“Rose is an extremely skilled and intuitive practitioner. She creates a safe and welcoming environment for her clients. She greatly helped me with physical pain, and works great with injuries. I am a dancer and I love that she is also a movement specialist. She knows how to work with dancer's bodies. She has a healing touch and is extremely skilled in all modalities she uses. I highly recommend Rose <3“

“I worked with a few people at EM over the last few months. All of them were great. My primary PT, Kelsey, is absolutely fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and professional, but also a kind, warm person. This was just a really nice place to go for not nice reasons that got better. Highly recommend!“

“This is one tight ship. I followed physical therapist Suzanne Soine from another location to Stride Physio and learned what a difference a small, locally-owned PT shop can make. Owner Susanne Michaud is incredibly accomplished and committed to the profession. It shows!“

“I was in a car accident a few months ago and needed a Physical Therapist to help with my recovery in the Renton/South Seattle Area. Dr Toy at Physical Therapy Dynamix was absolutely amazing! The care and attention to detail provided was truly exceptional. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate therapist, look no further as I highly recommend him!“

“Fantastic rehab center! My therapists were extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and friendly. Always a great atmosphere. I also really appreciated their flexibility to help me tackle my varied issues beyond the problem that brought me in the door. I’d suggest them to my friends and family without hesitation. Lastly, as someone with a compromised immune system I really appreciated their continued focus on sterilization of equipment and keeping it a healthy environment. Thanks again all!“

“Hi Def has a very knowledgeable team. Went with them knowing I had a lengthy recovery window post-op.Communication was great! I knew upfront the overall plan which set me up for realistic expectations on my progress. AJ also took into account how my shoulder was feeling that day or what my workout was for the day, and made adjustments accordingly. It wasn’t a cookie cutter template and I felt like he made the most of my time.Hopefully I will never have to go back to PT. However, if I do, it will be at Hi Def.“

“Very professional team. They pay attention to every detail/needs and most importantly they can fix the problem 100%.“

“My name is Nathan and this is my story. In 2022 I hurt my back with an annular tear between l-4 and l-5 while carrying 80 lbs. of batteries. This was signaled only with a pinch and some heat but within minutes it moved into debilitating pain, and I had to excuse myself from work. I then spent the next 5 weeks at home unable to do most anything, even needing help to dress myself at times. After the 5 weeks I'd completely exhausted all of my resources, time off, vacation pay, and savings so I needed to do something. At this time my insurance would only cover 12 PT visits, so I did those with little to no gain. But it's all I had at the time. I went to my work and appealed my situation to them and they thankfully allowed me to work on light duty in a different position. I was still barely able to perform my tasks and certainly unable to do so without a back brace assisting me while also taking large amounts of over-the-counter medication in an attempt to quiet the pain I lived in 24 hours a day. However, even this situation was barely feasible and I had considered trying to find different forms of employment. I had even gone as far as to consider taking the offered prescription of (addictive) - narcotic pain medication for my chronic pain. And so I decided ..... (at my wife's insistence) PT was at least worth one more shot. So, after living in this condition for more than 18 months I found my way to Pain Science where I met Dr. Abby Hendryx. Over the course of 6 months totaling some 18 visits, I learned how to incrementally increase my range of motion while at the same time gaining strength. This was very necessary to reduce my pain.... The strength part. After being pretty much on your back for more than a year you'll lose some strength. I would like to point out the during these visits I had received different forms of therapy; some intended to reduce my stress and pain while others were intended to help me gain strength and resilience. I still wanted to know what was wrong with me. I was sure if I understood the mechanical failure that would illuminate a way out of my painful situation. To my relief Dr. Abby has on hand a large amount of information. The information she provided me helped to finally understand what was going on with my body. I'm very sad to report that there is no "off button" for pain listed anywhere in the educational material I viewed. No short list of simple actions will do this is something you have to work at. It's very hard to see any progress when looking at it in the short term. However, stepping back and looking at something after a month's work at it and you can see progress. Today I am mostly pain-free. I still have a lot of aches and pains and there are limits to what I can do, but I don't feel irredeemably broken! I know that I still can do things in life. I can still achieve my goals if only I reach them. There's hope for you yet. Good luck. -Nathan“

“I had a great experience with Priyanka. I had back issues after an injury. She helped me recover from it. She listened to all my concerns, and the initial evaluation itself gave a good relief. She prescribed me exercises and stretches that helped me a lot. I would highly recomment this clinic.“

“I have been going to ProActive Physical Therapy for 6 weeks. I was very happy with the help I received my physical therapist Anna, the PT aids and front desk. Anna identified my problem immediately and came up with a great treatment plan to have me recover in no time. Everyone is friendly and accommodating here. I could have asked for a better experience with Anna and her staff.“

“They’ve helped me a lot. I was injured after a Muay Thai fight and Roman helped me recover. Good people and good therapy ?“

“One year ago I couldn’t use my thumb and was in constant pain from inflammation, issues with my tendons, and the beginnings of arthritis. PT and acupuncture only provided momentary relief. Dr. Bhandari gave me PRP (my own plasma injected into my hand) and one year later I continue to have full use of my hand and am pain free. It was a bit of a process and very painful for two days after the injection, but IT IS WORTH IT! Dr. B explained everything and was very knowledgeable and caring. Some people say it may not work for everyone, but I would trust Dr. B’s assessment and recommendation, and would absolutely encourage people to explore this as an option. It has allowed me to be completely pain free and return to living my life fully. Thank you, Dr. B.“

“I went to an initial consult here and the scheduler Lydia and Wyatt the DPT were so professional and kind to me. Wyatt really listened to me and made a realistic plan for my post-op hip replacement journey. We even did some exercises which I could use at home to help.

I would love to go back for more sessions, but the sad thing is that being off of work and not getting a paycheck is what prevents me from getting more care. I simply cannot afford it now, which is sad because I so definitely need it.

I do highly recommend seeing Wyatt for his keen and kind therapy.

Patrick :-)“

“Mari is an attentive listener and is mindful of my injuries and how they impact my exercise program. She took the time to show me correct form with my exercises. I highly recommend her for any physical therapy.“

“It is incredibly difficult to find the right words that would do justice in describing who Trish is & what she is able to do. In a nutshell, she is one of the most amazing people I have had the pleasure to work with as a patient.Trish is incredibly passionate about the work she does, genuinely interested in helping people feel better in their bodies, & possesses an immense amount of knowledge that will get you there.I have been a patient of hers since the end of 2020 & it has been quite the journey. A shift in my left femur unlocked all my physical compensatory patterns & I was turned into a scoliotic, hypermobile mess. Not a good look for an active bodyworker. At each appointment, I learned new ways to move & think while she did her magic. And bit by bit, I started feeling & moving better. The light in my eyes returned, I was able to breathe better, & I also found a new sense of calm…simply amazing!This past week, I’ve been able to move better than I have been able to in a long time, with minimal pain or discomfort. I can finally see the end of this journey. It’s bittersweet as Trish has been the ally I needed in my corner. She has taught me to look at the body from a different lens. I am forever grateful for all that she has done for me. I want to be like Trish when I grow up ?.“

“Dr. Veronika Maass was instrumental in my concussion recovery. Her expertise, passion and commitment were evident in each session. The exercises that I was given were challenging and metrics were recorded each visit which allowed us to monitor for progress and improvement. Dr. Veronika was personable and pleasant. I enjoyed my time with her. Her advice kept me motivated and on track to recover.“

“I’ve been seeing Mike at Washington Physical Therapy for the past few months, and the experience has been transformative. His expertise and personalized approach have not only helped in my recovery but also educated me on maintaining my well-being. Mike’s patience and encouragement make each session productive and positive. The facility is modern, welcoming, and well-equipped, enhancing the overall care experience. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a dedicated physical therapist in the area.“

“This is the best physical therapy I have ever received. Kathleen (the Redhead of Redhead Rehab!) has many talents and years of experience. When I see her I have her undivided attention for a full hour. Kathleen studies every new tool and technique available so she can offer her patients the very best of care. I would not hesitate to recommend Redhead.rehab to any of my friends and family.“

“Working with Josh Parafina at GPT Greenwood Office has been a great experience for a myriad of issues I have experienced over the past 2 years. I started PT In Fall 2023 with following a fall that sprained my ankle (which had been sprained before a time or two) and impacted my knee. I worked through these issues, increasing my ankle and knee stability while improving balance through the exercise program. During that period, I also addressed a flare of lower back and hip pain which I have experienced on and off for many years and learned to manage through his recommended exercises. In Spring 2024, I developed long COVID, after my 3rd infection with COVID. My post-exertional fatigue (crashes) left me barely able to walk around the block after being moderately active for years (swimming 2x week and hour long walks on our neighborhood hill in Greenwood and hiking occasionally). My heart rate would soar to 120-140s just standing at the sink doing dishes for 10 minutes, when that usually was my heart rate after walking up our hill. My Primary Dr. referred me for PT to work on reconditioning and the clinic she offered was not covered under my insurance (Aetna), so I reached out to Josh Parafina again from GPT to see if they could help. He was honest about not having treated anyone with Long Covid symptoms before but shared how he would approach my recovery with a ground up program with very gradual steps up in reps and level of difficulty while checking in frequently on how I was doing energy level wise after doing the exercises and making sure I had moderations to fall back on and signs for when to take breaks. I saw improvement in my strength and stamina build back over the 4 months we worked together. I appreciated that he asked lots of questions about what I could and could not do at work and in my life and to target exercises to get me back to where I was and even improve beyond where I had been before long COVID. He was a great listener and was patient with me, showing me the difference between how I was doing an exercise and how he was doing it, showing which parts of my body were trying to work harder while others we dialing it in. As a person not imbued with body intelligence, it was really helpful for me to learn these really basic core, squat, lunging and lifting forms correctly which may have been glossed over in other exercise programs I have done. They do initial, interim, and final strength/mobility tests to show your progress along the way which is encouraging. I highly recommend getting into to GPT whether it is a new or reoccurring injury or issue, their staff try their best to get you in as soon as possible. A great resource that I will use again if and when something comes up again.“

“Great treatment by the PT professional who worked with me. Adept diagnosis, and realistic plan of home exercise. Front desk super helpful with scheduling.“

“Dr. Graham is the most knowledgeable and skilled chiropractor I've ever met. He always has a positive attitude, is kind and caring, and continues to surprise me with new techniques and information. His staff is also awesome. Highly recommend.“

“Sarah and Noal have created a super friendly and welcoming environment. The whole physical therapy idea was way outside of my comfort zone, but they put my worries to rest by being great listeners. Each one provides their own special touch to the practice which creates a well rounded treatment plan, and I’ve experienced huge improvement under their care.“

“I highly recommend the whole team at Sports Physical Terapy. I came to them with a back sprain from weightlifting. Dr Harrison's exercises from our very first appointment provided me with immediate relief.They were invested not just in alleviating my pain but helping me improve my form and build the core strength to continue pursuing my fitness goals.Thank you so much, SPT!!!“

“I injured my back and developed sciatica, I then put off doing anything about it thinking it would go away on its own until it became nearly unbearable. I reached out to East side ideal health and they got me in the following day. After about 20 minutes I walked out of there feeling better than I had in months! Dr Greenwade worked with me to find a treatment to help me fully recover. If you are suffering do not wait like I did.“
