TheraMotive Expands to Maine with Northeastern’s Roux Institute
Introduction
Welcome to the next chapter of TheraMotive’s journey—transforming mobile physical therapy delivery, anytime, anywhere. From our roots in New York City to our planned expansion into Maine, we’re growing with purpose. Today, we’re proud to announce our newest investor and partner: the Roux Institute at Northeastern University.
Their investment through the Future of Healthcare Founder Residency is more than capital—it’s a commitment to our shared mission of making on-demand healthcare accessiblce to everyone, regardless of ZIP code. So what does that mean in practice? Let’s dive into our vision.
From NYC to Maine — Extending Our Reach
TheraMotive began in New York City with a bold, clear mission: to deliver high-quality physical therapy directly to patients’ doors—especially for those who face mobility challenges, limited local clinics, or transportation barriers.
Our AI-enabled mobile clinics, equipped with VR and wearable technology, now serve seniors, post-operative patients, and underserved communities across the city’s diverse neighborhoods. We are ready to bring this same tech-forward care model to Maine.
With support from the Roux Institute, TheraMotive is one of only ten startups selected for its Future of Healthcare Founder Residency, embedding us in Maine’s health-innovation ecosystem and connecting us with clinical, academic, and industry leaders.
Why Maine? Meeting Seniors Where They Are
Why choose Maine? The state has the highest proportion of residents aged 65 and older in the U.S.—22.5 percent as of 2022.
Many rural seniors still lack reliable access to rehabilitation and physical therapy. TheraMotive’s mobile model closes this gap by bringing licensed therapists, digital diagnostics, and real-time progress tracking directly to patients.
Partnering with Northern Light Health, MaineHealth, and the Roux Institute, we’re proving that ZIP code should never determine quality of care—and that physical therapy in Maine can be both innovative and equitable.
Backing from the Roux Institute — More Than Capital
The Future of Healthcare Founder Residency isn’t just funding—it’s a launchpad. It offers strategic support, mentorship, and unparalleled access to Maine’s healthcare ecosystem, including top hospital systems, venture advisors, and public-health experts.
Roux’s goal to drive innovation throughout northern New England aligns perfectly with our mission to ensure healthcare on demand isn’t limited by distance. Their hands-on support helps us navigate clinical validation, regulatory compliance, and community partnerships support we couldn’t easily get alone.
Together, we’re building the foundation to scale TheraMotive’s model to more states, with the same mission: make physical therapy convenient, data-driven, and accessible for all.
Let’s move healthcare forward—together
If you’re a hospital leader, insurer, non-profit, or healthcare investor passionate about healthcare on demand for all, join us in this mission.
