Helping you navigate your way to recovery.

At Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy – South Salem, our number one objective is to help you achieve your goals by getting to the root of what is causing the problem. We prioritize open communication and education, to ensure that we hear and understand your story, and that you not only learn about your diagnosis but also understand what to do to expedite healing and prevent reoccurrence of the same condition. We specialize in treating difficult and chronic cases and are committed to your recovery.

Driven by excellence.

As highly trained healthcare professionals, our physical therapists design individualized plans for every patient, whether they’re treating an injury, addressing pain, managing a chronic disease or illness or focusing on movement function and performance. We take a whole-body approach to promote healing through reducing pain and inflammation, increasing range of motion and strength, and improving body awareness and body mechanics. Our focus is on improving the quality of our patients’ lives through providing unmatched care and clinical excellence while building lifelong relationships. 

Our commitment to continuing education keeps our physical therapists on the leading edge of treatment methods for a wide range of conditions and services. We believe that this higher level of post graduate work better prepares physical therapists to handle more complicated cases and facilitates a faster recovery. Our locally-owned, state-of-the-art clinic boasts large, private, peaceful treatment rooms and a well-equipped gym with exceptional views. We prioritize maintaining a healing atmosphere where together we will work to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.

Committed to our local communities.

We are proud to be a part of the diverse Salem region and to have the opportunity to be a part of our communities’ healthcare teams. We believe in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in individuals of all ages and abilities. As rehabilitation, movement, and wellness specialists, we prioritize community involvement, which we believe enhances patient experiences and outcomes.

I am a retired nurse of 30 years and have been in and out of physical therapy for over 15 years. I have seen many therapists in this time and this practice has two of the best ones I have seen in all that time. They are absolutely doing so many things right! Josiah and Jeff and not only both incredibly competent, they are both excellent with the patients they see. They listen intently and truly seem to care about the issues their client is facing. Any treatment I have been prescribed by them has been bang on target and effective at mitigating my issues. Every other staff member I have met at the practice is pleasant and efficient, professional and considerate.

The staff and therapists at Theraputic Associates are dedicated to providing quality care for patients and it shows in every aspect of their interactions with their clients. I had a partial knee replacement surgery in April of 2026 and was referred to Theraputic Associates for physical therapy and I’m so glad I was! While my case might not be typical, I’d completed my PT in about 6 weeks. Of course, every patient is different and your results may vary but, regardless, I was impressed with the way the staff and therapists treated not only myself but other patients there with courtesy, compassion and tailored therapy for each patient. Can’t recommend them highly enough for helping me bounce back from my knee replacement. Give them a call! You’ll be happy you did!
