A lot of work injuries come from posture, repetition, or long days on the job—not just accidents. When prescribed by your doctor, physical therapy is often covered by Workman’s Comp. We work with people throughout the Columbia River Gorge to treat work-related injuries, reduce pain, and help prevent them from coming back so you can get back to work feeling better.

✨ Staff Highlight of the Week ✨
Meet Gwenyth O’Brien, PT, DPT — Pelvic Health Specialist

Gwen takes a truly patient-centered approach to care, focusing on each person’s unique goals when creating a recovery plan. Before becoming a physical therapist, she spent over 12 years teaching in outdoor education and performing arts—experiences that shaped her passion for education, wellness, and empowering people through movement.

Gwen has completed post-graduate certification in pelvic health physical therapy through Herman & Wallace, a nationally respected leader in pelvic floor education. She treats a wide range of pelvic health conditions including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery.

When she’s not in the clinic, Gwen embraces everything the Columbia River Gorge has to offer—trail running with her dogs Charlie and PJ, rafting local rivers, or hanging upside down teaching aerial arts in downtown Hood River.

We’re lucky to have her on our team 💙

🌟 Staff Highlight: Bettina, the Founder & Owner of Columbia Gorge PT & Sports Medicine 🌟

Meet Bettina, the visionary who founded our clinic in 1997 and continues to lead with a patient-first philosophy. With a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology/Exercise Physiology, massage therapy training, and a Master’s in Physical Therapy (with distinction), Bettina has built a career grounded in advanced education, specialization, and compassionate care.

Her expertise spans sports injury rehabilitation, upper and lower extremity dysfunction, biomechanical assessments, Pilates-based core stabilization, BFR training using the KAATSU method, and postural retraining. She’s worked with athletes at every level—from youth sports to Olympic and professional competitors—and is passionate about educating both kids and adults on whole-body health.

Over the past decade, Bettina has also focused intensely on treating persistent pain linked to lifestyle, metabolic, and autoimmune conditions. Her research into medical cannabis reflects her commitment to helping patients better understand and manage pain, inflammation, and the anxiety that often comes with it.

Originally from Colorado, Bettina’s love for small towns and outdoor adventure brought her to Hood River, where she continues to enjoy road and mountain biking, skiing, kiting, strength training, fly fishing, and spending quality time with her three dogs.

We’re incredibly grateful for her leadership, dedication, and the exceptional care she brings to the Columbia River Gorge community. 💚🌲
