When you are having total knee replacement surgery, picking the right physical therapy team is paramount to fostering a recovery of strength and stamina. North Lake Physical Therapy in Tigard is that kind of place. They have a rock star team of professionals!!! My therapist is Scott Casares. He is exactly the professional you want guiding your rehabilitation. Caring and intuitive, his initial postoperative assessment was thorough and set the basis for the weeks to come. He directed the therapy course, adding exercises and strength training appropriate to my level and time of healing. Each week he personally assessed my knee's progress. Using massage, stretching, flexing and range of motion, he skillfully gauged progress from week to week. The clinic has a myriad of machines and instruments that facilitate your healing and strengthening. The technicians Dan, Jeff, and Jessica are excellent and facilitate your progress throughout the clinic, and many exercises and therapies. During my rehab I witnessed caring attention with everyone they encountered; continually monitoring the myriad of patients in the clinic to ensure rehab routines were performed safely and in the exact manner that optimizes the effort the patient is putting forth. I was SO please with the rehab of my left knee in April that I returned when I had my right knee replaced in July. And my course is tracking well, just as it did in April. If you are looking for a TERRIFIC physical therapy team, I most highly recommend these professionals. Additionally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the second therapist in the clinic, Steve Yates. While Steve was not my therapist, over the course of my two-knee rehabs, and numerous clinic visits, I witnessed many of his patient encounters and would be very comfortable with him as my therapist. read more
