I have needed physical therapy a few times for injuries. This place is hands down THE BEST PT place i've ever gone to. They were able to achieve pain reduction first visit- other places i've gone it took weeks. Bud was amazing and professional.

Despite the pain, my husband has full range of motion after knee replacement. Could not ask for anything better! They know what needs to be done. Now I am going for hip therapy, Joe is at it again, but with me I do not need as intensive therapy to get results. Getting back to health is their goal, and they find the way to do that. As with anything, it may take trying a few different methods, but they only can do as much as you help them with.

I have gone to Chehalem PT off and on over the past 13 years. Each of my issues--plantar faciitis, neck strain, back issues, arm and shoulder muscle strain have been handled effectively and professionally. I walked into Chehalem PT today with a sore and nagging neck and the headache to go with the pain. I walked out 45 minutes feeling good! Other places don't seem as committed and skilled in having a patient leave better than when they came. The knowledge and effective response to an issue is invaluable to me. Thank you, Yelp for this way of acknowledging quality care. Thank you, Bud

My doctor was hoping to spare me from surgery and she suggested I go once and then see how I feel about it. I went in for an umbilical hernia to see what kind of exercises or what I can or can not do.. I was shown 3 exercises in a span of about 10 minutes. My therapist said she had an exercise sheet for me to take home, and in her absence I waited in the little room. 10 minutes later I
