CorePhysio

I see Becky here and she is amazing. She has helped me so much in this year with treatment for back pain that I have. Their front desk staff is always so friendly and nice to deal with too. I would highly recommend this place for physical therapy.

My treatment here for knee surgery was terrific.
I chose Core because they understood my goals as an athlete.
They analyzed my body and my surgery and developed a set of treatments that addressed my whole body — realizing that perhaps my knee injury was a byproduct of some kinesiology issues and not just a single injury. My therapy included home exercises, soft tissue work, and some education about how i moved and how i might need to change that.
I saw several therapists, they all were very caring and attentive to my needs. They all had great ideas about my course, but at the same time they were united in my overall direction. They all are super knowledgable about your body, your sport, your issues. they can watch you walk, and know that you need some help not only with your knee, but maybe ankle and hip.
I never felt like i was being shuffled off to the assistant to do some exercises I could do at home. The appointment time was well spent. They teach you an exercise and then expect you to do it at home. If you dont do your homework, you wont get better.
I will be back here to resolve some other past injuries.
Only complaint would be that 45 minutes isnt quite long enough, would be great to have a few more minutes of soft tissue work after the intense part.

Core is the best! Since I have spine issues, and have been in two auto accidents, I have tried physical therapy many times, in many places in Bellingham. At most places the actual physical therapist evaluates you during the first visit and maybe you see him/​her the second visit as well. The «therapy» consists of giving you exercises to do at home, most of which I have seen in magazine articles. Sometimes they hook you up to a machine. After the second visit you see the assistant physical therapist or the assistant to the assistant therapist. I have never gotten anything out of physical therapy in spite of going to clinics that were highly recommended.
I was reluctant to try Core, after someone told about them, but I thought I’d give physical therapy one more try.
The experience there is totally different. At Core they don’t use assistants at all. You work with your therapist for 45 minutes every appointment. Most of them (maybe all) are PHD level or working to be. I swear they know more about the body than most doctors do. They are also pilates based which emphasizes developing strong core muscles along with exercises that target your particular problem. They have a full gym there and they watch you do the exercises so you’re sure to be doing them correctly. And the exercises seem to be more effective. They also do hands on therapy when needed. At other places the head therapist (if you ever see them again) never touches you.
Andrea and Becky are amazing. Their scope of knowledge about how the human body works is mind blowing! I haven’t seen the others but if they are allowed to work here I’m sure they are too. And so is Leslie the receptionist extraordinaire! I can’t say enough good things about Core.

Core is a fabulous place to get back into motion. I have been a client for a while, and the physical therapists are fabulous. Caring, holistic, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this clinic.
