Valley Physical Therapy – South
About the Clinic
At Therapeutic Associates Valley Physical Therapy South, we take pride in the QUALITY of physical therapy we offer. Our team of experts includes four highly trained physical therapists to support your overall health and wellness. You will find that every visit is with one of our skilled physical therapists who will make getting to the root of what is causing your problem their priority.
We believe that communication is very important. During your visit with your physical therapist, you will be listened to and will have the opportunity to not only learn about your diagnosis, but you will learn what to do in order to speed your healing and PREVENT reoccurrence of the same problem. We specialize in treating difficult and chronic cases that may not have improved with previous therapies.
Services include manual therapy (including spinal manipulation), ASTYM™, post-surgical rehab, spinal rehab, biomechanical assessments of running and sports injuries, personal training, orthopedic physical therapy, strengthening and conditioning therapy, treatment of arthritis, neck and back care, treatment of chronic pain, women’s health, myofascial therapy, sports therapy, osteoporosis treatment, work conditioning, on-site ergonomic evaluation, post-motor vehicle accident treatment, and advanced balance training. All of these services and more are offered in our brand new state-of-the-art clinic where you will enjoy large private treatment rooms with plenty of peace and quiet, beautiful views from our gym, brand new exercise equipment, and a healing atmosphere complimented by an on-site massage therapist.
We are also proud to announce the first residency trained physical therapist in the city of Salem! Josiah Faville has just recently completed his residency in advanced orthopedic care which has better prepared him to work with even more complicated cases. We currently have other therapists who are enrolled in this advanced training at this time. Our motivation to pursue exceptional orthopedic training is to be able to offer the BEST physical therapy possible and to be able to assist our patients in the return to their chosen activities as quickly as possible. Come and participate in our superior approach to rehabilitation.

Two years ago, physical therapist Chris Cooper treated a somewhat unusual patient. The 51-year-old man had been playing basketball and turned his ankle. Cooper had certainly seen sprained ankles before. But what made this case unique was that the patient had not been referred by a doctor. He made the appointment for physical therapy on his own.

My Physical Therapist Helped me Get Here!
After a few months as a “new” masters swimmer, I developed increasingly severe shoulder pain. I needed to get better, but didn’t want to quit swimming. Josiah was fantastic in not only helping me rehabilitate, but encouraging me to swim without re-injury. My previous experiences with physical therapy were so different than I received with Josiah. Not only did he not hurt me during therapy, but after each session I could feel the improvement. Thank you Josiah for helping this old, new athlete remain active and in the water.
