I was referred to NW Sports after a traumatic work injury. I had an injured elbow, shoulder, and right bicep atrophy. I have never been seriously injured before, so this was my one and only experience with attending physical therapy. I am eternally grateful, that this was the place L&I referred me to for Physical Therapy.
On the very first day, I noticed that all of the physical therapists in the office had an amazing rapport with one another. It was refreshing, and I could tell they truly respected and enjoyed working together.
I am normally very quiet/shy but each and every single physical therapist who worked with me in the 5 month span I attended, made me feel really comfortable.
The physical work I had to do, may have been difficult - but the welcoming atmosphere, radiant compassion, the upbeat personalities, conversations and belly laughs — made it all the more easier to walk in and do the work. I think their ability to do just that, is admirable and very appreciated upon patients like myself.
The care I received was compassionate. They always asked how my injuries were doing, how I felt after the last appointment, they were receptive to me when I said I had been in pain, they listened to my concerns, + they answered my many questions. I think everyone on this team is a true gem to our community. They helped me gain my muscle back — and they kept me feeling motivated to keep going.
Thank you, Tacoma NW Sports.
