Dr. Rob Bodner, LMT #8274, D.C.

Dr. Rob spent his formative years growing up in Beaverton, Oregon. After graduating from Sunset High School, he attended the University of Oregon. He double majored in both Spanish and English. After graduating, he enrolled in massage school, and began his career in healthcare. He moved to Boulder, Colorado, and attended Boulder College of Massage Therapy.
After over 1500 hours of education, he was ready to administer therapeutic massage to the public. Shortly after graduating in 2000, Dr. Rob moved to Israel where he studied Hebrew and worked as a massage therapist. A year later, he returned to Portland and has been working as a massage therapist and language interpreter for over 10 years.
Dr. Rob discovered chiropractic through a snowboarding injury, that baffled traditional Western medicine doctors for a couple of years. Eventually, he went to a chiropractor and in one adjustment everything went back into place, the pain dissipated, and he could feel the blood flowing freely into the affected area of his neck and shoulder. He has been problem free in that area ever since. After that experience he was convinced of the benefits of chiropractic treatment, and soon after, enrolled in chiropractic school at Western States Chiropractic College and has never looked back.
Dr. Rob strives to join his experiences as a massage therapist, and that of traditional Western medicine, with complementary alternative medicine to offer the most holistic and well rounded care that he can give.

Dr. Emily Todd, DC (she/her)

Hi, I’m Emily. I’m here to help you on your journey to healing and wellness. Together we will work on reducing pain, restoring movement, improving function, and increasing flexibility to help you do everything you want to do with fewer limitations in your body.
I aspire to practice evidence-informed care, integrating the best clinical data available with extensive anatomical knowledge, biomechanical understanding, and clinical intuition. I think of each patient as a whole person, and recognize that our past experiences, our emotions, and our mental state each impact injury and recovery. My treatment techniques are on the gentle side, with a focus on your soft tissues (muscles and fascia) in addition to your joints. I perform standard chiropractic adjusting (diversified style), and also utilize mobilization, drop table, and an Activator tool.
Your experience in your body is the guide to everything we do together. If something is uncomfortable, I want to know, because there is almost certainly something we can do differently to achieve therapeutic benefit in a way that feels good to you. In order to help you understand the through line from activity to injury to treatment to recovery, I will talk your ear off about your body, teaching you about the structure and function of the anatomy involved. And, I will offer you stretches, exercises, and activity modifications to empower you to heal faster, avoid future injury, and increase your wellness.
I always felt called to health care, focusing my desire to learn more about people by majoring in Psychology and Drama at the University of Virginia. During my time at UVA, I hurt my back and became a chiropractic patient for the first time. The experience taught me that physical medicine is a powerful tool in the quest to live more comfortably in my body.
For the next decade, I pursued arts production and education, while I considered what kind of mental healthcare I wanted to provide. I was based in Washington, DC where I founded a theater company with a friend (which is still going strong), and produced arts festivals and parades for organizations like The National Cherry Blossom Festival. I also continued to receive regular chiropractic care. I came to believe that allopathic medicine (aka western healthcare) is
insufficient to heal the body, heart, and mind. And I decided that counseling wasn’t what I wanted to offer my patients. I started to search for other modalities of healing, educating myself along the way with various courses.
Then in the spring of 2015, I was in a bicycle accident that upended my entire life. With a wrist that might be fractured, no health insurance, and limited financial resources, I turned to a chiropractor for help. I’d been seeing chiropractors for more than 10 years, but my experience with Dr. K helped me realize that was the medicine I wanted to offer! 18 months later, I began at the University of Western States to earn my Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine.
That brings us to the present, with me seeing patients here, at Ridgeline Clinic. My appointments are structured just the way I like them, with plenty of time to get to know each patient, learn what’s going on in their bodies, and understand their goals. We will spend about a half hour together each visit, discussing your progress, performing treatment, and checking in about your home care. Home care is an important part of the process of healing. If we see each other once a week, that’s a half hour of treatment with me and 167 and a half hours of you on your own. I know that changing routines to make space for stretches and exercises can be a challenge. We’ll work together to come up with ideas for how your home care can fit into the life you’re already living and get you back to doing the things you love sooner. I’m ready to get started as soon as you are!
