Boones Landing Physical Therapy

Boones Landing Physical Therapy, LLC was established in 2018 and is owned by Rene'e and Jason James. The clinic name was inspired during one of the many returning commutes to Wilsonville from work in Salem, OR. Rene'e wanted a name that related historically to the town and soon realized that Wilsonville was first established as Boones Landing in 1846.

As long-standing residents of Wilsonville, Rene'e and Jason strive to have a positive impact on the health and wellness of Wilsonville and surrounding community by providing rehabilitation, pre-habilitation and patient-specific programming to keep patients active for life. By providing services in a one-on-one environment with a patient-centered approach, care is delivered with the goal of exceeding patient expectations.
