Worth knowing: Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy is one of the largest US private PT clinic chains and a feature most national PT-career surveys understate for OR. Therapeutic Associates (founded 1953 by Bill Olson in Portland, ~70 OR clinic sites + ~5 ID clinic sites + select WA/CA/UT sites, ~600+ employees, the largest PT clinic chain HQ'd in the Pacific Northwest) operates substantial private outpatient PT supporting senior orthopedic + sports + neuro PTs at $95-140K TC. Slocum Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Eugene (~30 orthopedic surgeons + ~50 PTs + therapists, founded 1937, official orthopedic provider for U of Oregon Athletics) anchors Eugene area sports medicine PT. OHSU rehabilitation services Portland operates academic rehab including PM&R residency training + neuro rehab + spinal cord rehab subspecialty. Pacific University DPT Hillsboro (founded 2003, one of three OR DPT-granting institutions alongside OHSU + Concordia) provides substantial OR PT pipeline. OR's 9.9% top bracket has limited impact on PT comp — most senior PT comp lands $90-130K so the bracket impact is moderate, but the OR/WA cross-border delta is meaningful at PT director + senior clinic operator levels (WA 0% income tax + estate tax exemption $2.193M much higher than OR $1M).
