Always excellent care! Washington Wellness therapists have assisted me with recovery from surgeries multiple times since 2012 and they are always my preference for PT care.

Washington Wellness has been great for my rehabilitation! Kristi has been great, and makes sure to put together a plan with your specific goals in mind. I would first recommend not getting injured, but if that fails I would definitely recommend Washington Wellness

Kelly Leninger at Washington Wellness knows her business when it comes to helping people with musculoskeletal issues. Charles's knee pain on stairs has been significantly reduced as a result of the care she has provided. She also identified and is working on other issues that affect normal, every-day mobility. We recommend her highly.

Charged me 40% more than quoted. When I was upset pointed me to their policy that quotes are not final. So I ask how do you come up with your quotes? And are they more often than not lower than what ends up being billed? Imagine if your plumber did that and would send you to collections if you didn't pay.
PT service was fine although most often double booked.
