PT, MS, Co-Owner

When I graduated from Bowdoin College, in 1981, I didn't expect to return to Brunswick except for class reunions. Now, as the co-owner of Greater Brunswick PT, I can't imagine leaving.

My approach to patient care combines a wide variety of manual therapy techniques with comprehensive patient education regarding exercise, posture, and ergonomics. I take into account each patient's unique history, motivations, and goals to assist them in reaching their fullest potential.

I earned my Master's of Science in Physical Therapy from Boston University in 1986. I worked at both Southern Maine Medical and Maine Medical Centers before joining Donna Maria at Greater Brunswick PT, in 1990. Like Donna Maria, I was ready to make the transition from the hospital environment to a private practice. Donna Maria and I worked well together from the start and in 1996, when she offered me the opportunity to become her business partner, everything seemed right. I continue to enjoy the challenges and diversity that the roles of clinician and practice administrator provide.

I am fortunate to be blessed with a loving family and spend most of my free time with them, hiking, biking, camping, skiing-anything that takes us outdoors. Occasionally, I sneak away for a mediocre round of golf.

Training & Education

"I'm Glad I Chose Greater Brunswick Physical Therapy."
~ Joan Krohn, Phippsburg

When Joan Krohn was experiencing hip and leg pain and having trouble sleeping at night, her doctor referred her to Greater Brunswick Physical Therapy. "GBPT was just the ticket. Deb always explained the techniques she used and why, which really enhanced the experience for me. She also taught me how to manage the condition myself, through exercise and stretching. Everyone in the office is so caring and warm. I feel like I not only received excellent treatment for my pain, I made real friends."
