What Patients Are Saying

  • "I’ve never had a therapist with his help or experience before."

    “After spending close to 25 years with different therapists, my MTI Therapist was the best and most helpful one that I’ve ever had. He always explained the procedure and what we hoped to achieve with each exercise we did. I’ve never had a therapist with his help or experience before.”

    - Michael K.
  • "I am getting the best service possible."

    “My Therapist was highly communicative about my care and seemed genuinely concerned about my health. He consistently ensured that each session was valuable and asked for feedback appropriately.

  • “Scott changed my life! I had back pain previous to my pregnancy that got WAY worse after I delivered. I couldn’t bend over a sink to wash my hands or pick up my daughter. I couldn’t stand up straight at the worst of it. But after 4 or 5 months of working with Scott, I can honestly say I can do anything. I even went to some batting cages with my husband with NO pain! His method and techniques are very doable and he is very respectful and understanding. Honestly a life-changing experience.”

    - Savannah S.
  • "I don’t think MTI can be any better!"

  • "I enjoy and strive to get me back to doing what I love!"

    - Brian R.
  • “I have been seeing Scott at MTIPT for the last 20 years through 2 knee surgeries, 3 hip replacements and countless other sports-related injuries.  Each and every time MTIPT has been able to get me back to my previous activity levels pain-free and with full function. I am a firm believer in the benefits of the Manual Therapy approach to rehabilitation. Scott and the Team at MTIPT have a flawless track record of addressing my physical issues and ailments and getting me back to health and full function.”

    - Scott P.

    “My Physical Therapist is absolutely the most friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, timely and in my opinion, the BEST therapist there is! I have been to two other therapists (at other companies), so I do have others to compare him to. Guess what? There is no comparison – he is super great!!”

    - Sally F.

    - Angela M.
  • “Brian is a terrific therapist.”

    - Masi F.
  • “I was referred by my physician to have PT at MTI because of a bad left knee injury. It took 3 months for myself to make a decision to just get PT done because I ultimately was too stubborn to go. I was not disappointed. Greg Louie has been totally great to work with! He looked at the whole picture, not only focusing on my knee injury but also working to help my right ankle pain that was starting from compensating for the injury. He was meticulous in assessing joint movement and figuring out which exercises in-session and at home would be beneficial. And when I had questions, he was able to efficiently explain to me where and why we’re focusing exercises or movements on these specific parts of the body. It has been 2 months and I have just been successfully discharged with zero pain in both knee and ankle. Their office and staff are clean and friendly. They always wipe down equipment after every use. Everyone wears masks and check temperatures. Location is great, and there are plenty of street parking around. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs PT to see Greg and the team at MTI! Thank you guys so much!”

    - Genalyn A.
  • “I’ve been seeing Alison G. for a herniated disc for a couple of weeks and I am extremely grateful for not only the physical treatment, but also being an amazing human being that motivates me mentally.

    - Sandy H.
  • “I’ve received excellent care are MTI working with Sean. He’s friendly and professional and has helped me to feel and move so much better. Very glad that MTI accepts Regence health insurance and I have the privilege of coming here for treatment.”

    - Nicole L.
  • “I was referred to Jim by my Doctor after I told him that my current physical therapist wasn’t doing anything for me. My Doctor said “these aren’t your ordinary physical therapists – they really know what they’re doing.” I gave them a shot and I was not disappointed! The first thing Jim does is ask how I’ve been feeling, he then works on my back with manual therapy techniques and then takes me to “the fun house” to do some weight training. I immediately noticed a difference in my back pain, my posture and my strength. He showed me a few exercises to keep doing at home and told me he didn’t want to see me back! I really liked Jim because he listened, paid attention to my weaknesses and my pain and he’s a HUGE 12th man! Highly recommend this office and Jim!”

    - Jessica R.
  • “I had a very sudden onset shoulder pain hit me at the worst possible time, right before a dance performance and I was really worried because I didn’t know what was wrong. From the moment I walked into the clinic, the entire team exuded warmth and professionalism, making me feel welcome and at ease. I worked with John, who always took the time to thoroughly assess my concerns, attentively listening to my specific issues and helped me find workarounds when needed. When I left my very first session, I remember walking back to my car and suddenly I felt a wave of relaxation wash down my neck and shoulders and down my back, which I can only describe as blissful. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for John’s expertise, his skillful techniques seemed to unlock tension and tightness that I had been carrying for far too long and helped me strengthen muscles I’d never felt before. I think my posture is even better (less tech neck) I always looked forward to sessions. I would highly recommend!! Thank you John!”

    - Aariel R.
  • “I had some physical therapy sessions with John Bernhardt at MTI Physical Therapy in Bellevue. He is a fantastic therapist.”

    - Pradeep A.
  • “I’ve always liked MTI for my physical therapy needs. The facility is nice and clean, and has all the necessary equipment. Anika is amazing! She really takes the time to understand how I’m doing, what’s bothering me and how I’m progressing, and makes adjustments to my exercises based on that. I love that she’s also a runner and mountaineer; I feel like she just “gets it” and is helping me get out there and enjoy the outdoors. She’s patient, kind and knowledgeable. I’m lucky to have found her. Yes, PT is hard but conversation with her makes it enjoyable.”

    - Karla Daniela M.
  • “I went to Matt Plantinga at MTI Physical Therapy on referral from UW Sports Medicine for a persistent and painful stiff neck issue. Matt and his staff have been fabulous. He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient focused. He has been great about explaining what and why we are doing certain exercises. I have experienced a drastic improvement in my neck in the few weeks I have been going to MTI. I would highly recommend Matt and MTI to any and everyone that has any bio-mechanical and pain related issues that they are committed to addressing.”

    - Philip P.
  • “MTI is awesome! I have worked at and have even been treated at other physical therapy clinics in the past where the therapist is treating multiple patients at the same time so only 1/3 of your time is with the therapist and 2/3 is with the assistant. Not here! 100% of your time is with the therapist! And, of course, I can’t leave out my therapist – Alli Gibbons. After treating my back following a motor vehicle accident, I did not hesitate returning to her for help with a stubborn left ankle. I like that she is patient and really listens! After about 5 visits for my ankle, I talked to the dr and to her. On my next visit, she changed things up and so far I’ve seen huge results! If you’re in need of physical therapy and want to get better, go to MTI and see Alli!”

    - David D.
  • “Tyler is a great physical therapist! I was coming from a clinic where they did a team based approach so I was constantly jumping back and forth between therapists but my experience with Tyler was completely different than that! He made sure to actively listen to my concerns and updated my workouts frequently and incorporated the equipment I had available. Thanks to Tyler, I am well on my way to recovery and have made great strides while under his care!”

    - Makaiya R.
  • “The past month has been a great experience at MTI Physical Therapy at First Hill! My PT, Doug, has been great too! I’m still recovering from a broken kneecap. After my warmup, he pushed me just enough with different exercises, emphasizing proper form and technique. He has made my recovery fun – he’s very encouraging and friendly!! Thank you — I look forward to our future sessions!”

    - Michael S.
  • “Brandt is a very thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable therapist. Would recommend him to everyone.”

    - Jim D.
  • “I was instantly impressed with MTI Physical Therapy “”‘s facility. It’s super clean and all the equipment seems newer. The staff are great and I cannot say enough about Christy. Christy was so compassionate about my neck pain. I didn’t have an injury necessarily, but had severe pain in my neck at the base of my skull. I had very little range of motion and it was interfering with my ability to workout and work. Christy actually figured out that I had a facet joint issue and with physical manipulation and combined exercises for me to do both in the facility and on my own, I am now vastly improved! Thank you Christy for everything!”

    - Cheri N.
  • “I have had nagging calf and back issues from track and Dan Druckhammer was the perfect solution. He did manual therapy and gave me exercises which allowed me to finish my track season strong and begin my summer training injury-free instead of beat up. If you are looking for top notch doctors who stay up with all the latest studies and are always learning to stay at the cutting edge of Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, look no further.”

    - Luke P.
  • “I Love working at MTI Physical Therapy because I have a full hour to work with patients, which allows me the time I need to make an accurate diagnosis and treat effectively.”

    - Sarah Olson, PT, MSPT
  • “I highly recommend MTI Physical Therapy – Stuart Eivers is amazing. He is personable, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable. I’m always amazed by how he can find my trouble spots without me giving him specific information beyond the general “it’s my neck” or “it’s my knee.” He not only works with his patients during the scheduled appointments but also sends you home with exercises to do between sessions with him. I just can’t say enough good things about him and the clinic!”

    - Diane U.
  • “Dr. Rett Nicolai was supportive of my needs and an incredible listener. He adapted his treatment multiple times based on how my injuries were progressing, which led to a speedy recovery and fixing even more than I had hoped coming into PT. He gave me exercises and techniques that will set me up for life should I ever have to face similar issues in the future.”

    - Jacob W.
  • “What amazing progress I made at MTI over the past months! I had a car accident and was referred to MTI. I’d had a lot of PT in the past but this was different as it included manual therapy, which I think was key for me. Every exercise I was given as homework made a big difference in how I moved and how I felt. Working with Anna Fitzgerald was a real blessing: She’s super sharp, knows the body, is a great listener, and brings a good sense of humor for those awkward positions/moments. I feel so much better and have been able to get back to activities I thought I never would. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and MTI for anyone who is experiencing pain and wants to feel good again.”

    - Lauri J.
  • “Exceptional, professional, courteous service! The staff at MTI are really wonderful. For Physical Therapy, I’ve worked with Wendy rehabilitating both of my shoulders following torn rotator cuff surgeries. Today was my second to last appointment and I am SO grateful for Wendy’s PT expertise. At each stage of recovery, she knew what to do to make me feel comfortable, safe and well taken care of. And, my shoulders are doing great! I am so thankful and would not hesitate to recommend MTI to anyone! In fact, I have recommended MTI a number of times to a number of friends over the year and everyone else raves about them as well. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. Thanks MTI! Thanks Wendy! Thanks to the whole team for making me feel welcome every time I was there.”

    - Brian R.
  • “I have been at MTI for nearly 20 years. It’s been a great environment for me to not only grow as a clinician & form lasting relationships with patients, but also to be a part of a supportive family that’s always looking to learn & grow.”

    - Matt Hatscher, PT, MPT, MOMT / Physical Therapist & Steering Member – Bellevue Clinic
  • “You won’t find a better work environment than MTI. For one thing, there is an overall sense of care at MTI. Not just from owners and management but from everyone in the office. In terms of professional growth, you have PTs who are just starting out in their first year of sports/manual therapy residencies, PTs who have taught classes all over the world and everyone in between. In terms of clinic feel, I think that you get a lot of the positives you might find in self-employment, including overall autonomy and schedule management, but still have the support that you would expect in working at a bigger clinic.”

    - Michael Okada, PT, DPT, OMT, FAAOMPT / Physical Therapist – Bellevue Clinic
  • “I got into Physical Therapy to help people. Working at MTI gives me the best chance to help people – they allow us time to work with patients and get best results; they encourage us to go above and beyond with our own education and skill development in ways that help our patient base (and ourselves). And it’s fun to come to work! I get to work with awesome people!”

    - Matt Wood, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, B. / Osteopathy Physical Therapist – First Hill Clinic
  • “Woven into the fabric of MTI is a consistent pursuit of clinician development (amongst others) and this is embedded into the MTI Sports Physical Therapy Residency Program. I wanted to know the “WHY” when thinking critically and clinically, and not just have a set of techniques to perform hoping they would work. I believe the MTI Sports Residency helped me understand the “WHY” better than I could have wanted when I first thought about residency! If a clinician has the desire to develop within the realm of sports and orthopedic physical therapy, MTI is a great place to continue their journey!”

    - Jimmy Higginson, PT, DPT / Physical Therapist & MTI Sports Residency Graduate – First Hill Clinic
  • “I’ve been with MTI for 14 years now because of how people-first the owners and management have always been. The culture of caring, not only for our patients but also for each other, is what makes this place so phenomenal. I am very proud to be a part of this team! “

    - Trisha Altenburg, Billing Manager
  • “Jimmy was a huge help and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of physical therapy!”

    - Adam K.
  • “I’ve been a part of MTI for over 10 years now, primarily in an admin/front office capacity. I have loved getting to work side-by-side with very incredible physical therapists over the years. By observing their dedication to patient care, I have so much respect for this profession and a deepened understanding of the importance physical therapy plays in one’s recovery process. Seeing their passion always motivated me to come in ready to help and make a difference in their patient’s day. Although my role has changed and I am more behind the scenes, I enjoy contributing to making MTI an amazing place to work.”

    - Jackie Gibson, Admin Manager
  • “Prior to completing my Sports Residency program at MTI Physical Therapy I didn’t have
    confidence in my clinical decision making, manual therapy interventions and exercise selection. For athletes who had atypical presentations or were not responding to treatment, I didn’t know how to adjust outside of a few go to manual therapy techniques and exercises. I didn’t feel confident in my ability to problem solve, which made me second guess all of my choices or double down on bad clinical decisions. I was also frustrated by all of the conflicting information and opinions in the world of outpatient PT.

    MTI’s sports residency program gave me a very strong theoretical framework for manual therapy and exercise selection, which allowed me to get to the right interventions faster for easier patients and to adjust as needed for more complex patients. The sports residency was very thorough. It extensively covered evaluation, manual therapy and exercise intervention from head to toe, for both clinical interventions and return to play concepts. The approach for evaluation and treatment is not a “one size fits all approach,” but trains the clinician in a framework that over time, allows you to reason through any patient presentation. Additionally, mentoring sessions are one-on-one for a full hour 2-3 times per week, which provides ample in-person opportunities to get real-time feedback on concepts and
    techniques covered during class. 

    I had an “aha” moment while I was treating a patient with classic subacromial impingement who had restricted and painful shoulder elevation. My normal interventions of inferior glides and shoulder ER were not resolving the issue, and it was a struggle to figure out how to proceed. Jim encouraged me to evaluate and mobilize the SC and AC joints. I awkwardly went about evaluating and mobilizing the SC and AC joint, not expecting anything to change due to the subtle nature of these joint mobilizations. To my complete and utter surprise, my patient achieved greater elevation with reduced pain immediately, and made steady progress from that day forward. This experience highlighted the power of manual therapy and helped me buy into the importance of evaluating and appropriately treating all the joints in a biomechanical chain, not just treating the sore spot.

    Now that I have graduated, I am a much more confident and efficient therapist. I am able to more quickly identify the pathology and primary contributing impairments, apply the appropriate interventions at the correct time, and my patients and athletes get better faster. When they are not progressing, it is easier for me to problem solve and make the necessary adjustments, versus endlessly second guessing my clinical decision making. There is always more to learn, but the MTI sports residency program helped me to establish a rock-solid framework that has been absolutely instrumental for my growth as a therapist up to this point. Outside of my clinical work, the sports residency has given me the knowledge base and confidence to become a clinical mentor for other physical therapists, a competent CI for PT students, and has prepared me to sit for the SCS examination.”

    - Kyle Buckham, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT
  • “Luke is an excellent therapist! Very kind, skilled and works with you patiently. I highly recommend MTI!”

    - Martin K.
  • “To say that I’ve had an exceptional experience with Karyn at MTI’s Pelvic Health & Performance Center is a major understatement. Not only is Karyn a knowledgeable and thorough PT who has helped me understand and improve my pelvic floor health following my first child’s delivery, she’s also an incredibly compassionate and kind care professional. She has an acute understanding of how the mind and the body are connected and need to be treated together, and she’s really taught me so much about myself. I cannot recommend her enough. If you need pelvic health support, look no further!”

    - Jenny B.
  • “Dr. Julie Baron is not only the best PT I’ve ever had but she has the best bedside manner of any health care provider I’ve experienced. As a new mom she helped me during the very vulnerable post-partum stage and helped me navigate prolapse and vaginismus. She did wonders for both my physical and mental health. After a few months with Julie, I have a better understanding of my own body and feel better than I did before ever having kids. My only regret was not seeing her before giving birth!”

    - Kristen H.
  • "MTI is different than the others and they are the best in the business."

    “Because of old and new injuries, a surgeon referred me to MTI. I’ve had P-T from 3-4 places but the surgeon said it best; MTI is different than the others and they are the best in the business. Sarah and Matt are expert therapists, and the level of care they bring to the job is impressive. And the rest of the staff is friendly, helpful and thorough too. The staff is truly “blue-chip stock” and hope that management gives them raises for the quality of service they offer their clients. Thanks, Sarah & Matt and best wishes.”

    - Russ P.
  • "My life has been forever enriched by working with Christine."

    “Christine Taylor is the best Physical Therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve experienced several due to multiple body challenges. The only reason I can function as a yoga teacher and person with chronic migraines triggered by tension in my neck, back and shoulders is because of Christine’s healing hands and body movement wisdom. She has taught me how to move pain free while building strength and flexibility where it is needed. Christine always listens to my questions and concerns and then responds with well thought out answers and inventive ideas to help me. My life has been forever enriched by working with Christine. Thank you for all you have done. You are the best!”

    - Leslie B.
  • "I've gotten treatment at MTI "" on and off for years. It's my go to place for PT."

    “I’ve gotten treatment at MTI “” on and off for years. It’s my go to place for PT. I always ask for Christine Taylor. She’s the best. Very knowledgeable, patient and goes above and beyond what is expected of her. I highly recommend MTI “”.”

    - Carin L.
  • "I always felt better when I left and could see my progress over time."

    “I saw Sarah Olson. She was great. She knew what I needed in the way of PT and worked me pretty hard. I always felt better when I left and could see my progress over time. I liked that she didn’t make me feel guilty if I didn’t do all the exercises because Ultimately it was up to me.”

    - Barbara W.
  • “I’ve had the best experience at Pelvic Health & Performance Center! Clare is AMAZING and has helped tremendously with my low back and pelvic pain. Highly recommend!”

    - Diana P.
  • "Hopefully, we will not need these services in the future but it is nice to know MTI will be there if we do!"

    “Both my wife and I have used and recommend MTI PT, and, in particular Maren Kludt. In my case, I suffered from chronic low back pain, and my wife was recovering from shoulder surgery. The office is clean, well run, and the staff is universally professional and friendly. After an initial evaluation, Maren determined a specific in-clinic regimen of therapy and exercise, and developed a clear set of complementary at-home therapy and maintenance exercises. In both cases, the results have been highly successful. Hopefully, we will not need these services in the future but it is nice to know MTI will be there if we do!”

    - Scott H.
  • "Her help has given me confidence and hope!"

    “I have been seeing Sarah Colon at MTI physical therapy for back pain. I was skeptical at first as to how this could really help. I’m so pleased that Sarah’s instruction, along with a really good home program has nearly eliminated my pain and has motivated me to continue the exercise program indefinitely. Her help has given me confidence and hope! Thank you Sarah!”

    - Cindy S.
  • "I have only great things to say about my experience."

    “I’ve been seeing Eric for my back and neck problems and have only great things to say about my experience. I would highly recommend seeing him.”

    - Veronika Z.
  • "I feel confident that with his guidance, I will be able to both solve my problem, and prevent future problems similar to this."

    “I was referred here to Matt from a friend who is a physical therapist. I was having right shoulder and neck issues and was unsure whether to see a PT, sports medicine doc, or a chiropractor. I am really glad to have sought care here first. Matt was able to do a thorough evaluation and provide treatment in our first visit. He demonstrated excellent knowledge and professionalism. He gave me some exercises that will help me stretch and strengthen the susceptible areas. I feel confident that with his guidance, I will be able to both solve my problem, and prevent future problems similar to this. Thanks Matt!”

    - Luke D.
  • “Kayaking and hiking injuries to a shoulder and a knee sent me to Peter at MTI Physical Therapy – Issaquah. I was extremely impressed with Peter right from the beginning — his training, experience, and manner. At our initial session, we had a productive give-and-take about my issues. Then he did careful manual assessments and made a thorough evaluation. The therapy plan, including a series of exercises Peter designed for me to do at home, has been very effective. It’s been great working with Peter — a real collaboration, which is what I was looking for.”

    - Tim W.
  • "I was able to return to my favorite hiking."

    “I was a long time due for the review for Andrea and Mike. I was working with Andrea primary, but I would give Mike 5 stars as well, I saw him a few times. As well as office staff. Great place! I came to this MTI office after visiting a different office (physical therapy not MTI) with no success. I am a pretty dedicated person and worked following all recommendations of another therapist with NO success. No improvements. Very disappointing. So my last resort was MTI and it was recommended by a wonderful doctor in the Seattle Spine medicine clinic. I completed my rehabilitation program with Andrea in 8 months and got rid of my chronic back pain. I am able to live now pain-free or almost free. They gave me exercise program that I still follow. BUT I don’t have everyday pain! It is almost a year since I completed the program and I feel so much better. If I need to do the exercises the rest of my life I will and I am planning to. Just to live without pain. Andrea is awesome, very thoughtful, really good listener, careful and paying attention to little things and warnings. Oh, and she is very knowledgeable. I started to see improvements in a few weeks after I started the program. Andrea is wonderful person and wonderful doctor. Thank you so much, Andrea! I was able to return to my favorite hiking. Now even better then before, I can hike in the mountains with a heavy load and currently working on my stamina. But I would not be able to do it without MTI. Thank you again! You are the best.”

    - Nat
  • "I highly recommend her, but truly, I've never had a bad experience with an MTI therapist."

    “Unfortunately, I have had the “opportunity” to have physical therapy for several different injuries. I have gone to a few different physical therapists at MTI, and they all have been excellent. I am currently working with Andrea Jones. She’s fantastic. She is good at diagnosing, and talks through what she thinks, how she is approaching the therapy, and why. She is very personable, and manages to turn what could be a tedious weekly event into an enjoyable break in the day. She asks questions and listens, and responds (with a smile) to whatever uncoordinated thing I’ve done that week to undermine my healing. I highly recommend her, but truly, I’ve never had a bad experience with an MTI therapist.”

    - Kim C.
  • Steve is a grade A professional! Very friendly and very knowledgeable, he makes PT fun and relaxing, using every tool at his disposal to get you feeling better within 1 session.

    - Summer T.
  • “My experience at MTI has been very positive. I came to them with severe neck pain and limited mobility. John Bernhardt is friendly and easy to work with. With his guidance, I have worked through almost all of my neck issues. I will continue to visit John at MTI periodically to ensure I stay on track with my recovery. If you are looking for a good physical therapist, I strongly recommend John and the team at MTI.”

    - David M.
  • "I'm currently working with my PT Greg Louie at MTI and it's been all positives!"

    “I’m currently working with my PT Greg Louie at MTI and it’s been all positives! After a fairly catastrophic ski injury that left me in a wheelchair for a few months, Greg has helped me to regain my balance and strengthen my legs. When mobility is hindered there can be a lot of uncertainty that comes with it. In many ways you’re forced to re-learn the skills that were once 2nd nature. Greg’s been able to help my confidence through this as well with understanding, encouragement and kindness. That said, he definitely pushes me to work for this recovery… but that’s a good thing! The staff at MTI are total pros and have also helped me navigate the complicated waters of insurance coverage on a few occasions. They’ve taken all the necessary COVID-related precautions and not once have I felt uncomfortable there given the current circumstances. Everything is super-clean and equipment is immediately wiped down after use. The time spent in-person with Greg at MTI is beyond helpful, but to achieve a full-recovery, I need to work on things on my own. Greg’s been able to offer customized take-home exercise plans that focus on improving targeted flexibility and balance. I’d recommend Greg Louie 100% to anybody who’s looking for an experienced, professional and caring physical therapist.”

    - Michael W.
  • “If you are fortunate to have Samantha as your physical therapist, you will have an amazing recovery!! I have been a client of Sam’s for 16+ years. I will never go anywhere else for physical therapy. She has helped me through a number of issues including neck & shoulder pain, knee pain, & hip replacement. I have had nothing but stellar care from her. She is a very innovative physical therapist utilizing a combo of manual manipulation and gym exercises. I always left each session feeling GREAT! I have been to other physical therapists over the years. They would load me up with exercises only to review them at the next P.T. session. There was never any gym workout and they didn’t seem to care if I was progressing or not. Sam is VERY caring and professional and always made sure my questions were answered and I felt good about my progress. She truly cares about her clients. I liked that she would change up the gym routine from time to time which I felt helped my progress significantly. Sam is THE BEST physical therapist EVER! I give Sam my highest rating. She is the catzmeow!!”

  • "A great place in the neighborhood!"

    “A great place in the neighborhood! I had an awesome experience pre/post 2 separate encounters after total knee replacements. My therapist, Greg, was amazingly knowledgeable and professional and a pleasure to work with. I would go there for any PT needs.”

  • He got my shoulder into better shape than I had hope possible.

    “My PT was great to work with–patient, informative, very clear, and an excellent, sympathetic listener. He got my shoulder into better shape than I had hope possible.”

    “I had a knee injury few months ago, and wasn’t able to walk more than a block. After couple of sessions with Kirsten, I was feeling great and was able to walk comfortably and even hike for miles! I highly recommend Kirsten, she is a great listener and an amazing DPT!”

  • "You’ll be in good care."

    “I came into MTI in bad shape with a severe lower disc bulge and a fused SI joint. After receiving an epidural steroid injection I thought surgery was my next and only step. Katie quickly addressed my condition and reset my mental state that this was fixable with proper therapy and time. I had been visiting a local chiropractor for months with no improvement. After six months I was nearly fully recovered without surgery! Both Katie and James did an amazing job of slowly rebuilding my strength and flexibility which allowed my body to heal. I can’t say enough good things about both of them and the business as a whole. It’s very well run with great people. More recently during pandemic times and the lack of my local gym, James has continued to help me retain my strength and condition. I feel very safe visiting their practice with all of the safety measures implemented. If you are in pain, don’t hesitate to visit. You’ll be in good care.”

  • "She is also very clear is assigning home exercises to keep me on track while at home."

    “I’ve been working with Hanna for several months helping me recover from a major shoulder injury/surgery. Her knowledge and feel around the human body is exceptional knowing exactly how to manipulate and move the shoulder and surrounding joints to show continuous improvement. She is also very clear is assigning home exercises to keep me on track while at home. The rest of the staff is great, and very friendly. Parking is easy and safe.”

  • "I always felt uplifted by the optimism of everyone at MTI and I would recommend Hanna and the MTI team to anyone with any injury."

    “I was in a brutal skiing accident and tore my ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus in my right knee and fractured my femur. It was hard to believe I’d ever be able to walk again, let alone hike, run, or ski. Hanna got me there. I worked with Hanna for 18 months and she taught me how to walk without crutches, gain strength and flexibility in my knee, ride a bike, run, and finally ski again. I was so impressed by her knowledge, experience, and commitment to my recovery. Hanna truly cared about my long-term goals, worked hard to develop an effective plan, and pushed me to improve. But she also listened attentively and was ready with reassurance and new ideas when something wasn’t working. My recovery was a very long and challenging journey with several frustrating setbacks, and I’m so grateful I chose a physical therapist that listened well, motivated me, and made the hard days fun. As a result, I am now a confident hiker, mountaineer, trail runner, and backcountry skier. I am so proud of my amazing recovery and attribute much of it to Hanna’s knowledge, encouragement, support, and patience. I always felt uplifted by the optimism of everyone at MTI and I would recommend Hanna and the MTI team to anyone with any injury.”

  • "I couldn’t be happier with the results."

    “After an ACL and ALL reconstruction surgery to revise a prior failed ACL reconstruction and rehabilitation regimen, I chose MTI Fremont for my rehab. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Each physical therapist was kind, knowledgeable, and patient every step of the way. My physical therapist, James Matson, ensured that I was comfortable and successful throughout all stages of my physical therapy. After 6 knee surgeries, I questioned things every step of the way. James was always patient and reassuring. The mental aspects of recovering from a significant injury are more challenging than the physical aspects, and having a knowledgeable physical therapist who understands each intricate detail of the recovery is paramount to a patient’s success. James cared about my long-term results and did everything to ensure that I was happy about my progress and understanding of the necessary steps to take to ensure quality results. Despite an arduous journey, I can walk away knowing that my health and fitness goals can once again be attained. I recommend this facility to anyone in need of physical therapy due to the unmatched quality of care and quality of available resources.”

  • "I am so glad I found MTI."

    “I have tried a number of physical therapy facilities over the last 5 years for a chronic condition. I am so glad I found MTI. Their approach-a combination of manual therapy, tailored exercises, the use of technology to allow me to see the exercises again and most importantly, caring/professional therapists and staff-has made a huge difference in my well being. Robin McGuire has been amazing. I really appreciate her ability to listen and respond to my needs, her follow-up, her patience, and her intuitive ability to develop a unique program that I haven’t experienced at other facilities. My body is much stronger now with less pain and I feel I have also received the education now to help myself going forward. It is comforting to have MTI as a part of my wellness team going forward.”

  • “I had a total knee replacement in late Sept 2020 and by year end I was still experiencing significant pain, the knee was locking up, not able to perform normal activities and generally miserable. I was given a recommendation to go to Dan Druckhammer, which I did starting the first week of Jan 2021. My progress has been remarkable through mid February. The constant pain is gone, the strength in my leg/knee has returned, I can walk up / down stairs, I am back to being active around the house. I cannot say enough about the positive difference it has been working with Dan Druckhammer.”

    “MTI came highly recommended by a friend and didn’t disappoint. I worked with Derek on a shoulder issue I’ve had for years. I was skeptical that I wouldn’t be able to correct it with PT, but Derek remained positive and came up with creative plans that worked well for me and my goals. Definitely recommend MTI to anyone!”

  • “I’ve always been happy and would recommend MTI to anyone looking for a PT. Every PT I’ve worked with in MTI has been wonderful and I’ve always had a positive experience. Specifically for my running needs, finding Robin has been a true blessing. I cannot stop talking about her to my running friends! When I first came to see her I was having a nagging knee pain that had forced me to stop running and walk instead. That pain went from 8 to 4 in one session. I was blown away by her knack to find what the problem was in 10 minutes and fix it in the next 5. She gave me a couple of exercises and now the knee problem is no more. Other stuff has been popping here and there as she continues fixing my running form, but it’s been going smoothly and I trust that I can get as far as my dreams take me under her care. In addition to regular PT I decided to pay out of pocket to get the running evaluation. And I did that because I trust her. She made a plan as to what things we would start working first and we’ve been working on that. Robin has a talent; she just gets and understands running so well. I had never met anyone like her. I also appreciate that she has a concise treatment plan that I can continue following, prioritizing exercises as we go. I’m sure I will continue seeing her for checkups even after I “graduate”. And to top it off, she’s so personable; it’s been so easy working with her.”

  • "I have just been successfully discharged with zero pain in both knee and ankle."

    “I suffered a bad left knee injury while taking my engagement photos in the mountains in August. After wearing a knee brace and grinning through the pain for a few months as a bedside nurse, I knew I had to do something about it, especially since my right ankle was now getting painful from compensating for the injury. Decided to start PT with Greg Louie at the end of November and I was definitely happy that I did! Greg looked at the whole picture, not only focusing on my knee injury but also working to help my right ankle pain. He was meticulous in assessing joint movement and figuring out which exercises in-session and at home that would be beneficial. And when I had questions, he was able to efficiently explain to me where and why we’re focusing exercises or movements on these specific parts of the body. It has been 2 months and I have just been successfully discharged with zero pain in both knee and ankle. Their office and staff are clean and friendly. They always wipe down equipment after every use. Everyone wears masks and check temperatures. Location is great, and there are plenty of street parking around. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs PT to see Greg and the team at MTI!”

  • “I am eighty-three and my wife is eighty. We have experienced the effects of age, surgeries, and diabetes upon our bodies. And then, along came Sheila! Whatever our issues for the week have been, she has been able to find the source of our problems, point out the interconnectedness of our other complaints, walk us through exercises that address them, and send us home to work on them and wait for the next problem(s) to surface. Dr. Oberhardt is knowledgeable, gracious, flexible, and has a wonderful sense of humor…as well as extraordinarily strong hands. She utilizes all of those traits in her treatments of us.”

  • "She made a HUGE difference in my mobility."

    “I’ve had several therapists following sarcoma surgery/radiation over past 5 years due to mobility issues. Robin greatly improved my strength and my ability to walk w/o pain, work the muscles w/o injury, and with understanding that everything is connected-she gets that. I would discuss daily difficulties which every time Robin knew how to work with it towards recovery. I cannot praise her enough. Robin’s knowledge, expertise, patient skills, and professionalism are outstanding. She made a HUGE difference in my mobility.”

  • "MTI gets the highest recommendation from me."

    “Never a cookie-cutter solution: Kyle Buckham, my MTI physical therapist, provided exceptional care to help resolve a chronic and painful neck-and-shoulder issue. Each session included hands-on work plus targeted exercises in the office workout space. Kyle also brought his background as an athlete to my treatment plan so that I could incorporate wight-lifting and other activities to my ongoing rehabilitation. MTI gets the highest recommendation from me.”

    - Bruce B.
  • "Thanks everyone at MTI and Kyle in particular!"

    “I highly recommend MTI and Kyle Buckham. This was my first experience with physical therapy. I had a left shoulder injury to which I had almost grown accustomed, but I finally decided to do something about the pain and lack of mobility. Kyle was great – it took a lot of hard work, but I’m now finished with PT and have my shoulder back. I’m continuing to work on it on my own and it’s just getting stronger. Thanks everyone at MTI and Kyle in particular!”

  • "Highly recommended best rehab clinic of the 3 I've been to in Bellevue by far."

    “Robin McGuire has been great and a pleasure to work with following hip and knee surgeries. Like the fact the clinic has you paired with one therapist for each appt. duration rather than passing you off to an aide. Facility is very clean , nice professional friendly relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended best rehab clinic of the 3 I’ve been to in Bellevue by far.”

    - Bob C.
  • "After the first week, my pain was halved."

    “I came to MTI with severe shoulder/arm pain. I worked with Robin and she precisely examined me. I can say after 4-5 months seeing several Dr’s, going to several PT sessions (somewhere else) and doing 2 MRIs, Robin was the first one to clearly diagnose my issue. In the first session, her deep understanding of anatomy of the human body impressed me and helped me trust the new PT. After the first week, my pain was halved and since then I’m working with her and I see clear improvement every week.”

  • "He made the pain I'd had for 20 years go away immediately."

    “Very friendly staff! Absolutely the most elite physical therapists! I had a disc problem preventing me from sleeping on my left side, sitting, or squatting to parallel without pain for over 20 years. Doctors diagnosed me with degenerative back disease. I saw Brian Power at MTI. He made the pain I’d had for 20 years go away immediately. I eventually injured myself again; but Brian taught me how to fix tiny weaknesses that led to the pain. Any time I’ve gotten lazy and aggravated the old injury, he’s fixed it again. 4 years later and at least 10 visits later and I love the expert care here so much that I’ve made a 90 minutes drive past 30 other physical therapists to be seen at MTI Fremont! Highest recommendation!”

  • "I highly recommend Anne as well as the other therapists at MTI."

    “I have been a patient at MTI for a couple different issues over the course of the last 5 years and have always received excellent care. I recently moved to Pullman and was having problems with neck pain, and after trying a couple PTs in Pullman and Spokane, I contacted Anne Healzer to see what she thought. She was very helpful over the phone and I decided the trip to Seattle would be worthwhile. It definitely was. Anne took plenty of time to get a good history from me, and proceeded to do a very thorough evaluation of my condition. She educated me on the problem, gave me specific exercises to address it and encouraged me to check back in with her to assess my progress. She also did some treatment which left me feeling better than when I arrived. I am in the medical field, and I have to say Anne is not only extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the body, but she is also a very good listener and communicator, which to me is just as important. I highly recommend Anne as well as the other therapists at MTI. I am very satisfied with the care I have received there.”

  • "It’s relieving to feel “heard”, as for years I was told my symptoms were due to scoliosis, and there was nothing I could do about it."

    “I suffered a disc bulge on my L5 vertebrae ten years ago and have been living with chronic bilateral hip/glute pain, and intermittent back pain ever since. I’m super thankful to Josh Setterbo, PT, DPT at MTI PT Bellevue for the progress I’ve made so far after only six visits. I have more muscle mass, less pain and more stability from the work we’ve done. It’s also really relieving to feel “heard”, as for years I was told my symptoms were due to scoliosis, and there was nothing I could do about it. I love that MTI incorporates chiropractic manual techniques, massage therapy, as well as exercise rehabilitation. It’s like getting a chiropractor, massage therapist and physical therapist all for the price of one. I have experienced nothing but excellent bedside manner and professionalism from Josh, and have witnessed the same while sharing the gym (socially distanced) and seeing how other therapists interact with their patients.”

I spend 10 to 12 hours a day on a computer at my business. I had severe pain from my neck and shoulder that sent numbness to my forearm and wrist for nearly 12 months. The pain was consuming, affecting my work and sleep. Through a series of exercises and completely trouble shooting my daily routine, I began getting better and better over a period of just weeks. In tweaking my routine and making time for exercises specific to me, she brought me back to 100%. She was entirely focused on fixing me and made it happen. Very professional doctor and a terrific person. I could not be more thankful.”
