Back and Neck
Back and neck pain rarely start where they hurt. We test how your hips, spine, and shoulders move and load, find what’s driving the pain, and build you back so you can lift, swing, and sit through a workday without guarding.
A full movement, strength, and orthopedic evaluation, not just a look at where it hurts.
Hands-on treatment plus targeted strength work, progressed every session.
A personalized program in our app between visits, and retesting so you see the progress in numbers.

“After six weeks of working with Jay I went from consistent severe low back pain on any movement to pain-free. Coming from an athletic background I’ve always struggled finding value in physical therapy after my experience with athletic trainers in college. Jay put together a comprehensive plan to get me back to better.”
“Back in 2016 I herniated discs in my back. Here I am 9 years later doing everything I did before. I did not have surgery. I saw Jay. Jay taught me how to manage symptoms, should they return. I learned how important it is to be strong but also mobile and flexible.”
“I had some lower back pain and discomfort. … I left each appointment with a clear understanding of my physical challenges and a path to recovery. I’ve now met with him 4 times and I have nearly no back pain remaining. Additionally, he’s helped with other ailments I’ve had such as shoulder pain and knee pain.”
“I began my journey barely being able to walk in the door and sit down. My pain was through the roof. … By the end of the first session I was walking out with relief and a training plan of stretches and exercises that turned me around in just a few weeks.”

Usually not. Most back pain improves with the right movement and strength plan. If your evaluation shows signs that need imaging or a physician, we’ll refer you.
In most cases, yes. We modify your training instead of stopping it, so you stay strong while the pain settles.
No. Oregon allows direct access, so you can book an evaluation with us directly.
