A few Testimonials:
“I’ve suffered lower back pain for almost thirty years. Physical Therapy with Kevin has been, without a doubt, the most effective recovery and preventative treatment I have ever received.”– Gregg H, Portland, OR
“I came in 6 weeks ago feeling very frustrated with my broken clavicle. Today I feel like a new man. Very thoughtful and awesome service. All-around a great team and office!” -Tony W, Portland, OR
“I have been to dozens of PT’s over a lifetime of competitive sports. I can honestly say that Kevin Schmidt is the best practitioner I have seen. . . I have now been to see him for three separate injuries (neck, hip and knee) that doctors had difficulty diagnosing and/or treating. Kevin was able to quickly narrow in on the issue, and have me ‘ship-shape’ in a matter of weeks. His staff is very helpful and friendly. . . Can’t recommend highly enough.” –Robin M, Portland, OR
“I am SO glad I found Pedal PT! I had been struggling with the limiting after-effects of an ankle sprain for 7 months, and wondering if my range-of-motion would ever be normal again. I had a podiatrist tell me I might need surgery for a minor chip of my Talus, but otherwise he offered no advice. After only a few treatments with Kevin, not only do I have my range-of-motion back, but I’ve been running and hiking with confidence. It was so nice to go to someone who knows a ton about the foot and ankle . . . and knew simple moves to correct it. Additionally, the staff is super helpful and friendly. There is even free bike parking inside. Couldn’t recommend this place more. — Emily G. Portland, OR
“I couldn’t walk for a while because of knee pain, and I went to another PT place and they couldn’t fix me. . . I seriously could not walk for a while…. and he got me over that. God, that was a relief!” –Joe M, Beaverton, OR
“Out at Shorties today surfing again thanks to Kevin’s fine work.” –Todd C. Portland, OR
“I wrecked a knee on a backpacking trip in June and it was getting worse and worse. Finally decided to do something about it and tried Pedal PT. Kevin checked me out, gave me a few easy exercises to do, and pointed out some other things I could do to take care of my knees. . . . The result? I’m back to almost 100% after just a couple of weeks. It’s a fun office, and Kevin is enthusiastic about his work and obviously knowledgeable. I highly recommend Pedal PT!” –Don R Portland, OR
Physical Therapy FAQ:In Oregon, anyone can receive evaluation and treatment from a Licensed Physical Therapist without a written referral. This is called Direct Access, or ‘Self Referral’. The insurance companies also do not require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement in Oregon.

The therapist will discuss the following:
Palpation – Touching around the area of the pain/problem. This is done to check for the presence of tenderness, swelling, soft tissue integrity, tissue temperature, inflammation, etc.
Range of Motion (ROM) – The therapist will move the joint(s) to check for the quality of movement and any restrictions.
Muscle Testing – The therapist may check for strength and the quality of the muscle contraction. Pain and weakness may be noted. Often the muscle strength is graded. This is also part of a neurological screening.
Neurological Screening – The therapist may check to see how the nerves are communicating with the muscles, sensing touch, pain, vibration, or temperature. Reflexes may be assessed as well.
Special Tests – The therapist may perform special tests to confirm/rule out the presence of additional problems.
Posture Assessment – The positions of joints relative to each other may be assessed.
