MTI Physical Therapy - Issaquah

My husband and I are in our 70’s- been around the block a few times with Physical Therapists. Not one has compared to our experience with Peter Carlson.

Peter seems to have encyclopedic knowledge of the human body. He always listens carefully to our physical health issues, and is able to help us. We feel safe in Peter’s care performing the delicate body adjustments on our senior bodies, in a very respectful manner. He has shown us patience and diligence.

On a human level, we find Peter extremely personable, and caring very much that we get the results we are looking for from P.T.

6 months prior to my husband seeing Peter, he went to various back and pain specialists, who told him that he cannot be helped and he’d have to live with his lower back pain. Enter Peter Carlson. Peter’s help in this matter worked so well that my husband is able to work full time, walk 5-7 miles a day, and live a full active life.

I started going to MTI at the suggestion of a family member who said ‘you MUST go to MTI, and you MUST see Peter in Issaquah’.

I made an appt and knew he was the real deal from the moment I met him. So knowledgeable, a total professional, and deeply cares about finding the root cause and healing his patients. I love that he thinks about overall heath and wellness and his approach to patient care is always collaborative. He’s also just a really nice guy with a warm presence.

I mentioned that I had just purchased a bicycle, and he offered me to bring it in to make sure the seat and handle bars we appropriately set up for me. Something I really wouldn’t have thought of on my own.

I have now referred several family members and friends to Peter, who have all been equally as impressed with his work.

When my parents go to see him, he always asks how I’m doing, and vice versa.

Make an appt/ get on his waitlist asap!

I have gone to MTI Physical Therapy several times over the years and I always get great care and would recommend them for any of your PT needs.

The Physical Therapist, Anika, is professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I’m showing progress everyday thanks to her. Michelle, the receptionist, always greets me with a smile and calls me by my name. This is a wonderful organization.

Super service.
Michelle is excellent. Certainly knows her stuff.

Some issues take months to fix so I have named my bad shoulder Michelle. At some point down the road, if I continue with the exercises she has prescribed, maybe it be "cured." In the meantime I'd give MTI and Michelle more stars if they were available.

I've always liked MTI for my physical therapy needs. The facility is nice and clean, and has all the necessary equipment. Anika is amazing! She really takes the time to understand how I'm doing, what's bothering me and how I'm progressing, and makes adjustments to my exercises based on that. I love that she's also a runner and mountaineer; I feel like she just "gets it" and is helping me get out there and enjoy the outdoors. She's patient, kind and knowledgeable. I'm lucky to have found her. Yes, PT is hard but conversation with her makes it enjoyable.

We have been seeing Peter at MTI physical therapy for a few years now off and on. He is amazing and has helped multiple people in our family heal and return to their activities.

We highly recommend using MTI physical therapy in Issaquah as your physical therapist. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. We have been pleased with our experience at there!

Michelle is very attentive to my condition ,
provides a variety of exercises adjusted to my needs and my ability.
Great manual therapy.
Punctual .
I love the mobile app MTI uses for the exercises, easy to use and follow the exercise program.

MTI Issaquah is the place to go when you have a need in physical therapy. Having back issues I was referred to this office by a doctor. My PT Michelle M. is a highly knowledgeable and experienced professional that knows how to interact with and approach her patients. Overall I highly recommend MTI physical therapy in Issaquah to anyone seeking help of a PT.

MTI is awesome! I have worked at and have even been treated at other physical therapy clinics in the past where the therapist is treating multiple patients at the same time so only 1/3 of your time is with the therapist and 2/3 is with the assistant. Not here! 100% of your time is with the therapist!

And, of course, I can’t leave out my therapist - Alli Gibbons. After treating my back following a motor vehicle accident, I did not hesitate returning to her for help with a stubborn left ankle. I like that she is patient and really listens! After about 5 visits for my ankle, I talked to the dr and to her. On my next visit, she changed things up and so far I’ve seen huge results! If you’re in need of physical therapy and want to get better, go to MTI and see Alli!

I was long time due for the review for Andrea and Mike. I was working with Andrea primary, but I would give Mike 5 stars as well, I saw him a few times. As well as office staff. Great place! I came to this MTI office after visiting different office (physical therapy not MTI) with no success. I am pretty dedicated person and worked following all recommendation of another therapist with NO success. No improvements. Very disappointing.
So my last resort was MTI and it was recommended by wonderful doctor in the Seattle Spine medicine clinic. I completed my rehabilitation program with Andrea in 8 months and got rid of my chronic back pain. I am able to live now pain free or almost free. They gave me exercise program that I still follow. BUT I don't have everyday pain! It is almost a year since I completed the program and I feel so much better. If I need to do the exercises the rest of my life I will and I am planning to. Just to live without pain.
Andrea is awesome, very thoughtful, really good listener, careful and paying attention to little things and warnings. Oh, and she is very knowledgeable. I started to see improvements in a few weeks after I started the program. Andrea is wonderful person and wonderful doctor. Thank you so much, Andrea! I was able to return to my favorite hiking. Now even better then before, I can hike in the mountains with a heavy load and currently working on my stamina. But I would not be able to do it without MTI. Thank you again! You are the best.

Apparently I'm getting old, because I've now twice had to visit therapists at MTI in Issaquah. Both times the experience has been very positive (and effective!). Both Anika and Peter put a lot of effort into listening to me and encouraging me. Even more importantly, their work has made a big difference in having an effective recovery.

Best physical therapy I’ve ever had! I’ve come to Peter 3 times now for various injuries and he is awesome! He looks at the problem as a whole rather than just my knee or just my back. He is very friendly and helpful! I feel like my therapy just flies by and I’m back to running or biking or hiking within just a few sessions. Michelle at the front desk is very welcoming and helpful too! Can’t say enough good things about this office!

Unfortunately, I have had the "opportunity" to have physical therapy for several different injuries. I have gone to a few different physical therapists at MTI, and they all have been excellent. I am currently working with Andrea Jones. She's fantastic. She is good at diagnosing, and talks through what she thinks, how she is approaching the therapy, and why. She is very personable, and manages to turn what could be a tedious weekly event into an enjoyable break in the day. She asks questions and listens, and responds (with a smile) to whatever uncoordinated thing I've done that week to undermine my healing. I highly recommend her, but truly, I've never had a bad experience with an MTI therapist.

I came in for some thumb soreness which I believed to be solely a tendon issue. Andrea Jones quickly isolated the tension and explained the possibilities as well as outcomes. Fast forward a month and a half and I am much less tense, with a comfortably flexible thumb joint and tendon, and am working on my posture and certain muscular weaknesses I wasn’t aware I had. This was an easy process and I felt supported every step of the way. This is an incredible pt office that employs a modern and updated medical approach that addressed my problems quickly. The therapist I saw (Andrea Jones) was highly knowledgeable and made understanding the reasons for my ailment easy. As well as how to progress and correct not only these issues, but work towards a healthier baseline that may prevent future issues. Highly recommend this business

Kayaking and hiking injuries to a shoulder and a knee sent me to Peter at MTI Issaquah. I was extremely impressed with Peter right from the beginning -- his training, experience, and manner. At our initial session, we had a productive give-and-take about my issues. Then he did careful manual assessments and made a thorough evaluation. The therapy plan, including a series of exercises Peter designed for me to do at home, has been very effective. It's been great working with Peter -- a real collaboration, which is what I was looking for.

The clinic is comfortable; social distancing and masking is respected. Peter Carlson is a really great physical therapist. He is careful, detailed, listens and carefully examines and demonstrates which exercises I can do at home.

I received great care after surgery to correct a broken heel during Covid. Peter Carlson was nice, understanding and did an expert job with my difficult recovery. I’m doing very well now thanks to his great care

Peter Carlson is amazing and the staff at MTI are gracious and incredibly helpful.

I appreciate the fact that they truly listen and understand what your symptoms are and then develop a plan of treatment for you. It's not an overnight cure, but a process of team work. They are very caring, positive and supportive in your treatment.
