I am completely cash-pay. Payment is made at time of service and I accept cash, check, credit/debit card, and HSA/FSA cards. This allows me to work for you, not a middleman who dictates my care.

I provide Superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. The amount depends on your specific plan/coverage.

Maine is a Direct Access state. You don't need "permission" to start your recovery - we can get to work right away.

By Maine state law, if there is no noted improvement within 30 days or if treatment required exceeds 120 days, I will refer you to the appropriate licensed healthcare provider for a referral or further workup in that case.

I work with my patients to make sure they are receiving the best possible care they can.

If you are looking for reimbursement via Superbills, sometimes insurance companies will want you to have a referral for that, but by and large my patients have had no issues receiving reimbursement based on their policy once they submit their Superbill.

It involves typical PT measures like checking your mobility and strength. Beyond that, an internal exam may be performed but is always optional. This is a safe space and every second of the exam is guided by your comfort level.

Absolutely. This is a queer-owned practice. There's no code-switching necessary here. You can present as your truest self.

Absolutely! Pride In Movement Physical Therapy is a gender-affirming practice. You shouldn't have to be the teacher at your own appointments. I understand the hurdles you've been through and want to provide a space where you can finally feel heard.

Come in cloths that are comfortable to move in.

For orthopedic issues, I need to be able to see how your joints move. For pelvic issues, comfort is key.

Think loose-fitting gym clothes or loose-fitting lounge-wear. Jeans or office-wear can be constricting and make the evaluation process more challenging.

Because Pride In Movement is a 1:1 specialist model, you will receive more attention and individualized care to help you get better faster than the "PT Mill" environment the insurance realm unfortunately forces many clinics into.

While every body and presentation is different, Dr. Riley is happy to answer any questions about length of treatment after a robust evaluation where he will have a better idea on how long your course of care may take. His focus is entirely on getting you better with high-quality, high-impact sessions.

While Pride In Movement is a queer-owned and affirming space, I treat patients of all backgrounds and identities.

If you are looking for a provider who truly listens to you and doesn't just pass off your symptoms as stress, hormones, or tell you it's "all in your head" - you belong here.

Your body does not work in a silo.

Often, nagging hip or low back pain - or pain just about anywhere else in the body, can translate to or from the pelvic floor.

I use this hybrid lens to combine the two principles and treat the whole person.

Absolutely.

Surgery's focus is on addressing the physical structures believed to be pain generators. If you're still having pain post-op, it may be that the symptoms are lingering in your nervous system associations with movement or in movement patterns that existed pre-op.

With my hybrid lens combining orthopedics and pelvic floor with chronic pain management, I'm here to focus on Movement Optimism and help you rebuild trust in your own body to ensure that your recovery is resilient and long-term.

Yes!

While these are some of my specialty areas, my background in Athletic Training and my robust PT education means that I can treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal issues. From perpetual knots to nagging joint pain, I can tackle just about any dysfunction.

If it moves (or it's supposed to move), I can help with that.

Absolutely not.

Whether you've been leaking for as long as you can remember - or if you can't even remember when your pain began, your body is amazingly resilient and adaptable.

I can help show you that potential for change. There's no "life sentences" here - I will show you the path forward no matter how long you've been stuck.

I just ask for 24 hours notice. I reserve a full hour for every single patient, so I ask for this time so that I can provide care to someone else who may need it in that time slot.

Of course.

Your comfort is the priority. If having someone with you helps you to feel safe and heard, the more the merrier. They will always be welcome in my treatment room.
