Cyclosporiasis is here in Maine!

We need to show medical students and young physicians that primary care is still worth practicing. We believe DPC is the way!

And what to do about it

So proud of our DPC Alliance member, Dr. Hagopian, and the movement we are creating! AND IN THE WASHINGTON POST, no less!

When surgery became unavoidable, a man with no insurance shopped around for the best price for a hernia repair — and saved thousands by traveling out of state.

What a great service, Cara!

What is a Pessary?
A pessary is a small, medical device placed inside the va**na to help lift and support the pelvic organs. It can reduce pressure, improve comfort, and allow you to move, exercise, and live your life with fewer symptoms. Pessaries come in different shapes and sizes, and a proper fitting ensures the best support and comfort.

Pessary Fitting Services at Cara Lyon Physical Therapy
Skip the long wait times and rushed appointments. Pessary fittings are now available right in the clinic, provided by a pelvic floor physical therapist trained in pessary assessment and fitting.

No need to schedule with an OBGYN.
No months‑long waitlists.
Appointments available as soon as the same or next week.

Each fitting session is 60 minutes, giving you the time and attention needed for a thorough, comfortable, and personalized experience. We’ll make sure your pessary fits well, supports your prolapse, and allows you to move the way you want without increased symptoms.

You’ll leave with confidence, clear instructions, and ongoing support.

Dr. Higgins sat down with Maine Biz to discuss our experience with Direct Primary Care. Lovely highlights of other DPC Physicians in our area, including Dr. Heidi Larson and Dr. Erin Oakley. Let's continue to spread the word and help heal health care.

A growing number of health care providers are embracing direct primary care, a health care model that’s gaining ground as health care costs soar and access becomes ever more uncertain.

Let’s strengthen from the inside out at Pure Barre in Portland Maine!

I’m teaching a free pelvic floor workshop on Saturday, July 18th from 11–12pm at Pure Barre in Portland on 477 Fore St.
We’ll break down how your pelvic floor supports every tuck, lift, hold, and pulse — and how better activation can elevate your form and control in class.
