Staszak PT & Wellness Center — two Eugene locations, six Doctor of Physical Therapy providers, and sixteen years returning patients to the trails, courts, clinics, and everyday routines that matter most.
488 E 11th Ave · Eugene, OR
Founded in Eugene in 2010, the clinic has grown to six Doctor of Physical Therapy providers — each bringing specialized expertise to a different corner of the musculoskeletal world. No rotating strangers, no one-size-fits-all programs. Just experienced, direct-access PT in your corner.
Orthopedic Clinical Specialist
Joe holds board certification as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist — one of the highest credentials in orthopedic PT. He brings a diagnostician's precision to complex musculoskeletal cases: post-surgical rehab, chronic joint pain, and return-to-sport progressions.
Physical Therapist
Tessa combines a movement-first philosophy with evidence-based manual techniques. Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or rebuilding strength after an illness, she builds treatment plans that explain themselves — and end with a clear goal in sight.
Most of the people who walk through our door are not career PT patients. They are runners who pushed too hard, desk workers whose back finally gave out, new parents with pelvic floor concerns, and people leaving the hospital wondering what comes next.
From acute flare-ups to chronic disc-related pain. Most patients feel meaningful improvement within three to five visits.
Forward-head posture, whiplash, and tech neck. Often linked to headaches and shoulder tension — we address the whole chain.
Runners, cyclists, Ducks athletes, weekend warriors. We design return-to-sport plans that respect your timeline, not a generic one.
Knee replacements, rotator cuff repairs, ACL reconstructions, spinal fusions. Structured, progression-based recovery from day one.
Incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, diastasis recti, and prenatal/postpartum concerns. Treated with care and clinical precision.
Dizziness, BPPV, and balance disorders. Specialized vestibular rehab with targeted repositioning and habituation techniques.
Frozen shoulder, tendinopathy, bursitis, impingement. Common in desk workers, overhead athletes, and post-surgical patients alike.
IT band syndrome, patellofemoral pain, hip labral issues, and osteoarthritis. We identify the source — not just the symptom.
Post-cancer and primary lymphedema management. Complete decongestive therapy, compression education, and long-term home programs.
We document thoroughly, coordinate with your employer, adjuster, or attorney, and build a recovery plan around your return-to-work goals.
Fatigue, deconditioning, lymphedema, neuropathy, and range-of-motion restrictions after cancer treatment. Gentle, evidence-based recovery.
Age-appropriate treatment for growing bodies — developmental delays, sports injuries, postural concerns, and growth-related pain in children and teens.
Every patient gets a real exam, real listening, and a program that explains itself. The tools below are not a menu — they are the kit we draw from once we understand what is actually going on with your body.
Joint mobilization, soft-tissue work, myofascial release, and targeted hands-on techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and prepare tissue for therapeutic exercise.
Progressive, individually designed exercise programs — not generic handouts. Each movement is chosen and coached for your specific deficits, goals, and tolerance.
Stott Pilates and CoreAlign-based programming for core stabilization, postural correction, and movement quality. Particularly effective for chronic low back and pelvic floor cases.
Ten-plus licensed massage therapists on staff — available standalone or as a coordinated complement to your PT program. Therapeutic, deep tissue, and lymphatic-drainage techniques.
Targeted repositioning maneuvers (Epley, Semont), gaze stabilization, and balance training for BPPV, concussion, and chronic dizziness.
Internal and external assessment and treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction. Delivered in a private setting with full informed consent and a collaborative, patient-paced approach.
Short, specific exercises you will actually do between sessions. We would rather give you four well-chosen moves than fourteen you will skip — and we will explain the why behind each one.
"Physical therapy is not a passive process. We give you the tools — your effort makes the difference."

No mystery. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens, in order, when you come in for the first time.
Download the new-patient packet ahead of time or fill it out on arrival. Bring your insurance card, photo ID, and any relevant imaging (X-ray, MRI reports) if you have them.
Your PT sits down with you — unhurried. We listen first. What hurts, when it started, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to get back to doing.
Orthopedic and movement testing — range of motion, strength, balance, and special tests relevant to your complaint. If imaging is needed and you do not have it, we will advise you.
You will leave knowing what is wrong (in plain language), how we will treat it, how many visits to expect, and what success looks like. No vague "come back three times a week indefinitely."
Most new patients begin treatment on the first visit. If more information is needed before we start, we will tell you — and schedule accordingly, no charge for the visit.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so there are no surprises on visit two. If you are paying out of pocket, we publish flat rates and do not require pre-paid packages.
Oregon law allows patients to see a PT directly for most insurances without a physician referral. We will advise you on whether your specific plan requires one before you come in.
Flat visit fees, no bundled packages, no prepay requirements. We will give you an honest estimate after your initial evaluation. Payment plans available for established patients.

The whole team at Staszak PT is wonderful. My therapist listened to every concern, explained exactly what was happening, and had me back on the trail in less time than I expected. I cannot say enough good things.
I had been dealing with chronic back pain for two years before coming here. Within six visits I had more relief than I had gotten from anything else. The team is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your recovery.
After my knee replacement, I was nervous about rehab. My PT at Staszak mapped out every step, pushed me appropriately, and celebrated every milestone. I am now walking hills I had written off.
The pelvic floor PT I received here changed my life. My provider was professional, compassionate, and incredibly skilled. I wish I had come sooner. This is exactly the kind of care Eugene needs.
If your question is not here, just call — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.
No. Oregon is a direct-access state. You can call us directly, and we can evaluate and begin treatment without a physician referral for most insurances. A few plans do require authorization — we will check yours before your first visit and let you know in advance.
Most patients notice meaningful improvement within three to five visits. Chronic or post-surgical cases take longer — we will give you an honest, individualized timeline after your first evaluation, not a generic twelve-week package.
Physical therapists focus on restoring movement, strength, and function through exercise, manual therapy, and education. The goal is to give you tools that work long after your last appointment. Chiropractic care focuses primarily on spinal manipulation. There is overlap, and some patients benefit from both — we will tell you honestly if a referral elsewhere makes sense for your case.
Yes. We offer clinical Pilates on Stott and CoreAlign equipment — both one-on-one within a PT plan and small-group wellness classes. Ask about availability when you call.
It depends on your plan. Some insurances cover massage when it is part of an active PT treatment plan; standalone massage sessions are typically self-pay. We will clarify this before your first visit.
It depends on what is wrong and how long it has been wrong. We do not sell prepaid care plans. After your evaluation we will recommend a realistic plan with a clear endpoint — and revisit it together as you progress.
Our main clinic is at 488 E 11th Ave, Suite 150A. Our second location is at 1835 Pearl St. Both are on the south side of Eugene. Choose whichever is more convenient — the same clinical standards and team culture apply at both.
Fill in a few details and we will call you back the same business day to confirm a time. If your situation is urgent, please call us directly.
