Physical Therapy in Kennewick, WA

Physical therapy services for athletes and active people

Personalized physical therapy treatment, always.

At Game Changer, the focus is always you. Your physical therapy treatment will be tailored to exactly what you need as a person, athlete, mom, dad, runner, hiker, etc.

I’m just as serious as you are about your recovery because I’m an athlete too.

As athletes, we are motivated to work harder than everyone else, push our bodies to the limit, overcome mental hurdles, and more importantly, when things get tough we don’t give up. We’re hardwired to accept nothing less than the best. So why think of your recovery any differently?

I’ve helped elite runners, all-conference athletes, college soccer players, semi-professional athletes, and weekend warriors overcome pain and injury to get back to their sport. I understand how frustrating it is to be on the sidelines while your team wins the championship and know just how badly you want to be “normal” again.

It takes more than some massage, an ice pack, and a couple of days off for athletes to feel like themselves. By working with me, we can get you back to feeling your best.

The Game Changer Physical Therapy Method

You may have heard of physical therapy or tried physical therapy elsewhere. My goal at Game Changer is to provide you with the best outcomes, get you back to your sport as fast as possible, and treat you as the individual that you are.

When it comes to your treatment, it’s important that we assess your current life and sports schedule, your injury history, the demands of your sport, the activities you want to ultimately get back to, as well as your overall schedule and time available to complete not only your in-clinic sessions, but your homework as well.

You will not come into the clinic 2-3x/week for 8-12 weeks. Typically I will see patients 1x/week for 4-6 visits total.

Because I am able to give you 1-1 attention during every appointment and you’re not passed between providers, that means we work super efficiently: no re-telling of your story every time you come in or doing the same exercises over-and-over again. We gather some updates and get right back into the swing of things.

During each session, you’ll get a blend of manual techniques that are appropriate for your diagnosis/injury as well as your preferences and exercises that are targeted and specific so that everything every exercise and every rep of those exercises will help you move toward achieving your goals.

With a sports-specific and personalized approach, you can rest assured that the time, energy, and money you’re investing into your physical therapy care and recovery from injury is being maximized and will get you back to where you want to be.
