RESILIENCE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WELLNESS, LLC
Recover What Moves You
At Resilience Physical Therapy, care begins with understanding what is driving your symptoms and determining a practical path forward. Each session is one-on-one, focused, and unrushed — with time taken to bring clarity to your movement and your goals.
This is not a high-volume clinic model. Care is collaborative and structured, built around thoughtful assessment and steady progression rather than short-term fixes. The aim is not just relief, but restoring clarity and confidence in how you move.
WHY CHOOSE RESILIENCE PHYSICAL THERAPY?
What Our Clients Are Saying
Jason was very thorough in his assessment and addressed the current problem but also others that
may have been contributing. He used a multi-module approach and used as many tools as possible to
improve the injury as well as prevent future injury. He created a path to not only get me back to where I
was before injury but better. Jason provides excellent one-on-one patient care that is second to none. I
am so grateful for his help.
Jennifer K
I had a mixed experience with my last PT. On my last visits to another practice I had a different therapist, who wasn't as informed of my case. I was one of two patients she was working with during my time and felt that I wasn't getting what I needed out of that visit. When I would ask questions about the billing they would tell me to call corporate, corporate would belittle me when I talked with them. At that moment, I felt just like a number, and I felt processed. This isn't the case with Jason. When you work with Jason you have his undivided attention. He takes the time to set goals with you and sets up each visit to work towards those goals. He takes time to answer each question and giving you the knowledge you need to reach your goals. I also really appreciate that his billing is also simple, I don't have any surprises or attitudes that you receive at other practices.
Nicole Bernier
Jason did a very thorough evaluation and was able to figure out very quickly where my pain was coming from. I felt that therapy sessions and home exercises were well planned and designed specifically for me. Jason taught me to pay attention to how I am doing an exercise and to do it correctly. He gave me lots of feedback, answered all my questions, and was very encouraging. I am back to taking long walks, cross country skiing, and working out in the gym. The programming was excellent. The gradual, progressive exercises worked well for me. I also feel that I think more about my body - how it works, how I move, and how to help myself when I do feel discomfort.

I was nervous to start PT because I’ve heard how painful and hard it can be. Jason tailored my program to exactly what was necessary to keep me moving forward without discomfort. Jason is a wealth of knowledge and his extensive experience is obvious.Not only did he teach me how to progress but also how to rest. Not only did he rehab my shoulder, but he taught me to be attentive on how I move my body in general. This has empowered me to continue my PT at home and given me the confidence I need to be successful! The attention Jason gives to his patients surpassed all my expectations in a physical therapist.

"I enjoy running in my free time, and I have not been able to run pain free in many years. I haven't been able to do anything pain free- until now. For the first time in 16 years, I can confidently state that I am pain free after just 6 short weeks. Jay's approach teaches that it's about mindset, quality of sleep, setting goals, and being mindful of our body throughout the day. As a patient I've always looked at providers to "fix it and make me better." I now realize it takes a firm commitment from within if you really want to achieve your goal, and that you need to be disciplined. You also need a committed provider like Jay who knows the right steps to recommend in order to put you on a recovery course."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT CONDITIONS DO YOU TREAT?
With over 20 years of experience we are happy to offer high quality care for a wide variety of conditions including neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, foot and ankle pain, and jaw pain (often called TMD or TMJ dysfunction). We have helped many patients come back after surgeries of all types including ACL repair, rotator cuff repair and spinal surgeries. We also have extensive experience treating chronic pain, deconditioning, balance disorders (including fall risk management), and vertigo. Our treatment focuses on helping you get back what is important to you: gardening, sledding with your kids or grandkids, going after a new personal best back squat, or returning to sport.
​
WHAT DOES BOARD CERTIFIED IN ORTHOPEDICS MEAN? DO ALL PHYSICAL THERAPISTS HAVE THIS DESIGNATION?
Physical Therapists who have taken the American Board of Physical Therapies examination in orthopedics and successfully passed it are Board Certified in Orthopedics, and have the letters "OCS" (for Orthopedic Clinical Specialist) listed as part of their title. Not all physical therapists carry this designation- in fact, according to the most recently available statistics, only roughly 6% of physical therapists in the US carry this designation. Jason felt that it was important to pursue the OCS certification as a way of demonstrating the dedication to his client's care that Resilience Physical Therapy strives to provide.
WHAT TYPES OF HEALTH INSURANCE DO YOU ACCEPT?
Resilience works with Medicare as a non-participating provider and with work-related injury claims (Workers’ Compensation). We are otherwise an out-of-network practice.
Operating out-of-network allows care to be structured around clinical judgment and patient goals rather than insurance-driven visit limits. This structure allows care to focus on thoughtful assessment and appropriate progression, without being constrained by visit authorizations or preset timelines.
Payment is collected at the time of service, and documentation is provided for patients who wish to pursue potential reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.
For additional details, please refer to the Out-of-Network FAQ on this page.
DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?
With the exception of Medicare, no you do not need a referral to see a physical therapist in the state of Maine. Some insurances do require a referral for reimbursement for out of network visits. Check with your insurance for further details. We have created a specific FAQ sheet for Out of Network information.
WHERE DO YOU SEE PATIENTS?
We are excited to offer our services in two locations: We are located at 34 Center St. in Auburn, Maine (across the street from Goldworks and in the same building as Maine Dentistry and Perfect Balance), and at Prime 360 at 41 Stevens Mill Rd.
WHAT IS YOUR NEW PATIENT PROCEDURE?
You may schedule your first visit directly online. If you have questions before scheduling, you are always welcome to call—we’re happy to help clarify whether our services are a good fit.
After scheduling, we may reach out to gather any additional information and ensure your visit is set up appropriately. This outreach is not always necessary.
You will receive intake forms electronically, which can be completed entirely online prior to your first visit.
Your initial appointment will focus on a comprehensive assessment of your injury (for physical therapy) and/or your movement and functional capacity (for mobility or performance-based services).
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for movement; athletic apparel is recommended.
WHO WE ARE
Jason Burtchell, PT, OCS, Cred. MDT
Jason is a physical therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience and one of a handful of clinicians in the state of Maine to obtain his McKenzie Certification and Orthopedic Clinical Specialist designation. He is a former CrossFit trainer, and understands the importance of bridging the gap between rehabilitation and return to function. He thrives on helping people get back to activities that are important to them, including Power Lifting, CrossFit, trail running, and sports. He gains just as much joy helping people get back activities such playing with their children, returning to work, and gardening. He recently worked with a patient on navigating uneven ground for tapping Maple trees. He is an avid participant and student of movement, and enjoys weight lifting, Olympic lifting, interval training, hiking, biking and other activities. He also understands the challenges of continuing to stay active and healthy as we age, and the value of doing so for longevity and quality of life. He loves to help his patients feel better and move better to achieve their short and long term goals. Jason understands the value of listening to his client's stories and working one on one with them to help them understand how to get better and stay better.
