2012 Health & Fitness-Best Physical Therapist Therapy & Sports Medicine

Mark Bengston,

Pinnacle Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine

It didn’t take long for Mark Bengston to make his mark. After only two years in business, Bengston and Pinnacle Physical Therapy at 1590 Polston Ave. in Post Falls was first voted Best Physical Therapy practice in 2010. Now enjoying his third consecutive win, Mark Bengston hopes it is evidence his team is meeting their goal of exceptional health care. With hours beginning early at 6:30 a.m. and ending late at 7 p.m., and another location at 3322 Grand Mill Lane in Coeur d’Alene, Pinnacle tries to get as many patients as possible out of pain.

“What a great way to know we are meeting the goal of helping as many in the community as possible live pain free! We feel it is an incredible honor and privilege to be voted Best Physical Therapy Practice again this year,” Bengston said.

Bengston believes in pushing clinical skills “to the limit” for maximum results. His team puts a premium on listening, so that patients can comfortably communicate their therapeutic needs for a more effective experience. Pinnacle doesn’t limit communications to the clinical setting; Bengston encourages staff to stay connected to the community by being actively involved in volunteer opportunities and providing educational services.

“We also enjoy strong relationships with physicians in the community so we can have a cohesive treatment approach to patient care,” said Bengston, who emphasized staff flexibility, assistance with insurance issues, and minimizing obstacles to patient care.
