What I have learned from running….

Running is not just for exercise,

But rather an expression of the mind and of the heart.

There’s a level of clairty that running brings -

From the continuious repitition of hitting the ground.

There’s one thing I am certain holds all runners,

Is the desire to never give up.

Today my clients: 

✅ Sign up for the races they WANT to race in, with confidence in their bodies

✅ Participate in high-impact exercise: leak AND pain-free 

✅ Keep the weight they worked so hard to get off, actually stay off without fear or injury  

✅ Enjoy the mental high of running WITHOUT pain or pads

Now it’s YOUR turn

“I can't recommend Refine Physical Therapy enough. Dr Meag is the first thing in over four years that has given me hope with lingering issues. She is full of experience and knowledge, and makes the appointments so easy and comfortable.”

“Right away Dr. Meaghan addressed these issues and within weeks I was operating in full capacity, something I didn't think would ever happen after having children. Every woman within the Bangor area needs to see Dr. Meaghan!”

Running is more than just exercise - it’s a lifestyle. Whether you are running to be healthy, train for a marathon, or you just want some alone time for your mental health…you are in the right place!

Maybe it seems inevitable that running will eventually cause bladder issues or pain, but with the RIGHT guidence + tools you CAN figure out how to run with EASE and not wonder if you’ll have to stop. When you are ready, I will be here with you every step of the way….

My Process

  • Step 1. RESTORE

    First our goal will be to restore normal flexibility of your muscles. This will include assessing: your rib cage, pelvis, hips, AND feet because they all need to move well together.

  • Step 2. REBUILD

    Next, we will work on isolating the strength needed to be able to have a good absorption when you land, and recoil when you push off. Proper strength + coordination of your core, hips, and foot will ensure your stide is strong.

  • return-to-high-impact-women

    Step 3. RETURN

    Lastly, we will spend time putting the new flexibility and strength together in a functional way! Here I will teach you how to push, pull, lift, and run. Because if you can do all of that without issues….what can’t you do??
