Physical Therapists near Mercer Island

“I want to counteract the bad reviews because I was so frustrated last year and the year before being put on hold and dealing with their horrific phone implementation. However - they have now fixed it and when you call the number you actually get a human at the front desk. They also have a wonderful new doctor, Katrina Spaunhurst MD, FAAD who has recently treated both my girls and is thoughtful, prescriptive, and very results oriented. We absolutely love her. So don't let these bad reviews deter you - the service has gotten a lot better in 2024 and now that the transformation to Frontier is complete, they actually pick up the phone. :-)“

“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!“

“I worked with top-notch therapists at GPT Greenwood in a clean and well-resourced clinic. The Ravenna location has also been wonderful in the past. At Greenwood, Carolyn helped me immensely in recovering from a back injury. She built a flexible program with achievable goals and was always encouraging and kind. In the beginning, her schedule had filled up so I worked with Josh. He was just as patient and knowledgeable, and I was impressed with how well they managed my program together.

I came into the clinic limping in pain and was discharged with strength, confidence, and no pain. Thank you!“

“I have been going to ReVerve Physical Therapy in Seattle since July 2024 for CRPS and post-op foot surgery. If you aren’t aware, CRPS is an uncurable condition which registers at 44-46 on the McGill Pain Scale (only goes to 50 and is only below End Stage Terminal Cancer so…) that anyone can develop after an injury or surgery. Skilled providers are critical if a patient is to retain or develop quality of life. Patients often must go to Spero Clinic in Arkansas, Mayo Clinic, or Cleaveland Clinic since this is a rare/uncommon condition. I really wanted to find someone local to work with long-term since (some) remission can be achieved, yet it can also go away in the future. I believe I found the best providers possible offering some of the things these clinics offer like FSM (microcurrent treatment), red and infra-red laser treatment (ReVerve offers Bioflex Laser, FSM aka Frequency Specific Microcurrent, AND Neuromuscular Re-education which is usually delivered by devices such as a Calmare Scrambler or a NeuFit/Neubie device…I’m sure there are others, but I think people with CRPS mostly learn about these two) along with CRPS-informed PT to address my post-surgical situation. I used a wheelchair and forearm crutches almost 80% of the time when I left my home when I started at ReVerve and now I only use them about 20% of the time. My foot is finally walking and all five toes lie flat on the floor instead of all curled up like a dead bird foot. My CRPS is in about 85% remission and was only in about 15-20% remission when I started with ReVerve. My surgery (when I also developed the resulting Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) was in January. At that time, I would scream/wail/screech randomly and severely. It was so bad at night that I would eventually pass out from pain and then the pain would wake me again. And again and again. Now, I only cry-out about once a week or once every two weeks.

Treating CRPS is like any other exercise or self-improvement program. You get a coach (PT, OT, etc) and then you have to do the practice at home. I learned that these treatments produce the best results with consistency. Since this is a life-long condition and the device (the FSM device specifically) treats a lot of conditions, I opted to invest in the home unit which ReVerve keeps updated as needed. I will say that if you are looking for an experience such taking an antibiotic for two weeks and you’re cured that you should change your expectations when it comes to chronic conditions. Approaching health conditions with a ‘high-agency’ attitude will go a long way when it comes to helping yourself. CRPS is tough and unpredictable. We just have to do our best and surround ourselves with a team.

I selected this clinic as my first provider because I remembered speaking with the most compassionate and knowledgeable provider and it was clear that Dr Hendryx really believes in his patients. I spoke with him when I was first diagnosed in February and wasn’t able to comprehend much due to the medications and horrific pain. I just remembered how there was only one person out of all the specialists at Virginia Mason and the other clinics and hospitals that stood out. I’m so thankful I found this clinic when I was desperate, confused, and physically and emotionally de-stabilized. I may have “The Suicide Disease”, but I live with joy and confidence because I have my best chance now. I have added other PT’s to my weekly appointments who specialize in things like structural integration and Pilates-based work. I would never have been able to work with these additional providers if it weren’t for the relief the modalities at ReVerve provided. I’m doing it all. I always thought of the PT’s office as a place where you go for six weeks and get some exercises on paper and just go do those. Now I know that a PT’s office is a place for your future self and well-being. Thanks so much to Chason, Katherine, and everyone who makes ReVerve a brave and safe space, for me. Thank you for always making sure I understand what is happening “

“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!“

“Amazing staff! My husband has been to two other physical therapy companies and Stride Physio is the best hands down. Because of my husband's complex medical issues we had to juggle appointments and all three therapists we saw were awesome. So focused and knowledgeable. The front desk staff is also very helpful and understanding. Highly recommend ?“

“With three family members seeing PTs at HIDEF Renton, I can confidently say they are excellent at what they do. Not only do they challenge you physically and get you to work hard toward recovery, but they also consistently show they are invested in your care. For the PTs themselves as well as their office coordinator, I definitely recommend HIDEF Renton.“

“This is the most compassionate, integrated, and effective health care practice I've seen. Their unique approach is life changing. I suffered from lifelong chronic pain that I couldn't find relief from (despite seeing numerous PTs and massage therapists) until I visited this clinic. I've worked with Orit, Abby, and Jamie and all are truly spectacular and deeply caring. Also don’t miss out on Orit’s newsletter and youtube videos!“

“I came here with low back pain after I was involved in a car accident. My therapist, Anna, was so helpful and now my back is feeling so much better!

She was very thorough with her evaluations and was careful to help me address all problems I wanted to resolve in my back, not just the isolated low back pain. I got help with some upper back stuff and also advice for properly doing exercises I enjoy like barbell squats. She is very knowledgeable and was able to explain what was going on with my body and what we were doing to try to fix the problem. She was also super friendly and it really felt like she cared about helping me get back to 100%. Finally, they even allow you to stay longer past your appointment if you want to in order to wrap up final rehab exercises.

I've tried a few different PT places in the area and this one was definitely the best for me!“

“My experience with Pierre at Butheau Physiotherapy was nothing short of exceptional. After a severe ankle sprain, Pierre’s expertise and attentive care were instrumental in my swift recovery. He stands out for his ability to listen and customize treatments, demonstrating an in-depth understanding of physiotherapy and patient needs.Pierre’s approach is both innovative and effective, focusing on not just healing but also strengthening, ensuring a comprehensive recovery. His dedication to patient well-being is evident, making each session a positive and reassuring experience.I highly recommend Pierre to anyone in need of top-notch physiotherapy services. His professionalism and commitment to recovery are unparalleled.“

“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.“

“It has been a great experience and support with my PT plus big improvement. Mari. did an amazing job on getting my shoulder stronger again! Thank you so much for all your time and dedication.“

“I felt low back pain while I was doing a heavy deadlift. I literally could not stand up straight and thought I herniated a disc or something worse. I have really good insurance from my Google employer so I knew I could refer myself to whoever took my insurance. I chose PT Dynamix because of all the positive reviews it has and I will admit I was a bit skeptical a place could consistently get a 5.0 rating for so long. It turns out their service is so much better. First, my therapist was the one who contacted me after I had filled their online request form and I was able to tell PT Dynamix isn’t a number driven practice. I went to the Renton location because it was convenient for me location wise and I had 3 appointments with the SAME therapist. I got a very thorough evaluation followed by some soft tissue work and muscle energy to my low back muscles. I was amazed at how much better I felt immediately after! I received a thorough home exercise program which allowed me to feel more movement in my back and in two days I was feeling almost 100%. I went back for the following two appointments where I learned how to lift heavier weights safely and progressively. I was most impressed with the fact that I was never told I could not weightlift, but instead I was encouraged to do so and shown how to challenge my body even more. This injury was a blessing in a disguise and I feel stronger than I did previously. Lastly, the way they do medical billing is very transparent and easy to understand. I highly recommend PT Dynamix to anybody looking to stay active after an injury.“

“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.“

“It is exceptional how well she teaches! She teaches you how to move with your whole body.“

“Great physical therapy work! I feel like she really understands what is best to help you.“

“IRG Physical and hand therapy - Bellevue. This is an excellent place to get therapy, the therapists and all the staff who work there are very friendly and do a very good job. You feel at home, the place is spacious and comfortable. I recommend it.“

“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 ?.“

“Highly recommend! Deanna has helped me find my way through a variety of short- and long-term injuries and conditions. She combines the depth and breadth of her experience with warm compassion and a keen understanding of bodies and the challenges of living in them. Her work is efficient, effective, and fun, and has improved my quality of life many times over.“

“Chris saved my run. I have waited ~3 years to write this, wanted to make it poignant. I was a trim/muscular 200 lb, 55 year old recreational runner with a diagnosed tear of my left medial meniscus. Ignored surgical recommendation and on the advice of a second doctor, went to Chris. He laid out the work for me, and voila, six months later I was back to my 5 mile run, 3 times a week. I continue to spend 45 minutes, once or twice a week, doing the strength training Chris showed me, and I am still doing that run, 3 years later, with my meniscus intact. Thank you Chris!“
