Before Your Visit

The Physical Therapy Practice Act in Oregon mandates that we discharge a patient after 30 days of not being seen at IPA Physio for physical therapy services. After a patient has been discharged, we are required by law to do a new evaluation.

There is an exception if you and your physical therapist:

• Plan on following up in a certain amount of time as long as it is documented in your file
• Schedule the follow up appointment at the time of your last visit

We are licensed physical therapy professionals by the Oregon Board of Physical Therapy. According to our professional license, we are required to perform an evaluation on any patient seeking physical therapy treatment or treatment modalities (i.e. cold laser therapy), prior to providing any patient care. We understand it may seem like an unnecessary formality to you, but it is a mandated requirement.

Yes. In some cases IPA Physio Portland will accept workers comp cases or liens. Please contact us to inquire if we can accept your case.

SOON! In Oregon it will be explicitly permitted for physical therapists to perform dry needling as of July 1, 2027, following the passage of House Bill 3824.

We do not use ART specifically at IPA Physio Portland. However, there are some similarities between Functional Manual Therapy® and ART. If you have been told that you would benefit from ART, or have benefited from ART in the past, FMT will help take you to the next level.
