Very professional: from respect of privacy to personable. Answered questions and gave great long-term goals and what to watch out for. Thank you, Leah!! The best PT I have ever had; if further therapy is required, I would definitely come back!

Leah was very thorough, concerned and caring which is exemplary when compared with other treatments I recently experienced regarding my foot and back problems.

Sandra and Nancy are wonderful ? Sandra is an excellent therapist who pays attention to all aspects of the healing process to provide at the highest level. Nancy is a personable, helpful office administrator who is very easy to work with and talk to!

Sandy is amazing! She saw the problem immediately and helped me work through it. When there were questions, she referred me to other doctors to get the information we needed for further treatment. LWPT was the best thing that happened to me! I left another physical therapist to come back.

The PT was very good. The therapist did an excellent job of assessing issues beyond the obvious. She did a good assessment at each session of the progress and tailored the work to my needs. Her work was very helpful.

As this was my first experience with physical therapy, I didn?t know what to expect. My therapist was very knowledgeable and gave me exercises and direction that helped alleviate my problem. She was also very thorough in explaining what she thought the problem was, what possibly could be causing it and how it could be fixed. The whole process was a good experience.

Before treatment at Life?s Work, my physical therapy experiences were not effective, and in some cases, made my condition worse. I think Sandy is BRILLIANT!!

Life?s Work was able to strike such a great balance of being professional yet personable, and we achieved strong results.

My therapist played a crucial role in my recovery. Her knowledge of the musculoskeletal system was remarkable. She understood the interconnectedness of various muscle groups, and traced problems to their source and healed them. Even more remarkable, she integrated the physical therapy program into my cycling training program, which contributed directly to a very successful 1000 kilometer ultra-endurance cycling event in June of this year.

My physical therapy sessions with Sandra at Life's Work has made it possible for me to refresh my health and create well-being for myself during an extremely difficult transition period of my life.
Life's work approach to my various problems was gentle, holistic and very thorough. Sandra and her associates are the most capable practitioners that I have met in my search for supported well-being. She is able to thoughtfully listen, identify specific physical needs, provide specific treatments, and expertly educate me toward creating my own individual health solutions for pain and stress management.
I wish that I had known more about Life's Work therapy as a preventative approach to optimal health and body functioning before I had followed other advice, which was not based on well-being but merely a prescribed insurance treatment.

I was a difficult case, but Life?s Work stuck with me and helped me get back to my normal self. Thanks!!

The staff was always courteous and helpful! I have and will continue to brag about the service I?ve received here. This is the first PT that has actually worked in both short and long term care. Wonderful service, and each session has been helpful in recuperating from my accident. This has been not only the best PT service I?ve had, but also the most beneficial in helping to resolve issues. Thank you!

My therapy experience was excellent. I found my therapist to be very knowledgeable, helpful and personable. I felt comfortable and would recommend Life?s Work without hesitation.
Posted 05/02/07
I have been to another facility ? but really felt the professionalism and quality of service was outstanding here! I would recommend you in a heartbeat!!

It has been literally years since my back has felt this loose and relaxed. I am feeling confident about returning to my training at Gonzaga Crew.

Life?s Work provides a comfortable, welcoming environment for all types of patients. Therapists are scientific and caring, and very thoughtful, and purposeful about understanding the many complex contributors to complex problems. They were highly effective at solving many of my problems that have bothering me for years. They have spoiled me ? truly they have set the standard for high quality PT care. I will never be able to go back to another PT willingly again!

I liked the hands-on treatment, one-on-one, great directions; not like others where they tell you what to do and walk away.
Posted 01/10/07
They are a great team! They make me feel special. I cant imagine going to anyone but Lifes Work!!

My therapist provided excellent treatment, very sport-specific. I have already recommended her to two cyclists. I will be back if I ever need PT work.
Posted 07/09/06
I was very satisfied with my progress. I was better after the first appointment.
Their techniques were different, but they obviously work.
My therapist was very knowledgeable I knew I was in good hands.

My PT really cared about my rehab. She gave me a lot of exercises to do for my situation. She gave me great inspiration to get back to my healthy normal self. She also had answers for all og my questions.

"Everybody's talking about my new way of walking," baby does it blow my mind that after 49 years and 13 marathons I'm re-learning how to walk, and with great results! I am no longer waking up in the middle of the night with hip pain. I can do the activities I love (gardening, hiking, dance, etc.) without fear of hurting myself or making my pain worse. I am extremely happy with my improvement and am grateful for the knowledge and encouragement I received at Life's Work.

My therapist worked magic on my headaches and neck/shoulder pain. She quickly and accurately assessed the problems and began therapy to immediately resolve the issues. I am now pain-free after 8 sessions.
She also gave me the tools (strengthening exercises and stretches) to manage the pain as it begins. She is extremely knowledgeable and approached each new ache or pain as a new challenge. I will not hesitate to recommend her and Lifes Work to friends and co-workers.
