Westside Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: On May 1st 2013, I ruptured my Patella Tendon playing basketball! This is the worst injury I’ve ever experienced in all my years of playing sports, and as a former Division I college football player that’s saying a lot! The first thoughts that came to mind were the following: 1. find a great surgeon and 2. Find the right Physical Therapy group that has the expertise to help me deal with the challenges of this injury. I was referred to Westside Physical Therapy from my Head football Trainer at the University Of Cincinnati who spoke about their knowledge base with this injury and their ability to get me back on my feet. That says a lot given that Cincinnati is so far away, but the PT community is a tight knit group. It’s been 11 weeks since my surgery; Jim and the entire staff at Westside Physical Therapy have been completely focused on getting me back on my feet. During my first 2 weeks of PT, I couldn’t ride a stationary bike, drive a car or walk upstairs. I’m now driving again, riding a bike for at least thirty minutes and back in the gym to work on getting myself stronger. I’ve got a long way to go but I chose the right team at Westside to make it happen!! These guys are awesome!

Fantastic experience: Jim saved me from the knife - or at least delayed it for a long time to come! Advice from two different physicians was that surgery was probably the only solution available to relieve the pain and numbness I experienced from damage to my neck. But all they had to offer was trading one type of pain for another. Fortunately, I heard about the McKenzie method of physical therapy, which is used by Westside. Jim Cenova is well-versed in the use of the method, He partners with his patients to achieve their goals. After some trial and error, we settled on an approach which we used for a number of months, and which I can continue on my own. My neck pain and numbness have been reduced significantly. I no longer feel like surgery is in my immediate future, and am now armed with the knowledge of how to continue my own healing. I am very grateful to Jim for the work we did together, and would highly recommend him to others.

Fantastic experience: Amazing results. I spent eight years post surgery having recurring lower back problems that kept me from sports and activities I enjoyed. After eight weeks of work with Jim & staff, I have zero issues and am stronger than I have been in many years.

Fantastic experience: I went to Westside Physical Therapy after having double knee replacement surgery. Adam was my physical therapist and he was very knowledgeable about my condition. On my first appointment I was nervous and in pain, but Adam took a great deal of time listening and talking with me about my concerns, reassuring me that my feelings were normal after major surgery. I was impressed that he had read all the surgical documents from the doctor and could discuss them with me on the first visit. It reassured me that I was in capable hands. During my three months of physical therapy Adam helped me meet all our goals, reassuring me I was making steady progress, even on those "down" days when the knees were hurting more than usual. He was always patient, yet kept me on task throughout my treatment. Overall, I had excellent care and would highly recommend Westside Physical Therapy to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Westside Physical Therapy Team: I have been to three Physical Therapists in Beaverton and Lake Oswego relating to weakness, numbness and tingling associated with Spinal Stenosis that has been progressing since 1998. I have found Westside’s Customer Service, Professionalism and Cleanliness to be outstanding and certainly superior to larger local hospital facilities that tend focus mainly on Occupational Therapy. Additionally, I found the rates at Westside to be quite comparable with other Physical Therapists focusing on Athletic Performance. Westside has a nice combination of both types of therapy which has helped me at work with my posture as well as the weekend when I need to be much more active. I really appreciated the two way communication with Adam and his ability to provide useful feedback about my progress. Adam made sure I understood what I was doing for my back (McKenzie Method) as well as how it was benefiting my movement. In particular, I appreciated Adam’s in depth knowledge of muscular weakness associated with lower back Stenosis stiffness and Anterior Cruciate Ligament repair (ACL). It’s a great feeling to finally know what has been going on with my body and know that I am able to do something about it. You just don’t get that “whole picture approach” from every Physical Therapist you visit! I have not felt this good in years and have definitely benefited from the depth knowledge and professional services of the Westside Team during my twice a week for two months visit. Most of my symptoms have gone away or are greatly reduced and I am now able to snow ski every weekend and race in PACRAT and Masters competitive skiing events. Skiers and Weekend Warrior Types….I would definitely recommend seeing Westside Physical Therapists and Adam Reinecker. Thank you so much for your help! Thank you so much for your help!

Fantastic experience: I was experiencing neck and back pain after a car accident in March that was preventing me from the activities I enjoy doing. After working Adam for a few months I am back at running, basketball, and backpacking. I always felt at Westside they were trying to get me back to myself before the accident and not just "good enough", which I really appreciated. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Appointment availability and scheduling was always a breeze. I highly recommend Westside to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I had a torn labrum and rotator cuff in my shoulder from playing baseball. I had a great experience at Westside Physical Therapy. They did a wonderful job working with my difficult schedule and were very friendly and helpful. My physical therapist was Adam and he was extremely knowledgable. He was able to push me and get me back to 100% faster than I ever imagined. I would recommend Westside Physical therapy to anyone and will definitely go back for all my physical therapy needs.

Fantastic experience: Adam was my physical therapist after I had back surgery. He had an intern, Jocelyn, who worked mostly with me. They were amazing! They answered every question I had and made me feel very comfortable. I'm doing great and pretty much back to my normal life of activity thanks to them. They work with you, not against you. They adjust each session according to your needs, versus some standard or chart. They truly are amazing. I only would note that their receptionist isn't as friendly as the rest of the staff. So when you go in or are on the phone scheduling an appointment, don't judge the place based on her. She seems nice, but a bit moody and judgy. Adam however, is a bundle of sunshine and truly is gifted in helping people come back from surgery.

Fantastic experience: Adam helped me after a car accident in September 2016. It was the first accident I'd been in, and other than being terribly scary, it left me with lots of neck, shoulder, and back pain. I had *just* started getting back into the running shape I hoped to be in when the accident happened (was on my way up to Seattle, in fact, to run my first organized race in a long time), and of course, the accident set me waaaay back. Adam helped me gain back the flexibility and strength in my neck and shoulders I needed to be comfortable and healthy again. I'm still working on getting back to 100%, but if it weren't for Adam, I would have been in much worse shape for a very long time. I've been able to start running again and, though I have a long road ahead to get back to where I was, Adam's help has made my recovery faster, safer, and even more fun than it would have been without him. Also, the whole staff at Westside PT is incredibly friendly and kind. I always loved going there, and it was never a "chore" to go to PT. I always felt great afterwards and was confident that Adam was leading me toward getting back to where I was before the accident happened. I can't recommend Westside PT enough. If and when I ever need PT again in the future, for any reason, I know exactly where I'm going to go.

Positive experience: I went because of limited mobility and pain in my shoulder. I saw a therapist and she was very good. I had 6 appointments and I was feeling much better and just continued doing the exercises on my own. So far, so good. I would recommend them, they have a knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: I chose Westside PT after tearing my Achilles in April, as a fromer Division I Basketball player I was very concerned about the severity of my injury and whether I would be able to get back to my "old form". I worked with Adam throughout my recovery process and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Adam's knowledge and experience with this injury was incredible. He clearly explained to me the timetable for a full recovery and what it would take to get to where I wanted to be. After roughly 8 months I'm very close to full strength and feel comfortable runnning, jumping and cutting. I'm ahead of where I thought I would be at this point and Adam was essential in allowing me to recovery as quickly as possible. He pushed me in my therapy sessions and gave me all the tools to work on my PT at home. My goal was always to get back to playing as quickly as physically possible and Adam allowed me to push myself toward that goal, never holding me back from anything I felt comfotbale trying. I would suggest Westside PT to anyone looking for a friendly and supportive staff! I'll be back for any PT needs in the future.

Positive experience: I've been going to Westside for Therapy after I had surgery to repair my ACL/MCL in my knee. The results have been great. I don't think my legs have ever felt this strong. 7 months in and I'm deadlifting and squatting more than I ever have. Jim's very knowledgeable in what he does and provides good insight and motivation to take charge of my recovery. Much appreciation for they're flexibility in scheduling. I work nights and it could get tricky sometimes. Overall, a good experience and would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: No one celebrates the need to go to physical therapy, but celebrate, I did, once Adam put me back into shape after a fall and separation of my AC joint. He also found what the doctor had missed - a neck injury. Adam was very knowledgeable with what was going on with my body and how to get me quickly on the mend. He was always kind and courteous, as were the rest of the staff. Adam found the best exercises for me to take home and do, he knew when to back off of one form of exercise or to change and try another. He also helped me with the overuse injury to my opposite elbow that began after being in the big robo-sling for a couple of weeks! Appointments were easy to make and their front office was always efficient and very welcoming. My son had also seen Adam after a neck injury due to a car accident. His experience with Westside Physical Therapy was as beneficial as mine. We both would recommend them to anyone we knew in need of a fantastic physical therapist! Adam always made it clear that the bulk of my healing was up to me and my commitment to keeping up with the exercises - which I did - and it paid off with a quicker than expected recovery. Due to his help (and a late ripening crop of grapes) I was able to get back to wine making just in time for the crush! Thank you again, Adam and Westside PT!

Fantastic experience: I went to Westside for Plantar Fasciitis and saw Adam for about 10 visits. I had been dealing Plantar Fasciitis for about a year. Prior to seeing Adam I had two cortisone shots (ouch!), orthotics and a night splint. None of these worked for long period of time until I had physical therapy. It has been about 6 weeks since my last visit and I am back on my feet doing what I love - hiking. I am so happy with my results and cannot say enough positive things about Adam and everyone at Westside.

Fantastic experience: After running for about 15 years, I had my first serious injury in May of this year, tearing some tendons in my foot. I had no idea what to do. My husband had worked with Jim at Westside Physical Therapy a few years back so I decided to go there. I met with Adam Reinecker who quickly put me at ease. Adam and I worked together 2-3 days a week on a treatment plan. I had gone from running about 50 miles a week down to zero very quickly after the injury and had serious doubts that I would run again for a long time. Most of you can probably relate, when you’re injured you feel a little helpless, especially if you are planning to compete in a sport. Adam knows wholeheartedly how to work with patients of varying intensity levels – whether you’re looking to just simply become mobile again, or compete in marathons or go hiking like you once did.After about 1 month of visits with Adam, I was able to run 20-30 miles a week and also do some rigorous hikes with the help of an ankle brace. I don’t think I was really the ideal patient, as I ran a half marathon and climbed some mountains within about two weeks of starting our treatment, slightly re-injuring myself several times as I was pushing to train for a marathon. In spite of this!! - Adam still worked with me on a plan that allowed me to stay active, in a more limited fashion, while the injury healed. I only mention this as it really showed how much Adam could adjust his treatment plans for his patients. He was agile and able to help with challenging situations (ie climbing carefully up Mt. Adams while still injured). After about 45 days, I was up to about 80% pre-injury capacity and at three months, I was totally back to normal and ran my fastest marathon ever. I’m certain if I had been the model patient and not exercised for about a month after the injury, I would have recovered even more quickly. Adam is great guy to work with and the results were pretty amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable about all areas and what causes certain injuries and will laugh at your jokes, even if they aren't funny. I looked forward to our appointments because I knew that they were going to help me to recover in a way that I knew nothing about. I have recommended Adam to a few of my co-workers and would seriously recommend him to any looking to improve their capabilities after any type of injury. You would be doing yourself a great disservice to not go to Westside Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: This is a great pt clinic! I had some inner ear issues causing vertigo and imbalance. I called five other clinics but none of them were able to provide me with the care I needed. I called westside pt and was able to get an appointment within 4 days. At the time, I was in very bad shape. I cdnt drive or even take a walk or go to grocery store. I saw Adam at westside pt and from the first appointment I could tell that he really cared and wanted to help me get better. He showed me some exercises to do home. Everytime I went for a follow up, he would have me do the exercises to judge where I was. If the exercise was too hard he would modify it, if it was too simple he would give me something more challenging. I could see him continously thinking how he could give me exercises that benefited me the most. After about a month of our first meeting, I could go for a 15 min walk. The improvement continued and today I can comfortably drive car, walk and have resumed all normal activities. Thanks to Adam and his team at westside pt.

Fantastic experience: The staff was extremely knowledgeable, very caring, and fun to work with. They are in a location that's easy to get to and have great morning and evening hours. My back is just about back to 100%. Thanks Westside!

Fantastic experience: This place is top notch. Excellent care from a true professional. I can not recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I have used Westside Physical Therapy for an elbow injury, broken ankle, hip replacement and torn bicep tendon. Each and every time I received sessions that were unique to me. I had the best of care and recovered from each one. I highly recommend the professionals at WPT.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Westside Physical Therapy for a variety of injuries over the last several years. Now that I live in Salem, I still opt to drive an hour each way to see Jim. He’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. I can tell he genuinely cares for my outcome and is willing to adjust to best suit my needs. When I found out my work’s insurance may not cover all my sessions, he offered to refer me elsewhere. He’s the only medical professional I’ve truly felt comfortable working with and genuinely invested in by my provider. Whether or not my insurance covers it, I’ll always go out of my way to come here so that I can continue to receive the best care possible. He’s truly the best physical therapist I’ve ever met, and a great human. I highly recommend coming here if you want top quality care that works for you.

Fantastic experience: This place clearly earns 5 stars. This review is mainly to offset Matt Nunya-of-ya-business's 1 star review for being a bit of a sass for parking in the ADA spot right out front of Westside PT and then walking across the parking lot to the coffee shop. There are patients who actually need the spot and don't get to use it. I was once a patient who needed that spot, and I'm happy to say I graduated out of the program. Maybe Nunya-Beezwax should get some Westside PT in his life instead of just parking right in front of it.

Fantastic experience: You can't put into words the kind of relationship and experience I had here but the best way to describe it is you'll get to work with jimothy to not only make you physically stronger but also mentally. This isn't a place that will give up on you he will do anything and everything to make sure you leave when you're ready. I can't thank Jim and Tiffany enough. If it wasn't for them I would be handicapped at 10 pounds for the rest of my life. Now I'm back to lifting and living with a regular life again. Quit looking for other therapists and run to Jim.

Fantastic experience: Jim Cenova is a god tier physical therapist. I’ve worked with him for several different injuries, each being fully addressed. During each visit, he listens well and will often diagram what is occurring in the body that is creating the pain. I leave his office feeling informed, empowered, and assured that there is a clear plan in place to tackle the problem. Not only is Jim a great PT, but Tiffany is also wonderful and thoughtful. She’s worked with me on complicated billing matters when my insurance has messed things up. Tiffany makes it easy to be a patient here. I’ve seen multiple physical therapists in the Portland and Beaverton area, and Jim is hands-down the best. I recommend him to all my friends in need of PT.

Fantastic experience: Clean and very professional. Positive energy from the owner Jim and I assume the receptionist Tiffany. I was able to bring my 2 year old while doing my physical therapy as well!

Fantastic experience: Jim and team are fantastic! Super friendly and knowledgeable! I leave feeling confident that I made the correct choice choosing this clinic and that I am being set up for success when learning how to properly care for my injury.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have both been patients of Westside for various issues during the past 5 years. The issues included back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and therapy both before and after knee replacement. We prefer Westside, even though they are outside of our insurance network of providers.

Fantastic experience: Jim has been extremely helpful throughout my various injuries over the last few years. Whether it is my back, arm, or knee, he has been able to quickly diagnose my injuries and create a plan to ensure I'm back on my feet as soon as possible. I was referred here after getting in a car accident and struggling to understand the true impact it would have. Jim was able to get me fully mobile and without pain much quicker than I originally anticipated. I've been coming back for the past couple of years for my various injuries with the same level of success. Aside from excellent knowledge and exercises to assist me in my mobility, Jim is extremely friendly and fun to work with. He's likely the only person who would be able to make a physical therapy appointment enjoyable. If I ever injure myself again (which I likely will), there's no question that I will return to Westside Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Jim is terrific. Went in with nagging knee pain. After 10 pt sessions: no pain. Added bonus, Jim is a super knowledgeable and nice person.

Fantastic experience: Jim is the best! If you need physical therapy, I strongly suggest you go to Westside Physical Therapy. My knee replacement was not easy, but Jim helped me through the entire process. Previously, I had foot surgery, and he helped with that as well. I can't say enough good things about WPT!!!

Fantastic experience: Adam and Kayla were very knowledgeable and helpful through my recovery from a trimalleloar fracture with a dislocation on my left ankle. I had gone through an ORIF(open reduction internal fixation) surgery which included hardware that left me non weight bearing for 5 months. They were very supportive and experienced.They were more than a physical therapist. They also helped me through my PTSD and mental health. I feel I have regained most of my mobility from such an intense injury.

Fantastic experience: Well, I'll join the chorus in praising Adam and Westside Physical Therapy. My Ortho doctor told me they were really good, and since they were across from my favorite lunch spot, I gave them a try. I've had 6 arthritis surgeries and as many pt experiences. Westside is among the best I've had. The entire staff is friendly and personable. Adam is very knowledgeable and had me fixed up in a few weeks, including other body parts that I wasn't even focused upon. Great sense of humor, pays careful attention and listens well.

Fantastic experience: I had worked with Adam Reinecker a couple years back. I had severe nerve impingement that made it nearly impossible for me to walk let alone run. After 6 months of intense work and care, Adam was able to get me back to my everyday life and walking again. I can't thank Adam and the staff enough for everything they did for me and my family during this difficult time. If you're in the area and considering Physical Therapy, check these guys out!
