Integrative Physical Therapy Services

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Ed for the past 5 years. He has helped me work through various injuries that have resulted from working in construction and other outdoor activities. Ed's mixture of in person appointments and at home exercises have allowed me to heal quickly and be pain free in less time than expected so I am able to be back at work and play. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone who is experiencing physical pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I've seen Ed on a regular basis for many years. His holistic approach to healing is unusual but a game-changer in creating lasting pain relief, healing, and improved strength/flexibility. I was involved in serious ski and motor vehicle accidents many years ago. Ed helps me work within my body's limitations to continue to move and strengthen despite old injuries. Through flare ups, re-injuries, and setbacks, Ed is a steadfast coach and educator. I never leave an appointment without homework. Ed's passion is to keep people aging and MOVING to sustain as much quality of life as possible within whatever constraints a person has. The frosting on the cake is that Ed's just an incredibly compassionate human being. Every friend I've recommended to his practice has circled back to me with rave reviews.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a patient of Ed’s for several years now. I have many chronic illnesses including fibromyalgia. When I have an appointment with Ed, I run through the areas on my body giving me pain. He’s very good at listening but he also realizes that even though I say my middle back is hurting, my middle back is also connected to my upper and lower back. In order to help, you have to look at the full picture, what connects to what, what influences what etc. I think this is vital and not every PT I’ve seen takes this comprehensive approach. Also, like I said, I have many chronic illness and Ed is very good at adapting stretches and exercises for me specifically. For example, I have a hard time standing for any length of time so he adapts exercises that I can do while sitting or laying down. Ed has been a huge help with my chronic pain and I would recommend him, and have recommended him, to anyone searching for a PT.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed and Elizabeth are simply the best - very helpful, thoughtful, and so generous of their time and talent. I've been going to Ed for years and in my earlier days experienced Elizabeth's expertise with children. Now I see Ed when necessary and look at his videos fairly frequently and refer friends to do the same. They are both such an asset to our community. Thanks, Ed and Elizabeth!

Experiencia fantástica: After seeing several practitioners and finding little relief for an enduring hip issue, I found Ed Deboo online and started watching his YouTube videos. Bellingham is a short enough drive from Vancouver, BC, so I made an appointment. // Ed was the gamechanger I needed to start healing. His techniques are unique, and his understanding of the human body is unmatched. Even after one session, my hip relief was obvious. My nephew also started seeing Ed. He's worth the drive!

Experiencia fantástica: Ed and Elizabeth have a multi-dimensional approach to wellness. I’ve had the privilege of working with them in person and have found Ed’s therapy videos to be really easy to follow and spot on. I’m so appreciative that they share their incredible knowledge and insight with others and I truly believe they are gifted healers. The videos are accessible and cover so many practical topics. If you have the chance to experience them online or in person, do it! Your body will be grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. He has a very holistic perspective and his body work is intuitive, precise and highly skilled. He is one of my favorite practitioners. Plus he is super funny. Laughter is so healing, esp when I have shown up in pain. I feel better after every visit.

Experiencia fantástica: I am one of many in Bellingham who consider Ed Deboo to be our go-to PT when we need an assessment of some new ache or pain and/or a set of effective exercises or practices that we can do at home to keep fit or get over an injury. He is a good listener and individually tailors his recommendations. His office is comfortable and private. He does not bill insurance. He does do electronic scheduling, billing, and receipts.

Experiencia fantástica: I found Ed and Integrative Physical Therapy Services through Geoffrey & Maria Knight my Pilates instructors. I had chronic joint pain and through Ed feel like I got my aging body back to good working order. Ed's knowledge and well-named integrative therapy techniques are a resource I would not want to do without - ever! He has helped me manage too much time in my desk chair to write this book.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed is a key person for my physical health. He is very helpful in addressing all my concerns and issues. It is very helpful to get recommendations on what I can do to improve or maintain my well being. He is always very present, attentive and interested in my health.

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen both Ed and Elizabeth-- Ed for over 10 years for PT for a variety of issues including frozen shoulder and hip issues as well as neck stiffness and pain; Elizabeth for energy work. They listen well and give positive feedback and make suggestions for my overall health and well-being, not just for the problem that I came in for. I recommend them both very highly!--Ellen

Experiencia fantástica: Ed Deboo is a skilled and dedicated PT. On many occasions he has treated injuries and gotten me back to full and better health. I refer people to him all the time. Jane M.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently saw Ed Deboo for a hamstring issue - at least, I thought it was a hamstring issue. He is amazingly thorough, investigating every thing up and down the chain, assessing range of motion, strength, flexibility, etc. He is kind and caring and gave me great advice. And I learned a lot about fascia! And of course, became pain free in a short period of time.

Experiencia fantástica: Of all the physical therapists I have used through the years Ed Deboo has been the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed DeBoo is patient, thorough, and highly skilled. After an appointment with him I always leave feeling great relief from pain and discomfort. He clearly explains how muscles, bones and tissues work, what's out of alignment, what he's doing with each step of treatment, and what I can do to maintain and improve on the progress made in the office. The homework is so important! Ed provides exercises that are clearly diagrammed and well explained. I happily recommend Integrative Physical Therapy to anyone who wants to feel better, and gain a better understanding of how their body works, and what to do to improve and maintain health and mobility.

Experiencia fantástica: A serious horse accident has kept me from being able to ride my horses without serious hip/pelvis/knee pain for nearly three years. In less than 10 visits Ed has made it possible for me to ride again. Highly recommend IPTS. I'm not 100% but am sooooooo much better.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed is the best physical therapist that I have worked with over the years. He has been able to help me and get to the root of the problem as no other. I have learned a lot from him as he is able to pass on his knowledge in a simple, understandable manner. I like that he doesn't just treat one body part as all the parts are connected and one can affect another. He is kind, personable and has a great sense of humor! He encourages me over and over in different ways to get the best result by doing my home exercises and stretches as faithfully and consistently as I can. He is understanding when I fall short. Definitely 5 stars!

Experiencia fantástica: The best!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Ed and his wife Elizabeth are premier physical therapists in Bellingham. I work in the health and fitness industry and often send clients to Ed because of the success he sees with his clients and his dedication to them. He has an informative news letter, and uploads fantastic youtube videos on how to fix limitations and alleviate pain. Integrative Physical Therapy goes out of their way to make sure you feel healthy. If you're unsure which physical therapist you should see, I encourage you to feel confident choosing Ed and Elizabeth.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to Integrative Therapy Services many times over the past 8 years or more. Ed DeBoo is one of the best PT people I have encountered. He's knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always gives you the straight scoop. He gave me some exercises to work on my back, and they have helped me tremendously.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Intergravitive physical therapy for many years. Ed has fixed both of my tennis elbows and did all my rotator cuff post surgery therapy on both of my shoulders. He also has help my daughter with her hip pain and her post surgery meniscus repair. I would highly recommend Ed DeBoo and associates. I would never go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed helped with an injury that it seems another PT made worse. I trust his work and am very happy.

Experiencia fantástica: Died Deboo helped me with two different, persistent and painful problems that I couldn't solve on my own, with a doctor, or with other PTs. I had a shoulder issue I'd struggled with for a year and a half that is over now. I am in my late sixties and want to continue to be active so his help is invaluable.

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen Ed Deboo at Integrative Physical Therapy Services as needed for injury or osteoarthritis for several years, and have had superb results. Ed practices manual physical therapy, which is rare in most practices. Ed effectively incorporates stretching, movement, strengthening and education into his practice. As a result, I've vastly improved my range of motion and my pain has been minimized. If you want a full rehabilitation, this is the place to go.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first experience with physical therapy and I was immensely impressed with the care the two PTs who worked with me took. They were very careful I understood what was going on, prepared me for every touch, and encouraged me to understand that their job was to help relieve pain and that it was indeed possible! I have to say their attitude buoyed up my spirits and with their help my relationship with my body really shifted. Ed's regular blog posts are so generous. I recommend Ed and Integrative Physical Therapy Services whole-heartedly!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Ed Deboo with a small meniscus tear and a Mcl strain. The therapy and exercises really helped my knee. I am back to full activity and have no pain all without having surgery. Months later I had a rotator cuff problem. It has responded very well to the therapy and exercises that ed recommened. I would highly recommend Ed Deboo and innovative physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing. Ed is simply an amazing physical therapist. No tricks. No gimmicks. He evaluated my posture and give me exercises to strengthen my weak muscle groups. In essence he saved my life by giving me the tools to heal.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed's knowledge and ability to diagnose the root cause of my pains is better than any I've experienced. He gives very doable exercises and stretches and I always feel better soon after seeing him.

Experiencia fantástica: Great and knowledgeable clinic. You feel cared about when you come here.

Experiencia fantástica: See Ed ! This is not like most PT clinics. He works with you for the entire visit. Hands on & attentive care. Also he will give you info to take home so your progress & number of appts are up to you. ********** Not only did he help me with my shoulder.....I saw rapid results for my neighbor that had nerve problems in his feet & trouble walking.

Experiencia fantástica: I have fibromyalgia with particular problems with my right arm, neck, and shoulders, and left hip.. Ed has been a life-saver for me with his hands-on therapy and exercises that have helped relieve the sometimes intense pain and muscle spasms. As a result I have been able to continue working and being active. Thanks so much. Greta

Experiencia fantástica: Ed''s been a great resource, not just to solve an acute problem but also to address bigger picture issues to keep it (and others) from recurring. If you like your PTs methodical and thoughtful, you'll probably appreciate him very much.

Experiencia fantástica: Very informative; helped a lot. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciate working with Ed very much! He has been tremendously knowledgable, intuitive, respectful, and skilled at assessing and treating my arthritic hip and tight shoulders and the effects so that my mobility is continually improving. Very reasonable rates for excellent care.

Experiencia fantástica: Our entire family, adults and kids, has been coming to IPTS for years. Ed is a professional, caring, exceptionally skilled provider and never treats a problem in isolation. It's so fortunate for our community to have a PT who really wants to spend productive time with the patient rather than rushing through an appointment, and we leave his office always feeling better than when we went in. Ed also excels at explaining what is happening and giving the patient tricks and exercises to try at home, within reasonable limits but with the aim of maintaining and improving health. Highly, highly recommend Integrative Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed has helped me with a multiple problems my low back,ribs and lower legs to name a few and in doing this he has saved my from a great deal of discomfort and pain. He has also given me the tools to work at home with so I can continue to heal and strengthen the injured areas.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed is the best I’ve worked with. I’ve had back problems for 20 years and am very active. Ed’s hands on approach and ability to give me guidance and direction has allowed me to resume my active lifestyle. I have not seen my old chiropractor since I met Ed!

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable, Professional, Personable. Ed is a wizard!

Experiencia fantástica: Shoulder has gotten significantly better in the short while since going here, despite it being resistent to healing beforehand. I love how he has videos reminding you how to do the stretches & exercises that he sends you home with (after going over it carefully and slowly during your session). A very caring and knowledgeable practitioner who is a very good listener, I would highly recommend IPT to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: If you are looking for the upmost of professionalism and services then this is the right choice. I have been a previous client with some almost impossible ailments and was more than satisfied with Ed and staff. Thanks again, Ed.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed was amazing! I had a 70% tear in my rotator cuff which caused pain in my right arm and under my shoulder blade. By the time I went for surgery I had no pain, so unusual, the doctors didn't believe me.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been to several physical therapists over the past 20 years and would recommend only two. Ed is one I highly recommend. Ed’s is able to apply his extensive knowledge of the human anatomy, kinesiology, and functional movement to assess his patient’s condition, administer treatment, and prescribe exercises to improve their health. Ed communicates well with his patients and takes the time to ensure effective results. Ed listens to his patients and is considerate in regards their needs and personal space.

Experiencia fantástica: I was in a car crash in 2013. With the help of Ed and Leah I was able to recognize what I can do to improve my tissue sensitivity, increase my strength & improve my posture. By actually doing the exercises my physical health has improved. I watch Ed's videos fairly regularly & many have been timely & helpful. Understanding how my body works & working it, has helped me to treat it better, thanks Ed & Leah!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen both Ed and Elizabeth and they are both beyond effective, each in their own way. Over the years Ed has gotten me out of pain and patterns that have locked into my body--frozen shoulders, a constantly clutched periformis, neck jams and more... The great thing about seeing Ed is that he spends the appointment hands on and it is like getting an osteopathic treatment...or like the most educated of massages. Concurrently he explains what is going on in the body which is very empowering. He always gives really targeted and effective home exercises that I feel motivated to do because of his careful explanations. I have sent a number of friends to Ed, especially the ones with chronic problems and each has been finally helped out of their pain pattern as well. Elizabeth has a different and beautiful approach. She is extremely intuitive and I went to see her when one of my pain patterns stubbornly would not respond to ongoing treatment. She was able to help me, through my body, to understand an underlying emotional component. Once that was moved out the pattern cleared. We are lucky to have these two in our community. Go see them if you want to feel better!

Experiencia fantástica: Ed is the third physical therapist I've seen for a knee problem. While the first two definitely helped, Ed has been able to add new insights, and my knee function is steadily improving. I look forward to working with Ed on my shoulder. Check out Ed's videos on youtube! There's so much we can do to maintain good health.

Experiencia fantástica: Ed has an amazing sense of the human body, and fantastic bedside manner. I couldn't ask for a better therapist for our whole family.
