Parker Folliard, DPT, SCS

Parker grew up in Portland, attending Oregon City High School before studying Exercise and Sports Science at Oregon State University. He graduated from Oregon State in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science and a minor in Business. Upon his completion at OSU, Parker worked as an aide for North Lake at the Oregon City location before being accepted into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona.

After graduating with his doctorate in the spring of 2021, Parker moved to Texas where he worked at an Outpatient Orthopedic Clinic in Allen, Texas. During this time Parker was involved in sports injury clinics and football sideline coverage for Allen High School. This experience prompted him to pursue his passion for sports by becoming a board-certified Sports Specialist in the summer of 2023. Parker’s clinic focus has been sports-related injuries and he has extensive experience with football players and wrestlers at the high school level. He enjoys treating all patients and has developed multiple manual therapy skills including trigger point dry needling, spinal manipulation, cupping, and sports-specific manual therapy.

His goal is to treat each patient with compassion taking an evidence-based and strength-centered approach to Physical Therapy. Parker believes all patients, regardless of age or diagnosis, deserve the chance to return to pain-free activities and is enthusiastic about guiding them through that process.

In his free time, Parker enjoys spending time with his fiancé, lifting weights, and rediscovering the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest following being in Texas for 2 years. Parker also enjoys the sport of wrestling and likes to give back by assisting with the team at Oregon City High School. He is excited to be back with the North Lake team.
