Expert Sciatica Physical Therapy & Manual Therapy in Bend, OR
Tired of back pain, sciatica, or nagging injuries slowing you down? At Capacity Performance Physical Therapy in Bend, OR, we deliver 60+ minute, 1-on-1 sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — so you get real answers, lasting relief, and a clear path back to the active life you love.
Still Hurting After Months of Generic PT?
You're Being Passed Around
Most PT clinics hand you off to aides or techs after the first visit. You get 15-minute check-ins, generic exercises, and no real answers — while your pain lingers and your patience runs out.
Sciatica, back pain, and chronic injuries don't resolve on their own — and cookie-cutter treatment plans only kick the problem down the road. Sound familiar?
Symptoms Keep Coming Back
Sciatica, low back pain, and nerve symptoms flare up again because the root cause was never truly addressed. Temporary relief isn't the same as a real solution — and you know the difference.
You're Losing the Activities You Love
Every week on the sidelines is a week away from running, skiing, hiking, or just moving without pain. Bend is too good a place to spend it watching from the couch.
At Capacity Performance Physical Therapy, every session is built around you — not a billing code. We identify and fix the root cause of your sciatica, back pain, or injury using skilled manual therapy, progressive movement training, and evidence-based exercise. No techs. No handoffs. Just one Doctor of PT, fully focused on your recovery and performance goals.

Proven manual therapy and sciatica treatment that targets the root cause, not just the symptoms
Custom-tailored programs updated every visit with pre/post testing so you can see your progress

Getting Back to Pain-Free in Bend: Our 3-Step Process
Step 1: Your Free Screening
We start with a no-pressure screening call to understand your pain, your goals, and whether Capacity is the right fit for you. We match you with the provider best suited to your specific needs — whether that's sciatica relief, manual therapy, sports rehab, or something more complex.
Step 2: Your 1-on-1 Assessment
Your first full session is a deep-dive evaluation with your Doctor of PT. We identify the root cause of your symptoms — not just where it hurts — using functional movement assessments, hands-on manual therapy, and advanced testing when appropriate.
Step 3: Your Custom Recovery Plan
You leave with a clear, personalized plan that evolves every visit based on pre/post testing and real results. We track your progress, adjust your program, and stay accountable to your goals — whether you're recovering from sciatica or training for your next race.
