My daughter, a high school athlete, was injured and had been going to physical therapy for months in Olympia (where we live) and going to chiropractor and a massage therapist. Months had gone by with not a lot of marked improvement. As her parents we were very frustrated as she was not getting better and we were putting a lot of money out. We were frustrated that she was frustrated. We were frustrated with the lack of communication from the PT staff and their lackadaisical attitude towards a plan with an end date. We were recommended to Dr. Buckholz. We made the drive up and we are so glad we did. He KNOWS his stuff and better than that - he LISTENS and CARES about his patients. He truly does. He genuinely wants to figure out the problem and you can tell through his warmth and patience that he loves what he does. My daughter was not just another number to him. He explains things in a way we can understand and makes sense. He gave my daughter hope and exercises and stretches to do herself at home to help speed recovery. My daughter continued to drive up to see him and made huge improvements within weeks.She has been released back for full play but still checks in with him occasionally. I can not say enough good things about him and his staff. Theresa is the epitome of a friendly professional. She is super nice to talk to, efficient, and kind. She never makes me feel like I am bugging her and is quick to offer help with scheduling and billing. I cannot say enough positive things about North Harbor PT.

(I need 2 days a week for each injury, so I am there 4 times a week) Normally you would have one physical therapist but they were able to squeeze me in a little bit with everyone. It is a busy place for a reason. Everyone is really nice and focused on helping you achieve your goals. Yesterday I saw Preston (the owner) He was interested in how I got hurt and how to help me get better. I can tell he genuinely cares about the people who go there (both staff and customer). I originally walked in because North Harbor is close to my home but I will contue to go there because of the quality of care. I have already recommended them to someone who is hurting, because (please don't take my time slot) but they are good enough to share with your friends.

They explained things thoroughly and answered all of my questions. They listened to my symptoms and even changed their treatment as my symptoms changed. I never felt like a number to them. I will continue to choose their practice for any future treatments needed.

He was able to check my knee to see what positions were causing pain and determined it was likely a meniscus injury. He suggested some laser treatments.

I still have to tread carefully on stairs or uneven terrain but I'm grateful that it is healing well and look forward to seeing the next level of improvement after a couple more laser treatments.

The entire team at South Sound Physical Therapy has been great to work with. I really like the…read moregenuine kind & positive energy atmosphere (not over-the-top fakey-fake, the team has great working relationships with each other & it is passed on to patients). The ladies (especially Ebony) at the front desk are friendly, efficient, and are willing to work with a client if there's an issue, as long as it's quickly resolved (I forgot my wallet on my first visit). As I come from afar, it's appreciated when the staff is able to work with me if the traffic is horrible (beyond my control, although I give myself 1.5 hrs to commute from south of Olympia, normally 45 min. drive). A++ The therapy technologists are always ready to help, know exactly which exercises to do, how to smoothly transition from one to the next, making it an easier process, and creates a routine for patients to follow- kind of like learning a choreography. My therapist Lani has been invaluable: immediately immersing me in the scientific knowledge regarding my condition, ecstatically answering my many minute detailed questions, and giving me as much detailed information as my brain could absorb (she's passionate about sharing info). This valuably deepened my time, investment, & working with her has been a life changing experience for the better, as I'm able to understand my condition, limits, & how to overcome them in healthy & productive ways vs. continuing to damage & push thru pain. She is VERY GOOD at making hand braces & ensuring they fit right. I had a major plumbing issue a few days after receiving them, and after 3 days of shoveling, my hands & wrists were irritated, but not thoroughly trashed due to the braces' protection & the exercises I had been doing to strengthen my fingers. The next day my hands recovered after a heated tens session, exercises, and adhesion scraping Lani did after carefully evaluating the damage. Overall, I 100% recommend SSPT & IRG to anyone who may need the services they offer. It was definitely worth my time commuting the 1.5 hrs thru bad traffic to get there.

I was rear ended by a teenager who ran a red light and I had to be seen by a Physical Therapy and was sent to this place as recommended by my chiropractor, but the real licensed physical therapist is not here on a regular basis, most especially when I was assigned to him on specific dates the other week and last week! He did not give me care nor PT instructions! only PT aides and receptionist were available to see patients; that is my sad experience with this PT office. So, do NOT expect to be seen by a PT here for there is NONE! no one who will give you care who is a PT! The only ones who will help you are the PT aides, and it seems that I get NO relief from my back pain after two months of "physical therapy" (or pretend physical therapy) at this place.
