Headaches
Arthritis
Arthritis causes pain and inflammation, and it can affect one or multiple joints at once. According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis affects over 50 million people and it is currently the leading cause of disability across the nation. There are more than 100 types of arthritis, with the most common being rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition and is a type of inflammatory arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis develops as an autoimmune response, meaning that the immune system sees the joints as a threat and decides to attack them. Because it is an autoimmune condition, it is common for it to affect the same joints on both sides of the body. Unlike the wear and tear damage from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints and causes a painful swelling that can eventually lead to bone erosion and joint deformity if not addressed. The inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis can damage other areas of the body as well, including the skin, eyes, lungs, and heart. Since it is an inflammatory disease, it is also common to have a low grade fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. Researchers have come to believe that your medical history, environment, and hormones could all be contributing factors toward the development of rheumatoid arthritis. It is typically more prevalent in females than males and although you can be diagnosed at any age, it tends to develop between the ages of 30 and 50.

Urinary Incontinence
Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery, 25 (2): 149-153. [2] Bø, K, Herbert RD. (2013). There is not yet strong evidence that exercise regimens other than pelvic floor muscle training can reduce stress urinary incontinence in women: a systematic review.

Gynecologists

Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
For the pregnant person seeking basic pelvic floor infomraiton, posture and breathing education, pregnancy-safe exercise, and labor and delivery prep with partner.

Neurologists

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel symptoms often originate in the neck. Repetitive tasks of the hands, such as typing or prolonged gripping, can lead to inflamed tendons. These inflamed tendons end up placing compression on the median nerve at the wrist, which is a condition known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Once the nerve is irritated, tingling and hand weakness can result. Not only neck issues, but hormone fluctuations increase inflammation putting you more at risk for CTS. This is most often seen in pregnant women, and women between the ages of 34-60.

Psychiatrists

Stress Management
At your first session, a detailed medical history will be taken by your provider. This will include questions about relevant surgeries, reproductive history, exercise habits, sleep patterns, nutrition, stress management and pelvic floor functions (e.g., bladder, bowel habits). We understand that some of these questions are deeply personal. We want to honor your experience, while also creating a safe space for you to share your full history so that we can create the most effective program for you.

Radiologist

Ultrasound
Your plan will likely include orthopedic manual therapy to increase your range of motion and flexibility, specific exercises to improve balance, mobility, and strength to enhance your performance. It will also include a biomechanical assessment of the joints located above and below your injury to help prevent future issues. You may have had diagnostic testing prior to your appointment; if so, your physical therapist will review those diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound, with you. Treatment plans will take into account the nature of your injury, your fitness level, and your lifestyle. These are all done to help you recover after your sports injury and to prevent further injuries from occurring in the future.
MRI
Imaging does not show pain. You may have a negative MRI but still have shoulder pain, weakness, restricted joint motion and faulty shoulder mechanics. You may also have “positive” findings on your MRI with a joint that is pain-free or normal. “Aging on the inside” often leads to changes in tissue that are normal but described as “degenerative” on imaging. An MRI should be used as part of a more thorough clinical evaluation. Finding the source of your pain, however, is just the beginning. Often the

Orthopedics
Dr. Julie Baron is the Director of MTI’s Pelvic Health & Performance Center. She received her BA in Biological Sciences in 2005 from Colby College in Maine and earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2009 from Rutgers University in New Jersey. During her professional training she received multiple awards for excellence in academics, research, leadership, and community service. After starting her career in her home state of New Jersey, Julie relocated to Washington in 2012 where she pursued her love of sports and orthopedics at Proliance Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation and PHENIX Physical Therapy & Personal Wellness.
Sciatica
Not every pain running down the back or your leg is sciatica, or even involving a nerve. There are many other tissues in the back, pelvis and even the hip that can refer pain down the back of the leg. If your pain is deep, dull and aching, it is likely from one of these tissues and not related to your nerves at all. The term sciatica refers to an irritation of the sciatic nerve resulting in pain that includes tingling and numbness. The sciatic nerve can be irritated by muscle and fascia as it passes through the back of your hip, irritated by bones as it leaves your spine, or be irritated by a disc problem in your back. Your OMPT trained physical therapist can help find and treat the cause of where the nerve is being irritated.
Whiplash
Whiplash can be very painful and restrict movement. The sudden movement of the neck and head in a car accident can cause whiplash. Blunt force trauma from a car accident can collapse lungs and break ribs.
Arthroscopy
A jaw specialist, typically specially trained dentists, may also use a dental splint to keep teeth properly aligned and prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement, or a TMJ arthroscopy.
Joint Replacement
This is a common phrase people use, sometimes even hearing this from their doctor. This can be a scary statement that can make a person feel they have no other option than to get a joint replacement. There are many options to try, and things you can do, before considering a joint replacement.

Hip Replacement
"If you are fortunate to have Samantha as your physical therapist, you will have an amazing recovery!! I have been a client of Sam's for 16+ years. I will never go anywhere else for physical therapy. She has helped me through a number of issues including neck & shoulder pain, knee pain, & hip replacement. I have had nothing but stellar care from her. She is a very innovative physical therapist utilizing a combo of manual manipulation and gym exercises. I always left each session feeling GREAT! I have been to other physical therapists over the years. They would load me up with exercises only to review them at the next P.T. session. There was never any gym workout and they didn't seem to care if I was progressing or not. Sam is VERY caring and professional and always made sure my questions were answered and I felt good about my progress. She truly cares about her clients. I liked that she would change up the gym routine from time to time which I felt helped my progress significantly. Sam is THE BEST physical therapist EVER! I give Sam my highest rating. She is the catzmeow!!"
Knee Replacement
"I had a total knee replacement in late Sept 2020 and by year end I was still experiencing significant pain, the knee was locking up, not able to perform normal activities and generally miserable. I was given a recommendation to go to Dan Druckhammer, which I did starting the first week of Jan 2021. My progress has been remarkable through mid February. The constant pain is gone, the strength in my leg/knee has returned, I can walk up / down stairs, I am back to being active around the house. I cannot say enough about the positive difference it has been working with Dan Druckhammer."

Frozen Shoulder
Also known as “adhesive capsulitis,” frozen shoulder can occur if your arm has been in a case or sling for a while, or if you have been bedridden for an extended period of time. Frozen shoulder results in a painful loss of motion in the shoulder with a tightening of the shoulder joint that severely limits motion. You may have been told to give it two years and it will “thaw”. Rather than suffer this long and waiting it out, there is a lot we can do to reduce pain, improve joint mobility and range of motion. Manual therapy and therapeutic exercise is indicated with the frozen shoulder diagnosis.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow refers to pain on the lateral or outside of the elbow, whereas golfer’s elbow refers to pain on the medial or inside of the elbow. Both of these injuries are a result of repetitive use and can be attributed to a variety of different tasks, not just the sports they are named after. The result can be a tendinopathy (tendinitis), with pain, weakness and loss of performance. If your tendon pain does not heal on its own in 4-6 weeks, there may be underlying reasons as to why your symptoms are persistent...

Manual Therapy
Joint mobilization is the hands-on approach your OMPT trained physical therapist uses to assess and treat your joints. Joint mobilization helps relieve pressure on joints (by improving the joint mechanics), reduce inflammation (by decreasing irritation), and decrease muscle tightness from protective guarding. It is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy technique that focuses on improving the joint mechanics and enhancing joint function.
TMJ Dysfunction
Do you have difficulty chewing or yawning? Do you experience jaw pain? Do you hear clicking noises when you open or close your mouth? If so, you may have TMJ dysfunction.

Achilles Tendonitis
Foot Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is associated with a weakening of the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. This can occur from aggravated overuse, such as constant standing, improper posture, or footwear that lacks proper arch support. Stiffness or weakness in the hip and knee can also overload this area. Sensitivity of the lower back nerves can also refer pain to this area. Your OMPT trained physical therapist can determine the origin of your plantar fascia pain.
