Peter graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2008 before earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Regis University in Denver, CO in 2011. He has been the director of Therapeutic Associates East Portland Physical Therapy since 2013.
Peter has completed post-doctoral work through the International Spine and Pain Institute and is now certified as a Therapeutic Pain Specialist. He is one of only a few physical therapists in the Portland Metro region to hold this distinction. He has also worked towards certification in manual therapy through the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy. As a former high school and Division III college athlete, he still has continued interest in athletics and has also directed injury prevention programs with student athletes of many ages and experience levels. He enjoys treating individuals of all ages and backgrounds, with special emphasis on complex conditions including chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders of the foot and ankle.
“I believe that individuals of all backgrounds and life experiences deserve the opportunity to get better. My job as your physical therapist is to provide you an avenue to get there. I will be here to guide you in that process through evidence-centered treatment, comprehensive patient education, and complete commitment to your needs as my patient.”
Peter is a native Oregonian and grew up in the Hood River Valley, where he also met his wife Caitlin. They now call a different valley home, having moved to Happy Valley in 2013. They have two wonderful children Audrey and Riley. Peter spends his free time running, though often states he never expected himself to become a runner. He participates yearly in the Hood to Coast Relay and has a goal of completing a marathon for the first time in 2017.
