Clinical Conversations

We have SAFELY reopened and are here for you!

 

 “Thank you” to all of our patients who were able and continued to continue care and stay in contact with Nick Rinard PT since Oregon’s “stay at home” order on March 23.  Nick Rinard took the proactive decision to stop in-person visits on March 13 to protect the health and safety of everyone in the community. 

New patients and established patients found our telehealth visits very valuable as we were able to continue to diagnose, educate and offer the tools they needed to get through this difficult time.  It was a challenging, but really fun experience to connect with patients on telehealth, and also to get you feeling better and in less pain! 

Since the easing of stay at home orders on May 1st Nick Rinard Physical Therapy was able to re-open our SW Capitol clinic doors as of May 4th  (Monday through Friday 8am-6pm).

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy loves treating you and we are so happy open not only our doors but our hands and hearts to get you the results you have come to know and trust for the last 20 years.

Physical therapy is about hope!

“When he handed me Nick Rinard’s card, my chiropractor said he sends his difficult cases to him.

I had persistent back pain that didn’t respond to chiropractic treatments or traditional physical therapy.

With pain being a great motivator, I called Nick’s office.

My path to recovery wasn’t a straight one.

To my surprise I need a total hip replacement. Nick was with me every step of the way and provided a personalized treatment plan both pre-and post- surgery.

Nick helped me navigate the path from debilitating pain to regaining function.

I can now about basic day-to-day activities like sleeping, getting out of bed, sitting, standing, going up and down stairs, and making through the entire grocery store.

I feel strong and bolder both physically and mentally.

Nick understands that physical therapy is more than just physical.

It is also about hope.”

Heal faster! Go to Nick Rinard Physical Therapy First!

“I had seen a previous PT for a few visits and didn’t feel any better – I thought my sprained ankle was a lost cause.

On my first visit with Dr. Rinard, he diagnosed my issue and provided immediate relief.

I had several PT appointments and felt constant improvement.

I’m back to running and playing volleyball and I could have done it without his help/patience/understanding and knowledge.

Thank you so much! ”

Getting patients results since 1996

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy- where patients come to get results from physical therapy!

“I had lower back pain for the past 4 years & previous physical therapy visits & exercises only had temporary results.
After only 6 visits I can go back to my regularly scheduled daily HIT classes.
I’m so confident that if I had another pain issue in the future I can come back to Nick & get it fixed.”

Struggling with knee pain? Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is the place for you.

We can get you back to walking, exercising, running, enjoying your sport again….

“I had horrible knee pain that was keeping me from being a mobile as I wanted.

Even just going up and downstairs even hurt.

Dr. Rinard was amazing- best PT experience I’ve ever had.

Exercises were easy to do + only had once/week appointments after the first week.

I can no go down stairs with no pain, one legged lunges without pain, play tennis without pain, + do 5K walks or more without knee pain.

THANK YOU ALL!”

Results from the heart

 

Results from the heart.

Thank you Terry for sharing!

“Sometime ago, I was injured rather severely, causing a constant agonizing nerve pain. A nurse at the hospital where I was examined recommended Diagnostic Physical Therapy; namely Nick Rinard and his associates.

Under Nick’s careful supervision, these highly trained professionals diagnosed my condition and started treatment immediately, and gave explicit instructions for exercises I was to do at home between visits.

Not only did the pain improve, but also my mental outlook, as the world suddenly seemed a worthwhile place to be. Sessions took place daily at first, then weekly, and eventually my condition was so much improved that I can now live a normal life.

Nick and his team of professionals have achieved a level of care and skill I had not previously seen, with a superb knowledge of the human body, especially the arts and sciences associated with muscle, bone, nerve and sinew, as well as an unexpected understanding of one’s mental and spiritual outlook.”
