Northwest Rehabilitation Associates opens the RE_Building
Northwest Rehabilitation Associates has opened the RE_Building, a sports injury prevention and performance center in West Salem.
Northwest Rehabilitation Associates offers physical, occupational and speech therapy services. The RE_Building will host sports-specific physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, sports medicine, sports vision and healthy refreshments including protein smoothies, the clinic said in a release.
"The sports science equipment available in this building are collectively a state-of-the-art novelty that is not matched anywhere in the state or region," owner Mike Studer said. "We have dynamic force plates to assess landing biomechanics in jumping and cutting, a pressure-sensitive instrumented treadmill for sophisticated running analysis and an isokinetic dynamometer to assess power — the same technology used in NFL draft assessments."
The facility will host elite professional-level training equipment, including the reACT trainer, the 1080 Sprint and two Hydroworx underwater treadmills. These training devices are commonly used by professional sports teams in the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB, the clinic said.
The RE_Building is located at 1025 2nd St. NW in West Salem and will be open to the public for interactive experiences from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4, and Thursday, Sept. 5.
