Dear Katy, Thank you so much for the wonderful care and treatment you gave me during my therapy sessions. Your program was very helpful to my physical well-being. Currently, my pains are completely gone, and I can enjoy by attending Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes and any others type of physical activities again. I do recommend you to anyone who is looking for PT professional. Especially for people who had sports trauma, and very especially for people who belong to the world of MMA, BJJ, Wrestling, Judo, Karate, etc. You have deep and unique experience which is going to be beneficial for the martial arts people. Once again, thank you for being such a kindhearted care provider and for making the treatment possible. Thank You for getting my life back eugene Full brief story I have suffered from constant back pain for the last year. I took pain relief which only helped a little. I tried to exercise, this often resulted in suffering afterward. At some moment the intensity of the pain increased to a level in which I could barely walk. Driving was also difficult. I suffered more from pain whenever I did any form of household duties. I became fearful of any kind of physical activities. My life was dictated by pain and fear of tasks that I knew would cause pain, even sitting was uncomfortable. I have been to my family doctor on numerous occasions. Eventually, the doctor referred me to a MRI scan. The MRI showed something bad at L3/4 and 4 or 5, but I didn't really understand what this meant. I thought obviously there is something seriously wrong and worried about it even more. The doctor said I could have some kind of injections, but they probably wouldn't work. I left that appointment without hope I would ever get better. So, I have decided to address to the doctor who's specialization IS back pain and back injuries. Finally, I scheduled appointment with Dr. Llewellyn N. Packia Raj, MD (Swedish, Redmond, WA) . We met, he reviewed my case, discussed it with me, and he has referred me to "Synergy Physical Therapy". I went there and was assigned to Katherine Smith. Starting from the consultation and to the very end she has been working hard trying to bring me back to normal. I was visiting Kate for 10 weeks (twice a week). Each session was one hour non-stop exercising, stretching, massage, etc. Additionally, I was given exercises to do at home to help me to improve flexibility, strength and overall health. I was so happy to see how quickly the techniques helped me. After two weeks of attending Kate's sessions my fear of pain has gone as I started attending Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes and play soccer. .From session to session my fitness is improving and so is my confidence. The Kate's PT program have given me back my life and can now just get on with things again without fear. read more

I was referred to Priyanka by my sports medicine doctor for my sciatica pain in right leg and left shoulder/arm area. I had been in severe chronic pain since one year ago before I met Priyanka and had got done many treatments before with no results and relief. PT with Priyanka changed everything!! She was very competent and did a thorough assessment of my medical problem. She provided me with lots of insights and answers that I was looking for my condition and also explained thoroughly what would PT entail and how we were going to work together to help with my pain, and regain strength in my body. I have been going to her for PT for a few months now and I can say with so much confidence that I haven't felt this great in 2 years!!! PT with Priyanka has improved my health considerably, my pain levels are way down and I am getting back to my regular activity levels. Her personalized attention and expert knowledge makes her a very competent physical therapist. All of the credit for my improved health goes entirely to her- this was all achieved through combination of her manual therapy treatments, strengthening core exercises and the personal attention that I got from Priyanka over the course of treatment. In each session, I could see my condition improving steadily. She provided and educated me with different tools (at home exercises, stretches, posture correction etc.) that I can continue to use as part of treatment in my everyday life to manage my pain better. I am very grateful to her for making me go back to my normal life :) Also, she is very flexible with appointment scheduling to work around your needs. She is an exceptional Physical Therapist, highly knowledgeable and extremely professional. I highly recommend her and her practice for any PT needs that you might have! read more

I was referred to Katy in Synergy physical therapy by my sports doctor for lower back pain. I have a history of lower back from from 2010 when I suffered from a disc slip while playing soccer. Every once in two years I would require some form or treatment to get back to normal. But I suffered from lower back pain throughout 2016 even after trying different options like chiropractor, few visits at other physcial therapists but nothing seemed to work. And this significantly limited my ability to play soccer regularly. This is when my sports doctor recommended me to Katy. Katy's personalized treatment has been super helpful. She's super punctual, never had to miss any sessions, very flexible with scheduling. I could see some positive results immediately after the first few sessions. And once I completed the entire plan, I have been able to return to playing soccer regularly without having to worry too much. Her exercises and recommendations for strengthening my core and lower back helped a lot and I know I can schedule an appointment with her if my lower back bothers me again. I've already recommended a friend of mine to Katy for similar problems and he's also had only positive things to say about his experience so far. Highly recommend Katy to anyone who's looking for a great physical therapist. read more

I went to see Priyanka for acute pain in my shoulders when I extended my arms up or toward my back. She came recommended by a reputable arthritis doctor. I thought my pain was linked primarily to arthritis and to be honest, did not expect much from physical therapy. But Priyanka was able to detect that this was not - at least entirely - due to arthritis and gave me a number of physical exercises that improved my shoulders dramatically in only a few weeks. The acute pain is now gone and I can extend my arms up or back as I used to before the pain started. Priyanka is very knowledgeable, clearly keenly aware of the anatomy of the joints and on how to free up locked or frozen shoulders. I have not been able to got back to see her for a few weeks now due to COVID19 but I was able to maintain or even improve my shoulders by doing the exercises that she prescribed 4-5 times a week. I would highly recommend her. read more

During and after pregnancy I developed a hip pain due to the way my ligaments are. I was in tremendous pain and could barely move or get any work done and if I did push through the day somehow; I would not be able to move till the next morning. I visited a specialist who recommended that I go for physical therapy to improve my back and hip muscles. Enter Priyanka Gupta!!!! She worked on my back and hip and about 3 months later I felt a considerable difference. She explained various exercises and also stretched out and massaged my problem areas to relieve pain. She also did strength training and even taught me some stretches to soothe the pain if it got bad at home. I would recommend and go back to her if I ever needed a physical therapist. Thankfully I have not needed one in over a year now. read more

I came here for some mild back pain and abdominal muscle pain after trying out another PT clinic. I felt like Priyanka did a much more thorough assessment and informed me a great deal about my body and why I was having the aches and pains I was having. Within a week I did not experience the pain anymore, and within 3 weeks I was amazed at the things I could do with my body that I was too afraid to do before I saw her (for fear of pain). Each session she gave me a good challenge - enough to challenge the areas I needed to work on, but not so much where I felt like it was a strain on my body. She also gave me "homework" each time and made sure to review them with me each week. She is very competent and professional. I've already recommended her to all my friends! read more

I was referred to Priyanka Gupta by my Rheumatologist for physical therapy regarding stenosis in my low back. She worked with me twice a week from March 24th to May 4th.

Also, ways to help me keep my balance and feel more confident in not taking a fall. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything well as she taught me to take care of my body. I graduated yesterday with 99% of the pain gone and walking normally. I would recommend her to anyone and very grateful to her for teaching me what I need to know to avoid pain in the future with my home exercise program. read more
