Services
Spine Care
Our spine specialists treat neck and back conditions using manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and postural retraining. We address disc herniations, stenosis, and post-surgical recovery through individualized plans that restore mobility while minimizing pain. Treatment integrates patient education about ergonomics and home exercise programs to prevent recurrence.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
This evidence-based technique builds muscle strength using low-load resistance exercises with controlled blood flow. Ideal for post-surgical rehabilitation or muscle atrophy cases, BFRT stimulates hypertrophy while protecting healing tissues. Our therapists apply specialized cuffs and protocols to safely enhance recovery outcomes for various orthopedic conditions.
Medical Bike Fit
Our certified specialists analyze cycling biomechanics using video analysis and on-bike assessments. We optimize saddle height, handlebar positioning, and cleat alignment to prevent overuse injuries while improving performance. The evaluation includes personalized recommendations for equipment adjustments and rider-specific strength training programs.
Climbing Rehab
Designed for recreational and competitive climbers, this program addresses finger pulley injuries, shoulder impingements, and wrist strains. We combine strength assessments with climbing-specific movement analysis to develop injury prevention strategies and return-to-climbing protocols tailored to individual skill levels and goals.
Pre-Post Partum Therapy
Our women's health specialists address pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes through posture correction, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and safe exercise progression. Services include cesarean recovery support, labor positioning education, and management of hormone-induced joint laxity to maintain physical function throughout the childbearing year.
Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral for physical therapy?
Washington state allows direct access to physical therapy, but some insurance plans require physician referrals for coverage. Check with your provider before starting treatment.
What should I wear to physical therapy sessions?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to treated areas. For lower back issues, bring shorts and a t-shirt; avoid restrictive clothing that limits movement assessment.
How long do therapy sessions last?
Initial evaluations typically take 60-75 minutes. Follow-up sessions are 50-55 minutes of one-on-one time with your dedicated therapist for focused treatment delivery.
What payment options do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, standard credit cards, and HSA/FSA accounts. Payment is due at time of service unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
Are evening or weekend appointments available?
We offer limited evening appointments during firefighter program periods. Standard hours are Monday-Friday with no weekend availability at our West Seattle clinic.
