Traditional physical therapy is incredibly important to the recovery process and we are not trying to replace it, but to provide an additional avenue for accomplishing therapy goals. Most of our activities are based outdoors or in the community, so we are able to utilize natural barriers that are often not available in the clinic environment.
Innovative, out-of-the-box approach to Physical Therapy. We take the clinic into the outdoors, so that you experience recovery in the most dynamic and challenging environment. You get to enjoy the outdoors while improving your movement and health! We offer one-on-one appointments in the Bend-Redmond area parks and we are here to help you on your journey to greater health and movement!

I have had MS for for 25 years. My symptoms and losses seemed inevitable to me. Rachel at Destination Rehab COMPLETELY changed my life, energy and abilities. She was able to use both her skills as a PT and understanding of personality (mine is too goal oriented and driven) to help me stop falling, find better balance in walking and my life and help me with vertigo. The greatest gift was teaching me HIIT - high intensity interval training. That has improved my energy, strength and outlook on life. She also accompanied me to change from a regular bike (from which I fell almost every time I rode it

Our (my husband and I) experience with Destination Rehab was a wonderful one. We had recently moved back to Oregon after a lengthy absence. Dave was having problems with balance and movement. He had tried a Rehab where he had a gait belt attached and a therapist would walk him around the therapy space. He had exercises to do. We would come home. We tried some Parkinson's dance, etc. But honestly it wasn't a good match. Then we discovered Destination Rehab. What a difference this made in our lives for the next two years. We did outdoor activities such as pickleball, hikes (like Lava Butte, spring

My ongoing experience with Destination Rehab is positive in so many ways. It's focus has been on innovative ways to make outdoor activities accessible and safe for stroke patients like me as well as people with other neurological problems. Not only has it affected my physical well being, but my mental state, giving me the confidence to tackle things I never thought I could do.

Destination Rehab is a creative, inspiring and empowering physical therapy program that takes people from the clinic and home environment to the outdoors! Using tools like kayaks, hiking trails and even the snow as “equipment” changes the experience and provides people with real life therapies that can be done almost anywhere with anyone!
