Best PT group in the greater Seattle area

Richard is a blessing. I pulled a hamstring and had excruciating nerve pain when I tried to run. I just could not run! Then Richard did his magic on me and in a very very short time had me running pain free. I will be running the Rock 'n Roll 5K and I expect to have a good time. Thank you so much Richard.

PT's are very professional and helpful

Kevin Tisdel

Very friendly, competent and punctual. Thanks for the positive experience!

Attention to details from the front desk to Douglas Free, making a new patient comfortable and almost like a partner to the therapy already on the first couple of visits are impressive. Douglas gets to know his patient as a whole, not just on the paper you fill out. He actually read the intake paper and looks beyond it to draw a care plan. I'm totally impressed and gives the whole clinic a 5 star!

Sherilyn Smith

Efficient scheduling and very person care. Doug and his team took the time to listen and figure out what the best treatment plan would be. There is no pressure and they work at your own pace. Easy parking and good availability of times for therapy.

First time at a physical therapist, and I am glad I decided to come here! The staff are friendly, efficient and good at what they do.

Andrew Day

Fantastic facility, excellent people.

I have used MI Physical Therapy a couple of times over the years for help with injuries. I have found Doug Free and his staff to be very effective at figuring out what the problem was and helping me to get back to doing what I enjoy. Additionally, I have learned from them how to prevent recurrences of the same or similar injuries. I highly recommend Mercer Island Physical Therapy!

After a summer of sciatica, I decided to step up my treatment and researched PT options. My prior experience with PT was that a small number could exacerbate the issue, a large number would have no effect and a small number could improve the situation. MIPTs reviews were helpful in my selection which is why I am typing this. I was assigned to Laura Broudy. It took a few sessions to nail down the specifics of my issue and on the other side of that, I had easy to follow home stretches and exercises and some more visits and went from not being able to sit for 5 minutes to getting on a plane and sitting for 4 hours. I have never been so happy to sit. :) Thanks Laura, Luke and MIPT! I was worried I would be stuck like that forever!

My work with the PT's at RET feels unique and that's a testament to quality of individual care they offer. My wife is so pregnant I hope she doesn't brush up against a sharp corner in fear that she'll pop. So, my twice weekly visits are met with everyone in the office checking in on me to see how things are at home before we even get started. Just this little bit of playful concern/curiosity says a lot about the team. I could go on and on about the specific work they do and how Sara and Luke can torture me with therapy all while keeping me yapping about my silly life masterfully distracting me from any discomfort. I live in Snohomish now and still go to this location on Mercer Island bc i like them so.

Go here! The space is clean and beautiful, the therapists great and treatment effective. So soothing to strengthen and heal in the 90 degree water.

Denise Hopkins

All of the staff at Mercer Island Physical Therapy go above and beyond to help their patients. From helping my varsity football son stay on the field his junior and senior seasons, to helping me rehab after injuring my shoulder in a bicycle accident, the staff's expertise and healing touch are so appreciated. My thanks and highest recommendation.

Carol Kitch

Amazing experience. Both my mother and sister referred me to this office. I came in from out of town, desperate for my first P.T. appt. The front desk staff quickly worked to get me paperwork, check my insurance and get me in. Doug was my therapist. He was engaging, funny, and very competent. I am so impressed. I have made arrangements to go back whenever I am in town. I have complete confidence in them.

I went to my appointment with a lot of pain and after the treatment I was feeling good again! I had to take with me my little daughter and they were very nice with her. Thank you!

Shelli Hinkle

Laura is very professional,she explaines the way physical therapy works with a friendly and positive attitude. She is very knowledgeable about the way a body should be moving in order to correct or help whatever your situation is. She works well with the rest of the staff in order to make your experience a healthy and happy one.

Boris Castellanos

I was a smooth, easy, professional experience from the first call to the post appointment follow up. My Therapist was thorough in his exam and questions and focused right in on what would immediately help me feel better.

Sarah Ford

I have had a few different needs for Physical Therapy over the years and each time I have been extremely happy with the care and treatment I've received from MI Physical Therapy. Doug runs a great place! All of the therapists I have worked with have been very knowledgeable and have helped get to the root of my problem quickly, then developed the appropriate treatment plan. In my most recent experience, Sara came up with a diagnosis for my problem area that was very different from what my physician had diagnosed.....and it turned out that Sara was 100% right. She got me back in shape in just a few sessions.. Thank You MI Physical Therapy!

Kevin Aratani

Very personable, made me feel like the patient is important. The whole staff has "customer service" in their best interest. So far, the exercises appear to be helping. Printouts also are helpful, because I forget everything. There is also easy parking.

Rawia Gharaibe

I was referred to Mercer Island Physical Therapy by a friend about 10 years ago, and I’m very happy with my results. My physical therapist is Douglas Free, he’s very knowledgable, professional, and has helped me get better with everything from knee pain, shoulder and back pain, and many other issues over the years. He takes time to explain the problem and the treatment given. I also got the pleasure to work with Kim Cervenak, she too was great! I highly recommend this place for sports injuries or any other physical therapy need.

Stan Schill

Good people. Great programs. Excellent support and encouragement.

Suzanne Randell

I am thrilled that my orthopedic prescribed physical therapy for me and even more thrilled that Kim E. found the problem area in my knee and has me progressing in the right direction. Outstanding group on Mercer Island. . .and convenient.

Gary Craig

I have reached the time in life when my physical self cannot perform without any thought to it as I did in high school and through my forties, even fifties. I found this out the hard way. As a runner, I just took off. Until I started pulling this and that. Successive calf pulls kept me out of action for six weeks. But the groin injury, and my wife’s nagging, got me to Mercer Island Physical Therapy. I finally realized I needed to stretch! And MIPT knew how to do that very well! At first the team took the lead as was very necessary. I learned stretching exercises was the key to ending six week lay offs. When I returned to running, and now at 70 when take vigorous, fast walks for four miles five days a week, I am committed to stretching. Recently I got “tennis elbow” from carrying two water bottles while walking. Back to MIPT. New set of exercises along with weekly “work outs” with the team has me healing. (Tennis elbow is very painful.) Doug Free, the manager, has a PhD in PT, and is an amazing diagnostic doctor who explains why a specific injury occurred. He also does fabulous work on your body. His entire staff is knowledgeable and excellent therapists. They are also as a group among the nicest folks you will get to know. You feel like a friend when you go to the center. So, if you are hurting you will heal faster and get stronger with their help. PT is not luxury; it is a must if you want to heal, and more important, keep doing the physical activity you thrive on.

Kim is knowledgeable and engaging. Really enjoy the sessions

Mark Cairns

Richard Barnes is amazing. I had calf problems for nine months where after 10 minutes of running, they would tighten to a point where I couldn't run and had to walk slowly. I had seen a doctor and a physical therapist and we could not figure it out. Richard was highly recommended from a friend and at the first visit he figured out that the nerves in the back of my legs were fused to my muscles. At that appointment he ground them apart (which was very painful) and I was able to play a full soccer game two days later with no issues. He understands the body.

These people combine effective treatment with a congenial environment!

Megan Ellison

MIPT definitely helped me with my running injuries and gave me good skills and exercises to both prevent and correct injuries.

Al Tyrrill

9 weeks after knee replacement, I walk 3-4 miles with my walking group, have gone 5 miles on my own, can straighten and bend my knee almost like nothing happened. Primarily due to Doug Free's physical therapy.

Alana Ray

I highly recommend Mercer Island Physical Therapy. I struggled with middle back pain, and after a series of sessions with Laura, I found my way back to weight lifting and high intensity interval training with little to no back pain. Prior to working with Laura, any twisting or lifting would cause a great deal of discomfort on the right side of my back. Her approach is gentle and kind. She takes time to listen and ask questions. She focused on stretches and tailored exercises to help lengthen the muscle while creating space through controlled breathing. I have also worked with Doug after tearing my meniscus. He too is incredibly compassionate, empowering and helpful. I am grateful to have run multiple 5 and 10k’s without any pain in my knee. I wouldn’t have found my way back to athletics if it wasn’t for the team’s dedication to outstanding patient care.

Miriam Beck

Excellent clinic. All staff knowledgeable, well trained, and diligent. Would not hesitate to recommend!!

Peter O

Great service and care! Had a herniated disc that was managed conservatively without surgery and now pain free after 1 month of rigorous PT.

Linda and George Ojemann

Knowledgeable Courteous Parient Fun even though it’s medical

Very friendly and professional. I keep coming back for more!
