Avant Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I have seen Ryan on and off through marathon training. He always gets me to the start line healthy, strong and excited. This last go around got me a BQ, he is THE BEST. I recommend him and Avant 10 out of 10 times!

Fantastic experience: I have been treated at Avant Physical Therapy for a couple months now. My therapist has been Dr. Laura Shellooe Soderlind. I know that reviewers often inflate the star count assigned to a business; nobody wants to be mean. However, I've visited enough PT providers to know that this group is the real deal! Everything at Avant oozes professional attention to detail. From the front desk staff (I'm typically greeted by Ronnie), to the individual therapists, everyone there makes you feel warmly welcomed. In particular I want to single out Laura. For years I have battled chronic back problems. Every time I have sought remedies, I have ended up further injuring an already weak back. Laura is the first therapist who has really studied my bodies movement dynamics and carefully guided me through an exercise regimen that has actually made my back feel not just better, but stronger. That requires some very thorough knowledge that Laura clearly possesses and uses daily. Don't ask to go to Avant - demand it! You won't be sorry.

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Rick Young and had amazing and quick results for cervical radiculopathy. He knew exactly what to do to help resolve the problem. This is a top notch physical therapy facility and I highly recommend Avant.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Laura Shellooe Soderlind for almost the last two years with a variety of injuries. I went to her first after getting in a road cycling accident where I injured my shoulder. She is an amazing job of assessing the injury and working with me for a rehab plan. I can thankfully say that I feel no pain or lack of mobility in my shoulder, thanks to Dr. Laura. I've had a few knee injuries from skiing and strength training over the last year. I've seen Dr. Laura for all of the injuries and I was so impressed by how thoroughly she assessed my injuries and identified the underlying root cause. I've never had a PT that truly gets at the issue and helps work with me on innovative, functional exercises to make my stronger. I highly recommend Dr. Laura S., she is easily the best DPT I've worked with in my life (and I've seen a lot of DPTs!)

Fantastic experience: I never write reviews, but I had such an amazing experience with Laura Shellooe at Avant PT that I had to share. I’m a dancer who sprained both (yes, both) of my ankles last year. I’ve sprained an ankle before, but this time, it was more severe and not the kind that I could just apply RICE to. I was told by my doctor that I should see a PT, and if the therapy did not help, I might have to resort to surgery. I knew I wanted to see a PT who worked with dancers, so they’d understand my specific movements and goals. My doctor initially referred me to a PT who works with the Pacific Northwest Ballet. However, after a month, I realized I wasn’t improving with this PT. I felt their approach was too general, not focused enough on active recovery exercises/homework, and relied too much on out-of-pocket (not covered by insurance) experimental treatment tools with questionable success rates. When I switched to seeing Laura at Avant, I had the complete opposite experience. Laura works with dancers too and is a dancer herself, so she understood where I was coming from. On top of that, she really listened to me and created a custom plan that met my needs. Not only was I able to make a full recovery without surgery (which I didn’t think was possible, I’ve heard horror stories about dancer injuries that never fully go away), but working with Laura also prevented several future injuries and has made me a stronger dancer than ever before. If you’re looking for a PT who makes you feel heard, is genuinely invested in your recovery (not in your wallet), and meets you where you are, go see Laura and the Avant PT team. Not only will they help you recover from your injury, they will ensure that you thrive after your injury.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING!! I had an incredible experience at Avant with Laura Bannister, who greatly improved my quality of life. Since injuring my back at a young age, I've been dealing with persistent and severe back pain despite undergoing physical therapy (PT) for about 6 months. Over the course of more than a decade, I continued to suffer until I decided to give PT another try. Initially, I chose a PT office that was near my house and accepted my insurance, but even after completing the therapy there, my back pain persisted. That's when I discovered Laura and Avant, which had received excellent reviews, and promptly made an appointment. What truly stood out to me was Laura's exceptional attention to detail in her care. While many of the exercises I performed at Avant were similar to those I had done before with other PTs, Laura's keen focus on correcting my form and adapting exercises when I struggled to maintain proper form made a significant difference in the effectiveness of my PT. After a few months of consistent care and diligent exercise on my own, I am now feeling remarkably better. When I began PT I had a hard time with daily tasks like laundry and dishes, now not only can I easily do those but I can finally engage in physical activities without experiencing any pain too!

Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with chronic low back pain for years, with no significant injury or trauma that set it off -- basically my spine was aged up 20+ years without anything to point to as to why. I can say with confidence that's no longer the case (plus I have a strong and healthy spine to prove it!) I was no stranger to physical therapy when I signed up with Avant, either. I had been in and out of clinics like a revolving door without any real progress to show for. I went in skeptical of the progress I'd make at Avant, but after getting paired up with Kate I began having hope that I would come out the other end able to move and function athletically without pain. She worked with me to understand my muscle imbalances and targeted my weak points, slowly working me toward healthy, functional movements. After several months, I've come out of PT able to deadlift for the first time in my life without pain. I can run for 3 miles and not feel aching joints and my lumbar spine screaming at me. I can finally squat, which was something I've been neglecting from my weight training since it impacted my lower back. Everyone at Avant is cut of the same cloth, being equally personable and energetic to get you back into shape. (Shoutout to the front desk and Ronni, for always making appointments easy!) Really, you can't go wrong with Avant. Not only does their gym floor have everything you'd need, but you're guaranteed to find someone here that understands the story of your body's aches, pains and traumas, and applies the right therapy accordingly. I highly recommend Avant Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Brenna has been instrumental in my pec tear recovery. She was patient, supportive and pushed me throughout the process of getting my health back in check. I am incredibly grateful for all the work Brenna and all the staff at Avant have done for me and would definitely recommend Avant to anyone that is looking for exceptional physical therapists in the Seattle area. Thank you again for everything :-)

Fantastic experience: I went to Avant for a few months and have only positive things to say. I felt treated as a whole person, loved the hour-long appointments, felt it was worth every penny I spent (and I paid for it myself). Laura Shellooe was my PT, and she was undoubtedly the best I've experienced. Avant seems to have a focus on dancers and other athletes that need full motion, strength, and ability to return to life pre-injury. I'm not a dancer; however, that focus translated nicely to what I do and how I live. Really appreciate this place and their dedication to the individual.

Fantastic experience: I see Laura for pelvic floor and dance/ running pt. She is so great! I’ve seen countless PTs in my life and she has been by far the best. She explains things in a way that makes sense, she pushes me to do more in my exercises, and she listens to the issues I’m having and actually helps me find solutions. Most physical therapy made me feel like I was wasting my time, but I can feel my self improving and getting stronger since coming to Avant.

Fantastic experience: I made an amazing progress in my 1.5-months of training with Laura Shellooe in the area of hip and pelvic floor muscles. I was referred by my doctor for a right hip pain. After the first 2 sessions I can already feel an improvement on my daily functioning with a reduced hip pain. The next 2-3 sessions we shifted focus to strengthening pelvic floor muscles. These concepts are new to me so I appreciate Laura’s expertise and patience on trying with different analogies to help me understand the concepts. With the exercises I now feel much more confident going into ob/gyns checks. Last but not least, the front desk staffs have been professional and welcoming, too! I highly recommend Avant for any one seeking hip and pelvic floor training :)

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience working with Brenna and with Avant as a whole! Over the course of 6+ months she helped me rehab everything from tendinitis caused by running to a shoulder injury caused by poor decision making. Brenna is clearly very knowledgeable and highly competent and did a great job of keeping me informed and answering all my questions at each step of my treatment. She was instrumental in keeping me healthy enough to run a full and a half marathon while I was seeing her and I will absolutely be returning for any future rehab needs. (Shout out to Ronni at the front desk for squeezing me in for a few last-minute appointments when I really needed them!)

Fantastic experience: I tore my ACL and went to see Brenna and it was the best decision I could've made. She has so much knowledge about ACLs and she always had my best interest in mind. I always felt so comfortable asking her questions as she always made sure every one of my questions were answered. Our sessions never felt rushed and it felt tailored to my own needs and where I'm at in recovery. Every session she'll start looking at swelling to gauge how my knee responded to our last session to decide if we can continue or switch things up a bit. She's such an easy person to talk to it's like hanging out with a friend while working out so it makes recovery not so isolating and something to look forward to every week. Brenna has seen me at my worst from when I first walked into her office terrified/devastated at the news of me needing surgery to a few days post op with bloody stitches and helping me apply new gauze. I've not once felt judged but motivated and most of all hopeful after our sessions. Brenna is someone who cares so much about her patients and I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for an amazing PT.

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic experience with Ryan and the entire staff over at Avant PT. I worked with Ryan over the past 9 months rebuilding back to full strength after ACL reconstruction and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. You can expect top-notch professionalism, expertise, training, and care from this facility. Ryan pushed me as a coach would and was always available to answer questions and go the extra mile. Do yourself a favor and visit Avant PT!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Avant PT for their team of skilled practitioners, warm vibe, and the fact that you see your DPT for the entire session (instead of being transferred to a trainee for movement exercises). Every session builds on the last, never feeling repetitive, and the use of a shared app helps you track your homework in a very manageable way. All the PTs here have the goal for their patients to leave stronger and with more tools than before. I’ve been fortunate to see Laura Bannister through various injuries, and she is one of the most knowledgeable, caring and skilled physical therapists I’ve ever worked with. She understands the demands and nuances of a professional dancer because of her own embodied experience and years of directing Avant. I always appreciate her proactive and honest approach, taking the time to identify and rework biomechanics and habitual patterns, with the goal of becoming more informed and aware. Even when it felt like I would never reach a point of being pain free or strong again, she helped me rebuild not only the physical strength, but also the mental confidence necessary to return. I am so grateful to have found her as my go to resource here in Seattle, as she plays a vital role in the longevity of my career and overall well being.

Fantastic experience: Laura Shellooe Soderlind is the best! She is kind, funny, thoughtful, patient, and super knowledgeable. She has taught me a lot about movement and anatomy! She has made such a great impact in my life. I'm very thankful for how much I learn in every visit. I've gotten so much stronger and I'm able to keep enjoying my movement.

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience with Laura B at Avant! In six months time, Laura was able to get me from dealing with daily back pain and being limited at the gym to no back pain and making huge strides in weightlifting. Laura was able to diagnose the root of my back pain that several doctors and PTs had been unable to and immediately got me on the path to relief with strength and mobility exercises. Laura looks beyond just fixing a single issue and thinks holistically about how the entire body functions. She identified solutions to several other issues I had (shoulder, foot) and helped me with those simultaneously. Laura pushed me to get stronger and safely go outside my comfort zone to start doing all compound lifts at the gym, which had been a goal of mine for years. Each session with Laura was a delight, she has an infectiously positive personality and kept me honest about working hard every week. I can't speak highly enough about Laura's practice in general and I'd trust any of her providers with top notch care.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing PTs at Avant for years and have found them to be the highest caliber around. This year I saw Laura for pelvic floor PT prior to and throughout pregnancy, including a session with my partner for birth prep. I’ve had a physically strong pregnancy and still feel great at 35 weeks, going to the gym, squatting and lifting heavy, and mainting more movement than I could have asked for. I wouldn’t feel as confident about labor and birth or post partum recovery without the work Laura and I have done all year and her outlook on moms continuing to exercise throughout pregnancy! I cannot recommend Laura enough for Pelvic Floor/Pregnancy PT and everyone else in their speciality areas!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Brenna soon after my ACL repair. She was very knowledgeable and seemed perfectly equipped to handle my unique case of second ACL reconstruction, this time with an allograft. In the first couple of weeks we used NMES to help with quad activation and blood flow restriction to have the affected knee working out as soon as possible. In later stages she had me do load bearing exercise, which under her guidance I was able to progress through pretty quick. She was also nice enough to correspond with my surgeon and my personal trainer which made the whole process a breeze. All in all Brenna really helped me move through the process as smoothly as possible and if it weren't for me moving out of the city I would've no doubt seen the return to sport program through with her as well. Can't recommend her enough! P.S: The water dispenser at Avant had the best tasting water in the city! Take it for what you will.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Laura Shellooe at Avant Physical Therapy for male pelvic floor related issues. She was wonderful to work with, and we made enough progress for me to "graduate" from PT and avoid the need for surgery! Laura explained everything very clearly and logically and it was amazing how I could learn to connect to and control parts of my body. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: I saw Adrienne Snider at Avant PT and was delighted with the results. It was quickly evident that Adrienne has an incredibly knowledge of PT and was quickly and thoroughly able to diagnose my issue and provide me with an actionable plan to address it (rotator cuff). Once we got past the rotator cuff functional issues I continued with her on an overall tune up of my workout routine to improve performance. I can't recommend Adrienne enough!

Fantastic experience: I work with Laura Bannister. She is one of the most knowledgable, effective, respectful and reliable medical professionals I've ever worked with. Support staff have been great to work.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for ACL physical therapy, Brenna at Avant is the way to go! I have struggled with knee injuries in the past and PT was always super hard to convince myself to do. Not only did Brenna make PT engaging during our sessions but all of my home programs were easy and modified to fit my lifestyle. We created gym programs so that I could continue going to the gym but rehab correctly. Brenna is the best and I have loved doing my rehab at Avant.

Fantastic experience: Brenna helped me recover from an ACL tear caused by a skiing accident. From pre-op to now, Brenna has been with me every step of the way which has been about 1.5 years! I really enjoy Brenna's focus on quantitative results. It helped motivate me to build strength at PT and on my own at the gym. I would 1000% recommend Avant & Brenna to anyone for ACL tear recovery.

Fantastic experience: I truly can't thank and recommend Brenna at Avant enough! My journey to Avant began after a series of frustrating PT experiences elsewhere while trying to heal a persistent ankle injury from soccer. However, from the moment I walked into Avant for my first session, I knew I was in for a completely different and more positive experience. Brenna dedicated our initial session to a comprehensive assessment of my injury, along with a deep dive into my activity history and goals. What truly set her apart was her intuition and expertise. She was the only one to suggest that I see an ankle specialist, suspecting that my injury was more than just a sprain. Her hunch was spot-on; I had a minor fracture that had gone unnoticed elsewhere. With this insight Brenna created a personalized plan that encompassed both our in-clinic sessions and guided gym exercises. What made our sessions exceptional was their variety and relevance. Brenna consistently challenged me with diverse exercises, always explaining their purpose in the context of my typical physical activities. I'm now finally back at 100% and even playing soccer matches with newfound strength in my ankle. Once again can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I'd like to recommend Avant PT to everyone who needs PT help. I've experienced ongoing knee pain for almost 1 year before coming to Avant. I tried PT elsewhere but did not really help much. I’m so happy that I gave PT a second chance and that I’ve met Adrienne in Avant. Adrienne is the best PT I can ever imagine. She actually cares, listens & explains! My knee pain has been very much under control now and I can workout, hike like I used to do, which is huge for me since it has bothered me for so long. I’d love to work with her in the chance if there is chance.

Fantastic experience: Five stars for Brenna, the best physical therapist for kids in Seattle! My son, Dexter, is an 11-year-old basketball player struggling with foot problems. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't play the game he loved. We took him to see Brenna, and she helped him get back on his feet in no time. Brenna was excellent with Dexter. She was patient, understanding, and fun. She made PT enjoyable for him and always knew how to motivate him. Brenna quickly diagnosed Dexter's foot problems and developed a personalized treatment plan for him that helped Dexter get back on the court at full speed! If you are looking for a physical therapist for your child, I highly recommend Brenna David. She is the best!

Fantastic experience: I went to Avant PT to rehab my hamstring (as well as lots of other chronic injuries) after a year of pain. I play ultimate frisbee and spend a lot of time playing on turf. I worked with Kate! She is super knowledgable and great to work with. She took it easy at times and kicked my butt when I needed it. I would recommend Avant to everyone (and do)!

Fantastic experience: Brenna is truly an incredible PT and I'd highly recommend her and the rest of the team at Avant! I came to her following a skiing incident that resulted in a full ACL tear and other knee damage. From the start, Brenna took time to understand my symptoms, history, and goals. She was transparent about the paths to recovery and clearly knowledgeable about ACL injuries, walking me through the full spectrum of options from surgery to non-operative rehab. She worked with me to build a plan that fit my preferences and lifestyle, with PT sessions that were always challenging but rewarding. Two months so far and I feel so much stronger, more pain-free, and more confident in my knee than before. It's rare to find someone who is both such an expert on ACL injuries and so attentive/adaptable to their patients' needs. I'm super grateful to Brenna and can't recommend her enough! Shoutout to the rest of the staff at Avant as well for always providing a welcoming and supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: I am endlessly grateful to Brenna at Avant PT! I am a professional trapeze artist, so I have had my share of various overuse injuries. Following a long pause in my career due to the pandemic, Brenna helped me to overcome mobility and strength imbalances that led to pain as well as get back to performance-level shape. Her deep knowledge along with her curiosity and willingness to learn about the specifics of my art form has been a gift! She helps me plan my strength training and recovery as well as problem solve issues that come up along the way. Thank you Brenna!!

Fantastic experience: Brenna is the goddess of PT! I had lost my functional abilities after being rear-ended. I was unable to work, cook, or even walk properly. Having tried PT at a different place (with no results) prior to seeing Brenna, I felt hopeless. However, thanks to Brenna, who is extremely thorough in her examination and analysis, I started getting better week over week without a single flare up due to PT! I’ll be forever grateful to Brenna for what she’s done for me. I would recommend her any day to anyone who’s struggling with injuries that require PT.

Fantastic experience: I started coming to Avant for pain I developed during pregnancy and have been blown away by the amazing care I have received here. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a physical therapist, especially someone specifically interested in pregnancy PT or pelvic floor therapy in the postpartum. The staff are incredibly professional, helpful and kind. Everyone should have access to healthcare that improves the quality of your life and that can be found here.

Fantastic experience: I feel so fortunate to have landed in Laura's care! My lower back and hip were a painful mess from stenosis, poor running form and muscle weakness. She skillfully tailored her treatment and my home plan to my condition as it changed - it's been a long haul but her warmth and positivity kept me at it. It's like a miracle to be free of that pain!

Fantastic experience: Avant is great for the whole family! Both my husband and I as well as our teenage son have had great success here with healing and rehab. Brenna has been particularly amazing with my teen and I can recommend her highly! She’s pushed him just the right amount and is very communicative to us parents.

Fantastic experience: Love Gio! She helped my daughter so much the past year, and she really knows how to treat a dancers body. That’s hard to find in Physical Therapists. Would definitely recommend her to all dancers or really any athlete.

Fantastic experience: Laura Shellooe at Avant is incredible. I have had lower back pain for 20+ years that I have been unable to solve with several other PT's, yoga, exercise, massage or anything else. Unfortunately, overcorrecting with bad form recently resulted in a hernia, but I feel the best I have in years because Laura has shown me the correct way to build my pelvic floor and give me core strength I've never had before. I can't thank Laura enough for her knowledge and instruction. John (50 y.o. fit male)

Fantastic experience: Avant Physical Therapy is absolutely amazing! The PTs are great at listening to how your body is feeling and creating a home program to give your body exactly what it needs to get strong and increase your range of motion with correct form and alignment. I am so grateful to them for helping me recover from big toe tears and return to dancing with Pacific Northwest Ballet.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Avant to runners and anyone dealing with pain/injuries, from minor stuff to major rehab. I worked with Kate for nearly a year following knee surgery. I am very grateful for her support in navigating a complex recovery process, and I believe that her approach/program played a huge role in my return to running. It was unclear what running would look like for me after the surgery, but I am happy to report that I've been able to run up to 14 miles (so far) without issues! I also feel stronger in many ways despite the time off. I don't know if this would have been possible without Kate's guidance. Ronni and the other staff were a pleasure to work with as well. They also have a great space that is clean/well-maintained, along with state-of-the-art equipment, etc. Best PT experience I've had!

Fantastic experience: Brenna provides what is probably the single best PT experience you can find in the state of Washington. She gives a level of care that is bar none, and truly does everything she can to help her patients overcome injury. Avant also provides a fantastic environment for rehab. If any of my friends ever need a suggestion for PT, it will be Avant without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: I have had an outstanding experience with Brenna at Avant, and I highly recommend her to anyone that might be experiencing pain or injury. I went to Brenna last year as a weekend warrior triathlete who was experiencing hip and foot pain which severely limited my ability to compete. I could not run or bike without experiencing pain, and I had gone to great lengths to try and self treat the injuries with research, testing out exercises, and even doing an entire online movement program. I was skeptical of PT as a whole, and it took some significant long-standing injuries for me to go back. However, Brenna changed my perception of PT entirely. There is no substitute for the knowledge that a good PT brings to the table. Brenna could clearly and easily diagnose problems with my strength or mobility that correlated to my pain, and she provided exercises which corrected them. With this approach, she helped me not only get back to running and biking, but was instrumental in getting me healthy enough to complete my first Ironman! I was also able to learn a tremendous amount from her in the process, as she always had great answers to my endless questions. I feel much more in charge of my health with Brenna’s guidance and help, and I highly recommend her and Avant to anyone in need of help with pain or injury.

Fantastic experience: My teen gymnastics queen was having heel pain, so we went to Avant to see Brenna hoping to get her back to 100% fast. Not only is Brenna great with kids, she's also is great with gymnasts (because she used to be one.) She got her feeling better quickly...but then my daughter broke her toe at a meet. Oh no! Not to worry though...Brenna helped her get through that injury too...connecting us with an orthopedic doctor and working with us during her recovery...making sure that she didn't lose her strength while she was healing. My daughter was able to return to the gym for her final meet and felt pain-free...and she made the National Team! Thank you to Brenna and Avant PT! Excuse the bad gymnastics pun...but they're a perfect 10!

Fantastic experience: Brenna is an incredible therapist who focuses on getting you back to the level you wish to compete in. I had been dealing with several left quad and lower back issues and Brenna got me to work every single visit. She was patient, kind, but most importantly she brought out the best in me to work as hard as I could to be my best. From being in pain on every run to being able to play 90 minutes of soccer every minute of physical therapy was worth the lifetime of healthy activity. Thank you!! The team at Avant is amazing!

Fantastic experience: I have, unfortunately, had reasons to go to a score of Physical Therapists over the years. All were well schooled and I have received various success outcomes. When I began my treatment with Laura Bannister at Avant PT, it was at another level. Her intuitive gift for prescribing the most effective exercises is based on her incredible knowledge of the anatomy and great relationships with doctors. In my case, I was seeing three doctors who were well aware of who Laura was. The collaboration between them was one of mutual respect, and their admiration of Laura was obvious. On the few occasions when I could not see Laura, other therapists were well informed on my case and the treatment was seamless. My goal was to be able to travel to Italy and spend a month with my new grandson. I did it! It would not have happened without Laura. Additionally, the front office is most friendly and efficient. Avant is a very busy practice (with good reason), and their ability to direct traffic effortlessly is commendable. That should cover it! My deepest gratitude to Laura. Joey Perlmutter

Fantastic experience: Avant PT is great--can't recommend it enough! I worked with Brenna for 8 months to rehab a knee injury and build up strength, and she was awesome! She's very well versed in scientific research behind what does/doesn't work when it comes to rehabbing knee injuries, and does a great job of devising a program that helps you steadily progress your strength, agility, and movement techniques. She did a great job of explaining to me why strength training matters, and why it should be prioritized, and she was always encouraging and supportive. The physical location itself is great--they have everything you might need for PT! Ronnie at the front desk was awesome and always super responsive. All in all, a great place. Was happy to get cleared but sad to leave!

Fantastic experience: Look no further - Avant PT is the best of the best! I worked with Brenna for nearly a full year to recover from an ACL tear and am grateful to have gotten such top-notch support. As a ballet dancer, I was worried I'd never be able to dance the same way again, but Brenna put me to work with rigorous training that increased in difficulty as I progressed. I was able to avoid getting surgery and have made a full recovery, which feels nothing short of miraculous. Brenna's patience, humor, kindness, and extensive knowledge paired with the kind of energy that pushed me to keep working hard was invaluable. She was deeply invested in my recovery every step of the way, provided resources, and checked in frequently. In addition, every staff member I interacted with was friendly and accommodating, and the space and equipment were excellent (complete with a ballet barre for the dancers recovering!). I cannot recommend Avant highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Brenna David for over a year and couldn’t recommend her and Avant more! I came in looking to get back to 100% following an ACL surgery in 2020. Brenna helped me improve my strength and confidence through a tailored program that left me feeling stronger than ever. She even created a personalized workout plan for me to continue following. She always made herself available via email if any questions or issues came up in between appointments and it is evident she really cares about her patients. I truly enjoyed coming into PT and loved working with Brenna. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Avant is such a great office, with friendly staff and knowledgeable therapists. Most recently, I have been bringing my 11-year-old son in to see Brenna for help with strength and agility. He is a baseball player (among other sports) and wanted to improve not only his strength for hitting, but also his running form and his agility for playing catcher. Brenna worked with him weekly on these aspects, and gave him exercises to do at home. He has seen a great improvement, especially in his running speed! We're looking forward to continuing work with Brenna, and strongly recommend her for young athletes looking to get stronger!

Fantastic experience: Avant PT has been my best physical therapy experience. Brenna has helped me recover from two shoulder surgeries. I am able to play sports at the level that I was at before the surgeries thanks to her help. She has a very methodical approach to her work, and the measurements and tests used to gauge my improvement were clear to understand. I like how the whole clinic is very hands on when working with their clients through all the exercises and ensuring good form every time. Exercises were always well explained and appropriately challenging since Brenna had such a good understanding of my capabilities throughout my rehab. I also always looked forward to my appointments because Brenna and all the staff are so friendly! I would recommend them to any of my friends who need PT.

Fantastic experience: If I could give 6 stars, I would!! I have so much respect for the entire Avant team and I’m so thankful to have found this clinic. Fully rehabbing injuries, building strength and flexibility, and maintaining a healthy and productive mindset while being injured, were all really important attributes for me when looking for a PT— Avant hit all of them! Also, they’ve been super innovative during the pandemic to make sure exercises could be done at home with little to no equipment.

Fantastic experience: Dr BRENNA DAVID is an excellent physical therapist! I went to Avant on the referral of my Sports Med Dr. I came in with knee pain from CYCLING and lower back pain from a Spondylolisthesis. Dr Murray was patient, clear and concise with her therapy. The at home workouts were easy to follow on their app. 6 months of staying after it I completed my athletic goal for the year PAIN FREE! This was huge because when I came in I had little hope. I enthusiastically recommend Avant Physical Therapy.
