Physical therapists, and the licensed physical therapist assistants (PTAs) they may team with, provide care across the lifespan to anyone of any ability. They diagnose musculoskeletal conditions and create personalized treatment plans that help you:
improve mobility and function
manage pain and other chronic conditions
recover from injury and surgery
potentially avoid pain medications and surgery
prevent future injury and chronic disease

In most cases in Oregon, you can schedule an appointment for a PT evaluation without a physician's referral. Our compassionate team is here to answer your questions and help you decide if PT is right for you.
High Standards & Quality Care
Today’s PT graduates earn a doctor of physical therapy degree (DPT) and have the most comprehensive training in musculoskeletal conditions of any profession. Physical Therapist Assistants also have extensive education in PT and are licensed to carry out all aspects of PT treatment programs. They are held to the same continuing education requirements for licensure as a physical therapist and always work collaboratively and under the supervision of the PT.
