Have you been shocked by what your insurance covers?
As providers we have watched health insurance plans go from zero to affordable deductibles to HIGH deductibles that apply for ancillary services, including PT just within the last few years.
Many of our patients are unaware of that fact and sound genuinely surprised when we verify insurance benefits.
Since you may now face a high deductible at any PT clinic you attend, it makes sense for you to go where you will get the best results!
Our results have been measured, and one visit at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is worth two visits at the average Portland area PT clinic.
Nick Rinard patients report 92.5% over-all improvement (versus 73.43% Portland area), in only 6.5 visits (versus 11.16 visits Portland area).
May Nick Rinard Physical Therapy wish you a very happy Labor Day weekend. Please continue to be safe, smart, take care of yourself and one another.
Our office will be closed Monday September 8th.
Our therapists and entire staff will continue to practice social distancing through the holiday weekend to ensure we can guarantee that our clinic is safe upon both your and our return.

“When quarantine began, I was in the middle of treatment for elbow, back and neck injuries caused by a December motor vehicle accident. I began lobbying my PIP carrier for tele-health sessions and ultimately received approval. They agreed to consider the treatments as if they occurred “in office.”
I have been able to consult with Nick about the body part causing the most pain at the time of the appointment. He has been able to review my exercises with me and modify them to decrease pain. He has worked with me to determine whether or not I am pushing too much or not enough to strengthen muscles. He can give me new exercises and check that I am executing them properly.
Nick has been able to watch me perform my lumbar and thoracic exercises. I adjust the camera so he can watch me while I am on the floor or bed. We can discuss the range of movement, how my pain levels are in comparison to my last in-person appointment and whether I am still performing the exercises correctly. He has inquired about my pain levels before and while exercising and modified the exercises I do to get better results.
For my neck, I can come closer to the camera to point out the exact part of my neck that is causing a problem. He can give me instructions on manual manipulation, heat and arnica for pain relief. He checks to see whether or not the pain is reducing or increasing while the exercises are being performed.
I am learning to better describe the site of pain, understand how the muscles respond to the exercises and how I can adjust what I do as I get stronger without creating a new problem. I can discuss whether or not I am overdoing an exercise and how to handle an exercise that suddenly causes a new pain.
Nick continues to evaluate, re-evaluate my progress and provide additional exercises or instructions as needed. We have a plan for increasing my stamina by using an exercise bike. There are still sites which need manipulations and pressure that can only occur in person. Until widespread testing and tracking occur, I must remain in quarantine due to my age and my asthma. While I would prefer in person visits, I have found tele-health to provide me with the best option for continuing treatment under quarantine conditions.” Bernadette
Did you know that the majority of patients at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy are actually returning patients referred from years ago, or have been referred by a past patient?
We have asked our patients how we compared to other PT they had tried. Here’s a small sample of what they had to say:
‘The other PT office was more like mass production-routing patients through.’ –Bryan
‘(Nick Rinard PT is) way better. You actually fix things. ’ -Georgeanne
‘Nick Rinard PT taught me how to fix the problem myself-other therapists didn’t.’ -Gail
Why is Nick Rinard Physical Therapy different?
-Specialized MDT training allows our physical therapists to target the cause of a patient’s pain, not just treat the symptoms.
-Patients see a physical therapist at each visit-never a PT Assistant.
-Exercises are simple and can be done anywhere. No gym, no binder full of exercises. Most of our patients cancontrol their symptoms with just one targeted exercise!
Patients get the tools they need to succeed at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy!

Here is what patients said about how Nick Rinard helped them after a car accident:
“Within 6 weeks, my neck went from pain and spasms and weakness to where I couldn’t lift my head off the bed, back to full range of motion and endurance for skiing three times this past week!” ~Jessica
“This was the third PT program I had been referred to since my MVA. This was the only one of three that is providing relief on a continuing, improving basis for my mid to high back pain.” ~Paul
“I am now able to wash my hair and lots of other activities without my left arm getting spasms-and if it starts to act up, I can stop it myself. I can also sleep on my left arm again-I was not able to before my treatment.” ~ Beverly

Don’t allow the heat to keep you from enjoying the summer activities you love, but be smart about your time in the sun. Here are some tips to help you celebrate and be at your best this weekend:
• Be patient with your body. If you regularly exercise outdoors, it can take up to 2 weeks for you to acclimate to the hotter conditions.
• Pay attention to the humidity level. High humidity means that the body can’t cool off as efficiently (sweat won’t evaporate as readily). This can also lead to increased fluid loss as your body continues to try and regulate its temperature, so drink more fluids and reduce the intensity of your activity.
• Sweat is made up of more than just water. Be sure that you are replenishing electrolytes if you are active for a prolonged period.
• Come to terms with the fact that you will be slower. Hot days are not the time to try and beat your best time-just enjoy yourself!
• Stay hydrated! Make sure that whatever you are doing, you bring water with you. It is more difficult for your body to regulate its temperature under dehydration, increasing risk of heat stroke.
• If you can, plan your activities for earlier in the day or late at night when the temperatures are cooler.
Always be safe, be smart, take care of yourself and one another.
