IRG Physical & Hand Therapy - Ballard

Fantastic experience: My experience at IRG has been so great! The staff and therapists are so nice and caring. I really feel taken care of by Katie and team. They want to help me feel better and I really appreciate it!

Fantastic experience: IRG gave me the best physical therapist I’ve ever had - Yifei Xiao. She has an amazing knowledge of knee function and anatomy and detected subtle differences in the way I walk just by observation and listening to what I said. The exercises she prescribed actually made a difference in my gait and reduced knee pain I’ve had for years and thought was incurable. With my original gait my knees got worse with every step but now walking correctly is making me stronger and I have less chronic knee pain. Thanks Yifei!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Healing for the joints and the soul. Yifei is the best therapist!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seen by both PTs and OTs at IRG- Ballard over the past 2 years. They have an incredible staff with wide variety of expertise. Whatever you are dealing with, even if your PT/OT doesn’t have the knowledge, they work collaboratively as team to treat patients in a holistic way. It is a very refreshing experience compared to other healthcare settings.

Fantastic experience: PT has been essential in regaining function and trust in my dislocated, torn shoulder. IRG feels like a crossfit gym for broken people, all of us in a shared space, each working out his own recovery, with a common purpose. I like the vibe, my rehab sessions with Dr. Padilla, and am making rapid progress. Chances are quite good that I may live a normal life again when our work is complete. Don't skimp on the PT.

Fantastic experience: Great people very patience listen to what you have to say. Therapist are awesome very caring. I would recommend them to anyone

Fantastic experience: Marty is an amazing PT and has been a great help to me ! Can't recommend IRG enough!!!

Fantastic experience: The staff at IRG are welcoming and very helpful! My Therapist, Rosemary is great to work with and challenges me in a positive and productive way! She’s great!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t swing a bat or throw a baseball, I thought my baseball career was over and I would have to de-commit from the college I was committed to play baseball for. Dr. Marty saved my career and fixed my Neck/Tricep injury. Very professional, helpful, insightful, respectful, kind. Any good quality trait in a human being, he has it. I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: The staff and doctors are just lovely. I came in not being able to get an appointment with my doctor for six weeks out. I hoped I could get an appointment with them but insurance wasn't covered there. They , out of pure compassion saw me right away on the spot, did what they could to give me some relief that helped me a lot. And did it for FREE. Pure compassion that is never seen these days. They are absolutely saints. Glenn Estes

Fantastic experience: I have been seen at IRG physical therapy on NW. Market St. in Seattle. Rosemary is my PT. She has been helping me rehab my shoulder after total reverse shoulder replacement. She has been an excellent practitioner, and has been very patient with my lack of coordination! The clinic is clean, the space has very high ceilings and feels airy. I am very satisfied with my care at IRG. I previously was seen at another local PT office and did not feel as well taken care of as I have here.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a couple of sessions so far with Mackenzie Johnson and am already finding her work so helpful. I would gladly see her again for any future PT needs. The clinic itself is also pleasant and clean with friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, especially Trevor.

Fantastic experience: I was delighted with my experience here; the professionalism of all the staff is excellent. My therapist was very knowledgeable and great to work with.

Fantastic experience: Yifei Xiao @ IRG is amazing! You can’t go wrong here for Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: I've worked with a lot of therapists over the years and there's something special about this clinic. They're a group of kind experts who are passionate about helping you heal and I feel lucky to have found them.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to PT at the Ballard IRG clinic to rehab a full knee replacement. I’ve been so pleased with every visit. Trevor has been my therapist and without his help my recovery would not be where it is after three weeks. The staff seem to work well together and I’ve not seen any therapist who wasn’t completely focused on their patient. This is a great place.

Fantastic experience: Young and her team are exceptional. I've received a very personalized, attentive plan, great guidance and flexible scheduling. I highly recommend IRG Ballard for your PT needs.

Fantastic experience: Great care with great results!

Fantastic experience: I had an auto accident 2 yrs ago. Used massage, chiropractor, PT... everything. But I found Bowenwork OT at IRG around 6 months ago and am so grateful. Huge difference in my life. Love them!

Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with my experience here, and would happily recommend my therapist.

Fantastic experience: I have gone here two separate times over the past three years due to a chronic back and neck injury. I have in the past also gone to reputable locations for physical therapy and the other locations were not able to breakdown my needs enough to help me sustain my strength and prevent re-injury. At IRG Ballard, the team helped me by breaking down every workout to the most basic step and helping me gradually strengthen before introducing the progressing step. This was what has been the absolute most helpful process for my neck and back. I have significantly reduced my pain which felt like it would never go away. I have the knowledge to continue my program at home to maintain my strength without re-injury. As it turns out, I may have to go back over time to address my neck and back strength over time and I can’t think of a better place that will help me address the cote issue and help me build-up and sustain my progress.

Fantastic experience: My bowen specialist is a wonderful individual holistically and definitely five stars to my care team about my physiological setback. I have had bowen treatment before and only wish she was a provider closer to home for me! IRG offices are located in my community, but not with a bowen provider. The Ballard office itself I would rate 3.5 stars - maybe four stars because has a wonderful reception staff - (I have NEVER known an office with greater patience), but my own appointment scheduling is often the day and timing just after your IRG meetings and is disconcerting to arrive only five minutes before my appointment and the exterior office door into the building to be locked - especially in coronavirus phase 2 timing. Now that I know, I make a point to arrive right on time to my scheduled appointment, but I suggest timing your appointment windows 15 minutes later on your IRG meeting days so your patients aren't startled. Also, inter-office privacy during treatment ("over-flow" feeling/ awareness of other practitioners in adjacent offices during known in-office treatment privacy unfortunately feels invasive to privacy and ability for best strength gains/ healing time about the individual treatment.) My own practitioner is a professional and although I don't expect anyone to be "perfect", you can only have understanding to a point and ONLY to a point. Please affirm a stance that honors and respects the fact of patients caring about individual treatment time and individual health. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Amanda and she has pinned down the problem with my reoccurring back pain. She listens and when my back flares up now the spasms don’t last as long. She was determined to get to the root of the problem. I also started seeing Rachael for OT and excited to see the final piece of the puzzle come together. Pain is nothing anyone should live with. At IRG they listen and put you on a treatment plan, it might not make sense but it all works. They have given me exercises to do at home and as long as you do them you will notice a huge difference. Thank you IRG

Fantastic experience: I broke two bones in my wrist while cross country skiing in Dec. After surgery and being in a splint for four weeks, my wrist was so stiff that I had almost no movement. My doctor was great and referred me to IRG for physical therapy. I am so grateful for the specialized care and treatment that I received from Rebekah. She is very skilled in hand therapy and dealing with injuries. She also is a great coach and inspired me to make an effort to work on exercises at home . After eight weeks, I was able to get back to yoga and push ups. I could not have accomplished all this without her help. I will be eternally thankful for the assistance I received at IRG.

Fantastic experience: Vicki Luebbe is hands down the best physical therapist I have ever seen. I was referred to her by one of the top doctors in the state, who is picky about who he sends his patients to. I kid you not, I had improvement after the first visit! I have seen the other therapists in action as well, Gina in particular. They are all fantastic. Expect top knotch hands on manipulations, muscle work, and appropriate physical exercises for building strength. They are careful not to aggravate injuries, and help you get better faster. I have never felt rushed or like their attention is elsewhere, something I have noticed at other clinics in the past. They are very focused and give you the time you need in your appointment. On top of that - I needed to begin treatment during the spring 2020 COVID19 pandemic, and I cannot tell you enough about how professional and helpful they have been! This is obviously a trying time for everyone, but they have made me feel so comfortable and safe.

Fantastic experience: Quite possibly the best PT/OT clinic in Seattle and I’m not sure it’s close. I was originally referred here for physical therapy after an ankle operation and have since also began utilizing their occupational therapy services. The PT/OT therapists, while excellent on their own, also do a great job of working together to provide holistic treatment strategies for their patients outside of simply treating acute issues. Since finding this clinic my ankle injury has healed and I have seen improvements across the board in my body’s mobility and alignment. Their entire staff of therapists is extremely knowledgeable and seem to be respected leaders within the industry. Hope this clinic is around for good because IRG has ruined traditional PT clinics for me!

Fantastic experience: I have seen many therapists and I havent seen more qualified,experienced and credentialed PTs than here at IRG. They have FAAOMPTs to SMTs and they know so much more than what MDs dont. I had good results in a matter of 2-3 visits after seeing other PTs for months where i didnt see any.

Fantastic experience: I took three drop in yoga classes here while on a recent visit to Seattle. The classes were really good since they were taught by the staff at the Center for Structural Medicine, who are trained in a variety of modalities related to fascial integrity ..... basically treatments for healing our often damaged connective tissue. The teacher was also a well qualified yoga instructor and while the class was for strength, it was easy to follow and modify as needed . It was a good mix of a work out and some helpful mental reminders about keeping our thoughts and limbs moving along intentional lines. Would recommend this place to anyone interested in healing and strengthening their body.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Liz Durkin here for reoccurring acute pain I get in my hip flexor for a couple years now. She is -amazing- and my pain is completely gone, and stays gone for at least a few months. I love the holistic approach they have here, and I always leave feeling relaxed and different in a good way. Bowenwork is not to be underestimated, it’s incredibly gentle and yet very effective in my experience. If you deal with ANY kind of pain, chronic or acute I highly recommend you check this place out. It’s a gem.
