Kasia payed attention to what I needed and the exercises she gave me were right on target and took care of my problem! I really liked the time and individual attention she gave me!

Following knee replacement, PT and over a year of trying to work with pain and movement, a friend recommended Focus PT. Peter is fantastic and has been able to sort through and find solutions for issues that accumulated through overcompensating for a still struggling knee. I can't say enough about his patience, thorough analysis of a problem, talent for providing treatment, exercises, solutions...and his kindness. Thank you Peter! Included in my huge thanks is Focus PT's owner, Burke, and the life-changing suggestion he made during a bike fit appointment. Burke, too, is patient, a great listener and a biker, himself. As an aging but avid mountain biker, I was still in pain at every rotation 20 months out of surgery. Burke suggested shorter cranks to lessen the angle on rotation. Relief was immediate, and after a month of significantly shorter cranks (from 170mm to 150mm), I can ride almost pain free, and the chronic inflammation is now greatly diminished.Thank you Burke and Peter~ Focus PT has my full recommendation in every way!

I found Focus because I am a member of the adjoining gym. I had a partial knee replacement (and 2 follow up surgeries) about 15 years ago that flared up after a car accident. Since then, the constant pain has made it hard to live a normal life. When I started working out again, I realized that my knee was really holding me back so I wanted to get some help with relief. Kyle is one of the best PTs I have ever been to. Between being a powerlifter, my knee replacement, and the accident, I have been to a lot of doctors and PTs with varying levels of effectiveness. Kyle really listens, offers realistic incremental movements, and obviously knows his stuff. Once my knee started feeling better, we realized my back had been compensating for it for so long that it had issues as well. We worked through those and I'm back on my knee regimen. Not having unrelenting burning and shooting pain has allowed me to squat and do lunges again. Obviously, nothing will ever be perfect, and it will take a long time to undo years of physical damage and protective behavior but I haven't felt this good and optimistic in a very long time. Thank you for helping me move forward with doing what I love. Each milestone is a gift. I also have to mention that the front office ladies are so amazing. They are fun to chat with while waiting for appointments, they explain insurance and billing really well, and are suuuper nice about scheduling and rescheduling. Overall a 13/10 experience!

I can't say enough good things about every physical therapist I've worked with at Focus. From needing a tune up on my knee before a winter of skiing or support and healing after major orthopedic injuries, they have helped me get back to 100% for 9 years now.

Over the last ten years I have needed PT for a variety of injuries. When I visited Focus early on for a program to help my shoulder, I was totally impressed with the progressive care and hands on therapy I received.I returned for treatment again after rotator cuff surgery in March. Within a few weeks I regained movement and strength and am now post therapy. As a daily runner, cyclist, and hiker I am now back to an active lifestyle. Thank you Burke and Denise!

I'm extremely happy with the bike-fitting service at Focus Physical Therapy. I was so impressed with Burke PT and Focus Physical Therapy that they have done three bike fittings for me. Being a long time bike rider (25+ years) with a leg length discrepancy and who experiencing knee issues, I felt it was important to get a bike fit. As a rider, I know the importance of a bike fit to one's performance and comfort.Burke PT is knowledgeable and professional. In addition to being a physical therapist he an avid bike rider. I've had other bike fits in the past where the person made some adjustments and then told me to just ride and come back to make adjustments. The bike fitting at Focus Physical Therapy is heads and tails above anything I've had in the past. Burke took joint measurements, tested my flexibility, and shot video of me riding my bike. To get the most out of riding your bike, do yourself a big favor and get a bike fitting from Focus Physical Therapy!

My experience at Focus was the most pleasurable PT I have been too. Cristin my therapist was very competent, kind and helped me recover from a back injury. I like the fact that I saw the same therapist for every visit and the environment was private and one on one. Hayden and all of the girls at the front desk were happy, nice and helpful.

Totally enjoyed my experience. Went in with a knee that hadn't been able to bend fully and constant pain since moving to Central Oregon last June. The staff was helpful working with my insurance and Kyle did wonders with my knee. After a few months, I'm able to move and pain is way more tolerable. Kyle explained what was going on and if I keep up with the stretches and exercises, I should be back to almost 100%! At my age, I'll be happy with almost. I highly recommend Focus, they're great!

Came to Focus after an ACL reconstruction surgery and worked with Cristin Reed. The staff at Focus were very nice and working with Cristin was a great experience. She has over 14 years of experience and while she does not specialize in knee surgery recovery she has seen a lot of it over the years because it is so common. It was nice to have a full hour of one-on-one time with Cristin during our appointments as I hear that is not always the case with other PT centers. We would typically spend the first portion of the visit going over progress and any set-backs while she warmed up the muscles around my knee. Then we would move to exercises and workouts in the gym. While this facility doesn't have all the fancy toys I have heard of at other locations they have everything you need to start you on the road to recovery. Sometimes I would have liked to be pushed a little harder during exercises but fully understand that your PT is there to give you the tools to recover while keeping you safe. It is up to you to push yourself at home to perform the exercises they recommend. I am now 9 months post surgery and have been PTing on my own for 6 months. While I am not 100% back to where I was before surgery, I am able to participate in all the activities and sports that I want to. I thank Cristin and the people at Focus for getting me started on the road to recovery!

There's a lot of different places to go for physical therapy in Bend. Each tout their own business models as being the best. Having received physical therapy at a few different facilities in town, I can say that without a doubt, Focus has the best model. First of all, when you walk in the door of Focus, you're treated as part of their family, not as just another person on an assembly line. You're given immediate attention and respect. Once you are through the doors, you are working with a physical therapist for 100% of your visit. Not some sort of random assistant with minimal, if any, experience in the field. Lastly, if you're looking for a physical therapist who will meet you where you're at in your rehab journey, I would strongly suggest you give Carlee Uhrich, MSPT, COMT a shot. She was my therapist for over a year when I tore my ACL. I liked working with her because she really listened to my needs and created a plan based on what I was struggling with during each specific session. I greatly valued her ability to assess when it was appropriate to give me a break and when it was appropriate to push me. I had my moments when everything just felt like it would never improve. Carlee was able to sense that, and was there for me in a professional and respectful manner. She listened to my struggles and we set goals together to ensure we stayed on top of my recovery plan. She was real with me when I wanted to do things that were too far fetched and made sure I stayed safe when all I wanted to do was get back to normal as soon as humanly possible. I am truly grateful for her commitment to my success.

I’ve always had an excellent experience with Focus PT. I’ve gone to several other PT providers over the years and this one is hands down the most friendly and personable. My therapist Kari K is awesome. She has treated a myriad of aches and pains for me and keeps me upright and a productive member of society. I can say we have fun during our sessions even while she is working hard on me. she is great and if I can keep going to her (as long as I need to), I will be happy!The office management/staff work super hard with scheduling and billing and are very professional. The bathroom is always clean and supplied. They keep the waiting area pleasant and comfy with daily newspapers, magazines, little sweet candies and sometimes other swag like pens or lip balm. Finally, the last reason why I give a 5 star rating to these folks is that Focus is not a big box PT facility where you start with one person treating you, then are handed off to another, and there are so many people there it feels like a socializing gym, not a treatment facility. Focus is for me.
