Therapeutic Associates
Therapeutic Associates has added two new therapists to the team, which means there are plenty of highly trained physical therapists on staff to help you recover from injury, enhance performance, and keep going with all the Sisters Country activities you love to do. Sarah Consiglio comes to Therapeutic Associates as a graduate of the OSUCascades Doctor of Physical Therapy program. She is passionate about providing innovative, research-based, patientcentered physical therapy interventions to empower people of all ages and abilities to achieve their rehab goals. Natalie Zadeh comes to the clinic after working with Bend Athletic Club. She has a particular interest in injured worker recovery, and working with equestrian injuries — not an uncommon phenomenon in Sisters Country. Therapeutic Associates offers a unique step-down program with Sisters Athletic Club, and access to the Sisters Athletic Club pool makes working through your program easy and effective. Therapeutic Associates is also committed to educating clients on how to stay active. They are staffed to see patients quickly — and get them back into action.

Somatré
We’re lucky to live in Sisters, where the air and water are so much cleaner than they are in many other places. Yet, we are still exposed to environmental toxins every day, from food packaging to household cleaners. And we breathe car exhaust — and sometimes are inundated with smoke. Erika Swinth of Somatré offers help in releasing the load of toxicity. She has four ionic foot baths that can help release toxicity, and offers Young Living Essential Oils. She notes that substituting essential oils for candles can eliminate impacts from candle fragrances. Essential oils can also offer emotional support, reducing anxiety and trauma responses. Inquire about air purifiers that can make your indoor environment safer and more healthy even when it’s not great outside. Erika is planning educational programs to help people in Sisters avoid toxicity by finding alternatives for cleaning products and avoiding chemical exposure. Toxicity can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, low energy, general malaise, and fuzzy thinking. Finding ways to avoid toxicity, and eliminate or minimize the effects of chemicals and toxins, is a key element in developing the healthy way of life we all prize in Sisters Country.

Whychus Health
When we find ourselves grappling with a condition that is difficult to diagnose — or are blown off when we seek help, told that there’s nothing wrong or that it’s “just anxiety” or “in our head” — it can be hard to know where to turn. Robyn Lopez, DNP, FNP-BC, has created that place with Whychus Health. With a deep background as an ER and trauma nurse, she went on to become a boardcertified family nurse practitioner. Her goal is to help people in Sisters optimize their health. She takes time to understand what is going on with her patients, listening without judging, and establishing a relationship of trust. Whychus Health uses evidence-based practice, so Robyn’s clinical decision making is always supported by current research and her top priority is safety. With that, she also believes in thinking outside the box and supports a holistic, integrative approach to medicine. Whychus Health can provide services including bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, anti-aging therapies, and wellness-promoting services like nutrition planning and prescription weight-loss aids. Robyn can also refer patients to her husband, Alex, a former Navy SEAL and firefighter who offers life-coaching services.
