Specialties
Since 1989, we have been providing individualized massage therapy, manual therapy and other integrative therapies with a strong focus on understanding and restoring function, and achieving noticeable, lasting results. By studying and approaching the body as a network of interconnected, co-working structures, we treat clients with a range of chronic pain and injury, from site-specific muscular tension to broader-level dysfunctions such as whiplash, migraines, sciatica, joint immobility, tennis elbow, nerve impingement, and much more.
We use techniques such as proprioceptive neuromuscular rehabilitation, myofascial release, the Mulligan method, trigger point therapy, and much more. A more comprehensive list can be viewed on our website.
History
Established in 1989.
Kennebec Therapeutics was founded in 1989 by Beth Labaugh, BS, LMT, a massage therapist specializing in orthopedic massage and integrative techniques, and over time has routinely included a number of other massage therapists and structural bodywork practitioners with a wide variety of approaches with the same goal of pain management for clients. Over the course of its lifetime, Kennebec Therapeutics has been located in Hallowell, Manchester, and most recently downtown Augusta, where it was located in the Olde Federal Building on Water St. for over 10 years. In more than one location, the office has been proudly located on the Kennebec River.
Beth retired in June 2024 after 36 years in the field, and the practice was handed down to her apprentice, Linette, whom she still graciously mentors in her free time.
