 Outpatient Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation has been serving people in the South King County for over 40 years. We have clinics located in Auburn, Covington, Kent’s East Hill, Kent Valley, Maple Valley, Puyallup, and Renton.   

We believe that you deserve to receive the highest level of personalized therapy services that can be provided by this profession. Many of our therapists have attained advanced board certifications to promote this higher level of quality care. These certifications range from Certified Orthopedic Specialist (OCS), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Sports Certified Specialist (SCS), and some are progressing in their Fellowship of American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT). These advanced certifications are challenging to achieve and maintain in this profession. 

Not many companies talk about their billing and administrative departments, however, ours has been recognized by a national group for processing insurance claims in a timely manner and with minimal number of errors. These attributes of our therapists and administrative departments translate into fewer visits with less insurance and billing problems for you. 

 At Outpatient Physical Therapy, patients see licensed professionals for at least 45 minutes, each and every visit . This philosophy helps our patients have a positive rehab experience and has given OPT a solid reputation in our community and with our referring physicians 

 You may have chronic back pain from your job, or you may have just had surgery on your shoulder as a result of an on-the-job injury. Your Physical Therapist will work with you one-on-one each visit to carry out a rehabilitation program that is tailored to your specific condition and job requirements.   Treatment may include hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, body mechanics instruction and pain-relieving modalities. 

Our massage therapists voted the “Best of Maple Valley & Covington” use a technique that is different from most. We offer Treatment Massage, which focuses specifically on treating the area that is injured.

Our goal is to decrease your symptoms by 50% within the first 4 visits. Treatment massage works on getting the muscles to relax, & then stretched while PT strengthens the injured muscles and those around it, in order to prevent reoccurring injury.

 Benefits of Aquatic Therapy include; increasing flexibility and joint mobility, facilitating proper body mechanics, strengthening muscles, improving balance and agility, and reducing joint swelling and pain. When doing Aquatic Therapy, we will develop an individualized program utilizing buoyancy and resistance of water to provide a workout in a low-impact, low-stress environment. 

Throughout life, a woman’s body experiences changes and not all of them are comfortable.  At Outpatient Physical Therapy our Women’s Health therapists understand female-specific concerns and offer a comprehensive evaluation and full range of physical therapy and therapeutic massage to help.

 Frequent falling can be a symptom of many different issues. Our physical therapists can evaluate your condition and recommend the correct course of action.  The OPT Fall Prevention program is a service offered all six OPT clinics that provide comprehensive fall risk assessment and treatment for patients who have fallen or who are at risk for falling. Falls are not a normal part of aging. Falls can get more serious over time, but the risks can be reduced by working on all the possible causes. We should be able to help you to avoid falls. 

Working from home can be challenging for many reasons. We can help! Our ergonomic specialist designs/ modifies the work space to fit the worker, not the other way around. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to work. We offer virtual and in-clinic consultations!

Our extraordinary team of Sports Medicine Physicians, Physical Therapists and Trainers will evaluate and develop a personalized return-to-sport plan. We treat all athletes all levels. 

" I just had the opportunity to do a telehealth appointment with my physical therapist Jessica.  I have to say it went smoothly and was easy to setup. To get ready for my appointment I just set my laptop on the floor: propped it against the wall, launched my email, opened the email from Jessica, and clicked on Microsoft Team Meetings link as instructed.  About 5 minutes later Jessica was smiling at me on the screen.  Jessica was able to then talk me through new exercises while also demonstrating herself.  I would then replicate the same exercises on the floor and she would provide feedback.  Pretty much just like being at their office.  I am so happy that Outpatient Physical Therapy gave me this telehealth option and highly recommend their services.
