Jared has new letters after his name: FAAOMPT! 👏

Big congratulations to Jared Hopkins on this incredible professional achievement!

Jared has been accepted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (FAAOMPT)—a distinction that represents the highest level of clinical sub-specialty training in orthopedics. Fewer than 2% of physical therapists earn this credential, making it an extraordinary accomplishment.

This recognition comes after completing a rigorous 2–3 year fellowship program, including over 1,200 hours of advanced training and more than 150 hours of one-on-one clinical mentoring. His dedication to mastering functional movement analysis, clinical reasoning, and hands-on treatment truly sets him apart.

Even more impressive—there are only about 40 FAAOMPT-recognized therapists in Oregon, and Jared is now 1 of only 2 in Salem.

We’re incredibly proud to have Jared on our team. His expertise in orthopaedic manual physical therapy—integrating advanced manual techniques, exercise, and patient education—translates directly into better outcomes and care for our patients every day.

Please join us in celebrating this outstanding milestone! 🎉

Congratulations, Jared Hopkins, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT!

🎁 Merry Christmas to the best group of patients we could have ever asked for! You truly brighten our lives and we are so thankful for each and every one of you.

We hope you had a great day celebrating with your friends and family!

With love and cheer, The PT Project team: Jon, Jared, Sarah and Chai! 🎄

Brenda comes to Salem each year to compete in the Ironman, and each time she comes and see’s us! 💕She’s had two bike fits done and a running analysis. Such an honor! If you’re a high performing athlete sometimes the smallest shift in your bike set up and/or your running form, can make a huge difference! The week of Oregon Ironman we did 12 bike fits in the clinic, but if you’re local, why wait? Give us a call to see how we can help you achieve peak performance!
