Outpatient Rehabilitation Center Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Care

Mar 2024

My 91-year-old father has been attending strength training at the Outpatient Rehabilitation Center for over 14 years. The staff is so welcoming, kind and professional. Bee, who manages the front office, is exceptional and accommodating. Gary, my father‘s physical therapist, provides a challenging routine that keeps my father strong and fit. I highly recommend Washington Outpatient Rehabilitation Center to anyone looking for a positive and encouraging environment in which to maintain your fitness.

This is the best physical therapy/ rehabilitation center that I have been to in the Bay Area. After having gone to 2 other PT centers in the Bay Area and seen multiple specialists (spine physiatrists and chiropractors included) for my neck issue over the last decade, this was the only place that was able to resolve my chronic pain. In February, my bulging C5/C6 disc herniated resulting in excruciating pain radiating down my right arm. I was unable to do even some of the simplest things. It was so painful that I could not sleep. Matt S. (DPT) was able to get my pain under control . His deep knowledge of the human body and where the nerves were being pinched, enabled him to hone in on the problem area. He assigned stretches for me to do at home and spent my time in the office with physical manipulations to free up the tight muscles that were putting strain on the neck and pinching the nerve. So many places I have gone to before just set you up with exercises and watch while you do them at the PT center - no hands on approach, and 1 person watching multiple patients. The 1 on 1 attention you get at the Washington Outpatient Rehabilitation Center was key for my recovery. These were treatments I could not achieve through exercise and stretching alone. After a few months of treatment, my pain is down to 0-1 on most days. Over the last decade, I had just learned to live with a pain of 4+. Now I know what what pain-free feels like! Another key to long-term sustainable recovery from a chronic injury is understanding the underlying situations that cause this injury. Matt spends the time to get to know the patient and advises on changes to habits to prevent a recurrence. Great bedside manner, great listener, and a wealth of knowledge!The staff at this site are also welcoming and friendly. Bea was always so helpful at the front desk, helping me get appointments that fit into my busy life. And Chris was always so kind and gentle when setting up the heat or ice on my neck. I'm so glad I found this place!

B was excellent at getting me as soon as possible- and Larry is a miracle worker! I hobbled in there today and I walked out upright. I’m still in pain but so much better after Larry’s treatment and the exercises he gave me to help strengthen my sciatica area are a lifesaver! So grateful
