine Room Is Built for People Like You
We're not a factory clinic—and we never will be.
Our clients include teachers, nurses, small business owners, runners, lifters, and people just getting back into movement. What they all have in common: they want to stay active without bouncing between providers or relying on temporary fixes.
Whether you came to us as GoalBound PT and Performance or are just discovering Engine Room, you’re in the right place.
Are You Ready to Move With Purpose?
