Good Health Physical Therapy & Wellness

Fantastic experience: Kind staff and very knowledgeable!!

Fantastic experience: As an aid and observer at this clinic, I can attest that the therapists giving treatment here do amazing work, and truly care for their patients. Their specific knowledge on many disorders is crucial, as at many other institutions these conditions would go untreated, or be incorrectly treated.

Fantastic experience: The staff here was so friendly and they answered my many questions. Very professional atmosphere, I had a great experience and I will definitely be reccomending them to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and empathic staff. I will never go anywhere else!

Negative experience: If you have any kind of memory disorder, I would refrain from this clinic. They are not even going to discuss things with you, even though you have a disability that interferes with your day to day. No warnings, no nothing. I wish we could have had an actual discussion, but apparently thats not their business model. Save your emotional energy and find somewhere else!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Liz after a radical breast reduction that somehow ended with me being in MORE pain than before the operation and she was magical! Within two appointments my pain levels were way down. Furthermore, she coached me on many things that have improved my life tremendously, like how to activate my parasympathetic nervous system and who to see about my ligament laxity. One day I told her about my eyes bothering me and she did a quick exam and said I had convergence issues. I'd never heard of such a thing, I thought I was just "not super great at seeing." Now I'm getting prism lenses and my life will be soo much better! I did not have any idea that a physical therapist was going to change my life so dramatically! I still occasionally see her if things come up, like right now I'm having some foot trouble, but for the most part Liz is the type of provider you see a few times and the issue is SOLVED and you don't have to keep coming back. Which is amazing, because I just want to live my life without being at appointments all the time!!!!

Negative experience: My cardiologist sent them a referral recently and I spoke with Robin & Jordan who told they would call me back. I never heard from them and I told my cardiologist I would rather go somewhere else. Not sure if they have staff shortages but they should followup when they said they would. Very unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: So helpful, Heather is the only PT who can put me back together again.

Fantastic experience: Awesome group of Physical Therapists with wide variety of expertise, They keep the whole person in mind. My doctor recommended clinic after requiring Physical Therapy herself.

Fantastic experience: I just want to say a big thank you to Brian Kitzerow at Good Health. I was having hip pain when I would run. I love running and was upset that I might have to give it up. Brian helped to reduce the pain and give me strategies for running without pain. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I was referred here by my Osteopath about 3 years ago and have been going on and off for a chronic condition since that time. Brian Kitzerow is a brilliant Physical Therapist who is dedicated to seeing his patients get better. What amazes me is the time each practitioner spends with their patients, much more 1-on-1 than any other place I've been. Once, I woke up with a horrible headache, and he was able to squeeze me in and treat the pain, giving me exercises to reduce the occurrence of my headaches in the future. Even when I'm lazy and don't always follow up on my exercises, he doesn't shame me, just provides patient nudging. After years of seeing chiropractors, other PTs, acupuncturists, massage therapists (still get massage regularly!), I've finally found a place that understands my condition and how to help. I'm a devotee!

Fantastic experience: Love them.....period... They know their stuff!

Fantastic experience: Best physical and occupational therapy I’ve ever had! They’ve been so great at meeting me where I’m at as well as tailoring a plan of attack specific to my individual needs and limitations. I’ve only been to the main clinic on SW Scholls Ferry Rd but everyone I’ve encountered here has been super friendly, kind, and patient. Definitely highly recommend them!!

Negative experience: I was going to just let this go until I was reminded of my experience by getting an unexpected bill 5 months after I ceased therapy. My doc referred me to Good Health Physical Therapy after I was diagnosed with EDS last May. After 6 months on a wait list, I was finally able to schedule an appointment. First impressions: the Raleigh Hills office is insultingly inaccessible. Nearly impossible to get there via public transit. They are on the second story; I was unable to locate an elevator, the parking lot and wheelchair ramps are poorly maintained and dangerous. The waiting area is cramped and challenging to maneuver in, with uncomfortable furniture. My assigned PT didn't improve my experience. Despite giving a detailed medical history, he repeatedly forgot or questioned diagnosis and ignored me when I told him what hadn't worked for me in the past. He repeatedly made anti-fat jokes (I am not overweight). He forgot my partner's name, who was attending with me because I was unable to get to the office myself. As a visibly and openly queer person, his frequent references to his church and faith made me worried and uncomfortable. Every session increased my pain and caused injuries. My final straw was my PT spraining my thumb in our session, and then stating he didn't know that joint was that unstable. I am still attempting to recover from this injury 5 months later.

Negative experience: they teach inaccurate, dangerous methods. i was told to keep my core engaged 24/7, now i have constant searing pain in my back and recently learned about stomach gripping. apparently engaging your core all the time can even weaken your pelvic floor muscles. like every other medical industry clinic, they find a way to blame the patient, cause worse issues and then charge to fix the issue they created. if i wanted an audience while i stretch id start an onlyfans, not pay some wannabe doctor to watch. ableist as well constantly saying the owned is disabled and can do something so i should be able to/can one day too. pipe dream editing to add that after getting a copy of my medical records, they never documented my car accident! now i have zero record of it happening, and it appears no exam was done to see if I was injured. this place is extremely unprofessional

Fantastic experience: I called to gather some information and Kristen spent so much time giving me information and educating me. It was the first time that someone had really taken the time to find resources for me and walk me through the process. She not only got me on a waiting list but she also took the extra time to give me extra resources on places to gather information before my visit. She no doubt went above and beyond. I have never received such incredible care from an admin and I truly appreciated all of her time and effort. Thank you!!

Negative experience: I specifically sought out Liz Finley, because it says in her staff profile that she does Dynamic Manual Interface (DMI) treatments. I had great results with this type of technique in the past. On my first appointment, I was very clear that I wanted DMI work. She did do this type of work for part of my first appointment. After that, she mostly switched to things like squats, heel raises, picking up marbles with my toes, and back bends to "squeeze the inflammation out of my lower back". At the beginning of my fifth appointment, I again told her I wanted DMI treatments. This is when she told me she would not be doing much of that. It would have been honest and less manipulative if she told me this on my first appointment. On my fifth appointment, she measured my neck flexibility and said it was worse that day than when I first came to her 12 weeks earlier. I told her that was because I was receiving DMI before I came to her. So I got worse under her care. Add to this, that I found her to be rude, judgmental, and dismissive of my opinions, feelings, and concerns.

Fantastic experience: I loved my experience at Good Health! I had the pleasure of working with Chie, and she was so delightful! I've learned so much and feel so much better in my body after just a few months. I feel more aligned and stronger than I ever have and so am grateful for my experience here. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I just finished six months of PT with Chie, and it’s made a night and day difference to my quality of life! The pain and symptoms from my HSD and POTS have greatly diminished and continue to improve. Although it seemed daunting at first, Chie taught me how to use exercise as a tool to manage my conditions. She is a great listener and made sure to thoroughly answer all of my questions. She is an excellent practitioner, and I can’t recommend her enough! The office staff is fantastic too! Every interaction I had with them in person and over the phone was friendly and efficient. These folks really know their stuff! Thank you, Good Health Physical Therapy, for helping me be a success story!

Fantastic experience: Having just completed 5 months of therapy I would like to commend the care given me by Michael Maher. Am sure working with a cranky 84 year old is a challenge but he was totally up to it. Although empathetic, he was still persistent and insisted on my working just a little bit harder. When certain techniques were ineffective he was able to modify to accommodate my deficiencies. Michael was able to provide me with suggestion for home work outs to maintain my current level of proficiency. As a result I feel safe and secure in my daily activities. Kudos for Michael.

Fantastic experience: The staff if FANTASTIC! They care about your well being! They are dedicated to your care! Becky, the office manager, is very patient and sweet when asking any and all questions! I would highly recommend going to see the therapists at Good Health. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place to feel better! The staff is great, they meet you with a smile and they made me feel so much better. Joy is such a joy! She is funny, makes me smile, when I don't feel like smiling.

Fantastic experience: This place has helped me more than any doctor I’ve ever seen.

Fantastic experience: The clinic is well run and has a great front office staff, who are friendly and knowledgable. The therapists are very dedicated and compassionate to their patients. I just cant say enough good things Good Health Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about this place and especially the two PT’s I work with specifically, Chie Tadaki & Emily DeCarlo. The clinic is well run with a friendly staff and the therapists are so dedicated to their work (which is further evidenced by their commitment to professional development and education). Good Health is on the vanguard of some of the most difficult to treat health conditions like EDS, mast cell activation and fibromyalgia. I’m so grateful to be able to get treatment here.

Fantastic experience: Incredible group of PTs with a great range of experience including pelvic floor and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/connective tissue disorders. And they take OHP

Positive experience: I have worked with Chie so far for upper back and neck pain pain related to hypermobile joints. I have been to many PT's (6+) and have never improved or had someone pay so much attention to the details of my pain.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place. heather is great.

Fantastic experience: My daughter's love going to PT either Chie Tadaki at Good Health. They finally feel understood and are getting real relief!

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for over a year and it's amazing! I have lot of medical conditions including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and they have been amazing! I've seen four different therapists there and all of them have unique knowledge and experience. I really feel like I'm getting a full range of treatments here. I still need a lot of work, and there's nowhere else I'd rather go.

Fantastic experience: My doctor recommended this place and it's specializes in the chronic pain I have! It's Great!

Fantastic experience: good health physical therapy -- i used the sw scholls ferry location -- and my physical therapist liz finley -- were fabulous in addressing the upper back and neck pain i came to them with ! liz explained everything very well , and i didnt leave her office until she made me a written record of the cool exercises she prescribed for me . liz has a very strong and intuitive method including being an excellent listener , and a wonderful way of therapeutic touch in assessing and teaching the treatment exercises . i would strongly refer any friends needing PT to consider using liz finley and good health physical therapy . 5 out of 5 stars ! -- matt bonazzola , sw pdx

Fantastic experience: SARA did one maneuver on my rib cage that freed up my breathing after years of distress. Other areas she always know what to do. LIZ provided some flexibility in my ankles which helped me feel grounded and gave me stability. Her expertise about the nature of balance and movement helped me tremendously. CELESTE uses her device to relieve pain, and it really works. She is delightful, and I enjoyed receiving healing energies from her. HEATHER identified my congenital connective tissue disorder, and trained her staff to work my challenges. Her work is so profound, so that is why I caller her my “isometric groomer.” PTs ROCK!!

Fantastic experience: My sister and I have been coming here to treat our EDS and have seen amazing improvements!! Everyone is friendly, and I highly recommend Chie Tadaki, who is fantastic!!! She is sweet, funny, and very good at what she does!

Fantastic experience: My wife has been coming here for over a year. Ow and everyone is friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone in need of physical therapy

Fantastic experience: I took my 10 year old daughter here after she broke her leg. We were assigned to Chie, she was fantastic and took answer all my questions. This therapist has a fantastic way with both children and parents. The staff is both friendly and business like. The went to great lengths to make sure I understood potential costs. I would highly recommend these folks for younger patients

Fantastic experience: I don't really want to review them because the whole team is so amazing that if I tell everyone there won't be any appointments available! I had been told I needed a knee replacement and after working with them for about a year I was told by my orthopedist that I no longer need it! I can't tell you how much I LOVE these guys (they are also all super friendly and easy to talk to). One day I came in when I "threw my back out" and could barely walk...I literally walked out of the appointment the same day almost pain free after an hour of treatment. This is not ordinary physical therapy where they give you ice and an exercise and let you go in 15 minutes. They do manual therapy and spend at least an hour per appointment working on your body. I would feel like an old lady without these guys. I love, love, love them!

Fantastic experience: Amazing physical therapy staff!! Thanks for your care!

Fantastic experience: Had total hip replacement less than 3 weeks. Physical therapist is great and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Emily Decarlo, PT is great!

Fantastic experience: They helped me so much with my back pain... And they educated me along the way!

Fantastic experience: INSIGHTFUL CREATIVE EXPERIENCED I am very impressed with this company and these physical therapists. Heather Purdue and Sara Avni were my physical therapists. Sara Avni works in both SW Portland and at their location on NE Alberta which was handy for me. I have a very tricky hip situation. They listen (yeah everyone says that!) THEY REALLY LISTEN!! The other physical therapists I have worked with in the past work had me do exercises that caused even more pain, hurt me and made my condition worse. At Good Health Physical Therapy I have actually improved in spite of other health problems that cause high inflammation and are working against me. They have a lot of experience with different chronic health problems that contribute to physical debilitation. Because of their insights I was diagnosed with an illness that undetected and untreated would have kept me from making any progress at all.My MD, chiropractor, and ND all missed the signs of this illness. INSIGHTFUL CREATIVE EXPERIENCED Thanks Heather and Sara.
