I started going to Evolve with not much hope of my shoulder getting back to normal. I had an injury that was months old and still causing me severe pain. I saw Matt Weissbach and he helped me get my shoulder back to normal! Matt really listens to what's going on and takes the time to help heal you in a personalized way. The whole staff is super friendly and they are very accommodating in the times of day that you can make an appointment. I highly recommend Evolve Physical Therapy!

Matt at Evolve Physical Therapy has been very helpful with my recovery for my recurring rib injury. Taking a holistic approach, we are working on the system (my back) and not just the symptoms (my ribs). Matt was willing to get me in right away early the next morning after I called. Far better than the 1 month wait I had last time with Providence. I am feeling quite better even though I have had to work on the deck at home. Matt also had recommendations for ergonomics of my desktop home work environment.

Matt Whittaker at Evolve Physical Therapy was highly recommenced by another member at my health club. 8 months after surgery to repair my rotator cuff, countless visits to another physical therapist had resulted in very limited recovery. After just a few sessions with Matt, my range of motion has greatly improved and my pain is gone.The facility is well laid out, open and extremely clean. The staff is professional, friendly and capable. Their attention to the safety of their patients is off the charts. Matt’s professional knowledge and capability is impressive, he knows his stuff! If I could give them 6 stars I would.

My experience with Evolve Physical Therapy has been great from the start. Everyone in this office is professional, personable and very knowledgeable about what they do. If you need PT it is a great place to go.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Evolve Physical Therapy! I have been a runner all my life - it’s my happy place - so when I experienced pain in both of my ankles that was so severe that I couldn't run anymore, I was extremely depressed and frustrated and had no idea what to do. A friend recommended Matt Whitaker at Evolve Physical Therapy; she told me he had “saved her life” when she was experiencing knee pain and I have to tell you, I was skeptical of physical therapy at first - but Matt saved me too!Matt and all of the staff at Evolve are very friendly and welcoming, the place is very clean and professionally run and everyone there truly cares about your wellness. Matt knew exactly what was wrong with me and what strength training and physical therapy exercises I needed to do to fix the tightness in my calves and lower back and improve my hip and core strength which together were contributing to the pain in my ankles. Matt explained everything in a way that was super easy to understand - not only what exercises to do but how different parts of my body are connected, how that impacts my running form and paces, and how and why the exercises help. He also gave me advice on how to improve my running technique!In just a matter of weeks, I went from not being able to run at all to now I’m running, hiking, and working out in some way nearly every day! I can honestly say I am now in the best shape of my life and I owe it to Matt. I would give him 100 stars if I could, he is seriously the BEST. I highly recommend Matt Whitaker and Evolve Physical Therapy, you will not be disappointed!

I saw Matt Weissbach at Evolve for two different injuries in 2019 and 2020. I fractured my foot for the second time in August of 2019. After several months, it was still not healing correctly (tbh it never really did the first time in 2014 either) and i had known Matt from a previous PT clinic before he opened his own in Sherwood. I called Evolve up and was able to get in to see him in a few days. No it’s not a quick fix. Healing takes time. But over the next couple of months I gained my strength back in my foot, leg and whole body. He showed me how a small injury even just a foot affects your entire body, the other side that wasn’t injured and even mentally. Then when my work sent everyone to work at home in March, I was not prepared ergonomically and my back suffered tremendously. I was having the worst back spasms sometimes I could hardly stand it, laying in the fetal position. I did a few video appts with Matt and he helped me work on my overall strength and mobility. When we’re allowed to go back into the clinic with masks, we went right to work. I am now in the best shape of my life. Matt has made me realize that Physical therapy is not just something you do when injured or a temporary fix, it’s something you work at everyday. It’s mindfulness, it’s body awareness, it’s finding the exercises and process that works for you as an individual. Matt is not only a great physical therapist, but just an overall kind person who genuinely cares for you and your well being. I highly recommend Evolve and all of his staff are welcoming and great to work with.

I am an avid tennis player and over the last year, injured my right rotator cuff muscles (twisting on serves). Since I am a right handed player it was getting difficult on serving which I modified to offset the pain. I went to see Matt W. at Evolve PT in Sherwood and over 2 weeks (2 times/week) I have reduced the pain completely with the exercises prescribed. I would highly recommend anyone with muscular joint pain to visit. I was skeptical as my previous PT sessions at another facility did not help but actually made it worse. I cannot believe I waited so long as I could have been pain free months ago. My wife suggested I go as she had both hips replaced and the PT did help reduce her discomfort as well. I am playing tennis twice per week (1.5 hours at a session) pain free. Give them a try you will NOT be disappointed.

To whom it may concern:I was referred to Evolve Physical Therapy. I am one of those active seniors, that sometimes push myself a little to hard working out. I met Matt and he actually listened to my concerns. Matt knew immediately how to remedy my posture and lower back issues, as well as helping me protect my knee replacements. Evolve is a state of the art organization, that takes their work seriously as well as enjoying what they do.I highly recommend them .Tom Abalan

Let me start out by saying in my past I have hated physical therapy with a fiery passion. I’m a trauma survivor who has PTSD and PT has always triggered me. I’ve have had several pretty difficult injuries in my life and also have had to go to physical therapy after surgery. The injury that brought me to Evolve was an ankle sprain. Both of my parents went to Evolve and recommend them to me. I was dreading it with all my heart, and also understanding that I had to go to get better. The first thing I learned about Evolve is that they are incredibly interested in helping you recover from your injuries. I’ve worked with two physical therapist there and they both were spectacular.Matt W. Helped me work on my sprain and when I was not not healing well and my hands started hurting, he urged me to see my GP which led to finding out I had Rheumatoid Arthritis. I got my RA under control and was able to get my ankle back to a healthy state. His keen eye and willingness to listen helped me so much and helped me trust myself more.I am currently working with Melisa on my chronic shoulder and back pain. She has been incredibly helpful in helping me deal with and find ways to move with out setting off my fight or flight response and slowly but surely I’m getting better. She so clearly understands that being human is much more then just moving parts.Another awesome person at Evolve is Brittany she The patient coordinator. Sh is one of the most on point office managers I have ever seen . She goes the extra mile even when she does not have to. She deserves a shout out because she works so hard and makes dealing with insurance way easier and less triggering. She is also incredibly easy to communicate with and is always very kind.I see an incredible team working together to provide some of the BEST PT possible. The other thing I am absolutely interested in is how easy their staff makes Trauma Informed Care implementation look. It’s clearly woven into everything they do. Even if they don’t have it plastered all over their walls it’s clearly part of their practice. If anyone I know ever needs PT I will strongly recommend Evolve they are at the top of the PT world. This place has changed my life in so many ways. Thank goodness for Evolve!!!

I chose Evolve primarily because of location. I had also heard very positive reports from acquaintances.I was able to schedule my appointments in a timely fashion which I was important to me. The owner also worked with me to develop a self payment plan.Matt has been informative and encouraging. He has offered different treatment options to facilitate “getting back to normal”.I feel that I am in very capable hands and that my recovery is as important to Matt as it is to me!

I met with Matt Weissbach to work through some persistent knee pain that was not decreasing despite exercise and weight loss. After his assessment of my strength and flexibility, he gave me some exercises and stretches that have eliminated the pain. Definitely recommend.

Matt gave me a complimentary running analysis. He was super knowledgable and helped me understand how to alleviate hip and knee pain, while also increasing running speed. These guys are the real deal. I've been to a lot of PTs before and they are excellent.

This was my first experience in physical therapy, and I am so grateful I found Melisa at Evolve. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and so incredibly knowledgeable. I had a pretty bad concussion and neck strain from an ice skating fall, and Melisa listened to me, kept me focused on my goals, and helped guide me through my recovery over the span of several months. I am now almost back to my regular self, and she is helping me get back to my running goals. I’m starting to train for my next race (a feat I thought was impossible 3 months ago).I would highly recommend Evolve Physical Therapy!

I initially started seeing Melisa for a running injury to my foot. Through the course of several visits, we determined that much of what I was struggling with was nerve pain and that the source of the pain was actually a larger issue than just the running injury. My sessions with Melisa, and the at home exercises she has given me, have helped me to build strength and flexibility in a very targeted way. My nerve pain is improving and I am back to running! I am continuing to work with Melisa for further improvement and targeted development of my running form so that I can continue to do what I love without pain!

I had tears in both of my rotator cuffs. Evolve PT was amazing. In the beginning I couldn’t reach for anything without pain. Now both of my shoulders are healthy and I am back to regular activities. They were super flexible with my schedule, which made coming to physical therapy easy!

I saw Matt on an emergency basis for vestibular therapy for BPPV. Evolve was able to get me an appointment less than an hour after calling whereas the soonest I could get an appointment through my healthcare system was 2 days later. Anyone who’s ever had a BPPV episode knows that there’s no possible way to endure it for 2 days. I was so grateful Evolve was able to get me in so quickly and even more grateful that I didn’t have to explain what BPPV is to the scheduler. She knew what it is and that I had to be seen quickly. I was more than happy to pay out of pocket for the high quality care and expertise I got from Matt. I’m someone who actually wants to know all about the science of things and picked up on that quickly and obliged my curiosity. He is super skilled and very highly trained at vestibular therapy and I couldn’t feel more blessed that I found him within a 30 minute drive just through an internet search of last resort. Thanks to Matt and Evolve I can actually enjoy Thanksgiving with family!

Just had knee replacement surgery 10 days ago & Melisa Abesa has progressively helped me bend my knee & walk with my new joint. She has outlined exercises for me to help strengthen my knee. Everyone at Evolve is friendly & helpful. I can trust that I am in good hands and can focus on healing.Like

In the two weeks I’ve been getting therapy at Evolve, I must say I’m very impressed. The office is very professionally run & Matt is terrific at listening & evaluating. My problem is complex but he is sorting through everything very carefully & has an excellent knowledge base from which he operates. The place is neat, clean & easy to access.

I had a partially torn MCL, and was scheduled for physical therapy at Evolve. The location was great, Matt was friendly and extremely knowledgeable.. He always explained in a very understandable way what the goal was, and the process we would take.After each treatment I could see progress, and for something that started as an injury - it ended up as a very beneficial experience.

Incredibly smart therapists. I had the pleasure of working with Matt Weissbach, and throughout treatment he challenged me, encouraged me, carried on great conversation to keep my mind of the strain of some of the hard work, and taught me as much as he treated me. I highly recommend Evolve Physical Therapy!!!

I've been dealing with neck and shoulder issues for over 4 years, and have seen so many different physical therapists, and Matt at Evolve is one of the best to ever do it. He is so well-versed in treatments and techniques. Very knowledgeable. But most importantly, he makes therapy fun. Matt, and the entire staff, are so engaging and kind. I've had to cancel appointments last minute because of headaches that've come up, and they are always so understanding. They truly just want what is best for the patient. You can feel the care and concern every time you walk into their office.

Fabulous! This made all the difference. I got rid of dizziness, shoulder pain, leg pain, regained strength, am able to move and do normal activities, and so much more. After major surgery, chemotherapy, and life I was weak, had dizziness, and was just a big mess. I can't thank Matt Whitaker and Evolve enough.

I would give Evolve Physical Therapy and Matt Weissbach 10 stars if I could. He is truly the best. I have had several occasions to use Matt over years for my physical therapy needs. He was so thoughtful and thorough in assessing what my problem was and what was needed to correct the issues. He is very professional and his knowledge of the best treatment options is incredible. His staff is extremely helpful with setting up appointments. Matt has a very practical approach to the treatment process. What was most impressive was his attention to outlining the details of the home exercise program he felt was necessary. He made sure I had all the information to do the exercises at home. He was very good at giving me feed back on how I was progressing. He has such great feel for knowing when to push forward harder and when to back off of the rehab process. I am in the medical field myself. I can honestly say that there is not a better physical therapist that I have ever dealt with then Matt. I highly recommend him without reservation.

Matt Whitaker is my back, pain problem solver! I’ve gone to Matt two different times a couple years apart for severe back issues - pain that was moving all over and even impairing my ability to walk! It was horrible... I started out with my orthopedic surgeon giving me the option of trying PT (physical therapy) or looking at some more drastic measures... I’m not a fan of surgery, or pills, and running is a key part of my life so off to PT I went... Matt was recommended by my orthopedic surgeon and I understand why! Matt is always focused on the source of the pain, not only in my body but how it developed. He addresses the issues systematiclly and ensures my understanding as we go. Matt focuses on progress at the clinic and ensuring it is maintainable once I leave. We’ve had many conversations to figure out behavior, to posture, that lends to my issue and how to change.Couple things about the clinic: it’s super clean, bathrooms are big and stocked with all sorts of items to help you get back in order after PT. They have a large open floor with machines, etc., but my favorite aspects of the clinic are - Private rooms! Yes, a little privacy when you’re talking and they’re working on you! I’ve been to some clinics where the receptionist, waiting room and physical therapist are working with their patients all in the same space (so awkward and embarrassing). Evolve has an online tool that tracks all the exercises, personal comments for you and includes videos so you know exactly how to perform stretches and exercises!Evolve Physical Therapy is top notch. I live in West Sylvan and it’s well worth the drive to Sherwood. I recommend Evolve Physical Therapy anyone who needs a PT!Thank you Matt for keeping me on the trail! 🙂 You’re the best!!

I can't say enough great things about Evolve Physical therapy therapists and staff!! I was referred to Evolve by my physician who recommended Matt and Matt because of their expertise in dealing with neck/cervical spine physical therapy.I was extremely impressed with the knowledge and expert care I received at Evolve! I have recommended both Matt's to many of my friends to address a variety of pain, postural strength training and post surgery physical therapy needs. Matt W. provide me physical therapy exercises that were constantly tailored and customized to meet my therapy goals and work within my life/schedule.They use an app/online program through your email that links to videos of your specific workout that is updated after every appt based on your progress and feedback. The online individualized videos provide great visual cues and reminders on your homework and is super easy to follow and use.Evolve worked hard to not just address my active pain symptoms and building strength to correct those but took it to the next level of looking holistically at all aspects of my daily life to find all components that we needed to address in order to prevent future re-occurrences.Matt W. helped me to really analyze my home and work environments for contributing factors and then problem solved realistic solutions. Evolve PT is not a place that wants you to keep coming back to spend your money, they work hard to truly get you better and out of there!Thanks guys!!

I sustained 2 compression fractures in an accident 3 years ago and had lower back pain since then. I had extensive physical therapy from other clinics with little improvement. I had pretty much decided to live with it. Routine visit with a cardiologist recommended physical therapy as a strength building strategy. I made an appt with Evolve. I have been very happy with their approach of helping me heal myself. I now have the tools to use exercises and stretches to keep myself pain free and flexible.

Oct 15 2019This post is long overdue. Last November 14, 2018–I was trying to hang a plant in our stairwell and I lost my balance and fell 4 feet on the wood stairs. I ended up with eight breaks in my ribs. Three ribs-had two breaks each. I also had three breaks in my right scapula.The healing was long and painful. In January the doctor at OHSU said I needed to go to physical therapy. I got online and started looking at clinics close to our hm in Newberg. I’ve had physical therapy 3-4 times before. I wanted to find a physical therapist that could really help me since this was the second injury to the same shoulder.I chose Evolve because I liked what it said on the website about fit for life and getting fit in a natural way. I went to their facilities in Sherwood. I met Matt Whitaker and started getting treatments twice a week thru March.Not only was he wonderful to work with-but he looked at everything that affected me including the reason I fell. He looked at the whole picture instead of using “the bandaid effect” to get me healthy and strong again. The exercises he gave me —I still do a year later. I am currently swimming laps and I am up to 8 lbs with my arm free weights.I am not a gym rat or fanatical about working out.I am a 66 year old woman with a lot of life ahead of me. I want to enjoy it as pain free as possible. I feel that because of Matt’s diligence, knowledge, and care for my overall well being—I am in the amazing shape that I am now- not quite a year since my accident! I am more mobile and pain free with my shoulder than I was BEFORE my accident!Not a day goes by that I don’t think of proper posture- proper exercise-and just healthy living. Matt had so much to do with that. I will NEVER go to another physical therapist!!Do yourself a favor and go see the folks at Evolve. Everyone that I met there was wonderful— including the other therapists and the lovely young woman that checks you in. Stay healthy and fit— trust me— they can help!Respectfully and Prost,Linda C.

One month out from surgery on my shoulder, my physical therapy with a different therapist (at a different business) was failing me badly. Instead of making healing progress, my shoulder was retreating into a protective state. My doctor's office recommended finding a new therapist and, on the recommendation of a friend who had used Evolve, I quickly made the switch.I was set up with Melisa and almost immediately started seeing progress. She took the time to understand the entire history of my injury, as well as the problems and concerns arising from my previous therapy on the shoulder, then crafted a plan to gradually work me back to health. It was a long process to full recovery, but Melisa pushed me just hard enough without pushing so hard that I regressed. She gave me the tools to work on shoulder strength and stability outside of the Evolve offices, which aided in my recovery and led to a great outcome.I'm so thankful I made the switch to Evolve and I could not be more thankful for the help I received. Everyone in the office is friendly and they take the time to know their patients. I would highly recommend Evolve for anyone who is recovering from surgery or just needs a little help achieving their full movement potential.

We had a very positive experience at Evolve. My 6 yr old son had hip/feet pain. After several weeks of treatment at Evolve and home, my son's pain was gone. Matt W. was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. We lucked out and will certainly return if more treatment is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is physical therapy a good choice?
More than half of all Americans are suffering from pain. However, many do not even know that physical therapists are well equipped to not only treat pain but also its source.
Physical therapists are experts at treating movement and neuro-musculoskeletal disorders. Pain often accompanies a movement disorder, and physical therapists can help correct the disorder and relieve the pain.
What should I expect at my first physical therapy visit?
Other than filling out some paperwork (insurance information, HIPPA, medical history, etc.) your first appointment will be about evaluation and treatment plan options.
Your therapist will perform an objective evaluation and formulate a list of problems – and how to properly treat them.
How long does each visit last?
Physical therapy sessions typically last anywhere from 45-60 minutes.
What do physical therapists do?
Physical therapists help patients treat and manage their pain to achieve long-term benefits. They devise an individual plan for each patient to improve mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injury.
What insurances does Evolve Physical Therapy accept?
We contact your insurance provider on your behalf, verify your benefits and get all the details so you know exactly how much your treatment will cost. We encourage you to verify any insurance information.
We have a discounted, cash pay option available that many patients choose to utilize.
We are contracted with a growing number of insurance carriers. Remember that all plans are different and “in-network” and “out-of-network” benefits can be the same! If you don’t see your carrier listed here, call us and we will get the details of your plan.
