Jodie Paschall-Majerus MPT
[email protected]
Jodie attended The University of Iowa for both her Exercise Science (BS ’89) and Physical Therapy degrees (MPT ’92). At the UI, she combined her love of competitive swimming and research in projects with both the Biomechanics and Physical Therapy Departments. After graduation, she spent part of her 17 years working in a small town hospital setting in Southern Oregon, gaining a variety of experience. In 2000, she became one of the first therapists in the area to complete advanced training in edema management and has actively treated swelling disorders and wounds since that time. More recently, she has expanded her practice to treatment of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and is in the process of becoming certified in the McKenzie Method. Jodie actively gives back to the profession through involvement in the APTA, both on a state and national level, on continuing education and legislative committees. Her personal interests include photography, cooking, and travel; the time that used to be dedicated to community theatre and master gardener training is now spent with her husband, children, chickens, and dogs.

Tara returns to her native Vancouver with degrees from both near (‘96 BS Zoology, UW, Dean’s List) and far (00’ PT, Duke University, Sports Medicine Internship). She had the opportunity to work extensively with track, water polo, and cross country athletes at Stanford University, which proved a rich 7 years of experience, both as a therapist and an avid runner herself. Having gained additional expertise with Olympic and professional athletes, Tara obtained the designation of Sports Certified Specialist from the American Physical Therapy Association, making her one of just 700 in the nation. Her ongoing professional interests include overuse injuries in running and throwing athletes, preventing injury in female athletes, and post operative knee and hip rehabilitation. She hopes to work closely with coaches and student athletes in our area, developing programs addressing injury prevention. Tara and her husband share an appreciation for good food and the outdoors, and are kept busy with their two small children, a pair of crafty dogs, running, soccer, and travel to the east coast.

Robby has had a diverse career as a Chieftain, a Penguin, and a Boxer (Columbia River HS, Clark College, and Pacific University Soccer, respectively). More impressive still, his ability in academics led to Dean’s List standing at Clark and graduating Cum Laude from Pacific with a B.S. in Exercise Science. He gained his Doctorate degree from University of Southern California, a program which has ranked number one in the nation since 2005. His year of clinical affiliations reflect his obvious love of Sports and Orthopedics, as well as his special appreciation for research, biomechanics, neurological disorders, and quality measures across all aspects of Physical Therapy treatment. Robby’s certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist has served him well in his soccer coaching endeavors, including stints at River, Ridgefield, Columbia Timbers Premier, and in the Clark College women’s program. Staff, as well as patients, find him a refreshing and motivating addition to the clinic. In his spare time, Robby enjoys snowboarding when he isn’t playing, coaching, or watching soccer.
