Ridgepoint treatment room in Spokane

Ridgepoint Performance Medicine

Our Services

An integrated team of specialists — physician-led evaluation, rehabilitation, manual therapy, and procedural care — all working from a single, coordinated plan.

01

Physician-Led Evaluation

Sports Medicine Physician, MD

Every patient begins with a comprehensive, physician-led musculoskeletal evaluation — so the right diagnosis is established before any treatment begins.

Conditions We Evaluate & Manage

Muscle strains & tears
Ligament sprains
Tendinopathy & tendinitis
Knee, shoulder & hip pain
Neck & back pain
Arthritis & joint pain
Overuse & repetitive injuries
What to Expect

A thorough history, physical examination, and discussion of your goals. We order imaging when clinically indicated — not reflexively.

Our Approach

Non-operative first. Procedures and surgery are tools of last resort, not the default path.

02

Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercise

Rehab Specialist

Structured, progressive programs that address the root cause of your dysfunction — not just the symptoms — built directly from the physician's assessment and aimed at getting you back to what you care about.

What Rehabilitation Addresses

Movement dysfunction
Strength & stability deficits
Post-injury recovery
Return-to-sport & work progressions
Chronic pain reconditioning
Home program development

Manual Therapy & Corrective Exercise

Hands-On Treatment.
Lasting Results.

03

Manual Therapy & Corrective Exercise

Dr. Robert Friendt, DC

Dr. Friendt's approach is built on hands-on manual therapy and corrective exercise — not spinal manipulation. Precise soft-tissue techniques address the underlying drivers of pain, and every session is paired with corrective exercise so the work lasts.

Techniques & Applications

Soft tissue manual therapy
Corrective exercise prescription
Movement pattern retraining
Muscle & connective tissue work
Sports & activity-related injuries
Post-injury & post-surgical care
04

Exercise & Performance

Exercise Specialist / Rehab Specialist

Once pain is managed and movement is restored, performance programming builds the long-term resilience that keeps the same problem from coming back — evidence-based training designed around your injury history, goals, and lifestyle.

What This Includes

Functional movement screening
Strength & conditioning
Injury prevention programming
Sport-specific training
Mobility & flexibility work
Independent home programs
Who This Is For

Athletes looking to return to peak performance. Adults who want to stay active without recurring injuries. Anyone who wants to build a body that holds up over the long term — not just get through today.

05

Interventional & Procedural Care

Sports Medicine Physician, MD

Procedural care is a tool within our conservative framework — not a first resort. When it can meaningfully accelerate recovery, we offer evidence-based, physician-performed options with ultrasound guidance for precision and safety.

Ultrasound-Guided Injections

Used for both diagnosis and treatment, placed with real-time imaging for accuracy. We draw from a range of injectable options and select what best fits your clinical picture — your physician walks you through the expected benefit and evidence behind each.

Our Standard

We do not perform procedures to generate revenue. An injection is recommended only when the evidence supports it and conservative care has been given a fair trial.
