DR. Natasha Parman, PT, DPT
Clinic Lead and Physical Therapist | Westlake/Seattle Clinic | she/her
Dr. Natasha Parman earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center. She has advanced training in pelvic health physical therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to pain relief, and she completed three years of postdoctoral clinical research training in integrative health at the University of Washington.
Role at Pain Science PT
As Clinic Lead at our Westlake/Seattle location, Dr. Parman provides direct patient care while overseeing clinical processes and supporting program development. She also serves as a Clinical Instructor for Doctor of Physical Therapy students, helping train the next generation of PTs in evidence-based, whole-person care.
Why Physical Therapy?
Drawn to healthcare by her love of science and her desire to help people, Dr. Parman was inspired by the focus on restoring function in rehabilitation. Her own experience with injury in high school introduced her to therapy and set her on the path to PT. For her, physical therapy is meaningful because it allows her to build relationships with patients while helping them return to the activities that matter most in their lives.
Approach to Care
Dr. Parman specializes in working with patients whose pain has not responded well to traditional approaches. She integrates orthopedics, pelvic health, pain science, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to help patients make sense of their pain and restore confidence in movement. She views herself as a guide, walking alongside patients on their journey to recovery.
Patient Impact
One of Dr. Parman’s most memorable cases involved a patient living with chronic abdominal wall pain whose fear of movement limited her ability to care for her young children. Through graded motor imagery and relaxation strategies, the patient’s skepticism turned into trust and progress. Within weeks, she regained the ability to play with her children—an outcome that Dr. Parman describes as both remarkable and deeply rewarding.
