- Mary Ann M

"I am progressing forward"

Having a Frozen Shoulder for the second time in 20 plus years, I began a search for the wonderful PHD Physical Therapist who first treated me for this all those years ago; Stuart Eivers, at MTI. Now working with him again on this often painful and frustrating issue, I am progressing forward with his very intelligent and intuitive guidance. It is not an overnight fix, but I very much trust Stuart’s efforts towards my recovery. I feel extremely appreciative of the opportunity to work with him again, and to benefit from his many years of study and experience. To conclude, when you’re in pain, kindness from a facilitator/practitioner is vital, and Stuart is that in droves!!

- Leslie M

"I have already begun to improve"

My Trainer Stuart is Committed, Disciplined and Tailored my workout to my goals. He does not waste time but is careful to make sure I am always safe. He sent my home workout program via email to me. It is easy to follow and just long enough that it inspires me to do it. I have already begun to improve and look forward to an excellent recovery.

- Phyllis L

"I can’t not thank the team and staff enough for getting me back to 100%"

17MAY22 – roughly 2x weeks before leaving a 5yr army career I was given ACL surgery. The day I moved into a new phase of life I moved to Seattle, WA. I grew up my entire life in the southeast corner of the world. MTI and Dr. Stuart “Stu” Eivers have taken care of me every step of the way in my recovery – including during the window that I was temporarily uninsured. I can’t not thank the team and staff enough for getting me back to 100% and the work they have done for me and my family!
