Welcome to PT Northwest

Providing Physical Therapy,  Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy throughout Salem and Surrounding Areas.

Founded in 1977, PT Northwest is a locally owned, nationally recognized leader in physical rehabilitation. Our team of physical, occupational and speech therapists and athletic trainers are passionate about helping you RESTORE YOUR ACTIVE LIFESTYLE. We often hear from our patients, “you transformed my life!”

PT Northwest was the first group chosen nationally to utilize Intermountain Healthcare’s Rehabilitation Outcomes Management System to collect, analyze, and report on patient clinical data, in order to improve care and lower costs. Intermountain Healthcare is consistently rated as one of the top four health care organizations in America. What does this mean for our patients? It means our patients on average will get better faster, with less out of pocket cost over the course of treatment compared to other physical rehabilitation groups.

Our patients have enthusiastically responded to our passion for physical rehabilitation. PT Northwest uses the Net Promoter Score (NPS) to measure patient satisfaction. The NPS is widely used by companies such as Amazon, Apple, Nordstrum & Costco. Net Promoter Score ranges from -100 to 100. Currently we average between 75-79 rating by our patients. Per NPS scoring break down, that is a world class ranking.

As a progressive Medicare Certified Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility, our group is held to a higher standard of rehabilitative care when compared to regular physical or occupational therapists in independent practice. Our physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are offered through our clinics located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, in addition to the area hospitals that we serve.

PT Northwest is proud to be the Official Sports Therapy & Rehab Provider of the San Francisco Giant’s Affiliate the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, the Corvallis Knights of the West Coast College Baseball League, the Portland Timbers U23 team and Willamette University.

Alan Noble, DPT (ASTYM)
Clinic Director, Physical Therapist, NE Salem Clinic
Education University of St. Augustine, Doctorate of Physical Therapy Western Oregon University, Bachelors of Science About Alan Alan grew up in the small town of Eagle Creek, Oregon where my family moved from southern California when I was 2 years old. While growing up, I was constantly active in many different sports to fill most of my free time. Fortunately, after high school I was able to continue my sports career by playing football at Western Oregon University where I eventually worked my way to a starting position on the offensive line. When deciding what to focus on in undergraduate school I knew it would involve my interest in natural science, specifically human biology, which was influenced by my extensive athletic background. I was drawn to physical therapy because I could continue to learn about human biology while also applying that knowledge to improve the lives of those in the community that I am working in. Before beginning my physical therapy program I had an opportunity to work for a non-profit organization that provided work experience for individuals with mental disabilities. Then, in my physical therapy studies I learned an eclectic approach utilizing manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercise to facilitate independent maintenance for patients with orthopedic injuries. Those combined experiences are why I chose to practice within the general patient population and help a wider range of individuals. Recreationally, I enjoy staying active through running, hiking, or fishing and hunting when time allows. My wife and I enjoy cooking together, traveling, and searching for the best local coffee shops.
