OPT Benefits
Free Injury Screens:
Sometimes, deciding whether to seek medical care is one of the most stressful aspects of an injury. We all let things go longer than we should because we don’t want to spend time and money on medical visits. Physical therapists at OPT/PNW Sports Institute help you streamline this process with free, 15-min injury screens. From nagging pains to recent injuries, we will help determine how urgent the issue is and what next steps will be best.
Call the clinic (253) 630-5808. Tell them you are a member of Raise the Bar and you'd like a free injury assessment. Please remember the goal of this assessment is to determine what you need to do next for diagnosis or treatment.

Reduced Rate Massages:
Persistent muscle pain can often be stopped - and prevented - with therapeutic massage. A massage is also a great addition to a taper or recovery week. For RTB athletes, we offer 60-minute massages for a discounted rate of $50.

Priority Scheduling
We understand that athletes cannot wait weeks to be seen. When you need ongoing treatment, we offer RTB athletes priority scheduling, ensuring that you do not lose precious weeks of training time lost in the uncertainties that come with injuries. Be sure and mention you are an RTB member when making an appointment.
