Testimonials

I first met Bryce when he started treating me for a broken leg. Then, two months later, he was also treating me for a broken left wrist. He is very professional and really took the time to explain things to me, in a way that I could easily understand. I have learned about bones, muscles, and tendons and the reasons why physical therapy helps parts of the body work and respond to certain exercises. He was also very good at raising my spirits when I could not see much progress in my hand but, with his help, my hand is almost back to normal. I feel very lucky to have worked with Bryce, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be successful in their treatment. Bryce is a great asset to Darby Physical Therapy.

I went to Corvallis Physical Therapy after my back surgery in 2008 and worked with Doug. I had a total knee replacement in 2010 and Tara was my main therapist and I had Chris a couple of times. They are great people to work with and I am so pleased with the results from the programs they gave me to do. I feel that they are some of the best in their field. They not only meet your physical needs but care for you as a person. Their receptionists are very personable as well. If I need PT in the future this is where I will go.

I originally chose HPT for the convenient Corvallis location. After back surgery, my thought was that the closer to home, since I reside in Corvallis, the better. However, the professional treatment and personal attention to my rehabilitation program became readily apparent. Chris Andersen has the patient’s best interests in mind from the initial visit throughout the treatment and doesn’t hesitate to advance or modify your program as he evaluates your progress. More importantly, Chris shares a personal side that promotes a positive and pleasant experience to your rehabilitation program. As a patient you will come to find that you have encountered a professional who not only enjoys restoring the quality of your physical well-being, but truly enjoys the aspects of life that make you and I members of the Bitterroot community. Best of luck to Chris and his staff-my sincere thanks for my excellent treatment by all.

I have had back pain for two years now. The first year I went to Hamilton Physical Therapy (this was before my back surgery.) All the people at Hamilton Physical Therapy are great! To these people you are not just a payday; they really care about you and getting you better, and getting back to normal. Then I had a fusion on L5 S1 in my lower back and have been going to Corvallis Sports Rehab, which is owned by Hamilton Physical Therapy. The super great service starts as soon as you walk in the door with Linda the receptionist. My therapist is Chris Andersen and Tara Mahoney has also worked with me. I can’t say enough great things about all of these people, they really care!! Chris is tough, but he will get you in the best shape and as close too normal as is possible. Chris is the Back Guru of the Bitterroot Valley!! 5 out of 5 stars for both Hamilton Physical Therapy and Corvallis Sports Rehab!!!

"Chris Andersen is both personable and professional, as was everyone associated with Hamilton (Corvallis) Physical Therapy. Having been through more physical therapy than I want to think about, I can enthusiastically state that this is a first class operation."

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for Corvallis Physical Therapy and Tara Mahoney my therapist. I was always treated with concern and respect by all staff members and staff bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule and specific needs.

The Corvallis Physical Therapy facility is equipped with all the best and newest therapy equipment including an exercise pool, weights and machines that help you to meet your goals. My therapist, Tara Mahoney, was very knowledgeable and set up a program to meet my needs and concerns. I have made tremendous progress, met my goals and generally feel very healthy again and feel I owe it to Tara and her expertise, her dedication, her concern for my well being and for her support.

"I would not hesitate to recommend Corvallis Physical Therapy to anyone who has been injured, who needs to build up their strength after illness as they have helped me tremendously regain my mobility and strength."

"Tara first saw me for a problem with my left hip and trouble with walking. She did a great job on the hip and had me walking without pain. Then I did a stupid thing and fell off my roof and fractured my pelvis, tore up my rotator cuff, and a few other things and once again, Tara rode to the rescue and got my pelvis and right hip working. Now she is working on the rotator cuff and with her coaching, is getting that working and developing motion in the shoulder so I can pursue my passion of fly fishing. Thanks Tara and the rest of Corvallis Sports Rehab."

"I have been a patient at Hamilton Physical Therapy since early 2000 for everything from shoulder, elbow, to knee problems.

When I walk through the door for an appointment, it's like coming home to a loving family. The staff cares and that genuine concern for the patient creates an energy I can feel. I feed off that energy as I go through physical therapy exercises. Especially at the beginning when you are hurting and the going is tough. They never ask you to do anything that will not help you recover. They always strive to give you the best they have. They work as a team creating a synergy that assures the patient gets the best care possible. They are always learning from the patient and each other. They take the time to explain and monitor your exercises. They make sure you maintain the right exercise form, so your recovery is quicker. In the end it's up to you. If you do the work, you get back to a better life. In my case hiking is my passion and because of good doctors and the therapy I have received from Hamilton Physical Therapy, I am back in the mountains again. Thank you all."

It was one year ago during my 12 week post thumb surgery exam that my hand surgeon, Dr. Charles Sullivan looked across his desk and said: “FIRE your physical therapist”. His remark came as a surprise to me even though I was still in acute pain with very limited thumb strength and dexterity. Mentally, I was discouraged and not looking forward to the prospect of having the same surgery, but on my other hand as the current surgical outcome was in doubt. As a patient, I felt anxiety and a real concern for the future quality of my life. It was under this difficult circumstance that I met Sheri Stroppel who happened to be doing a field visit with Dr. Sullivan and graciously agreed to accept me as a client.

Sheri worked hard with me to make a poor post-surgical prognosis a surgical success story! Sheri’s “hands on” technique to apply specialized hand training in a customized manner in my difficult case speaks volumes to her professional knowledge, work ethic and patient commitment. I went on last fall to have successful surgery on my other thumb because “Sheri had my back”.

For over 2 years I had been experiencing terrible back pain, I was only able to sleep 5 or 6 hours before I was awakened with pain. I am 56 years old and was just going down hill thinking this what the rest of my life would be like. My doctor suggested PT. Not having much hope that it would help, I waited 2 weeks before giving it a try. Then I was introduced to my physical therapist Sheri Stroppel and she began to work her magic on me. Within 2 months I was nearly pain free and sleeping through the nights. Sheri is very knowledgeable in her field; she is a good listener and a great problem solver. It has been nearly 4 months now and I have followed all her advice for the last 2 months on my own. She is my angel she gave me my life back. I highly recommend her and the staff at Hamilton Physical Therapy.
