Lindsay is a pelvic health and orthopedic physical therapist who graduated with honors from Pacific University, earning her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT). She also holds a Master’s Degree (MS) in Exercise Science which has allowed her to develop a deep understanding of exercise prescription and programming. Lindsay’s post-doctorate education specialities include pelvic health (Herman&Wallace trained), women’s health; pregnancy and postpartum treatment and corrective exercise; running-related injuries and treatment; low back pain; general orthopedics; and fall risk prevention for older adults. In addition to the aforementioned specialties, Lindsay enjoys working with individuals living with autoimmune conditions and is involved with the Kaleidoscope Fighting Lupus Foundation. Lindsay’s clinical philosophy is rooted in client-centered care combining manual therapy (when needed) with self-management strategies that foster empowerment to reach meaningful, lasting, and intrinsically motivated health. Lindsay is a native Oregonian and when not working, she is spending quality time with her family.
Rebecca graduated from Tennessee State University with her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT). During her clinical practice, she has developed an interest in working with older adults, as well as in pelvic health. She has completed extensive specialty training in pelvic floor physical therapy from Herman & Wallace including yoga therapy and myofascial manual therapy techniques. Rebecca is an OutCare affirming provider, and enjoys working with patients of all genders and body types to improve bowel, bladder and sexual health. Additionally, she has extensive clinical experience working with hypermobility, chronic pain, and with neurodivergent individuals to make long lasting changes in daily function.
Outside the clinic, you might find Rebecca at a Winterhawks or Pickles game, playing TTRPGs with friends, or at one of her favorite local coffee shops.
