We all know that staying active is one of the best ways to stay healthy. But between work, family, and the demands of daily life, it can be hard to make movement a priority. And even when we do find the time, whether it’s for a morning run, a weekend bike ride, or a round of golf, what happens if something goes wrong?
You need a team you can trust to keep you moving, no matter what your activity looks like.
At ROC, we know that healthy movement is essential to your overall wellbeing, physically and mentally. Being able to move well and pain-free while doing what you love is key to feeling like yourself. As Portland’s leading orthopedic and sports medicine practice, we’re committed to helping you recover faster, prevent injury, and get back to the activities that matter whatever they look like.
Care That Meets You Where You Are
No two athletes are the same. Some are training for a marathon. Others are juggling early-morning gym sessions with a full-time job and after-school pickups. Some are simply trying to stay mobile as they get older.
We get it. And we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care.
That’s why we start by listening. Really listening. We want to understand what movement looks like for you and what’s getting in the way. From there, we build a care plan that’s tailored to your lifestyle, goals, and timeline.
That could mean helping you recover after a tough season or managing chronic joint pain so you can keep hiking on weekends. It could also mean putting together a long-term plan to avoid surgery altogether. Whatever it is, we’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward.
Expertise You Can Count On
When you come to ROC, you’re not getting guesswork: you’re getting real expertise. Our team includes the Portland area’s top orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists. Many of them are athletes themselves, so they know firsthand how frustrating it can be to sit on the sidelines.
From tendonitis to labral tears, arthritis to overuse injuries, we diagnose and treat the full spectrum of orthopedic conditions using the full spectrum of the most advanced surgical and non-surgical techniques available. You’ll never feel rushed, and you’ll always have a say in your care.
We believe the best outcomes come from clear communication, mutual trust, and care that’s built around your life, not just your chart.
Helping You Stay in Motion
Recovery at ROC is never one-size-fits-all. We don’t just want to get you moving again: We want you to keep moving. To us, this means:
- Getting an accurate, evidence-based diagnosis
- Creating individualized care plans built around your real life and supporting your goals
- Collaborating seamlessly between specialists and specialties
It’s about more than symptom relief to us. We look at how you move, how your joints are functioning, and how your recovery fits into your day-to-day life.
So, whether you’re gearing up for race day, coming back after an injury, or trying to stay active through all stages of life, ROC is here to help you do it safely, confidently, and without unnecessary delays. Staying active isn’t just about the miles you log or the reps you count; it’s about being able to show up for the things and people you care about most. And ROC is here to make sure you never miss a mile.
ROC is a proud sponsor of the 2025 Portland Marathon. This post is part of our “Never Miss a Mile” campaign. To see all of our running tips, please visit our Portland Marathon page.
