Recommended Posts

A friend is looking for a good sports-oriented physical therapist who would be good with lower back issues, specifically L4/5 disc herniation. anyone have reccomendations?

 

Prefer folks who would be covered by Regence/BlueShield, but I think that is a lot of them.

 

Thanks

Dave

I'd have to disagree about the UW recommendation. I had some severe back issues a few years ago. The UW PTs came up with the usual cookie cutter approaches. Finally I said to one of them "You haven't the slightest idea what's going on here do you (this after 4 visits) and she got flustered and admited she did not.

 

I made the rounds and after 5 "sports PTs" I found the group at Olympic PT on Mercer Island to be excellent. They did a very good diagnostic exam that no other PTs did. After a couple visits there was marked improvement and I keep up with the routine they suggested. Sorry, I don't have the PT names here at work, but they also have an office in the U District I believe and said they have some good back specialists there as well.
