Rehabilitation Center in Corvallis, OR for Pre- and Post-Surgery Rehab

Hip and knee rehab covers joint replacement recovery, knee pain and instability, patellofemoral problems (pain around the kneecap), and hip pain and stiffness that limits walking, stairs and getting up from a chair. Post-op work moves through motion first, then strength, then the loading and balance demands of real life.

Hikers and trail walkers dealing with downhill knee pain can read more on our hiking and backpacking page.

Shoulder rehab includes rotator cuff tears, general shoulder pain, and recovery after shoulder surgery, where regaining motion on schedule matters and pushing too early does not help. Treatment blends manual therapy at the joint and surrounding soft tissue with a graded strengthening progression for the cuff and scapular muscles.

Swimmers working through overhead shoulder trouble can also see our swimming and triathlon page.

Back and neck cases make up a large share of what a rehabilitation center sees, including low back pain, neck pain, sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and post-surgical spine care. Treatment usually combines hands-on manual therapy with a specific exercise progression you'll also do at home.

Our therapists draw on established manual therapy systems including McKenzie, Maitland, Kaltenborn, Mulligan, Strain Counterstrain, Muscle Energy and techniques from the North American Institute of Manual Therapy. Which ones we use depends on what your exam shows. If lifting is part of your life or your job, our strength training and CrossFit rehab page covers loading back up safely.

Foot and ankle dysfunction shows up as pain with the first steps of the morning, an ankle that keeps rolling, or a slow return after a fracture or foot surgery. We treat sprains, strains, fractures and post-surgical foot and ankle cases, and we look at how you're walking, because a limp you've carried for six weeks tends to create a second problem up the chain.

Arthritis, degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease and osteoporosis are long-term conditions, and rehab for them is about keeping joints moving, keeping muscle on your frame, and keeping you doing the things you'd rather not give up. We also see patients with fibromyalgia.

If joint replacement is on the horizon, this is also where pre-surgical preparation starts. Ask us about it when you get in touch.

Balance disorders, gait related problems and general loss of strength are treated here, and they matter most for patients who have had a fall or who are worried about one. Work typically includes standing and walking balance training, lower body strengthening, and practical strategies for stairs, curbs and uneven ground.

Medicare is accepted, and you do not need a referral to start. Call (541) 758-2235 and we'll check your plan.

We treat neurological illness and injury, including the loss of strength, coordination, balance and walking ability that often comes with it. Chris Guempel, PT, MPT has treated a broad spectrum of diagnoses across his career, including postoperative, orthopedic, neurological and work-related cases.

Not sure whether we're the right fit for your diagnosis? Call (541) 758-2235 and ask. We'd rather tell you honestly on the phone than have you drive over for nothing.

Motor vehicle accident injuries, on-the-job injuries and repetitive strain follow their own path, both clinically and administratively. Clinically, the work is the same careful process: find the source of the symptoms, treat it hands-on, and rebuild the strength and tolerance the injury took away.

If your care is going through an auto claim or a workers' compensation claim, call (541) 758-2235 with your claim information before your first visit and our front desk will tell you exactly what we need to get billing set up correctly.
