“I was referred to Nick by my orthopedic specialist because I was suffering extreme arthritic neck pain, which greatly limited my mobility and caused debilitating headaches.
My outcome after 4 visits…
– I know how to quickly get rid of my now, very rare, headaches
– My neck feels normal again. Range of motion is back and it’s moving without pain.
Thank you Nick! For creating such a warm and caring atmosphere. AND sharing your knowledge to help me get better. And the laughs!
Thank you Kari ! For your massages, tips and beautiful smiles.
I recommend your practice to all!”

“I had continual cervical pain related to a motor vehicle accident.
The pain affected my ability to sleep, read, work, drive, watch tv, and turn my head without pain.
Now, I can do all the above activities and recreational sport activities.”

“I came to Nick Rinard with back and leg pain that not being addressed by my current healthcare provider (because the current provider had no openings for PT).
I chose Nick Rinard because I had had a good experience there for an unrelated problem in the past.
Nick discussed my problems, possible PT options, “fixes,” & a strategy for exploring the options.
We tried a couple of alternatives & settled on a path.
I am happy with the results especially the pain reductions.
I felt Nick wasn’t me to have a positive outcome & kept me fully informed regarding why we were doing what we were doing, what he expected & importantly when he thought we had made all the progress we would make.
I am very happy that I came & would certainly do it again.
PS I paid for the treatments myself & regard it as money very well spent.”

Thank you Troy for sharing your Nick Rinard Physical Therapy experience on google.
“As a competitive weightlifter, the pain in my back was seriously stalling my training.
Nick really listened and understood my goals and my issues and helped me get rid of the pain I’d been dealing with for over 6 months with only 2 visits and some assigned stretches.
I couldn’t believe it!
I’d seen doctors and other PTs and was about to get an MRI so I could get cortisone shots which was going to take months and only mask the pain if it solved it at all.
My experience was THE BEST.”

- No unknown ingredients.
“Severe back pain/herniated disc.
PT allowed me to avoid cortisone injection or surgery.
Initial progress was spot on.

Thank you!

better, few visits, Nick Rinard physical therapy, pain-free, Physical Therapy, Portland Oregon, results
We have all seen it, heard it, and even experienced it. 12-24 visits of Physical Therapy without results.
This is not the way physical therapy should be.
Patients should expect results at every visit- notice a change- see a path forward and a clear end to treatment.
“Nick is very professional and ethical.
Although I was approved for six visits, Nick felt that all progress to be made was accomplished in three visits.
This was very important to me.
He should be commended for business ethics.
Lastly, I am much better than when the PT started!”
