Physical Therapy in Kirkland

“I don't know why I haven't left a review yet, but after today I had to. Dr. Ablett is the BEST! I've tried others (other highly recommended 5 star reviewed) in times when he's not available and they never get it done. Hurt my back on Friday, saw another provider for minimal to no relief, saw Dr. Ablett today and back to 100%. He should really do some seminars or educational content for other chiropractors.“

“I sprained my ankle on a run and was in need of PT advice to rehab it asap, to get back into marathon training. I was very happy to get on Ruchi's waitlist and got in to see her the next day due to a cancellation. She carefully examined the injury and paid close attention to my history and situation, and provided clear guidance for how to recover and return to training. She provided good exercises tailored to my fitness and the injury. She encouraged me to update her with progress to adjust the plan. She carefully watched me do various exercises and provided great feedback to improve my form. I recovered faster than expected, thanks to Ruchi's great care. I highly recommend her.“

“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.“

“I was a patient at SPT Kirkland for two separate injuries in the past 2 years and they've been an exceptional resource towards getting me back to normal activities. Harrison and Darren are very talented and able to focus on addressing specific areas of treatment with a variety of approaches. Brystel was always great in handling scheduling and payments.

I was able to recover from a back injury within a few months and am very grateful. Highly recommend this team and location.“

“After a year of chronic hip pain, I decided to get a hip replacement. I went to Laura for her help in regaining hip mobility. She’s definitely helped me with that and is also helping me with my knees. She’s taught me a new way to walk and move my body. I feel much more comfortable and natural in my body and have a newfound awareness of how I move. Laura is a great teacher and practitioner of the Feldenkrais method. –Kirk Knight“

“1st appointment and I am completely blown away of all of the interest dedicated to my entire body, instead of one part of it. Lin was supper positive about my health and encouraged me to look forward to a new healthy me.“

“I have been coming here for almost three years now. When I first started, I was struggling with a herniated disc that caused numbness in my leg and severe lower back pain. I even had spinal injections at the hospital, but nothing helped. Then I started coming here, and things completely changed.

Dr. Ted,the chiropractor, always takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. Since starting decompression therapy (almost a year ago now), my numbness and pain have not returned. He has also treated me for neck pain and elbow inflammation, adjusting the treatment to my needs each time. This has truly become one of the clinics I feel I can always rely on.

At the same time, Sharon, the massage therapist, is amazing. Her massages are so relaxing and help ease my muscle tension—something I always look forward to. I also see Joe, the PT, every week to make sure my herniated disc doesn’t flare up again. He explains everything so clearly and is very supportive.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the office has such a bright and positive atmosphere. After all these years, I can honestly say this is one of the easiest and most comfortable chiropractic offices to keep coming back to, and I’m truly grateful for their care.“

“Our daughter has a genetic disorder that affects her gross motor skills. When we started with her therapist, Becky at First Steps our daughter was 15 months old and was just starting to scoot and was unable to climb up a surface level change of even a few inches. Within weeks of our first appointment she began to slowly attempt climbing on different levels and over a few months gained enough strength to stand on her own. We eventually added in aquatic therapy sessions with Kristin, which were equally amazing. By 21 months old she took her first steps and is now running around chasing her older sister. We didn’t think she would be anywhere near walking by 2 and she hasn’t even had her second birthday yet l. We are in awe of her fast progress and are forever grateful for Becky and Kristen and the entire first steps team for the time they took with our daughter to get to know her and her needs and how they encouraged her and us along the way. First Steps is an unbelievably positive place to be and I can not recommend them enough.“

“I was referred to Heidi's practice by Dr. Trumble after a major shoulder reconstruction surgery on January 11th, 2022. She guided me through months of physical therapy and rehabilitation, educating me throughout the entire process, and providing the highest level of care.Heidi set me up with the skills and knowledge to work on my injury at home, alongside the sessions at her clinic. Because of this, I was able to recover relatively quickly for an injury as extensive as mine. I now have nearly full mobility and strength in my shoulder, and expect to make a full recovery by summer of this year.Most importantly, she got me back to doing the sports I love, with the strength to safely enjoy them.“

“I worked with the pelvic floor specialist during my pregnancy for hip pain, and they were very knowledgeable and helped me resolve my issue after the first visit. Helpful front desk staff too. Easy parking.“

“My mom and I were in a car accident and started at RET. I was having sciatic pain in both legs. I would get pain while driving and while sitting at my computer. Michael Chen, my therapist, challenged me and really listened to how I was feeling and tailored workouts for my personal needs. He made me laugh and we talked about things going on, while keeping me focused and pushing me.

Mom and I both started looking forward to our appts and catching up with people. From the front desk gals to all the therapists and assistants, everyone was helpful and you got to know them as people, not just another dr appt. I actually wanted to keep going for the social interaction as I work from home, but Michael had fixed me up to where I had no pain and really didn't have a need to go. Mom and I have both graduated. In fact, we made an 8 day road trip to Texas and I didn't have any pain!

I also want to do a shout out to Erin and Roland, they would work with me until my time with Michael, I really enjoyed getting to know them and we would chat and laugh. It's such a friendly atmosphere and everyone is real and they truly care how you are feeling.

Thank you to Sam for helping with any billing questions! Insurance is never fun to deal with but she made it easy.

I can't recommend this place enough.“
