Dr. Shelly Coffman
Shelly founded PT 360° on the belief that every patient deserves to get their quality of life back, not just a list of exercises. She earned her Master's in Physical Therapy from the Emory University Allied Health Program and her Bachelor's from UC Berkeley through an athletic training apprenticeship, then went on to complete a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and a Doctorate of Manual Therapy through the Ola Grimsby Institute, plus a post-professional DPT through Evidence In Motion. She is a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist through the APTA and holds full Fellowship status with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT), one of only six Fellows treating in Portland and a credential held by fewer than 2% of all licensed physical therapists nationwide. Shelly teaches at the graduate and undergraduate level, has rehabbed athletes and performers up to the Olympic level, authored textbook chapters and peer-reviewed articles, and regularly gives talks in the community.
What guides the work.
Shelly holds herself and her team to the same rigorous standard that earned her Fellowship status: care that is evidence-based, hands-on, and never generic. She believes advancing the field matters as much as treating the patient in front of her, which is why she teaches upcoming therapists at the graduate and undergraduate level and continues to publish and speak long after most clinicians stop learning. Every patient at PT 360° benefits from that same commitment to getting better, not just getting by.
Life beyond the treatment table.
Outside the clinic, Shelly makes the most of time with family and friends, whether that is close to home or on an international trip. She loves to travel, both abroad and around the Pacific Northwest, and spends as much time as she can outdoors with her daughter: paddleboarding, kayaking, and snowshoeing together whenever the season allows.
