About Josh:

Josh has been a part of the PT Northwest family since 2007. He specializes in orthopedics, including back and neck pain with and without radiculopathies, headaches; post-operative shoulder, knee, and hip rehabilitation; acute and chronic overuse/repetitive strain injuries such as achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, patellofemoral pain, and rotator cuff tendinitis; as well as generalized weakness, deconditioning, and falls prevention.

Outside of his professional role, Josh enjoys camping and traveling with his family, cheering on his kids in sports, date nights with his wife, an occasional game of golf, stand-up paddleboarding, river floats, elk hunting, and ongoing household projects. One of Josh’s favorite local spots is Urban Grange Coffee in West Salem; he says the smell of freshly brewed coffee and homemade pastries that greets you as you walk in is the best!

Josh is also an ASTYM-certified provider, certified in Spinal Manipulative Therapy, a certified HawksGrips Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Specialist, and has taken extensive continuing education courses on spine and chronic pain care.
