Bend patients who finally got answers

I went to PhysioFIT in severe nerve pain. After two sessions Michael was sure I had a herniated disc in my neck pinching the nerves down my right arm. After 3–4 weeks together, my pain went from an 8/9 to a 1.

Michael is a WIZARD! 20 years of low back pain is finally improving thanks to him. He nailed it on day 1 with a detailed assessment and plan. I'm in less pain and learning to properly strength train — a game changer.

I'd suffered patella knee pain for years. I saw all kinds of doctors and a knee surgeon to find the root cause. Scott Johnson was the first to correctly diagnose exactly what was going on. The exercises were unique, but they really worked.

Michael has been working through a tricky hip injury with me. He's patient, compassionate, and realistic, and gives me options to keep living my life rather than telling me I can't. I look forward to going in every week to progress.

Michael gave me at-home exercises to keep healing and keep me from getting hurt again, while pushing me during appointments to get stronger. He drives for a successful program, instilling life and health changes to heal you long term.

Physical therapist assessing a patient's jaw for TMJ pain in Bend, Oregon

Right now, you might be…

You've been told to wear a night guard and wait it out. You bounce between the dentist and your doctor with no real plan, and chewing or waking up still hurts. TMJ pain rarely lives in the jaw alone — it's the jaw, neck, and muscles working against each other. We assess all three and fix what's driving it.
