Peak Sports and Spine Physical Therapy

I’ve been working with the team at Peak for 2+months now & couldn’t be more pleased with the treatment & results I have experienced thanks to their guidance!
The entire staff from admins to therapists are organized & experts in their respective field (s)
I highly recommend Peak for athletes (& former athletes) looking to rehab an injury while receiving treatment & direction from outstanding therapists.

Having dealt with multiple complex injuries and medical issues over a lifetime (I am 50 years old now) I have had numerous physical therapists over the years, all over Seattle. None of them were ever half as good as Ali, Polly and the other practitioners at Peak. I have been a client of this clinic for more than three years now and am continuously and consistently impressed with their skills, always walking out the door feeling better than I walked in, and armed with an easy-​to-​understand plan for following up with exercises at home. The office administration is also extremely well run, the clinic is very well equipped, and all the employees are friendly, compassionate and completely professional. I have recommended many friends and co-​workers over to Peak and have heard similarly consistent reports of complete satisfaction which, if you think about it, is pretty hard to achieve in the realm of physical therapy.

We have been going to peak Sports and Spine for about 30 years. I think we started seeing Ali Shoos when we had sports injuries in our 30’s and 40’s. Over the years she has helped us recover from surgeries on knees, hands, and ankles. She has found ways to help our bodies (backs specifically) repair through exercise instead of taking a surgical approach. We are in our 70’s now and still doing well with her help.
My husband once told a doctor, who was suggesting he go to the in house physical therapy clinic, that he would change doctors before he would change his physical therapist.
The Peak Sports and Spin Clinic, and Ali Shoos in particular, has an amazing reputation. She is trusted and highly regarded for her skill and knowledge by each and every physician we have gone to.
The support staff is always friendly and helpful. In addition to Ali Shoos, the other therapist and assistants are outstanding. There is a welcoming atmosphere and a team spirit in this clinic. No question has ever been unanswered. The environment is clean, quiet and well equipped. The Bellevue location is now convenient and parking is wide open.
I especially like the exercise class offered at the clinic on Gravity Tower trainers. I go three times a week. This system works core muscles and gives me the weight training and aerobics my body needs. The trainer, Lindsey, knows how to adjust for personal needs. I know I will not accidentally cause injury trying to build strength.

Our whole family has gone here and worked with a number of different therapists and all are excellent. The clinic staff are super friendly. It is in a brand new building and easy to access with injuries.

Everyone I have worked with at this business from the business staff that greets you at the door, the assistants that get you started, and the PT, Ali Schoos, that I have worked with off and on for at least 10 years, are friendly and professional. Ali has been fantastic. She has treated me for a variety of injuries and one surgery. She listens to what I have to say, creates exercises specific to my particular needs, and doesn’t hesitate to change things if it isn’t going well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

I was referred here over a year ago and it is true that everyone who works there is awesome. They showed me how to use a cane and told me I should see a surgeon for an evaluation before they could do any PT.
However.
The parking at this location is on a steep slope — so if you are trying to get out of your car without the door closing on you, you will need help. Also, there was no wheelchair access. The office is at the end of a long hallway (maybe 200 feet?) so if you are having trouble walking (as I was, since I had a knee injury) it can be very painful to get to the office.
I can’t believe that an office that treats people with mobility issues didn’t think this through a little better.

Everyone here is amazing, from the people who answer the phone to make the appointment, to when you walk in and get yourself checked in to the PTs, the PT assistants and the PT aides. I started going to Peak Sports and Spine PT under the referral of a friend who was super satisfied with her treatment there.
I decided to seek PT because I could barely walk without pain. Just walking down stairs or even walking a short distance was painful. Granted, I had a serious leg injury 2 years ago, but 2 years later and after several visits at a different clinic, my leg was still causing me a lot of trouble. So, I decided to start up with PT again and I am SO glad I went to Peak Sports and Spine.
From the first appointment, Ali Schoos listened to my concerns and description of what was going on. I let her know that I was a former runner and cross fitter, yet ever since my injury, normal, everyday activity seemed like a challenge. My goal was to work my leg and body enough that I could walk without pain. It got so bad that I avoided physical activity because something I dreaded something as simple as walking down the stairs in my own house.
I needed to get back to my active lifestyle. She looked at my leg and my gait and she explained what I needed to work on and strengthen, she carefully explained why and then showed me how i could do that efficiently and effectively. She also made treatment suggestions that were clearly geared toward my goals and specific to me. As part of my treatment, i also saw Paul and Heather because of their specializations with ASTYM. All the providers I saw were attentive to my questions, concerns and situation. I felt really cared for and like they were rooting for me to get back to my active life!
Within just a few appointments, my leg and lifestyle took a dramatic positive turn. The improvement kept on happening over each appointment. Less than 8 weeks after my first appointment, I don’t have to think about my leg when I walk because there is no more pain, whereas for the past 2 years, I had to really think about movement to make it happen without wincing or buckling and tripping because my leg would give out.
Now, I don’t avoid the stairs and hopefully in some time, I’ll be able to think about running again. I am cycling, spinning, able to do the elliptical, and hiking up and down grades without pain. It’s amazing to think about how a major injury can change your entire life. I was super discouraged because I had so much pain. The team at Peak Spine and Sports totally worked with me to change that. I will forever seek my PT care there. They are an amazing team that made a true difference for me and my situation and outlook on how to stay active.
