Testimonials
"As a professional athlete, the ability to perform injury-free and at my best has been critical to my success. I have always trusted Mandon with all my body maintenance needs."
Luke McKenzie
PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETE & 8X IRONMAN CHAMPION
“I am an Oregon-based rock and mountaineering guide. I began working with Hannah at MW Physical Therapy after a ski accident that resulted in ACL and meniscus tears. Hannah helped me rebuild my physical strength and mental confidence in my knee. She pushed me to be stronger every day, especially when climbing and skiing seemed uncertain.. Six months after knee surgery, I was guiding trips on Mt. Hood and I had just climbed the hardest grade of my career at Smith Rock. Thanks Hannah, you rock!”

“I’m 59 years old and have been a Mountain Athlete for over 40 years climbing and skiing around the world. After a Knee injury, my doctor recommended I see the Pro’s at Mandon Welch physical therapy.. I worked with Matt who was friendly, highly skilled and understood exactly what I needed. Now I’m back climbing, ski mountaineering and mountain biking. I could not be happier! Thank you Matt and MW PT!”

“Mandon and his team have helped me strengthen and prepare my body for the rigors of triathlon in ways I could never have imagined. They’ve also been instrumental in my recovery and rehab, allowing me to bounce back quicker and stronger from large training blocks, races, or injury.”

"I have a tendency and track record of beating myself up doing what I love. From blown knees, a kinked neck or a tweaked back, Mandon fixes me and gets me back up to speed doing my sport."
Austin Smith
PROFESSIONAL SNOWBOARDER & “WE DRINK WATER” FOUNDER
"Year after year I kept getting injured; a patella bone bruise, broken humurus, concussion, and I actually kept getting stronger with Mandon's help. Not only did I get full recovery with more strength after every injury, but I learned much more about preventative injury training that I'll be able to take with me the rest of my life."

“I was blessed to work with Matt Braga in my recovery from a total knee replacement in September 2023. His intense focus and personal concern are a model for the industry. His anatomical knowledge was paramount in targeting the precise therapy needed for healing and pain relief. I'll be doing my best to refer those who are ready for true healing to Matt Braga and Mandon Welch!”

“As a fellow athlete, Mandon had a clear and comprehensive understanding of my injury, as well as what I would need to do to resume my active lifestyle.”

"Four days after Total Knee Replacement surgery, I met Mandon, the physical therapist that my doctor had recommended. I was reassured and relieved by his demeanor and knew that I was in good hands."
Jerry Brockmeyer
PICKLEBALL EXTRAORDINAIRE
“At age 70 I had a full knee replacement on my right knee, and one year later a full replacement on my left knee. The surgeon referred me to Mandon for my post-surgery rehabilitation. To this day my legs are doing very well and I have been able to enjoy the game of golf. I owe this to Mandon.”

HUSBAND / FATHER / GRANDFATHER / GOLFER
“I first met Mandon Welch many years ago as a fellow competitor in triathlon. As an aging athlete with achilles tendonitis, I feared the injury would end my quest for competing at the Triathlon World Championships in Kona, HI. After putting my trust in Mandon and thanks to his care and expertise as well as his experience with treating other athletes, I made a full recovery and was able to toe the line in Kona in 2016. Since that time, Mandon has treated other injuries related to my active lifestyle. Each time, I have learned that if I follow his personalized plan, I will be back to competing post haste. He and his staff are absolutely the best.”
