I just finished treatment for a pinched nerve in my neck and Kelly and Chris we’re both great to work with. My appointments were fun and I actually looked forward to going. More importantly than that, their plan is super effective at eliminating my symptoms and has allowed me to avoid a surgery that I thought was a forgone conclusion.
Physical Therapy in Seattle, WA
Personalized & Comprehensive Physical Therapy
At Seattle Rehab Specialists, we take a holistic, individualized approach to physical therapy that goes beyond just addressing isolated symptoms. We personalize your care from the first call, gathering information about your goals and lifestyle to match you with the ideal therapist. We believe that recovery isn’t just about treating an injury but also understanding your individual experience so that our therapists can create a plan of care just for you.
Our Applied Functional Science (AFS) methodology views the body as an integrated system, focusing on how it moves and functions in everyday life. Instead of treating specific muscles or joints in isolation, we evaluate the entire body in motion to uncover the true source of pain or dysfunction. This full-body, functional approach allows us to create more effective and sustainable treatment plans that promote faster recovery and long-term success.
Our goal is not just to relieve symptoms but to help you return to the activities that bring you joy. Your physical therapist will develop a personalized plan based on your individual needs, lifestyle, and goals, whether that’s getting back to sports, work, or simply pain-free movement. Each session is intentional and dynamic, designed to mirror real-life movements and enhance your overall resilience. We strive to make the process enjoyable by fostering a welcoming and engaging environment for patients of all backgrounds. From our inclusive culture to our fun and spirited approach, we’re here to make your recovery experience both effective and uplifting.

Diverse Treatment Approaches for Every Recovery Journey
The AFS approach is all about treating the body like an integrated system. We do not just eliminate pain but also treat the root of the problem to promote a faster and more sustainable recovery.
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Therapy
BFR is a modern technique that uses a specialized tourniquet system to restrict blood flow during specific low-impact exercises, simulating the benefits of heavier lifting. This method promotes muscle growth and recovery without straining the muscles with heavy lifting.
Manual Therapy and Cupping
Cupping techniques improve motion and decrease pain. Manual therapy and cupping are part of our holistic offerings, which are always combined with other methods for a complete and lasting recovery.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is the act of inserting thin needles into muscles, tendons, or ligaments to trigger a healing response in the body. Our trained professionals use dry needling to reduce pain and increase healing during recovery.
Custom Orthotics
Your foot comfort is essential to continued comfort during exercise and everyday activities. We measure your unique foot structure and analyze your biomechanics to design custom orthotics. Walking with the correct support improves alignment and reduces discomfort in your movement.
