Whether you are walking to exercise the dog, build strength, lose weight, or improve your cardiovascular health, you shouldn’t just go for a stroll down the lane. It is important to vary your intensity to get the most out of your workout when you are out on the beautiful 33 acres of green space in the community.
Humans were designed to be efficient walkers. Compared to other species, we are two-footed, rotate through our trunk, and our hips extend. These contribute to efficiency.
However, efficiency and a comfortable pace will not burn many calories or improve strength and cardiovascular health. To achieve ...

I was training on my bicycle for my longest ride to date; the Reach The Beach that takes us from Portland to the Oregon coast (Pacific City). As I trained, I would notice on longer rides that I would suffer various physiological symptoms ranging from aches and pains to numbness in my fingers and feet. At the advice of my trainer I visited Bethany Physical Therapy for a Bike Fit. It was probably the best thing I have done for my riding. Jessica worked with my bike and me and adjusted numerous things on my bike. When I got out for a test ride, it felt like I had just bought a new bike. The whole feel and the power being exerted on the bike changed completely; I was able to ride faster, my cadence improved and my comfort on the bike was greatly improved.
I rode on May 21st on the RTB and completed the RTB from the Newberg start to Cape Kiwanda. I felt great through out and at the end. If you have been contemplating a bike fit, my advice is to stop contemplating and just go get it done. It is the best investment you can do to improve your riding along with training. If you are wondering where, Jessica and her staff get my vote.
Jessica Dorrington furnished excellent rehabilitative care for a number of my injuries and conditions over the course of several years. Jessica’s hands-on work provided pain relief and she clearly communicated the exercise instructions. Her encouragement helped me stick with my rehab program so I could recover mobility and strength. The fact that I now teach three yoga classes a week at our local community center and a yoga studio on the North Oregon Coast is directly attributable to the professional treatment, support and guidance I received from Jessica and her competent staff.
Dear Jessica,
I just want to thank you for everything you have done for me. I am so grateful that I was blessed to have you to help me through all of my problems. You are an amazing physical therapist and I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am for all you have done. I can tell you really care and that is the difference between a good and a great person!
Sincerely,
Melanie
Bethany Physical Therapy is the best! They have helped rehab my shoulder and my knee, my sons knee, my daughters ankle, and another daughter’s knee – so we’ve been there a lot! They are so good at figuring out exactly what the problem is and are make it better! Thank you for all you’ve done for us!
In 2006 I started seeing Jessica for a challenge with my back. At this point I was beginning my journey to complete my first marathon and with Jessica’s amazing knowledge and fortitude she helped me cross the finish line of marathon number one. Since then I have completed six more marathon’s and have continued to see Jessica and her amazing team of physical therapists for other ailments I have aquired along the way. Thanks Jess…you are the best

Finding new knee pain and leg pain hasn’t been fun the last few months. Thinking I was going to die, or never walk again waiting for the month to pass to get in to see specialists came to a stop when Lisa Fenster of Bethany put her magic to work. After her first massage, I was so shocked! I’ve gone from Pain-8/9 to Pain 2/3 and I am so appreciative!!
Saw the orthopedic Dr yesterday who said, “Sorry you’re too young for surgery, we’ll just manage pain” I pretty much said, “No problem Doc! I got it covered!”
Lisa is amazing!
