Hea

ther Purdin, MS, PT, CMPT,

Graduated in 1997 from Duke University with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy and a Bachelor’s with honors in Psychology. She has developed expertise in orthopedic and neurological therapy, sports specific rehab and training, manual therapy for soft tissue release and alignment, pain management, strength/conditioning and weight loss, orthotic fabrication, vestibular rehab, pre/post pregnancy rehab/training, and lifestyle modification. She is pursuing a specialty certificate in orthopedic & manual therapy from North American Institute of Orthopeadic & Manual Therapy, Heather studied under Keith Kleven, Physical Therapist/trainer to top level professional athletes particularly in golf, baseball, boxing, and dance. She worked as the student athletic trainer to Duke’s sports teams including football, basketball, track and field, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and fencing. She has done research on exercise and Parkinson’s Disease. Heather is former Secretary of the Oregon Physical Therapy Association and public relations committee chair. She takes pride in her holistic approach to those seeking preventative care and rehabilitation by considering each person’s individual physical, psychological and social situation in her treatment plan. Heather hopes to continue sharing her knowledge and experience to better the health and quality of life of others. Graduated from the University of Delaware with a Masters in Physical Therapy. A versatile physical therapist, Emily has been working in this career for more than 20 years. She is an expert John Barnes Myofascial Release Bodyworker, and has treated chronic Pelvic Pain since 2014 with great success. She worked for OHSU and the Legacy system for years. Working largely with trauma patients, Emily learned early that everything in the body is connected. What happens to one part affects the others holistically. Postural alignment, core stability, and free breath support lead to less pain and improved function. Emily also specializes in balance and vestibular dysfunctions. After years spent with neurologically involved clients, she has an excellent “eye” for movement and coordination problems, as well as good facilitation skills to promote much improved motor control. This clinical skill allows Emily to provide exceptional care for the client with a stroke, rotator cuff problems as well as those with back pain or sprained ankles.
