Bryan Cloutier
Bryan founded Breakthrough PT on the premise of providing superior, individualized care to a community that he lives in and understands.
Bryan has been working as an outpatient orthopedic therapist since 2008. Over the last 15 years he has expanded his skillset, being certified in dry needling since 2010 as well as specializing in vestibular rehabilitation. He also specializes in working with fitness athletes but enjoys working with people of all ages and abilities.
Bryan has a strong desire to help people improve patients “healthspans”. He feels it is important that everyone be resilient enough to participate in regular activities as long as possible through their lifespan. This is why his approach to rehabilitation is heavily focused on preventing future injuries and helping to develop long term strategies to achieve this. While getting you out of pain is the first step, it is more important that each person learn how to keep the pain from returning long term. Bryan grew up in Northern NH and initially spent time working in an outpatient clinic in his hometown honing his skills and developing his approach to rehab. He married his wife and relocated to Saco in 2015 to raise their family here. In his free time, Bryan enjoys staying active, getting outside as much as he can, going on hikes, camping and snowshoeing.

Sam Methot
Originally from Biddeford Maine, Sam completed his Bachelors Degree in Athletic Training at the University of New England in 2017. From there he progressed to Elon University in North Carolina to earn his Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy. During his time as a student, Sam gained an appreciation for the application of functional training and the importance of regaining functional skills beyond those needed for everyday activities.
Sam’s treatment approach leans toward soft tissue management through manual therapies and exercise training designed around the functional movements associated with a total task. Since finishing his doctoral program Sam has also pursued post graduate training in Dry Needling. Sam’s favorite aspect of Physical Therapy is founded in the idea that patients deserve to regain the functional capacity to do what they love.
