💬 “Helping people reach their goals — that’s what keeps me motivated.”

For Ken Call, PT, DPT and clinic director, some of the most rewarding moments in his career come from seeing patients return to the activities and adventures they love — whether it’s hiking up Badger Mountain or celebrating life milestones with family.

At Therapeutic Associates, we’re proud to empower our patients to move freely and live actively every day. 💪

Behind every great patient outcome is a team that never stops learning. Our clinics regularly come together for in-services to collaborate, problem-solve, and exchange best practices. It’s one of the many ways we invest in our clinicians’ continued development and keep our care cutting-edge.

Are you engaging your core correctly?

If you’ve ever been told to “engage your core” but weren’t quite sure what that actually means, this video is for you!

We’re talking about the transverse abdominis—your deepest core muscles. Correct core engagement is key for all functional movement, from lifting groceries to hitting the gym. These stabilizing muscles are the foundation for safe, strong movement.

Learning to activate them properly can help with:
✅ Reducing back pain
✅ Improving posture
✅ Enhancing balance
✅ Boosting performance in everyday tasks

If you’re unsure if you’re activating your core the right way, talk to your physical therapist. We’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free!

Meet our new(ish) staff PT Hannah Jamie. She is an amazing human and PT. We know you would love her as much as we do if you met her. Catch a glimpse now…..

1. Where is your hometown? — I grew up in the opposite corner of the country — in Ft. Myers, FL!

2. How long have you lived in Bend? — We moved here August 30th, 2024, so almost one year!

3. What is your fave color and why? — I’ve always loved shades of blue. I grew up near the ocean, and blue always feels like a very calming, peaceful color.

4. What is your fave food? — I love meatballs! Meatball sub, spaghetti and meatballs— however they’re served I love ‘em!

5. Where is your fave place to hangout? — My favorite place to be is with my family! We love going on walks and hikes, exploring together.

6. What are your hopes and dreams about the future? — What a big question! Vocationally, I love spending time with patients of all ages and athletic abilities. I enjoy mentoring students and would love to do more of this in the future. In my personal life, nothing makes my heart happy like spending time together as a family. We have a toddler, and I’m due with baby #2 this October. My biggest hope for the future is a healthy life of big hugs and little family adventures together.

7. What is in the back of your refrigerator rn? — We ALWAYS have the fridge stocked with fruit. Our 1.5-year-old toddler snarfs down fruit like it’s going out of style, so we try to stay ahead of the hungry little peanut!
