Report
I have known Steve McCarthy, Physical Therapist and Owner of Washougal Sport & Spine for over 11 years due to having been in his care at various times due to injuries while out playing mostly. Steve's knowledge of anatomy and physical functioning of the human body is excellent and he is very good at listening to patient concerns, answering questions and explaining procedures and how they will work to help his patients to heal from whatever injury or illness has brought them into his care. It is clear in talking with Steve that he remains current in learning about and utilizing Best Clinical Practices

Very clean, modern and well managed facility. Staff was always friendly and engaging. My therapist was Tyler following surgery to repair a ruptured tendon. His approach was professional motivating and best of all highly effective. I give him full credit for managing and advancing my recovery way ahead of the schedule laid out for me by my surgeon. Thanks Tyler!

I highly recommend Washougal Sport and Spine. When an injury occurs, we all want to rehabilitate quickly. I have had the privilege to work with Steve after two separate injuries. He is professional, skilled, humble and effective. He's a broad thinker with laser focus to get you positive results. If you find yourself needing Physical Therapy, you will be so thankful you had the opportunity to heal with the assistance/direction from one of Washougal Sport and Spine's therapists. They are exceptional.

Kimberly takes care of the Allen family! A daughter who played basketball from elementary school through college, another daughter who kick boxed and is a rower in college. She helped me with a frozen shoulder (originally diagnosed by a Dr, in error, as bursitis. I made an apt with her to see if there was something PT could do to help with the pain and lack of mobility associated with my bursitis) and we were able to regain complete pain free use of shoulder and avoid a surgery! My husband saw Kimberly for knee pain and lower back issues, both are good after creation of a workout of strengthening

Washougal Sport and Spine is by far the best PT clinic I have every gone to. The caring atmosphere is wonderful and you feel like you are the most important person when you go in to see someone. While I have usually seen Steve, I have gone to other therapists who were excellent as well. Steve has gone above and beyond for both my husband and myself. When I wasnt making the progress we both thought I should be making, he wrote to my doctor telling her what he observed up on which resulted in an MRI and further diagnosis. I cannot imagine a better experience with PT.
