Our story
Bayfield Physical Therapy has served the Pine River Valley since the 1990s, when it opened in the little house on West North Street with a hand-painted sign out front. Owners Kendall Gill and Jeremy Brown carried that tradition forward with a simple promise: every patient gets a licensed physical therapist, one-on-one, for the entire visit.
In 2026, Pine River Physical Therapy — Bayfield's other clinic, founded by Paula Mooney — joined Bayfield PT. Both practices now operate as one team at 480 Wolverine Dr, Suite 5. For patients, that means more therapists, more appointment times, and a single clinic serving everyone from Ignacio to Vallecito without the drive to Durango. Read more about the merger.
How we practice
- One-on-one care. Your therapist is with you for the whole visit — no aides, no double-booking.
- Same therapist every time. Continuity gets better results.
- Evidence-based treatment. Hands-on care plus the right exercise, not a menu of modalities.
- Honest timelines. We tell you what to expect and discharge you when you're ready — not a visit later.
- Part of the community. We treat our neighbors, sponsor local teams, and work with Bayfield and Ignacio school athletics.
