Therapeutic Associates West Seattle Physical Therapy

I have been working with Kirsten at WS Physical Therapy and really appreciate her professionalism, insight, and caring. She was quickly able to make a difference with my sore neck and it has been easy to schedule future appointments.
I also like this office for it’s easy location, spacious layout, great front desk staff, equipment, and more. They also bill my insurance, which is a kind service. Thank you all for your great service!

Horrible ER service. I told the doctor my symptoms and he replied «how can I help you» isn’t he the doctor? ??? Then he told me that he will not figure out or try to find out what my problem is !!! Wow he should stay home .isn’t he at the hospital to help people out ??? What Kind Of Doctor Is this idiot???

if Humpty Dumpty had access to this place, we would have a vastly different nursery rhyme.
a referral from my general practitioner landed me here, and I ended up with Allison as my therapist. she has worked wonders on my back, which I had written off as irreparable after being rear ended twice and years of other abuse and poor posture. I have since gone back to deal with other problem areas, trying to undo damage of prior injuries in hopes of feeling like a normal human being.
Allison takes a near sadistic glee in her job. she pushes me to my limits in the stretching and exercises, and it’s rare that I don’t feel it the next morning. yet a couple days later I feel a remarkable improvement. I also have a crazy high pain tolerance when it comes to deep tissue massage, she’s one of the few people I’ve encountered that can really get in there and work the problem areas, but with enough intuition to not do more damage.
I don’t know what each session costs, my insurance picks up the tab. I do know that it’s worth every penny. and it’s reassuring to know the next time my body breaks down, I know where I can go to fix it up better than before. I’ve even started a «pre-​hab» regimen to prevent recurring injuries.

This place is awesome– very friendly staff and therapists, flexible hours, great location near the Junction. I worked with Erica who had my plantar fasciitis cleared up in a minimal number of treatments. Amazing! I’ve heard of others with the same problem who took a year or more to heal. Check these guys out– I can’t say enough good things about them

Superb if you have a stable schedule
I lucked into scoring Matthew Olson as my therapist. He’s a champ, 100%. My injury was chronic and a complete mystery to me. It was also embarrassing from the perspective of someone past his 40^th birthday. Years of questionable posture perpetuated a nerve constraint in my neck, and I had tingling & numbness in my hand. Matthew identified it immediately and put me on the path to a cure.
What I like about Matthew is that he wasn’t interested in putting me on a 12 month program to pad his office’s revenue. My problem wasn’t complicated and the solution isn’t something that 30 minutes twice a week would help. I saw him maybe 4 times and he cut it off, with an offer to re-​engage if the situation resurfaces.
The lack of the 5^th star is for the rest of the office. It’s kind of disorganized. If you can’t make the regular appointment where you’re seeing «your» therapist, there’s no guarantee you’ll sustain the same course of therapy. I had an appointment with someone else and, while she was really very nice, her therapy was more exercise-​focused and caused more problems than it resolved. Also, office-​related, the dude at the front desk is the wrong guy for the job. I’ve admittedly been out of the doctor/​hospital loop for decades, but bearded 20-​something dudes don’t fit the mold for a health care office. Call me old fashioned, but I like to see someone who really values their work in an outgoing and helpful fashion. Maybe they’ve switched up their staff, but the front office was more like dining in Georgetown than it was a nurturing and healing experience.
Bottom Line:
Request Matthew. He did a great job and has an excellent philosophy for PT.

On Jan 8^th I had ACL replacement surgery as well as a repair to the Meniscus in my right knee. I am entering six to nine months of PT and know exactly where I am going for treatment. I saw Jennifer Russel yesterday and remain thrilled with the care she provides. I trust her and will obey her every command because I know from experience it will cut my healing time down significantly if I do what she tells me.
The people at the clinic are still super friendly and greet me warmly. I spend a great deal of time sitting in doctors lobby’s lately. It makes a huge difference when the person who greets you is genuinely a nice person who is able to chat with each and every person who comes through the door. I love that!
The clinic has moved a block North. Be sure to get the new addy from them.
