About
Dr. Karen Baltz Gibbs, DPT, CSCS, LMT, CMP
Founder of Garage Training & Rehab Gym, LLC | Physical Therapist | Strength & Conditioning Coach | Licensed Massage Therapist
Welcome! I’m Dr. Karen Baltz Gibbs DPT, CSCS, LMT, CMP serving the active community of Newberg, Oregon.
​
I created Garage Training & Rehab Gym, LLC with one mission: to provide a smarter, more integrated approach to care for adult athletes whether you're recovering from injury, trying to avoid one, or simply striving to perform at your best.
​
With over a decade of experience working with active adults, recreational lifters, and weekend warriors, I combine tailored physical therapy, goal-specific personal training, and targeted massage therapy — all in one convenient, garage-based setting. This one-on-one model lets you receive the attention, strategy, and support your body needs to not just recover — but thrive.
​
This is not a traditional PT clinic or big-box gym experience. This is hands-on, high-touch, highly individualized care designed to help you feel confident in your body again.
My Story
I grew up in a small town in rural Montana, where caring for others was second nature. From a young age, I felt called to a career that combined science, health, and hands-on service. When I came across physical therapy in a career guide, I knew instantly: this is what I’m meant to do.
​
Running opened the door to college, and I was recruited to George Fox University in Oregon. Leaving home was a leap, but it changed everything. I found not only a love for learning, but the kind of community that shows up for you, supports your growth, and believes in your potential.
​
Over the years, I’ve built a diverse career working in athletic training, licensed massage therapy, and as a lead physical therapist in both clinical and sports settings. I’ve served everyone from weekend warriors to pro athletes, helping them recover from injury, improve mobility, and build lasting strength.
​
That journey led me to create Garage Training & Rehab Gym in Newberg, Oregon, a private, one-on-one space where adult athletes can access personalized physical therapy, massage therapy, and strength training under one roof.
​
If you’re looking for a provider who sees the full picture - pain, performance, prevention, and tailors your care to your goals, you’re in the right place.​ Helping active adults in Newberg, Oregon move better, recover faster, and perform stronger — with care that’s as individualized as you are.
