About Us
At Rainier Physical Therapy, our philosophy is to treat the body as a whole – instead of just the injured part. Many of the conditions we treat result from a deficiency somewhere else in our musculoskeletal system. This can lead to compensation and injury (pain, weakness, swelling, etc.) at the tissue site, and addressing this injured site alone may not solve an issue in long run.
Our physical therapists in Cranberry Township, PA, provide research-driven treatment in a clean, modern facility. Our clinic’s relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff helps us better achieve our goal of assisting patients in reaching their functional goals.
Tom Namey - Owner
Physical therapist Tom Namey is the owner of Rainier Physical Therapy. He received his Master’s Degree from the University of Pittsburgh. While in graduate school he met his future wife, Christine, who is also a physical therapist. He moved shortly after graduating school to the Seattle, Washington, area, hence the name “Rainier Physical Therapy.”
The pull of Pittsburgh has brought his family back to the area in 2010, and he is excited to take his experience of treating patients on both sides of the United States and apply it to this new endeavor. Opening Rainier Physical Therapy in 2012, Tom finds that Cranberry Township is a great area that is growing in population and medical needs. Tom acts as an educator and trainer to help his patients understand and resolve their condition. And, on most days of the week, you can visit with the clinic dog Oso, who is more than happy to let you give him a pat on the head.
