    Over two decades I have been to various traditional and alternative practitioners for back pain;…read morechiro's, massage, acupuncture, etc.. I was referred to her by a PT that had seen her and had found complete relief of his symtoms after a handful of visits. Everyone will be different with how they respond... I have been seeing her since Dec '10 somewhat regularly. Dr Lindsay has put me on a path to recovery from my issues in a way that none of my other doctors ever have (I have had neck pain for 20 years that was relieved after the first visit- it still comes back but the frequency is dramatically decreased). She has a very gentle touch but dramatic results. I really don't know how she does it or how to explain it to other people. After having chiro's twist your body unnaturally into painful positions what she does is incredibly subtle. I can do things now that I haven't been able to do in a long time, and without injuring myself every time. I swear she is magic... I also sent my teenaged son to her for curvature in his back and stiffness in his hips (he couldn't bend over at the waist). After one visit he increased his mobility significantly and grew an inch! He has seen her a handful of times- his physique is completely different- and normal now. He thinks she is magic too... She is a very kind person, a great listener, amazing healer, and fosterer of holistic care. She makes great referrals to other doctors when she believes it may benefit your overall health. In other words, an active member of your "health" team. P.s. I haven't been back to any of the other providers since (including massage). :)

    I began seeing Cathy Lindsay in 1990 and saw her regularly for 8 years. I went to her for sciatic…read morepain, and she relieved my chronic rhinitis. Tears came out of my eyes and my long-time sinus problems went away. I thought of it today, 23 years later, when I visited someone else. He treated the same area that caused the eyes and sinuses to open and said that he could tell I'd been treated in that area before. He was impressed. She sent me to see someone else after a year when she couldn't resolve my issue, and that was a great experience. I still saw Dr. Lindsay for scoliosis, hip and neck pain, and whenever my knees got out of whack. Her work always lined up the knee caps. I saw her from 2003-2006, and whenever back in town. When I move back, I will see her again. She's great!

    I had a Feldenkrais lesson from Rachel while she was still in training, but even then, she was…read moreprofessional, pleasant, and effective. My lesson was for a shoulder that was sore from a couple of years-old bout of calcific tendonitis that still causes me pain from time to time, and makes the shoulder and surrounding area prone to knots and other distress. Rachel started by having me walk around to observe the natural movement of my arms, then had me lay on my side, and began working on my healthy shoulder, explaining that the connection between the two sides of the body means that moving the one that is unimpaired makes it easier for the brain to accept the new ways of moving on the other side. Then she moved on to the other side, and finished by having me walk again, and showing me in the mirror the difference in how relaxed and lower the placement of my shoulders were, particularly on the injured side. The difference that was startling, because I wasn't doing it on purpose, and it was visibly and significantly lower on the injured side. All her manipulations were extremely gentle, even more gentle than the physical therapy I had originally done at the time of injury. Rather than forcibly moving or massaging, it is more of a guide for how to move, in slow, repetitive motions. It was very relaxing.

    My friend gifted me a Feldenkrais session with Rachel. I am a Nia instructor, and I was…read moreparticularly curious about Feldenkrais because it is one of the 9 movement forms infused into Nia. I figured that through a session I'd get a taste of it and learn something new about the body. Rachel's session completely exceeded my expectations. I've had many forms of body work and I can't remember a time when I felt such a drastic change in my body so quickly. She started by asking me about my trouble spots, and we decided to work on the alignment of my legs and feet, particularly while walking. I have piriformis tightness which irritates my sciatic nerve, and the natural turnout of my leg makes this muscle tighter, causing greater sciatic nerve irritation. Rachel first had me walk naturally around the room, and then spent most of the session introducing little movements and adjustments to my body. The movements were very gentle. As she worked, Rachel clearly explained what she was doing and encouraged me to ask any questions I had. After she finished the adjustments, Rachel had me walk around the room one more time, giving no instruction on "how" I should walk. I sensed more ease and grounding as I walked, and when I looked down at my feet, they were parallel (my feet almost always turn out when I walk). I didn't feel like I was forcing them in a parallel position at all. In fact, Rachel had me try out my typical walk, and it didn't feel natural anymore! Without pushing or forcing, Rachel introduce a new movement pattern and more ease into my body. As a final test, I sat on the floor in a straddle (my feet completely flop to the sides whenever I am in this position). I was amazed that my heels now made total contact with the floor and my feet pointed up instead of out. Again, Rachel had me try my typical position with my legs turned out, and my body told me it did not want to do that anymore! I was and am so amazed that after just an hour, movement patterns that I had since I was a kid were altered. It's been over a week since Rachel's session, and the new patterns have stayed put. I also feel like I have the tools and awareness now to maintain what I have learned. If you have any sort of chronic pain or are just looking for more awareness of your body, I strongly recommend paying Rachel a visit. You will not be disappointed.

    Have seen two different Orthopedic doctors for the same issue at this location and I sincerely hope…read moretheir family members never receive the lazy and uncaring treatment I received. Doctor #1: Refused to send me to Physical Therapy- said wouldn't help at all, in fact make the situation worse. Instead recommended a $600 out of pocket treatment that did zero to help. Saw another doctor at another clinic that did end up sending me to PT. PT gave me back my mobility and decreased pain. Doctor # 2: Given outdated and unnecessary paperwork to complete (according to my insurance and the UW customer service)- haven't these people bothered to check in the last 4 years what papers are in patient care packets? Called in for a serious reaction after surgery- could be blood clots they said. Then said would set up appointment for procedure to check on possible clots (their words, "possible blood clots")....still waiting....sent email asking about appointment...still waiting on response. Guess I'll be going to the ER to get this checked on then? Why put the idea of blood clots in my mind and then drop the follow-up to get me seen for this life threatening condition? Customer representatives when you call into the clinic are rude, curt and useless. When I have been in the waiting room, have heard them taking about patients, mocking them and making fun. Shame on you making fun of sick people in pain.

    I broke my toe recently, and was referred to Dr. Bouche or associates. Dr. Bouche was booked out…read morefor quite a while, so I saw Dr. McInnes instead. Bad news, I needed surgery, but good news, Dr. McInnes and his nurse, Dee, are super nice, as is everybody else I have interacted with at the clinic (another nurse, Angie, and all the receptionists). Dr. McInnes and Dee have both taken the time to answer all my questions, and the doctor went out of his way to explain things to me after surgery *and* in my next appointment--just in case I had missed anything in my post-surgery stupor. He drew pictures, and even showed me some photos he took of my little bone fragments with his iPhone (not kidding). He's done a great job of explaining everything to me very clearly, making sure I understood, and making sure I was as comfortable as possible with everything. (For example, I have a pin in my toe that will be removed later, and he modified the dressing a little bit so the pin would be covered because I was nervous about having the end exposed. He also gave me a new prescription for pain meds the first time I saw him, because the Vicodin the ER gave me was giving me a lot of nausea.) On the down side, you have to pay for parking, but again on the plus side, when I left today, the parking lady gave me a jar of blackberry jam! What!!! That's not even possible. BUT IT IS, and I have the jam to prove it.
