This led her to Oregon, where she was able to find herself in a position to help start a new program to embed a physical therapist in a primary care clinic. She has spent the last three years working alongside various primary care practitioners. This collaborative effort to best serve the patient was aimed to provide researched-based, preventative, psychologically-informed, and non-pharmacological care. She helped provide access to direct the patient to the best health care professional to meet their needs. A Primary Care Physical Therapist truly sees it all, requiring knowledge in a variety of presentations/conditions such as acute/chronic orthopedics and neurological/vestibular conditions within a wide age range.
Paige is beyond ecstatic to share her knowledge to the Philomath Community, where she lives, to aid in empowering a person’s ability to improve their life experience. She is currently studying with Physiological Oncology Rehabilitation Institute (PORi) to become an oncology specialist to best serve the needs of our community.

Outside of work, Paige spends time enjoying the outdoors with her husband, Rory, their friends/family, and their dogs Scooby and Harlow. Whether she is traveling to a new country, fishing on the Alsea, mountain biking in McDonald Forest, or hiking up Mary’s Peak, you can catch Paige exploring and enjoying this dynamic world we live in.
