What We Do

Northwest Therapy provides comprehensive physical therapy services. It is our belief that physical therapy is best accomplished when patient education and patient involvement are part of the development of the plan of care. Each of our therapists has extensive discussions with their patients about the treatment, outcome expectations, and specifically, the patient’s role and duties outside of the clinic environment. Our goal is for the patient to achieve maximum levels of functioning through the development of treatment programs that can be tailored to the individual patient.

Northwest Therapy is affiliated with Northwest Primary Care, which has been a provider of medical services in Portland for over 30 years. Our patients receive the same dedicated innovation for their rehabilitative needs as they do with their routine and advanced medical care. This continuum allows the patient’s progress to be monitored more thoroughly by both physicians and therapists.

Services At A Glance

Home Exercise Program Development

When you’re starting a new workout program, training for a 10K, or competing in a sport, letting us identify potential risks may help in your progress and performance.

Flexibility and Strength

Improving flexibility and strength is an asset in competition, achieving personal bests, or performing better in sports. We can guide you safely in this this process to help you achieve those goals.

Building your Stability

Stability can sometimes be a problem. If you've noticed that you've been losing your balance and falling, it might be a good time to check your balance. It's much easier to take precautionary measures to achieve optimal balance than it is to recover from a broken bone due to a fall. We will do an evaluation and then guide you toward a stronger and more stable lifestyle.
