Back in Action Physical Therapy in Portland Oregon is a professional corporation owned and operated by Ted Ellquist, PT. The mission I have for Back in Action is to offer quality physical therapy services while maintaining ethical standards. My vision includes providing individualized one to one treatment time while educating clients for self empowerment.
For each client coming to Back in Action Physical Therapy, we will provide a full hour specialized assessment using the McKenzie Method in our spacious, comfortable office. Based on this evaluation, we will discuss the findings and recommendations for further treatment with the client.
We understand that not everyone needing care has adequate health insurance here in Portland, Oregon. Back in Action Physical Therapy provides a generous 30% discount to private pay clients and will charge you only your in-network co-pay or deductible even if your insurance does not carry us as an in-network provider.
The Mckenzie Method
Also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, the McKenzie Method is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education that is trusted and used by practitioners and patients all over the world for back, neck, and extremity problems. The approach continues to be the most researched physical therapy-based method available. The key distinction is its initial assessment component, a safe and reliable means to accurately reach a diagnosis and only then make the appropriate treatment plan.
