Sellwood, Eastmoreland and Milwaukie
Why Sellwood and Milwaukie patients choose video.
Life on this stretch of the east bank moves at walking speed: antique shops on SE 13th, birding at Oaks Bottom, the casting pond in Westmoreland Park, a bike commute on the Springwater. Milwaukie adds the Orange Line, a riverfront park and a small-town main street. Neighbors range from Reed College faculty to retirees who have owned the same bungalow for decades. Bladder urgency, prolapse, menopause changes and low back pain from gardening are common reasons to book from here.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Oregon: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions

Yes. Prolapse care by video covers pressure management, breathing, strength and daily habits. An internal exam is not possible by video; if a hands-on assessment would change the plan, Dr. Shalem says so and helps coordinate local care.

Yes. Oregon allows physical therapy without a referral and with no visit limit. Visits are private pay with a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
