Awesome place, they worked me hard and were able to get me feeling better and stronger
I been going to physical therapy for my back and plus I am pragnent. It has been helping me a lot. I got foot lift in my right shoe because it is shorter than the other and it been helping ever since Susan gave it to me and been helping me. I'm glad that I have this help with the pain. I'm getting better everyday, thank you for the help!
I've had very good experiences with physical therapists over the years, but I had an exceptionally fine experience working with Nicholas Ing last year. Nick was a new employee at Benchmark (Burnside).
My left ankle was badly broken many years ago, and it has impaired my gait significantly since then. While I got around well enough, I had to put up with a lot of soreness and fatigue if I walked any distance or if the terrain was irregular. Walking up hills was particularly difficult because of the limited flexibility of the joint. That really put a crimp in my hiking.
When I made an appointment with Nick, I wanted help with tightness and cramping in my thigh and butt that was caused by my gait. It made it hard for me to sleep.
Nick did a lot to help me with the tension in my thigh and butt, but he wasn't satisfied with that. He wanted to improve my gait by increasing the flexibility and strength of the ankle and foot. After 50 years, I was doubtful that any improvement was possible, but he proved me wrong. Within a few weeks my ankle and my foot had loosened dramatically, and they have continued to improve. I spent October in Spain, doing lots of walking indoors and in the cobbled streets. My foot, my ankle and my leg held up great. Thanks, Nick.
Very satisfied with the service, professionalism, and results.
I cannot say enough good things about Suzanne and Nick! I went to BenchMark with a limited amount of time being that I live overseas and was just home visiting in Portland. I got in for appointments right away and I was able to have several visits before I had to sadly leave. Both were fantastic to work with and alleviated my concerns of having to continue exercises on my own. They were so encouraging and helpful. I am so glad I took the time to have the visits that I did. I just wish I would have had more time to work with them!
Highly recommended. I've had 2 surgeries and this most recent rehab was exponentially better than my first. I went to Benchmark after a shoulder labral repair. I was incredibly pleased with my experience! Alex was my PT (he is extremely up-building, patient, and thorough. Any questions I had were answered! And I had a lot... He was never rushed and was always 100% present w/ my care) though I also met and spoke with Susanne (who I did not have time to work with but could tell is a champion). AND they take OHP. It was a total win-win.
Nick Ing has been amazing at helping me work through some complex, nuanced and sometimes moving physical ailments. He has been tenacious at figuring it/them out and his knowledge is truly incomparable. Plus, the PT sessions are fun. It feels so awesome to have such an increase in my range of motion, reduced pain and ability to get back to some HIIT workouts!
Treatment helped me get back to health, with a very profesional and friendly team.
I recommended highly.
I could no be more pleased with my results from my time with Nick (Ing) and Benchmark Physical Therapy on E. Burnside. My visits started with a recommendation for surgery for my issue. I had the option to have surgery, with a 60-70% success rate, or trying physical therapy to achieve improvement. Thankfully I chose physical therapy. For less than amount of time I would ve be out with surgery I have achieved 95% relief. Full disclosure: If I were more consistent with my exercises and stretches at home it would be 100%.
Nick is awesome! He listened to my concerns, translated my odd pain descriptions and found the correct exercises and treatments to help alleviate my pain. Nick is very thorough, knowledgeable and personable. He made every visit fun and easy. The whole staff is great. It s like visiting friends when you go there. I have been recommending Nick and Benchmark to my coworkers and I would highly recommend Nick and Benchmark on E. Burnside to anyone in need of physical therapy. Thank you Nick and Benchmark for making me feel better.
In the 8 years I worked in the skilled therapy department, there have been two therapists I felt were outstanding in their commitment to the advancement and utilization of physical therapy to help people recover. Those two were my supervisor, and my recent PT, Nicholas Ing. Nick isn't just any PT, he is a DPT and it shows in the depth of his knowledge and skills. Yet, he is very friendly, easy to talk to, and makes you confident and excited about making you stronger than you were before. Never thought PT could be fun. Thank you Nick!
Nicholas Ing was super helpful in getting me back into shape following my collarbone injury. He is very knowledgable and explains things clearly, allowing even more room for growth since your know what you need to do to get your body back in good health.
I'm sure I'll be going back for any PT if need be!
Susanne Trebnick and Nicholas Ing did a wonderful job working with me both during pregnancy and after a c section.
My physical therapist at BenchMark PT was Nick Ing. I came in with a slightly torn rotator cuff muscle, and shoulder impingement, and Nick was amazing at helping me rehabilitate to full strength.
He helped me understand exactly what was going on with my shoulder, and worked with me for a couple of months on going through the exercises I needed in order to heal. Despite being hard work at times going through physical therapy, it was a great experience.
Nick seems very qualified, friendly, and easy to work with, putting his patients first and advocating for them, getting to 100%.
I would definitely recommend him if you need PT!
Nick Ing is wonderful. He is an active listener and kind provider. Highly recommend.
Katie is amazing. I can't believe how different (good) I feel since coming here. I appreciate the connection and understanding.
I cannot say enough good things about Nicholas. Today was my last session and I have to say I was sad to say goodbye. Nicholas is professional, knowledgeable, and comforting. He is a wonderful Physical Therapist. And I have to say the staff is just as wonderful.
I like the mall 205 location much better. Easy, accessible, handicap parking right in front, street level access , far more spacious, newer equipment, lots of light through the big windows and trees to look at with a great aesthetic. A good esthetic helps create a great experience and good mood throughout one s therapy. Now I feel cramped in upon arrival trying to find parking and with the close proximity to other clients. Nonetheless, thank goodness the same great physical therapist are there!
After 8 months of physical therapy, today was my last appointment and I'm actually a bit sad to say goodbye to my wonderful PT Alex Henningsen who was knowledgeable, caring and helped me so much during my journey to recovery. I had two surgeries for my displaced, fractured clavicle and would not have believed in the beginning that I am one day back to 100% range of motion. I also worked with Anthony Lambright who was so so helpful and attentive. Both Alex and Anthony provided me with the best care possible and answered all my questions - and put up with my endless whining. ;-) Thank you for everything!
My OB referred me here for pelvic pain and instability at 24 weeks. I thought I would be hobbling around for the rest of the pregnancy. After just two weeks of therapy, the pain was almost completely gone! Suzanne keeps my hips aligned and makes sure I have safe strengthening exercises as the pregnancy progresses.
I came here for neck and shoulder problems. My PT, Nicholas ING got me mobilized and pain free in less than 6 weeks. Great place, great people, professional and friendly. Hopefully I won't need any PT again, but if I do, I'll be at Benchmark.
I saw Nick Ing for about 2 months for back and hip problems, within the first couple weeks I was noticing amazing changes. Everyone there was super knowledgeable and I felt they really had my needs in mind. I saw Suzanne for womena health and she taught me a lot. Both really helped me and I left with a ton of knowledge for the future!
Absolutely excellent experience from beginning to end. Lovely location, friendly staff, I could go on and on. Amanda at the front desk went above and beyond to get me the paperwork I needed to file to get reimbursed. I'd recommend BenchMark without hesitation.
Nicholas (Nick) Ing was a great PT to work with! I saw Nick for help returning to strength training after my second pregnancy. He was recommended to me by another PT professional and I had a great experience. He was professional but also very personable. Nick was really supportive and also willing to challenge me when needed. Scheduling and overall experience with the front office staff was great. I highly recommend Nick and will be back if I ever need more PT!
I could not be any happier with the quality of care I have received here. I was referred here by my OB/GYN for pelvic pain, and I have had the pleasure of working with Suzanne. I have been here a total of 2 times, and I feel amazing. Suzanne has helped me find and fix the cause of my pelvic pain within only one visit, and has also helped with hip and back pain that I didn t even know I had until it was gone. I highly recommend this facility.
I ve been to a number of physical therapists in my time, but no one has helped improve my strength as much as Alex Henningsen at Benchmark. Not only does my knee feel better, my whole self feels better. Thanks, Alex! If I need help in the future, I know who to call.
Many thanks to my PT Alex Henningsen and assistant Anthony Lambright for the intelligent and professional care they gave me for a chonic back issue. They are both sincere, kind, and caring people. They worked relentlessly to find exercises that would help my issue. While PT was hard work, they made it an enjoyable experience! I was sad to say good-bye when my PT was finished! I definitely will return to BenchMark Physical Therapy on Burnside if I need PT again in the future.
