HOOD RIVER — For Gorge residents recovering from injury or orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation assistance is available at Rebound Hood River Physical Therapy Monday through Friday.
Now celebrating one year in the community, the clinic is located next to the Columbia Gorge Community College. Physical therapists Sally Muir, Andy Roof and Tom Fliss have many years of treating patients in the Gorge. The group of board-certified orthopedic clinic specialists are experts in orthopedic outpatient physical therapy and sports injuries.
Raised in the Columbia River Gorge, Muir became interested in physical therapy after receiving treatment following several sports injuries and surgeries. Prior to joining Rebound, Muir practiced in a variety of settings, including rural communities in The Dalles, Hood River, Alaska and urban clinics in Utah. She is a certified bike fitter and worked as the team therapist for the Major League Soccer team in Sandy, Utah.
Roof worked in outpatient orthopedics in The Dalles for nearly 20 years before joining Rebound. He is experienced in treating neck and back pain, shoulders and knees, any sports injury, running and cycling overuse injuries and orthopedic postsurgical patients. He also has specialized training in vestibular rehabilitation for patients experiencing vertigo or dizziness.
Fliss has worked in orthopedics for the last 11 years at the Hood River waterfront and in The Dalles. Injury patterns of Gorge athletes have led him to develop experience in shoulder injuries, spine pain and neurological conditions, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, foot pain, orthotic needs and return-to-sport training.
“I saw the need for improved physical therapy access in the Gorge, my local community, and we wanted to bring the expertise of Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery right here,” said the practice’s Chief Operating Officer Christina McManigal. “As a whole, Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery provides our region with specialized care to help restore strength and rebound. Our physical therapists play an integral role in that mission, and we’re proud to offer their services in Hood River.”
Rebound’s physical therapists are available to assist and may be able to make an appointment as soon as three to seven days. Rebound Hood River Physical Therapy is located at 1700 12th St., Suite C. The office can be reached at 360-449-8700.
