Dr. Michael Brown opened Maritime Physical Therapy on State Road in the Manomet village of Plymouth in August 2023. He came to the profession from an unusual direction: first a bachelor of applied science in nutrition sciences at the University of Florida, then his Doctor of Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in Miami. Postdoctoral training in manual therapy for spinal and extremity joint manipulation sharpened the hands-on side of his work, and certification in functional dry needling gave him a way to reach trigger points that stretching cannot. The nutrition background is not a footnote. It is why his plans account for how you recover between visits, not only what happens on the table.
Dr. Brown built this practice around one rule: the person in front of you gets the full session and the full attention. That means one therapist, one plan, and a straight answer about what is driving your pain and what should change first. He leads the team the same way he treats, through teaching, mentorship, and a standard that does not drop between your first visit and your last.
