Physical Therapy in Kirkland

“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 struggled for over a year with tendonitis in my elbow. The gang at SPT guided me through tailored exercises. These movements weren't easy, but they strengthened my imbalances and stimulated recovery.

Thanks to everyone, especially Anna and Darren.

P.S. The new building looks great!“

“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’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 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 had torticollis and a strong head-turn preference that led to plagiocephaly and asymmetric motor skills, so we started physical therapy at First Step when she was just 2 months old. Working with Anyssa Ruiz Fairchild was one of the best decisions we made as first-time parents.

Anyssa not only helped fully resolve our daughter’s torticollis and head-turn preference, but also supported her overall motor development and confidence. By the time our daughter graduated at 8 months old, she was testing in the 90th percentile for motor skills — an outcome we truly credit to Anyssa’s expertise and care.

At every visit, Anyssa treated our baby with so much compassion and attentiveness, and she always took the time to clearly explain what she was seeing and why certain exercises mattered. She gave us practical, easy-to-follow exercises to do at home, which made us feel empowered and confident between sessions — especially as first-time parents.

We are incredibly grateful to First Step and to Anyssa for changing our daughter’s trajectory and setting her up for long-term success. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.“

“Working with Laura has been such a meaningful part of my healing process. Her Feldenkrais sessions helped me reconnect with my body in a gentle, supportive way that went beyond what I had experienced with traditional physical therapy. I'm so grateful for her care, presence, and the space she creates.“

“Friendly and very knowledgeable people!
Have been here 3 separate times and would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“Our family has had an outstanding experience with Heidi Kodeski, PT and owner of Elite Performance and Therapy in Kirkland. She is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares for each of us, including guiding my son through rehab after his ankle surgery. What really sets her apart is her expertise and how hands-on she is—she does not rely on assistants in her PT practice.

Every session is tailored to the unique situation of the patient. Depending on the injury, she often finishes with exactly what’s needed, whether it’s muscle stimulation, icing, the Graston technique, or another targeted modality. We’ve seen fantastic results and always feel heard and cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch, attentive physical therapy.“

“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.“
