LWPT West Seattle
Welcome to LWPT West Seattle. Our focus is the individual and we spend dedicated one-on-one time with each client. The team of therapists will work tirelessly to help you meet your goals whether it be simply decreasing pain so you can play with your kids or getting you back to CrossFit.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
There are a number of factors that differentiate us from other approaches.
First and foremost we spend 45 min+ of dedicated one-on-one time evaluating, treating, and designing the best plan possible for your individual goals.
Our team of 6 clinicians spend hundreds of hours a year on their own time getting better. Continuing education courses and mentor-ship allow us to hone our craft and get better outcomes from our patients. Whether that be learning new techniques or reviewing the latest research.
LWPT Clinics are owned locally and operated by owners not a corporate entity. You will see a more personal touch and an attention to detail that is what many people are looking for.
We live in West Seattle and call this community home.
