Beyond the Clinic

My mother recently finished her Physical Therapy (PT) sessions with Beyond the Clinic after a total right knee replacement. It was our lucky day when she cancelled her appointments with the recommended clinic in town and switched to Beyond the Clinic. By being able to stay at home and have the PT come for home visits, she no longer needed to worry about depending on her husband driving her to appointments, making him wait for her, or dealing with the literal pain of getting in and out of the car. Ben Musholt was her main PT with Aaron Saari seamlessly substituting twice.
On the first visit Ben assessed not only her condition, but her home. He gave us input on where she could do exercises and which chairs & sofas would be appropriate props. He also reviewed what exercises could be done in her bed, the living room, dining room or even using the kitchen counter. He watched how she walked around her home, on the driveway or along the road, so she could then practice every day on her own. This far exceeded the PT given in an office.
She feels that she never would have had the level of input where she could effectively go through the painful exercises and stretches she needed and still needs to do to get back to normal.
Every time Ben came, he assessed not only her progress and answered questions, but also gave her more ways to exercise the same muscles. Ben and Aaron were friendly, but firm in that she needed to endure the painful stretches, if she wanted to keep her goal of walking without a limp. They showed us how to massage the knee and leg to move the swelling, how to work the scar and knee area to loosen the skin, and how to breathe to ease the painful exercises.
She still has a long way to go, but we all feel so fortunate to have met Ben and Aaron in her home environment. She can now continue getting better knowing how to help herself at home in the best way. Any one of us would recommend Beyond the Clinic in a heartbeat.

Simply awesome service — one of the best experiences ever! I broke my ankle skiing. After surgery, my main goal was to get back on the slopes as fast as possible. Aaron S. was the most amazing PT! Not only did he focus on my goal — once I was ready he even gave me workouts that made me a better skier than I was before my injury!
Having him come to my house at first was a huge plus since I couldn’t drive. Meeting at the gym later was even better once I was mobile — he taught me exercises that were fun and ski-​focused. Not only a great therapist but just an all-​round cool, nice guy able to motivate and support me during a tough time. One of our final «sessions» was actually skiing up at Mt. Hood — can’t really ask for any better follow through on meeting my original goal!
Also, the business is owned by the therapists– how cool. If you or your loved ones have any PT/​OT needs don’t look any further — call Beyond the Clinic and you won’t regret it!
