A Message To Our Patients
Recognized Leaders in Physical Rehabilitation Both Locally and Nationally
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, Nordstrom & Costco. Net Promoter Score ranges from -100 to 100. Currently, we average an 86.0 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.

Q&A with Amanda: What’s the most inspiring part of your job? My favorite thing about my job is helping people, both patients and employees. I enjoy seeing patients get physically stronger while watching our employees grow in their knowledge and passion. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? Serve people, not the other way around. What are some causes you care about? Volunteering in any capacity whether it be helping a friend or volunteering within a structured organization. Long-term goal is to be part of Marion County Search & Rescue (going to finish my MBA first). If you could posses one super-human power, what would it be and why? Invisibility…playing pranks of people would be awesome!
