Finish Strong Physical Therapy & Performance

As parents of two high-school lacrosse athletes, we would be lost without Matt and Dan. They have been invaluable over the last six years. Most recently, our daughter had to have ACL reconstructive surgery. Dan was instrumental in her recovery and rehab. He spent two hours of dedicated one on one time with her every week, and she recovered with strength and confidence on the lacrosse field. Dan was incredibly knowledgeable of this process and supportive of her every step of the way. He understands injuries and tailored his plan based on her needs, her progress & her journey. She has had a full return to sport and does not think about her injury. We are so grateful to have Finish Strong in our lives. Thank you !

I came to Finish Strong 12 weeks out from an elbow fracture. After the injury, I was in a full cast, leaving my arm stuck close to 90 degrees. To regain my range of motion, I was sent to an OT where I spent 6 weeks making almost no progress. 12 weeks out, feeling super frustrated (especially with a young baby at home who I could barely hold), I switched to Finish Strong and immediately knew I was going to receive better care. I could tell Dan was invested in my progress. He was knowledgeable, actually listened, and was eager to help. He utilized our sessions to the max and gave me an intentional plan to incorporate at home (even helped point out simple adjustments to daily tasks that would help). I started to see change in the first week, which was a huge relief! After 6 weeks, my range of motion was just about back to normal and I was back to all activities I used to do without pain. I'm SO glad I made the switch. Overall, my experience was professional and personal and I highly recommend going to Finish Strong! Thanks Dan!!

I can never say enough good things about Dan Frey. Not only did he diagnose my problem, but he personally reached out to the proper doctors to get me on the path for a successful surgery and outcome. He is the best!!

Finish Strong PT, and therapist Dan Frey have helped me reach numerous goals - whether it is returning to normal activity after knee surgery, preparing my legs for a backcountry ski trip in the Alps, or by providing coaching that keeps me running regularly. Dan listens closely to his clients and works hard to develop a fitness program that helps to enhance your daily life as well as your athletic performance.

After a big half marathon PR, I thought I might be capable of running even faster and I hired Dan as a run coach. He gave me a detailed plan, complete with scheduled lifts and more difficult run workouts than I usually would have made myself run, and then was encouraging and willing to make adjustments when I inevitably struggled with some of the harder runs. After completing the plan, I had another half marathon PR by almost 3 minutes, and I'm considering a 5k to put all that speed training to good use! Thanks, Dan - I'll definitely be in touch next time I have another big goal.

Dan was personable and professional, pleasant to work with, and extremely attentive, thorough and helpful in diagnosing the root cause of my issues and providing recommendations for treating. I highly recommend utilizing Finish Strong for your PT needs!

I’ve been in and out of different physical therapy spots for the last 6 years and Finish Strong stands well above any others including other popular names around Portland. Dan helped me avoid a major hip surgery and got me working my labor intensive job without daily aches and pains, and even got me running again. It’s up to me to keep up with the PT exercises but Dan kept it realistic and was always available for questions or concerns along the way. He understands the body is not simple, and is open to getting into the weeds. Finish Strong is a tool that will be in my tool box for a very long time.

Had an injury after a marathon. After forgoing running for a month I was still struggling with my right leg collapsing. I had 2 appointments with Dan. He gave me strengthening exercises and a warm up to do. When I committed to the routine Dan provided I saw very quick improvement! I’ve had other injuries before and have never gotten such great results so fast! Would recommend Finish Strong to anyone who is struggling to rehab an injury.
