TESTIMONIALS

Olympia Physical Therapy

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right knee and needed to strengthen the muscles to help support my knee. First, I have to say I would've never gone to OPT if it weren't for Cherie at the front desk. I'm on a limited income and she helped me  figure out how much PT would be for me. She was so kind and patient—she was professional and personable and I felt confident coming to OPT for help. I'd been to another facility in the past, for a different problem, and I quit early because of the bad experience I had there. I came in to OPT not sure if I was going to like it any better but I did. Everyone there truly cared for my well being. And friendly? My gosh everyone there was so friendly! I was laughing through my workouts and that made it so pleasant to be there. I became stronger and my knee doesn't hurt as badly as it did and it's getting better all the time with further work. Thanks to Cherie, Janet, Rich, Alex, Sam, Vince, Annie, Bill and Steve. A great team!

—Tammy Workman, Osteoarthritis patient, 51 years old

No other place has a more professional, cohesive and fun to work with staff as I experienced during my time in the work hardening program at OPT. Their expertise allowed me to regain my strength to go back to my old job. I would not hesitate to recommend OPT’s work hardening program to anyone who has been injured on the job and needs professional service that is second to none in getting people back to work.

—Greg Wight, Work Hardening Program

I want to thank you and your staff for your help and hard work in speeding along my recovery from a recent total hip replacement. I found all members of your staff to be competent, helpful and dedicated in assisting all your clients. This was my second hip replacement. After the first surgery I participated in physical therapy at a local leading health club. Your program—and staff to implement it—is vastly superior to theirs.

—R.C., Postoperative hip replacement, 76 years old

My wife and I would like to take the opportunity to express our profound thanks for the rehab therapy to get back to a healthy recovery for her hip replacement and my hip injury. Your caring and knowledgeable attention exceeded our expectations and proved for a pleasant and rewarding experience. Thanks again.

—L.N. and R.N., Hip injury / Postoperative hip replacement, 58 and 62 years old

Thank you so very much for all that you’ve done to help in my recovery. I don’t think I ever could have made it so far successfully without you.

—J.W., Postoperative hip replacement, 52 years old

A very special thank you to the great healing team here at Olympia Physical Therapy—from the warm welcome at the front desk, to the continuing care throughout the facility. I have appreciated your support, encouragement, wisdom and humor every step of the way. Thank you for everything EACH and ALL of you did for me as my ankle and foot have moved through the healing process. I’ll miss your smiling faces.

—P.

Thanks for getting me back on track! You have a great crew and I felt I was in the best place. Still doing my exercises and I am back to golf, thanks to all of you.

—M.W., Fractured humerus, 79 years old

You are all so awesome! Thanks for being so kind and helpful on my journey to recovery. It feels like family and I am going to miss you all!

—K.E., Lumbar injury on the job, 33 years old

I would like to thank all your staff for being kind, courteous and pleasant. Bottom line: You guys are all great and I would recommend your office to any one.

—S.D., Lower back and neck sprain on the job, 47 years old

Thank you for all you professional care and knowledge. Thanks to each and every one of you for taking a special interest in your patients. I’ve been to many physical therapists, and none compare. This is the best result I’ve ever had. I’ll take from this experience the knowledge of what you have taught me to continue my recovery and go forward. Also, thank you to the front desk staff—to start each morning with a smile and “How are you?”—you make for a pleasant start of the day. Thanks again to all.

—M.D.B., Total knee replacement, 59 years old

Thank you so much for all your great work. Because of you, I am successful in my knee recovery! You use a good combination of skill, knowledge and encouragement to get things accomplished. Thank you again for all you’ve done.

—R.B.

I want to tell you how pleased I am with my physical therapy treatment. My hip really feels good! You do an excellent job. I always enjoyed coming in for my treatment. You all are so cheerful and nice. Just want to say “thank you” for all that you did for me. It is truly appreciated.

Hawks Prairie Physical Therapy

I want to thank all the staff for your sincere care and attention to detail. I can tell that you care about my well-being and progress. Thank you once again and God bless all!

—53-year-old Physical Therapy patient

In comparison to previous Physical Therapy experience at a different facility, this has been a great experience. Brandon, Chris and the rest of the staff took my minor injury seriously and got me back onto the soccer field in no time.

—39-year-old Physical Therapy patient

Keep up what you are doing, excellent work atmosphere. I had a lot of fun
and good workouts.

—66-year-old Physical Therapy patient

You guys have given me a new lease on life! When I had the surgery the most I expected was a decrease in pain, but my mobility has already increased greatly.
I am already walking easier than I have in 20 years. I have been to other PT places and this has been the absolute best. I would recommend you guys to anyone.

—55-year-old Physical Therapy patient

When I heard from the front desk that the facility closed at 5:00pm I looked for another option, however, Brandon and Chris made it clear from the get go that they were willing to stay after 5:00 to accommodate my busy schedule. I am appreciative
of that. They were/are a great team and dedicated to patient care.

—37-year-old Physical Therapy patient

They are a professional, caring and knowledgeable staff and supportive of every client. They’re dependable and have a very clean facility and equipment.

—63-year-old Physical Therapy patient

I was very resistant to try physical therapy for my back problem at first. Back problems run in my family and both my mother and sister have tried physical therapy with no success, sometimes becoming worse in the process. Since coming to HPPT I have informed everyone I know that it’s the best thing to ever happen to my back. My mom wants me to help her find a good PT now when I visit MS again. I love the great staff and will miss coming in every week. It’s been a wonderful experience.

—G.R.J.

I would highly recommend Hawks Prairie Physical Therapy! The whole staff is very friendly, supportive and knowledgeable—with a sense of humor! I would certainly use their services, if necessary in the future.

—68-year-old Physical Therapy patient

I never thought that physical therapy would be so efficient in eliminating
joint discomfort. I am now a believer! Thank you so much for the results, I was
helped to achieve.

—76-year-old Physical Therapy patient

I find everyone friendly and helpful. Everything is explained fully and questions are answered completely. All is clean and neat at all times.

—66-year-old Physical Therapy patient

Northwest Sports Medicine Center

I would like to extend a very large THANK YOU to Bill Linnenkohl, Chris Potvin and all the staff at Northwest Sports Medicine. You helped tremendously in my recovery from a hyper-extension knee injury a month prior to my participation in the Trek Women’s Triathlon. I’m happy to say that the aquatic therapy and all the land-based therapy worked wonders and kept my cardio in condition for the big day—even though I wasn’t running up until race day. My stamina was up to par, as well as my physical ability to achieve my goal in participating in the Tri. I finished the Tri without pain or further injury to my knee and was able to beat my time in last year’s Tri by 1min. 9 sec. Thanks for keeping me in the game!

—P.T., Knee injury patient, NWSMC

The staff was able to communicate to my son at his level to make him feel very comfortable. Very good information and education. Thank you!

—Mother of 14-year-old Physical Therapy patient, NWSMC

I would recommend anyone come to the Northwest Sports Medicine Center for the amazing staff who got me back to 100%. I was really impressed with all the Physical Therapists. They gave me their full attention and really pushed me to get healthy. They helped me get better and made me stronger. I really enjoyed coming in. I will always come here if I need help with any injury.

—17-year-old athlete, NWSMC

Thank you so much for helping me during my ACL surgery. I appreciated the staff keeping me focused, informed and positive through the entire process.
Northwest Sports Medicine Center was a big part of my speedy recovery as well. Thanks to you guys, I am having a great summer baseball season and back on the
field doing what I love to do.

—17-year-old High School Athlete, NWSMC

Hawks Prairie Physical Therapy and Northwest Sports Medicine Center isn’t just a center that works on you then throws you out. They build great relationships that actually make me want to come back. This is my second year coming to this facility and I couldn’t imagine going to another place. They have therapists that are dedicated to sports injuries and I enjoyed that. Not only did they get my knee back to where I need it to be, they work on what I need to improve on in my sport (basketball). This place is great!
