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.
