Nick Rinard Physical Therapy not just a learning environment for patients

From Wisconsin to Oregon: A DPT Students Perspective

My journey to the Oregon began in early August as I traveled from the Midwest town of La Crosse, WI. As a graduate student in any physical therapy program you are expected to perform at a high academic level every day. This didn’t change when I began my 4-week clinical at the Nick Rinard Physical Therapy clinic.

I began my time with Nick in a whirlwind. We started with a full head of steam and never looked back. Each patient was treated with special attention and an individual plan of care. Patients came in to see Nick for every ailment under the sun and there was always something that Nick was able to give the patient, even if it was just information that no medical professional had ever told the patient. I was amazed at the results Nick was able to achieve with his approach to physical therapy, using the mechanical diagnosis therapy. His approach puts the tools of treatment in the hands of the patient, and the results speak for themselves.

Each day has been a new learning opportunity, leaving me with tools to use in my future practice. I am very grateful for this opportunity and the time Nick has taken to answer my questions and challenge me to be the best future PT possible. As a future physical therapist, I would highly recommend the Nick Rinard Physical Therapy Clinic. These clinicians have the experience, skill, knowledge and care that go above and beyond what is expected. If you find yourself stuck with pain, lack of mobility, or just need a medical professional to explain what’s going on Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is the first place you should go.

Miki’s Perspective: As a DPT Candidate and Patient

As a PT student exposed to the McKenzie Method for the first time, I observed therapeutic results that appeared miraculous in their efficiency and expediency. It was eye-opening to learn the principles of MDT and the systematic logical approach to classifying and treating notoriously difficult-to-treat conditions including chronic debilitating back pain. Many patients I observed confessed they had battled back pain for decades and tried everything, including pharmacology, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, as well as craniosacral therapy.

When I was injured in a car accident, I received McKenzie treatment and felt better within the first 2 weeks. In this car accident, I had been rear-ended at high velocity on the freeway, and was recovering from a fracture. My treatment included rest (lying down for 10 minutes) to reduce inflammation and gentle range of motion exercises. This was doable despite a busy schedule and I was able to resume my regular workload sooner than anticipated.

Previously, I had been rear-ended twice at lower velocities, and pursued chiropractic and massage treatment both times. Chiropractic involved 3 visits per week initially, and went on for a year. This took a lot of precious time out of my schedule and came at a high financial expense. At the time, I noticed I felt better whenever I stayed active, but the sharp pain in my neck and back returned several times per week. I felt unable to manage my pain and thought I needed the chiropractor to “fix me.”

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy Portland Oregon Logo GreenAt Nick Rinard Physical Therapy I achieved a pain free full return to function in less than 2 months. Over the last 4 weeks, I only required 2-3 visits and was able to manage exacerbations of pain mostly on my own since I knew what exercises would provide relief. In addition to effective treatment, I was happy with the way Nick and his team treat everyone. I always felt welcome and appreciated, like a member of the family.

As both a student and patient of MDT, I am thrilled at the results it provides.

Patient perspective:

McKenzie is initially less hands-on compared to other PT approaches. The patient is an active participant in healing, and engages in a personalized home program from day one. Education is an integral aspect of treatment. This empowers the patient to understand the cause of their ailment, and provides the patient with tools to remedy recurrences or exacerbations. McKenzie treatment is a great investment of a patient’s time and funds, as it provides a toolkit to effectively self-manage pain.

Physical Therapist (PT) perspective:

McKenzie therapy is a disciplined classification system with a logical testing protocol that guides treatment. The classifications and associated interventions and progressions can be applied to many health conditions. Having a clear protocol helps the therapist stay focused and effective when the clinical presentation appears unclear. MDT includes the patient as an educated, active partner and decreases patient dependency on passive treatment mechanisms. Patients tend to obtain good results quicker and need fewer visits compared to other therapeutic approaches. MDT is based on understanding the mechanical and physiologic events of spinal derangements, altered tissue, and inflammation. It is logical and effective.

How MDT is different:

McKenzie therapy provides a clear, well-organized protocol to assess, classify, and treat health conditions appropriate for physical therapy. Treatment consists of limited, low-dosed and highly targeted exercises designed to provide clarity of diagnosis. This serves as the dependent variable whose effect is measured and helps clarify the clinical picture. Patient’s response to treatment is generally assessed within 48 hours, and fine-tuned/altered/progressed according to findings. Due to this disciplined and focused approach, MDT frequently resolves common conditions including back pain and neck pain in less visits, and therefore at substantial financial and time savings.
