Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery has announced the expansion of Pacific Crest Physical Therapy. After 11 weeks of construction, Rebound more than doubled the square footage of this office space to serve more patients and expand the service offering.

Rebound worked with R.H. Construction on this project located at 601 SE 117th Ave., Suite 210 in Vancouver. The project increased size from 3500 square feet to a new 7500 square foot state of the art facility. This new facility will have a total of eight physical therapists and one athletic trainer.

Rebound will continue to offer physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as athletic performance clinics, including throwing and jump programs running analysis, and bike fitting. Additionally, the larger capacity allowed space to build a turf area to analyze and treat golfers. Jeff Kraayeveld, Athletic Trainer, recently became a certified through the Titleist Performance Institute to work with golfers. Northwest Personal Training will continue holding “Run Fit 1” and “Run Fit 2” programs at the facility as well.
