Meet Our Team

Hampton Physiotherapy is Portland's musician-focused physical therapy clinic, led by Dr. Hope Hampton and Dr. Jason Stanley. Board-certified orthopedic specialists offering one-on-one, hour-long sessions rooted in finding the cause of your pain.

We believe patients deserve more. More time. More attention. More answers. And if you're a musician, providers who truly get it.

Our Story

Hampton Physiotherapy was founded in 2022 by Dr. Hope Hampton, a violinist of over 25 years who watched fellow musicians get hurt and handed generic advice from providers who'd never held a bow or practiced four hours a day. That gap became the reason the clinic exists: a place where musicians feel genuinely understood, and where every patient — musician or not — gets careful, thorough, human care.

We've since grown to a small team, and what hasn't changed is the model: every patient gets a full hour with their provider, every time.

Meet Dr. Hope Hampton, DPT, CMPT, OCS

Hope's path toward a career in physical therapy grew directly out of her life as a musician. After years playing violin in string quartets and community orchestras, she saw firsthand how often musicians were overlooked and misunderstood within traditional healthcare — treated with generic protocols that didn't account for the physical demands of playing an instrument. That experience is what led her to build a rehabilitation approach designed specifically for musicians, by a musician. She now works with performers across all ages, abilities, instruments, and genres.

Hope founded Hampton Physiotherapy in 2022 as the sole owner and operator, but welcomes the growth of her team while still maintaining her commitment to quality care: every patient gets a full hour with their provider, every time.

Specialties & Certifications:

• Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Idaho State University

Beyond musicians' rehabilitation, Hope works with people experiencing orthopedic injuries, living with and surviving cancer, and those living with lymphedema. She believes a holistic approach — one that sees you as a whole person — leads to better outcomes and a more meaningful experience of care.

When Hope is not in the clinic, you'll find her trail running, hiking, biking, playing violin, or exploring Portland's restaurant & live music scenes. She also is expanding her musical interests by independently studying piano, guitar, and voice.

Meet Dr. Jason Stanley, DPT, OCS, COMT

Jason specializes in orthopedic physical therapy, with an emphasis on chronic and persistent pain, and he brings that expertise to the musicians and music industry professionals at Hampton Physiotherapy. Long hours with an instrument, repetitive movement, and the physical demands of performing and touring can turn into pain that lingers, and Jason works alongside each patient to address it, so they can get back to playing, performing, and working without it holding them back.

Jason is a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and a graduate of an orthopedic residency program, where he received advanced training in orthopedic and manual physical therapy. He brings that depth of training to every visit, combining skilled hands-on care with thoughtful, individualized treatment built around each patient's functional and creative goals.

Outside the clinic, Jason is a guitarist and songwriter, and he enjoys connecting with the musicians and music industry professionals we serve. He also enjoys weightlifting, hiking, surfing, reading broadly, and being a dad to two awesome little kids.

Our Approach

We don't believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all treatment plans. We take time at the start of our work together to understand not just where you hurt, but why — using detailed biomechanical assessment to find the root cause of your symptoms rather than chasing pain from appointment to appointment.

Your care plan is built around your real life. That means your schedule, your finances, your family demands, your mental health, your other medical conditions, and your goals — whether that's getting back on stage, returning to running, recovering from surgery, or simply being able to pick up your kid without wincing.

We use a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, pain neuroscience education, activity modification, and other evidence-based techniques. We'll also collaborate with your other providers and advocate for you when needed.
