WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT US

A neighbor recommended Pain Science PT to me. I am a Pilates Teacher and have had to go for physical therapy several times over the years. I know what to look for in a physical therapist. I love the approach this clinic has to pain and the whole body. I am working with Abby. She is knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend this clinic.

I have been going to Pain Science for many years. They were recommended to me by my then wife physician. Dr. Hickman guided me to an orthopedic doctor for knee replacement and all the therapist were there when I was ready for therapy. Lately, I have been seeing Melissa and have been so pleased. I refer all my friends.

I've been a patient at this clinic to address three separate issues over the last 10 years. The care I've received has been consistently effective in restoring my mobility and reducing pain. The owner, Dr. Orit Hickman, and her staff are all professional, pleasant, and encouraging. Currently I'm working with Dr. Jamie Maslach, who has proven highly skilled in identifying and treating my lower back issues. She's also very attentive to my questions and comments. Having access to videos for the exercises I've been prescribed is extremely helpful, too, as it helps keep me motivated to continue my exercises at home. I highly recommend Pain Science Physical Therapy.

I have worked with Melissa Snyder and her intern Lulu for several visits. They are very knowledgeable, kind, gentle, caring and personable. They have listened, asked for clarification when unclear, and been very concise when giving specific answers. They are always thinking about what is best for my issues going forward, advising and prescribing exercises specific to my needs and ability. I highly recommend these ladies. I also enjoy our interactions. Update: after completing my recovery from Heel Pad Atrophy, I reinjured myself with a previously treated condition. I made a phone call, spoke to Melissa and received an email with all the information I need to treat myself at home for the reinjury. This is above and beyond service. YAY, Melissa!

Over the years, every time I hurt myself, I go to PSPT for treatment. They are very professional but friendly and look past the obvious to get to the bottom of the problem. The PT stays with me the for the full appointment, not leaving me to check in and do my routine alone. They listen carefully to the details of my condition and ask questions. Not sure what I'd do without them.

My orthopedic physician told me that Pain Science Physical Therapy is the best PT to treat my chronic neck pain around Seattle area. From introducing the cause of pain to analyzing the treatment plan, Dr. Orit has always demonstrated her strong professional knowledge and rich treatment experience in each appointment. She is very serious and patient in treatment. I am very confident with the treatment and firmly believe Dr. Orit is the BEST Physical Therapy doctor I could ever find in the Seattle area.

After visiting Dr. Orit and her team, I was always moved by their sincere spirit of helping patients. The front desk here is the warmest I have ever seen. The most important is that their treatment levels are top-notch. It's worth the hour-plus drive one way. I feel so lucky to get their treatment. I strongly recommend Pain Science Physical Therapy!!!

I’ve been a PT patient at various clinics over the last 20+ years, and I can say Pain Science has been the absolute best! I first started as a patient there in 2019, receiving care for a bum knee and back issues. Most recently, I underwent a total knee replacement so I am there a lot these days. My provider, Maria, was the first one to help me discover some nerve and sensitivity issues that contribute to some left-right discrepancies and muscle weakness that has plagued me since my high school soccer days. Her/their approach is a perfect whole patient one where they have a plethora of strategies to try. The experienced and thoughtful care feels deeply personal! I have learned so much about my body, movement and pain. Not to mention recovery and returning to activities I love. Highly recommend them.

I came to Pain Science PT after having ignored a painful stiff shoulder for months. By the time I came in I had limited mobility and pain and thought I may have developed a chronic issue. I met with Dr. Ernesto Garcia who expertly diagnosed my condition within minutes. (Actually, it was probably under a minute.) He assured me that with regular sessions (within 8-10 weeks) I would regain mobility and flexibility. He was very pleasant to work with and I felt comfortable with him immediately. Along with our sessions involving stretches and exercises, he explained why and how the immobility and discomfort were occurring. He assigned homework along with detailed and easy to follow videos and as predicted, I was feeling very close to 100% by the time our sessions came to an end. I have continued with my prescribed exercises and my shoulder issue is no longer a problem. I highly recommend Pain Science Physical Therapy, and would refer any of my friends or family to them, and especially to Dr. Ernesto Garcia. I actually miss my sessions and would not hesitate to return in the future if I have the need. Thank you, Dr. Garcia!

Orit and her team are remarkable: highly skilled, dedicated, and perceptive. I had worked with a number of physical therapists following multiple back surgery without seeing any appreciable results. Orit was able to determine that my problem was nerve-related, not simply a matter of muscle weakness, and worked with me to regain almost my full range of motion. I've referred numerous friends and family to this office.

My sister-in-law highly recommended Pain Science when I needed knee surgery. Everyone there was calm and compassionate. I appreciate their professionalism. Melissa was my therapist and she encouraged me to keep pushing for new goals. She actively explored different exercises with me and listened to my concerns. I am now on my way to resuming my favorite activities.
