“I came in after a knee replacement convinced I'd never hike again. Two years later I'm in the mountains every weekend, and back in the gym three mornings a week. ADAPT didn't fix me. They taught me how to keep getting better.”

Physical Therapy · Knee pain
Knee pain is information. Let's find what's really driving it.
Knees rarely fail on their own. The ankle that won't bend, the hip that won't rotate, the glute that fires late. That's usually the real story. When a joint hurts, the body finds a workaround, and the knee ends up paying for it. We find what's actually driving the pain and treat that.
- Knee pain is rarely just the knee. We find where your movement is compensating, then fix that
- Direct access in Oregon: no referral to get started, and your first visit is free
- One system, from a fresh injury through return-to-sport, not a handoff between strangers
What you're feeling
Is knee pain starting to shape what you'll do and what you skip?
Patellofemoral pain, meniscal irritation, IT band, tendinopathy, post-surgical recovery, and arthritis all live here. Common drivers underneath: an ankle that won't move, hips that won't load, a squat or landing pattern that's compensating, and one-sided loading from an old injury that never fully resolved. We look at how the whole leg moves, not just the joint that's loud.
What we usually hear- A.Pain going down stairs (not up; that's a different problem)
- B.Stiffness after sitting; clicks or pops you can hear
- C.Swelling after activity that takes a day to settle
- D.Sharp pain at the kneecap during squats or lunges
- E.Instability. The knee feels like it might give out

From your first visit to moving better for good.
01
Find it.
A 60-minute first visit with a PT or coach: postural pictures, a full movement assessment, baseline numbers. We find where your body is compensating, not just the joint that hurts.
02
Restore the movement.
Manual therapy, targeted programming, progressive loading, aimed at the movement vulnerability driving the pain, not around it. Same practitioner every visit, and the plan adjusts as your movement changes.
03
Reinforce it.
When your tissue can take it, the same system carries into classes and small-group training, reinforcing better movement about 3x a week until it's just how you live. Members come for relief and stay for years because the system keeps progressing.
How we work
Our approach to knee pain.
Movement assessment first, then manual therapy and corrective work to restore better mechanics. If you're post-surgical (TKA, ACL, meniscus), we coordinate with your surgeon's protocol and progress you back to load. From PT into full activity, it's the same system. Nothing gets dropped between the two.

“Sixty-eight years old. Came in for shoulder pain, stayed for the strength classes. The PT and the trainers are on the same team. Nobody else does that. My golf swing has never felt better.”

“I needed some adaptations to the exercises and Carly did great with that. I like how she checked in with me to see how I was doing. This was my first class in over 6 years. I have worked hard to get to this point. She gave me the confidence to know I can do this.”

Why ADAPT
Five reasons members come, and stay for a decade.
01
One system, not a handoff.
Your PT and your coach aren't running separate playbooks. They read the same intake and apply the same movement principles, so restoring better movement in the clinic and reinforcing it in training is one continuous plan, not a baton pass.
02
Direct access in Oregon: no referral required.
Skip the doctor's-office stop-over. Walk in, get assessed, start moving better. PT is cash-pay: only motor-vehicle-accident (PIP) insurance is billed.
03
Same practitioner every visit.
Continuity that compounds. Each session builds on the last because the same eyes track how your movement is changing, and consistency is what actually changes the body.
04
Long-arc, not quick-fix.
A few weeks of relief is fine. Decades of capability is the goal. Getting older doesn't mean giving things up. Members come in for one problem and stay for years because the system keeps progressing with them.
05
We read movement, not just imaging.
Imaging describes the structure. The movement assessment shows where your body is compensating and loading the wrong tissue. We work with what your body actually does, then restore it doing the right job.

What to expect
Get your week back from knee pain.
Acute irritation often quiets within a few sessions. Post-surgical timelines typically run eight to sixteen weeks depending on the procedure. Return-to-sport adds a 3-session program at the end so the first hard cut isn't a re-injury: exact timing varies with the knee in front of us.
Why the system works
- Comprehensive assessment. Postural pictures, full movement screen, and a baseline you can measure progress against. Numbers, not vibes.
- A plan built for your body.Shaped around your goals, your imaging, and what your body actually does, not what it's supposed to do.
- Same practitioner, every visit. Continuity that compounds. The plan adjusts as your movement changes.
- Reinforced until it sticks.As the pain quiets, the same system carries into classes and small-group training so the gains don't slide back.
