What We Treat
Sound familiar?
Point to where it hurts. We’ll show you how we fix it.
1
Headaches
That knot between your shoulder blades by 3pm: tension headaches, migraines, neck strain that never fully lets go.
Learn More2
Shoulder Pain
Reaching for the top shelf and stopping halfway: rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulder, that catch every time you lift overhead.
Learn More3
Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain
Your grip gives out opening a jar: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, desk strain that flares by Wednesday.
Learn More4
Back Pain & Sciatica
Standing up off the couch like you’re eighty: sciatica, herniated discs, mornings that take ten minutes to loosen up.
Learn More5
Hip Pain
That pinch when you cross your legs to tie your shoes: hip bursitis, labral tears, flexors too tight to trust.
Learn More6
Knee Pain
Stairs make you think twice: runner’s knee, ACL/MCL recovery, that ache on every squat.
Learn More7
Foot & Ankle Pain
First steps out of bed feel like walking on glass: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, a sprain that never fully healed.

Why Staszak Physical Therapy
You’ve maybe done PT before. Not like this.
A lot of people land here after somewhere handed them a printout and a heat pack. Here’s what’s different when your physical therapist owns your whole visit.
One-on-one
Every visit
One-on-one, every visit
You’ll never be handed off to a tech or share your therapist with three other patients.
One-on-one, every time
Every session is one-on-one with a licensed clinician, not an aide.
No referral needed
In OR, you can start PT without seeing your physician first. We handle the paperwork if your insurance needs it.
We handle the insurance maze
We verify your benefits before your first visit, so there are no surprise bills.

All the physical therapists that I worked with were extremely professional and kind. They helped me feel better within weeks with simple stretches and exercises. The masseuse I worked with was extremely skilled too. I always left feeling relaxed and confident my physical therapists and masseuse were helping me feel better.

I was contacted shortly after my doctors referral. Staszak Physical Therapy scheduled my appointment quickly. I saw my physical therapist, she did her assessment, explained her results, designed a home plan, and had me scheduled for future appointments before I left. I felt heard.

I would like to express a big THANK YOU to Staszak Physical Therapy. I’ve been seen by Tessa for Tailbone pain I’ve battled for over a year. Not only is she kind, professional, down to earth, and empathetic towards her patients, he treatment is effective. My condition is complicated but the treatment that she provides to me is very helpful and I always leave Staszak feeling relief from the pain I’m challenges with. Each treatment may differ depending on how you present. The front office staff is friendly and kind as well as quick to address any concerns that I have such as with payment, insurance, or scheduling needs. Thank you all!

The team at Staszak are absolutely wonderful! I’ve worked with almost all of them and each physical therapist and trainer is extremely professional and kind. I also love that Staszak bills both services together under your insurance. It definitely makes them one of the best deals in town! Oh yeah, my shoulder is doing a ton better too!

The Honest Truth
Pain rarely waits with you.
Here’s what actually happens in the next 90 days, on both paths.
If you keep waiting
- Your body compensates: other joints quietly pick up the slack
- Simple problems layer into complicated ones
- The workouts, walks, and weekends keep shrinking
- Painkillers manage the noise, not the cause
If you start this week
- Your physical therapist finds the actual cause: visit one
- Hands-on treatment can start at your first visit
- A phase-by-phase plan with an endpoint, not endless visits
- One-on-one care from a licensed physical therapist
Nobody regrets starting too early.

Questions, Answered
Everything you’re wondering before you book.
Straight answers: no medical jargon, no runaround.
No. Oregon allows complete, unrestricted direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can see a licensed physical therapist for an evaluation and treatment without a doctor’s referral. Some insurance plans have their own rules, so give us a call if you’re not sure about yours.
It depends on your insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the cost of physical therapy, but check with your provider to confirm your coverage and any fees. We’re in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, PacificSource, Providence, MODA, and Medicare, and we offer self-pay registration if you’d rather not use insurance.
Wear something comfortable you can actually move in. Shorts are best if we’re treating a knee or hip, and a tank top or loose tee helps if we’re working on a shoulder or neck.
Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your condition and the techniques used. Most patients come in 1–2 times per week for at least 4–6 weeks, and your physical therapist will give you a plan with an endpoint at your first visit, so you always know what’s left.
It’s brief and localized: most people feel a quick twitch, then a wave of relief in that muscle. And it’s always optional; we’ll never spring it on you without explaining it first.
No. Every visit is one-on-one, hands-on care from a licensed clinician, never a tech handing you a printout. Your exercises are dosed specifically for you and progressed live as you improve.
That’s a fair question, and it’s usually the model, not you. A lot of clinics rotate you through techs and hand you generic sheets. Here, you get one-on-one time with a licensed clinician every visit, a cause-first evaluation instead of a cookie-cutter protocol, and a phase-based plan with clear graduation criteria, so you always know why you’re doing what you’re doing, and when you’re done.
