Recovering from an injury isn’t just about healing, it's about rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence in a way that sets you up for long-term success. One of the most effective ways to stay focused and motivated during rehabilitation is by setting SMART goals. At Tualatin Valley Physical Therapy, we help our patients use this powerful method to take ownership of their recovery and achieve meaningful, lasting results

In a world of quick fixes and instant gratification, it’s easy to feel frustrated when recovery doesn’t happen overnight. But when it comes to physical therapy, patience isn’t just a virtue, it’s a crucial part of the process. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, healing a chronic injury, or working through everyday aches and pains, the road to recovery is rarely linear. There are good days and bad days, breakthroughs and setbacks. But the key to lasting results? Consistency and patience.
