The wonderful staff at PACE on MLK in NE Portland got me back on my feet, literally! The staff's expansive knowledge, relevant PT techniques, and kind attitudes helped me fully recover from my Achilles tendon injury.
The therapy was difficult at times, challenging me and my body to improve and recover; but that is what I think makes this place great--not only was the treatment what I needed, but the spirit, support, and positivity of PACE, kept me motivated and looking forward to going to PT.
Anna Vaughn, the trained Physical Therapist that helped me, was reliably friendly and positive keeping me in goods spirits especially where I would have otherwise felt discouraged or frustrated. Her fantastic ability to recognize my specific needs and physical limits helped her to create a catered treatment plan for me. Thanks to Anna, Tyler (shadowing intern/great guy), and the rest of the friendly staff at PACE, I have gone from hobbling on crutches everyday to running miles whenever I get the chance.
With the support of PACE, I have become a much healthier, happier person. I am able get back to the things I love--running, surfing, skating, soccer, etc. I highly recommend PACE and even more specifically Physical Therapist Anna Vaughn! If you are considering PACE, stop deliberating and just go, they're the best!!
