“The staff at Olympia Physical Therapy are the Best! They came to me highly recommended by a friend and now I can say based on my own experiences that I concur with her praises completely. I’ve gone to OPT for rehab with two different injuries and each time they have helped me heal with great results. My husband was also recently referred to OPT following a knee replacement surgery and he has had an extremely good experience. The PT’s (I’ve worked with Tracy & Steve) are extremely knowledgeable, in fact all staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and always respectful and kind. Altogether they have created a super positive and fun environment and they are truly amazing! If you every need P.T., I would highly recommend Olympia Physical Therapy”.
"For the past 8 weeks, I have been going to see Steve Robbins, M.P.T. at their Tumwater location for PT on my shoulder. I am extremely pleased with the results and the service I received. OPT is an excellent organization, staffed by professional therapists who not only are very good at their craft but also are kind, friendly and caring. Each of you have friends, clients or patients that have had or soon will have elective or necessary surgeries. I strongly encourage you to send then to OPT for follow-up treatment. Be aware that the potential PT patient HAS A CHOICE as to where to receive their PT treatment. In my case, my orthopedic surgeon, simply handed me a sheet of paper and said "go get physical therapy". I suggest that your choice should be OPT for a variety of positive reasons. At OPT you may be seen by different therapists as to your various treatments and the good news is that they are all exceptional people you will enjoy working with. One factor that stands out is that the OPT facilities are extremely clean in every respect. They also have a variety of exercise equipment to deal with any type of injury recovery. The typical patient at OPT is probably dealing with knee, hip, shoulder, back, etc. problems. OPT is not limited to only certain types of rehabilitations."
"This was such a great place to come for recovery. The staff and therapists could not have been more friendly and supportive. The atmosphere in the gym was so positive and upbeat. They accommodated all personalities and communication styles as well as physical injury needs. I highly recommend Olympia Physical Therapy and Industrial Rehabilitation!"
"I wish I would have known about this clinic years ago! On behalf of myself and my family, I thank Olympia Physical Therapy and Industrial Rehabilitation for giving me the ability to smile and laugh again!"
"This program saved my life. I have spent the last 5 years in excruciating pain. After trying numerous other treatments and clinics, my doctor suggested I try Olympia Physical Therapy and Industrial Rehabilitation. The staff was very supportive and immediately made me feel like they were emotionally invested in my recovery. I can now look for a full-time job.
"This is an excellent facility with a very caring and knowledgeable staff. I've had PT at other locations, and this has been by far the best!"
"After receiving physical therapy for a variety of issues and injuries, I am compelled to write an
unsolicited personal review of Olympia Physical Therapy and Industrial Rehabilitation, Inc.
Frozen Shoulder: After diagnosed with a frozen shoulder, my surgeon performed a “manipulation” on my right shoulder and referred me to Olympia Physical Therapy, I requested my surgeon refer me to the “best” and most experienced physical therapist in the Olympia area. I was referred to Steve Robbins, M.P.T., and received treatment for a period of two months that ended with instructions on home exercises. The result was full recovery from my frozen shoulder and the ability to fully raise my right arm over my head.
Rotator Cuff Tear: After a follow-up with my surgeon for the frozen shoulder, I underwent an elective surgery to clean up the right shoulder (from the manipulation procedure) and he discovered I had a tear to the rotator cuff. Following surgery, I once again was referred to Olympia Physical Therapy for physical therapy. During the healing process, my shoulder started to revert back to another “frozen shoulder”. The surgeon, in consultation with Steve Robbins, M.P.T. decided to increase the level of physical therapy in an attempt to stop the frozen shoulder. The end result was a very aggressive but effective physical therapy treatment plan that not only stopped the frozen shoulder, but also allowed me to regain full mobility of my shoulder. Most people did not believe this was possible.
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) and Spinal Stenosis: After being diagnosed with DDD and Spinal Stenosis, I underwent spinal fusion surgery to my C4-C5 vertebra at the University of Washington Hospital and was again referred to Olympia Physical Therapy. In my opinion, the physical therapy and
treatment after this kind of surgery is a lot more delicate and personalized and required greater expertise by someone with specialized training and experience, so again, I selected Steve Robbins, M.P.T. as my physical therapist. After nearly three months of PT, I was able to regain 80%-90% of the
mobility of my neck and back. I have friends that have undergone the same surgical procedure, but failed to follow-up with PT, and now have limited mobility of their neck.
Traffic accident and injury to C4-C6: Shortly after a follow-up appointment with my surgeon (9 months out of spinal surgery and still healing), I was rear-ended in an auto accident and needed another spinal fusion, this time to my C4-C6. I once again was referred to Olympia Physical Therapy, I am now able to resume most of my physical activities and have regained nearly all the mobility in my neck.
Leg, feet, hand and arm numbness: During my yearly physical, my primary physician determined there was another shift in my neck/spine causing my legs, feet, arms and hands to go numb. As a result, my physician referred me to Olympia Physical Therapy again. This was in an attempt to regain the strength in my back and neck before seeing another surgeon for a possible 3 rd spinal surgery. During a three month period at Olympia Physical Therapy, again under the supervision of Steve Robbins, M.P.T., I was able to significantly gain strength in my neck and back. I also reduced my weight by 31 pounds. All the numbness previously reported is gone. The best news is, after having an MRI, there is no longer a need to undergo a third spinal surgery. I attribute these results to the personalized treatment, motivation and PT I received from Olympia Physical Therapy.
5 Stars: If you are in need of physical therapy, whether due to injury, surgery or post-surgery complications, I cannot recommend a better group of highly trained professionals as those at Olympia Physical Therapy and Industrial Rehabilitations, Inc. Having been to several other physical therapy facilities, I can say without a doubt that Olympia Physical Therapy is second to none. If you want the best physical therapy with positive results come check them out."
"I always had a problem finding a good PT place, until I came here (Hawk's Prairie Physical Therapy). The staff is wonderful. I love the idea of being able to do land and pool exercises. I enjoy the freedom of working at my own pace."
"The positive, high energy environment of the clinic facilitates individual achievement as well as camaraderie with fellow patients and the rehab team. Life is full of twists and turns that don't always make sense, but Hawk’s Prairie Physical Therapy helped this weekend warrior get back to this beautiful mess we call life. For that, I am extremely grateful."
"In my opinion, Hawk's Prairie Physical Therapy is the best physical therapy facility and staff in the area."
"Each patient receives personalized treatment plans that adjust throughout the healing process as needed. Highly recommend (Hawk's Prairie Physical Therapy) to all my friends and family.
"When I injured my knee in a skiing accident, I couldn't imagine being able to return to doing so many of the activities that I enjoy... biking, hiking, gardening, tennis, let alone skiing. Now 4 months later, I've reached that light at the end of the tunnel, which you all consistently assured me that the day would come when I could once again return to my functional and fun activities. You all gave me hope when I needed it. I could not have overcome this difficult challenge without all of you pouring your skills, knowledge, support, and care into my rehab."
"The staff at Hawk's Prairie is great to work with. I looked forward to my next visit prior to the end of my session because of their high level of professionalism and also because they were all very friendly, approachable and easy to talk with. I recommend Hawk's Prairie Physical Therapy & Athletic Rehabilitation to anyone looking to get back up to speed and back on the court, it worked for me! I like that they (Northwest Sports Medicine Center) get right to the root of the problem and fix it as soon as possible and let me know why they are doing, what they are doing, and how it will get me back to play quicker."
"The staff was very professional and friendly. The variety of machines such as VertiMax, the pool, cardio and weight machines are incredible. I really feel Hawk's Prairie Physical Therapy & Athletic Rehabilitation made the difference in getting me back on the field. I played college football and went to Hawk's Prairie Physical Therapy & Athletic Rehabilitation after an injury sidelined me. The staff at Hawk's Prairie really helped to get me strong and back up to speed. Using their great equipment and facility, I was able to return to play ahead of schedule and stronger than I have ever been."
"You all are an extraordinary team, serving those of us who need all of your skills and professional guidance. The daily care you give to each and every patient is full of empathy, respect, and genuinely meeting each of our needs, even though they may change while in therapy or day to day. Thank you for working with me throughout my recent knee replacement recoveries with such care, humor, professionalism and constant encouragement. You are a rare group and I am so so fortunate to have your care."
