Jeffrey Blanchard PT, MS, OCS

Director: Valley Physical Therapy - South

Jeff claims to be an Oregonian at heart through his father’s family, who began farming Yamhill County in the late 1800’s. His odyssey covered virtually every corner of the country before he was able to set up shop here in the great northwest. After graduation from Trumbull High School in Connecticut, Jeff pursued his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. He spent 2 years after his freshman year serving as a missionary in Madrid, Spain, which is where he learned fluency in the Spanish language. Shortly after his return, he met and married his wife, Janalyn. Jeff went on to earn his Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

Jeff brings valuable orthopedic and manual therapy experience to TAI Valley South. He is one of only a handful of Board Certified Orthopedic Specialists here in the mid Willamette Valley. As such, he is better equipped to address more complicated injuries and dysfunction. Jeff has been trained in spinal manipulation and is also ASTYM™ certified, which has proved to be a powerful addition to his eclectic background in manual therapy. While Jeff is away from his clinic, he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 sons. He can often be found with his boys hiking and backpacking the many scenic trails of the great Northwest.
