What Patients Think About Peter Carlson

"I always get great care "

I have gone to MTI Physical Therapy several times over the years and I always get great care and would recommend them for any of your PT needs.

"my husband is able to live a full active life."

My husband and I are in our 70’s- been around the block a few times with Physical Therapists. Not one has compared to our experience with Peter Carlson. Peter seems to have encyclopedic knowledge of the human body. He always listens carefully to our physical health issues, and is able to help us. We feel safe in Peter’s care performing the delicate body adjustments on our senior bodies, in a very respectful manner. He has shown us patience and diligence. On a human level, we find Peter extremely personable, and caring very much that we get the results we are looking for from P.T. 6 months prior to my husband seeing Peter, he went to various back and pain specialists, who told him that he cannot be helped and he’d have to live with his lower back pain. Enter Peter Carlson. Peter’s help in this matter worked so well that my husband is able to work full time, walk 5-7 miles a day, and live a full active life.

"So knowledgeable, a total professional, and deeply cares"

I started going to MTI at the suggestion of a family member who said ‘you MUST go to MTI, and you MUST see Peter in Issaquah’. I made an appt and knew he was the real deal from the moment I met him. So knowledgeable, a total professional, and deeply cares about finding the root cause and healing his patients. I love that he thinks about overall heath and wellness and his approach to patient care is always collaborative. He’s also just a really nice guy with a warm presence. I mentioned that I had just purchased a bicycle, and he offered me to bring it in to make sure the seat and handle bars we appropriately set up for me. Something I really wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I have now referred several family members and friends to Peter, who have all been equally as impressed with his work. When my parents go to see him, he always asks how I’m doing, and vice versa. Make an appt/ get on his waitlist asap!

"Peter Carlson is Amazing"

Peter Carlson is amazing and the staff at MTI are gracious and incredibly helpful.

- Neda M

"We fully recommend MTI"

Peter at MTI is fantastic. My son has had ankle, shoulder, and back injuries from HS Football and Wrestling. With each injury Peter was able to help him recover and get back out on the field or mat in record time. He always communicates very clearly with us on what the issue is and what we should be doing to fix it as quickly as possible. We fully recommend MTI, especially Peter!

"I have really enjoyed my sessions at MTI"

I have really enjoyed my sessions at MTI in Bellevue. My trainer is knowledgeable and has addressed my concerns. At MTI the focus is on strengthening the whole body, not just the area with the issue, to prevent future injury.

"Best Physical Therapy Ever"

Best and most thorough physical therapy treatment I have ever received.
