Rehab & Performance · Bend, Oregon

A Strength-Focused Approach to Physical Therapy.

From nagging pain → Playing hard for life.

I help recreational athletes and lifters break the injury cycle — without quitting the training they love. No cookie-cutter rehab. No "just rest it." A real plan, built around your body and your goals.

01
Get Out of Pain

Root-cause treatment — not just symptom management.

02
Get Stronger

Progressive programming that builds real capacity.

03
Become Resilient

A body that holds up under the demands of your life.

Sound Familiar?

You Train Hard.
You're Still Stuck.

You show up consistently. You've tried the classes, the YouTube rehab, maybe even a round of traditional PT.

And you're still stuck. Still modifying. Still babying that shoulder. Still wondering if your back is ever going to let you deadlift the way you want to.

Here's the truth: generic programs don't fix specific problems. Cookie-cutter rehab doesn't build athletes. And telling someone to "just rest" has never made anyone stronger.

You're not broken.
You're just missing a plan.
No More
  • Cookie-cutter rehab with zero carryover to your actual training.

  • 30-minute sessions that barely scratch the surface.

  • Being told to stop doing the things you love.

  • Guessing what to do on your own between appointments.

How It Works

The Process

Four phases. A clear roadmap. No guesswork.

01
Phase 1
The Blueprint

A 60-minute 1:1 assessment — in-person or virtual. We go deep: what's going on, what your body is doing, and exactly what needs to change. You leave with a clear diagnosis, a clear prognosis, and a clear game plan. No guesswork. No vague advice. Just a roadmap.

02
Phase 2
Custom Programming

Your PT and coach builds a program built specifically for you — in-person and app-based. The right movements, the right progressions, and the lifestyle adjustments that actually move the needle. This isn't a template. It's yours.

03
Phase 3
Messaging + Accountability

Ongoing messaging and accountability from yours truly. Built-in habit and exercise tracking to make sure we get you to your goals — not just in sessions, but every day in between.

04
Phase 4
Education & Mindset

You deserve to understand what's happening in your body — not just follow instructions. We go into the why behind your pain, your training, your progress. The goal isn't just to get you out of pain. It's to make sure you never feel this lost again.

I couldn't lift a barbell a month ago. With Steven's help I was able to be confident lifting again — and even hit a new deadlift PR.

Real People. Real Training. Real Results.

From back surgery survivors to powerlifters to Highland Games athletes — here's what working together actually looks like.

Steven helped me with a recurring back injury and was able to provide guidance, support, and information to help me recover. I went from being afraid to lift weights again to having confidence and breaking personal bests by 20+ lbs in only a few months.

I am 100% pain free now and back to normal activities. One thing I loved most about Steven's approach: he focuses on athletes and people who enjoy being in the gym. No other physical therapist I've seen had done that before.

Ever since my back surgery, I struggled to load my squat and deadlift. Steven helped me adjust my form and my load — now I am stronger than I've ever been and don't have back pain with heavy lifts anymore.

Within a couple weeks I was able to sleep on that shoulder and lift without pain. I would highly recommend working with Steven — especially if you've ever been told you'd have to give up lifting for your injury to heal.

★★★★★
"

I came to him just weeks before a powerlifting meet with shoulder trouble and nerve pain. He helped me navigate through it so I could still compete — with less pain. As an athlete himself, he understands the challenges and deadlines of competition.

Steve holds me accountable, keeps me on track with my goals, encourages me during setbacks, and communicates regularly so I stay the course. I've seen huge improvements in a short amount of time. I feel privileged to be his client.
