Therapydia Pearl

Ramona spent her early childhood years on the island of Oahu. She reluctantly traded in the
sun for rain when she moved to the PNW, but has since really embraced the beautiful outdoor
scenery and has enjoyed living in the area. She received her B.A. in Business Administration
from Washington State University where she graduated with High Honors. Since graduating,
she has worked in business operations and developed a joy for streamlining processes. She is
very much a foodie and loves trying new cuisines in Portland’s expansive food scene with her
husband. Ramona loves being outdoors and views physical activity as a form of self care so you
can often find her on a nature walk with her pup Ella, who is her pride and joy..

Lindsay is an orthopedic-focused physical therapist who treats all musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions and enjoys working with patients of all ages and abilities. She is especially passionate about working with people who run, bike, and participate in recreational athletics; have persistent pain and/or autoimmune conditions; are pregnant or in the postpartum phase; and older adults seeking to reduce fall risk and optimize health.

Lindsay has completed continuing education targeting management of older adults, management of running-related injuries; and exercise for women during pregnancy and postpartum. Her clinical philosophy combines hands-on treatment with targeted exercise programing.

Lindsay is also a volunteer for the Kaleidoscope Fighting Lupus foundation where she provides education, recommendations, and resources to support group members as well as participates in the development and production of educational symposiums.

Steve, Therapydia Pearl’s Clinic Director, comes from the Bay Area in Northern California. He received his B.A. in Sports Science with a concentration in Sports Medicine at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California where he also obtained his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015. Steven immediately became involved in clinical education by quickly becoming a Certified Clinical Instructor, and teaching a multitude of students from across the nation. He completed a 3-year post doctorate program to become a certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist through the Manual Therapy Institute. As a result, Steven’s clinical approach is greatly supported by a “hands on” approach towards getting his patients better faster. He has most recently completed his certifications in Vestibular Rehabilitation, Athlete Movement Systems, and is further specializing in the treatment and diagnosis of endurance athletes. When he isn’t studying or treating patients, you can find Steven rock climbing with his wife Monica, or hiking with his dog, Luna. Steven also loves to snow shoe, snowboard, and play volleyball whenever he gets the chance.
