Nick Rinard Physical Therapy (formerly Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy of Portland (MDT)) in Portland, Oregon, is a small network of Physical Therapy clinics devoted to healing people and giving them the power to heal themselves. Founded in 1999, MDT of Portland was the first Physical Therapy clinic in the Northwest devoted to practicing the MDT Method (including McKenzie Method, Musculo-skeletal Diagnosis and Treatment, Mulligan Mobilization with Movement, and other manual therapy methods). We have two Physical Therapy clinics serving the Portland Metro Area, plus opportunities at Mt. Hood, and remain the only Physical Therapy practice that specializes in the MDT method. For that dedication we have been rewarded with the reputation as the Physical Therapy Clinic That Gets Results. We honor that reputation every day by seeing our patients recover, more than 10,000 and counting, in as few as 4-6 visits. But don't just take our word for it; schedule a Physical Therapy appointment today and see for yourself how you can finally live pain free!

Thank you Kenny for sharing your Nick Rinard Physical Therapy experience!

I can’t say enough good things about Nick and his team. I watched a close friend go from years of slipped discs and constant back pain to healthy, happy, and strong after working with him — so when I had my first major back injury (thanks to downhill mountain biking), I knew exactly who to call.

For a full year, I tried to self-manage with yoga and 30–60 minutes of foam rolling every day just to function semi-normally. It finally hit me that I needed real help. On my very first visit, Nick diagnosed a bulged disc in my lower back. After my second visit and a week of “homework,” I felt immediate relief. My hips and back finally calmed down, and the foam roller got a much-needed vacation.

By the 3rd and 4th visits, the disc was fully back in place and strengthening. The plan was precise, the diagnosis spot-on, and the treatment an absolute success. I had honestly started to believe my physical life wouldn’t return to normal — but Nick proved me wrong.

My 5th and final visit wrapped everything up with a long-term plan and prevention strategy. No unnecessary appointments, no upselling, just effective and affordable care.

I genuinely feel indebted to Nick and his staff. If you’re hurting, don’t wait a year like I did — I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Getting patients rapid results because it is what you should expect from physical therapy.

Patients in a discharged in 5 visits!

"L5 low back goes out when physical activity.

I was stuck and my entire hips seized up.

Now my back is strengthening, disc bulge gone, and plan in place for reoccurrences if necessary."

Thank you so much Joe for sharing your Nick Rinard Physical Therapy experience with Natasha Rinard on google!!

"I was having consistent pain in my left hand from years of wrestling and weightlifting. Natasha Rinard gave me exceptional care and attention, focusing on my injury and helping me recover faster than I expected. Her knowledge and personalized approach made all the difference. She’s not only great at what she does but also a genuinely kind person I looked forward to seeing. My wife had a great experience with Nick Rinard as well, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return to this wonderful team if we ever need help again."

We could not do what we did without great patients like you!!

One of the most common reason for cancelling fun plans and missing work is due to headaches!

If you have them, we can help you get rid of them and back to work and doing the things you enjoy,

"Headache due to muscular skeletal muscle spasm in neck causing left side only headache.

Nick Rinard was able to diagnose and create a treatment plan to reduce the skeletal friction.

I had to work on this plan between visits, got excellent relief after 3-4 visits.

Extremely please with the outcome."

"I was referred to Nick by my orthopedic specialist because I was suffering extreme arthritic neck pain, which greatly limited my mobility and caused debilitating headaches.

My outcome after 4 visits...
- I know how to quickly get rid of my now, very rare, headaches
- My neck feels normal again. Range of motion is back and it's moving without pain.

Thank you Nick! For creating such a warm and caring atmosphere. AND sharing your knowledge to help me get better. And the laughs!

Thank you Kari ! For your massages, tips and beautiful smiles.

I recommend your practice to all!"

As summer comes to an end today- the talk of football is all around us.

Are you looking to practice with your junior football star but can't due to neck and shoulder pain?

Now is the time to get in - so you can stay on your game this season.

"I came in for pain in my neck and right shoulder area.

It has been bothering me in that area on and off for years.

Nick did an amazing job peeling the layers to realize the pain and limitations.

I no longer need to modify my mobility in workouts or around the house.

And I feel stronger!"
