JACK ANDERSON - Doctor of Physical Therapy
PT, DPT

Jack received his Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from Regis University in 2021. Before earning his Doctorate, he majored in Kinesiology at Oregon State University, where he also was a member of the National Championship baseball team in 2018 as a starting outfielder. 

While at Oregon State, he was recognized for his accomplishments on and off the field, as he earned All-PAC-12 outfielder and the Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2018 for the entire conference. Before his time at Oregon State, he was a 3-sport athlete in football, baseball, and basketball at local Lake Oswego High school, earning All-State honors in football and baseball. 

Jack believes effective physical therapy interventions start with a patient-centered environment where respect, trust, honesty, and effective communication are paramount to the healing process. 

Jack’s practice as a physical therapist is developed from evidence-informed care, clinical expertise, and the values and circumstances of the patient sitting in front of him. He will use these three main pillars to create a customized plan of care based on the patients’ needs. 

Jack believes in the ethos of Headquarters Physical Therapy. He doesn’t just want his patients to simply reach their goals, but he wants them to enjoy the company they keep on the journey forward. When Jack isn’t working at HQ, you will probably see him inside the baseball cages as a hitting instructor for The Yard.
