Tired of Pain
Getting in the Way?
You didn't move to Bend — or build a life around staying active — to sit on the sidelines. Apply below to see if you're a fit for the program that actually fixes the problem instead of just telling you to rest.
Sound Familiar?
Your knee aches on every descent, your shoulder flares on the trail, or your back locks up mid-ride — and you just keep managing it instead of fixing it
You've taken time off, felt okay, then the same pain came back the moment you got back to the mountain, the trail, or the gym
You've been told to "just rest" or "avoid that activity" — but Bend isn't really a place where sitting it out feels like an option
You're modifying every ride, hike, run, lift, or pickleball game around the pain instead of just doing the thing you love
Staying Active
Is the Point.
Most rehab stops the pain temporarily without fixing why it's happening. You feel better, get back out there, and a few weeks later the same knee, shoulder, or back is flaring up again — because nothing actually changed.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and certified strength coach, I find the root cause, keep you as active as possible throughout the process, and build your body back up to handle the demands of the trail, the mountain, and the gym. You don't have to choose between getting better and staying active.

"Your body is more capable than you've been told."
— Dr. Steven DobsonReal People. Real Results.
Steven helped me with a recurring 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 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.
If you're looking for physical therapy that actually helps you not only rehab but get back to doing what you love, look no further. He really cares about his patients and it shows in the results.
