Patient's Testimonials

"I have seen Zane at Timberline Physical Therapy for two different conditions. I am an actively competing Strong Woman competitor. Without Zane I would have not been able to compete this year. He treated my knee and also showed me exercises to do at home that have kept my knee pain free for over a year. I have received top notch care and information at Timberline Physical Therapy."

"After a year of chronic shoulder pain and 3 months of intense neck pain, I was referred to Zane Smith at Timberline Physical Therapy. Before seeing Zane, I had 6 weeks of acupuncture, deep massage, and lots of Advil with no improvement. The chronic pain had zapped my energy and enthusiasm for activities that I had formerly enjoyed. Since my first physical therapy treatment in early May, all my pain is almost gone and I have joy in my life again. I thought I was resigned to living with pain. NO LONGER! Zane has created a culture of casual warmth in the clinic. His staff is truly caring and friendly. Zane has worked a miracle in my life. I will miss my visits to Timberline Physical Therapy."

"I would like to thank you and the fine staff that work with you at Timberline Physical Therapy for your excellence of care, professionalism, and the compassion you give to each individual client. I was injured in a fall at work in the summer of 2008, and was fortunate enough to be referred to you by my chiropractor.

When I first started therapy with you I was very fragile and in a lot of pain. You and your staff utilized treatments such as massage, electric stimulation, ultra sound, cold and heat packs, and small amounts of strengthening exercises which did not over tax my body. When I over did the exercises, as I started to feel better, you intervened and stepped back to the healing treatment, until my body became strong enough to handle more. You took into consideration my overall treatment plan and progress and worked at my body's pace. You also took it upon yourself to be my advocate with my insurance agency, and went to bat for me to get me extended care, which was very much needed. You succeeded in acquiring more treatments and went the extra mile on my behalf. You worked closely with my doctor in meeting treatment goals.

I cannot say enough good things about you and your staff. You were a huge part of my treatment plan, and I highly recommend you to anyone in need to physical therapy."

"The staff at Timberline is great. I love the positive cheerful atmosphere. They treated my shoulder for several months, pre and post surgery. They make recovery fun! I am actually going to miss going to see them."

Zane,
Timberline Physical Therapy has been pleasant and easy to work with, several methods of working and smoothing the shoulder and neck muscles relieved my tension headaches. I'm very thankful.

After my shoulder surgery I was told to seek Physical Therapy for recovery. I remember the kindness of Zane Smith at Timberline Physical Therapy, who allowed my son to work under him while he was studying to be a Physical Therapist himself. So I went to his office to meet him for the first time. Zane and his staff really cared about my recovery and wanted me to get back to my old life as a runner and weight trainer as soon as possible. They developed strengthening exercises that targeted the areas that were weakened after surgery. Today, 12 weeks after surgery, my strength is coming back, my muscles are showing the definition they once had and I'm running a half marathon in two weeks. Although I'm not 100% yet, I am confident if i continue on the exercise regiment they sent home with me I know I'll be there soon.
Thank you for being good at what you do!
Forever grateful,
J. Blackford

"I would highly recommend your services to any and all who might be in need. I was most highly impressed with all your staff and services dealing with my case the past few weeks."

C. E.

"As you know when I first came in, I was dubious as to whether or not physical therapy would help so long after surgery (six months). Well I've got to tell you I was blown away. What amazed me the most was the distinct decrease in symptoms after just one visit. I may have been dubious to start, but I am a believer now and I won't hesitate to tell anyone who is suffering from any sort of persistent pain to go see a physical therapist, you guys are miracle workers."

Dawn

"I would highly recommend this facility to anyone needing therapy. Each physical therapist was highly knowledgeable and explained each of the exercises that were given to me. This place is great! Very efficient and professional."

JP

"I am very impressed with Zane and the staff at Timberline Physical Therapy. I felt very confident with the care I received. They are professional and I will recommend Timberline to all my family and friends."

KN

"I really enjoyed coming in this past month. Very friendly staff and helpful treatment."

Evelina

"When I first came to Timberline I had been suffering from severe shoulder pain for nearly four years, at times making even the simple tasks like folding laundry difficult. After my third session I began noticing a decrease in pain and by the 10th session of ultra sounds, laser therapy, massage, and exercises I was virtually pain free. To anyone seeking a Physical Therapist - Look no further than Zane and his amazing staff."

Nicole

"I met Zane and his family a couple of years ago when they moved into our neighborhood. We waved from our cars and said "Hi" on the sidewalk until I found out he was a physical therapist. I had a worsening hip and leg pain that I did not know what to do about. In talking with Zane, he was very good to explain some of the possibilities for therapy and even some of the insurance "stuff" I might expect.

After a few short weeks, I noticed marked improvement. His office is easy to find and a pleasure to visit with a staff that is cheerful and knowledgeable. Under Zane's watchful eye, the therapists are interested in trying a variety of "moves" for each unique situation. It's been a few months since my therapy and I can barely remember how I dreaded stepping up a curb or pulling that leg into the car or tying to sleep on that side at night!

Thanks Timberline Physical Therapy - Zane and his Staff."

Leslie

"I arrived at Zane's office (Timberline Physical Therapy) with incredible back and leg pains. Zane worked closely with me for over three months, switching to different techniques as my situation improved, including equipment for back treatments that I had never seen before at another Physical Therapy clinic I had been to. Zane carefully monitored my progress, provided me with great explanations to all of my questions, and I experienced an overall steady improvement until being fully discharged this past week. Oh yeah! But I wouldn't leave out that the staff is very helpful and pleasant. The interior is clean, carpeted, and nicely laid out. And some of my favorite music was playing overhead in the main room which I enjoyed when exercising on the various machines."

Stewart

"My daughter is a runner and very active. Last April (during Track Season) she had an accident on a Trampoline – she landed on her head and gave herself whiplash. I took her to a massage therapist twice a week for a few months. The massage would decrease her headaches – but they always came back. I took her to see Zane at Timberline Physical Therapy and he had her "fixed" in 2 appointments. He used Cold Laser and Ultrasound treatments on her neck as well as manual traction. Her 4 month headache was gone and I have not heard one complaint since seeing Zane."

Dotty

"I want to thank you for all you have done for me and my shoulder. I fell and broke my ankle in 2007, and didn't realize I had hurt my shoulder too. When my shoulder pain became worse I went to my Dr. To my surprise I had injured my Rotator Cuff when I fell. I mentioned it didn't hurt right away and my Dr's said sometimes it can take time for the pain and problems to show up. My Dr. said Timberline was close to my home and he had heard they are good. Your staff is the best, they helped to make me feel comfortable and gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling, so I knew I was in the right place. When I called for an appointment I noticed your staff had wondrous comments about your success. This helped to give me confidence in coming to your office. Once in your office, I noticed the positive atmosphere, not only with your staff, but also your whole setting. While I was there I felt I was the most important person there. You are a very down to earth therapist that understands and has compassion for the fact that I could barely reach behind me and assured me that my problem could be resolved. Between the electrical treatments and exercises you had me do, I was able to get my mobility back in relatively short time! The assistants you have working with you are top notch. To my pleasant surprise, I regained my mobility with my arm quite soon after starting your treatments and exercise routines. Your office Staff is right; you are a wonderful therapist and person. I would recommend your practice to anyone. Kudos to you Zane and thank you again for taking such good care of me!"

Dee

"I was referred to Zane Smith, owner of Timberline Physical Therapy by a close friend. Zane has treated me for the past 1.5 years for back pain and knee surgery recovery (twice).

His superior skills, knowledge and techniques combined with a caring and professional manner and enhanced by his support staff has made a difficult transition easy.

I recommend him without reservation."

Barbara

"Thank you for your quality of care. Thank you for really listening and meeting my needs. Thank you for kindness. Even when you may not feel well you greet me with a smile! Your staff is kind and caring. May your new year bring lots of blessings."

Rita

"I feel very fortunate to be working with such an awesome PT guy. I see Zane Smith at Timberline Physical Therapy. He and his staff have been just what I need; not too much and not too little. He is the only Physical therapist I refer my clients to. He has always been a huge resource to me and my clients have only great things to say about him. Now that I'm a patient, I know why people love him. My best advice for anyone is my situation is to listen to your body and your healing professionals.

You guys Rock!"
