We Focus on Teamwork
Since our inception in 2005, we have created a clinic where
patients are offered the most comprehensive and effective
care. We pride ourselves in providing a setting that values
our patient’s comfort, privacy and desire to work collaboratively
on their recovery. Our success and winning formula for patient
care have allowed us to expand into two full service clinics
here in Bend.
Our therapy team and administrative staff are
dedicated to helping our patients make a complete recovery
while making them feel like a part of our extended family.
Our staff will take the time to get to know each patient,
make them feel comfortable and safe while achieving immediate
results in pain relief, strength, flexibility and balance.
Focus Physical Therapy, Inc. has the most comprehensive treatment
approach and varied program offerings of any small clinic
in Central Oregon. Our customer service is second to none.
