Therapeutic Associates Juanita Physical Therapy

I went in for a recurring shoulder and neck pain I was getting for a couple of weeks. I have been working with Ryne since the beginning and I have noticed a lot of improvement in my posture, and learned a lot about which muscles in my body were not active due to which I was over compensating by using the wrong muscles thereby making things worse for my neck and shoulders.
The one great thing I would like to point out is that Ryne does not recommend external support devices, and puts emphasis on doing the stretches the right way and engage the correct muscles. Also, the stretches and exercises do not use one limb to stretch another. For example, he never asks you to pull on on arm using the other to stretch it. This is something I was also told by a martial arts instructor — you always stretch as much as it goes on its own. You don’t use external devices or other limbs as that could damage the muscles and could generate scar tissue.
Another example is that I mentioned I was having trouble sitting in a good posture for longer than 10−15mins, and asked if I should get a cushion to support the pelvis and lower back. But he gave a very easy trick that I could employ without buying anything, and it actually works great!
Ryne also recommends doing all the exercises that you would typically do and gradually corrects the exercises if you are doing them wrong. I really like the attitude and professionalism of this association, and to me, it seems like the right things are being promoted without wasting money buying things that may or may not help you.
Side note, the staff is great too, funny, positive attitude. I’m extremely satisfied so far and glad to see that the reviews are justified.

As an acupuncturist, I see and treat a wide variety of pain complaints and injuries. ever since I’ve connected with Ben and his crew at Juanita PT, not only have my patients seen more long lasting improvements, but I have been feeling better as well.
I am a firm believer in true holistic care — not only treating a patient’s whole system in my treatment room, but making sure the patient is getting care from ALL different avenues of care. And the practitioners at Juanita PT embody holistic health care. They don’t look at (in my case) the foot and ankle that are hurting. They take the time to see where the foot/​ankle malfunction comes from; be it tight back, uneven hips, or weak glutes (all of the above in my case)
They are amazing. Plain and simple.

So back in summertime I strained my right elbow at PopCap’s Family Fun Day when I defeated the arm-​wrestling robot they had. I waited for about 2.5 months before finally admitting that it wasn’t going to get better on it’s own. I looked on Unilocal and found a physical therapist with good reviews — I ended up going to Therapeutic Associates — Juanita Physical Therapy and met Ben Kingan there.
Ben is attentive and takes the time to listen and then carefully explain each action that he takes. Within a mere 4 sessions my elbow pain reduced by about 70%. I can now give bear hugs without it aching. I highly recommend seeking these guys out if you need PT.

Both PTs have been trained at the Doctoral level and employ a holistic approach to enabling their patients to recover. The PT Director, Ben, has created a unique program for me (as he does for every patient — no copy and paste programs here) including stretching, exercises and ASTYM (an amazing system that resolves muscle adhesions). He also ensures the home program he recommends works within each patient’s lifestyle so is realistic, ultimately enabling people to succeed. The environment is very welcoming, friendly and positive with the actual office being very clean and warm (no sterile white walls) with new equipment. If you are looking for PTs that are smart, highly competent, friendly, you’ll actually look forward to working with and will create a unique program that will enable you to recover, look no further. Try it — you’ll see what I wrote is true and you’ll be writing your own rave review soon enough :)

Love everyone who works here! My son and I have been going for different reasons and I am very pleased with both of our progress. They are fantastic with kids– they have super fun attitudes and ideas. I’m feeling better after 3 years of neck pain. So happy we found them!

My son sustained a season-​ending sports injury during a high school soccer game. After considering several PT practices, we opted to go to Juanita Physical Therapy and we’re so glad we did.
Ruth, who was in charge of the administrative end of the practice, was welcoming and extremely flexible with scheduling. In addition, she was incredibly helpful when I had problems with my insurance provider. She made all the phone calls to get everything straightened out.
Ben Kingan was a wonderful therapist — patient, supportive and professional. He has a positive outlook and reads people well. Ben was happy to answer all of our questions (and we had a ton of them). He made the sometimes painful recovery process bearable, and also did a great job of keeping my son motivated. My son has returned to competitive play and hasn’t lost a step.
My son and I highly recommend Ben and his staff!

I had a nagging shoulder injury that I finally got checked out by an orthopedist, and was told to try physical therapy. So, I chose Juanita Physical Therapy, since it’s in my ‘hood. I really didn’t know what to expect when I walked in here, but I have to say that I am now a Believer in the Powers of Physical Therapy!
The clinic is not too big, but they make good use of the space. It’s clean, and the equipment all seems new. The staff is young and enthusiastic, but not daunting. I appreciate the time that Dr. Ben and Nika have spent with me. I feel they have listened to my concerns, never push me too far… like I said, I had no idea what to expect, but I’m so thrilled to be able to see so much improvement in such a short time.
Parking can be tight, because of the great coffee shops & restaurants in the Village, but there are 2 spots in the garage (entrance is off the street by Café Juanita & Juanita Pub) reserved for the clinic.

The staff here at Juanita Physical Therapy are comparable to none in the area. I personally have seen several others, as I have a leg injury I obtained many years ago. They have given be the strength and balance that I have long desired that is again allowing me to function again. Being without their knowledge for so long, I am amazed at the results I have obtained.

Ben has got me back on the court! I had retired from basketball because of many years of heal pain that had become unbearable. I wanted to make one more come back and was referred to Ben by my Knee Foot and Ankle doctor at Evergreen.
About 2 months of Ben and his instructions, and some new shoes that he helped me pick out, i am playing basketball, running almost every day, and the heal pain is gone. Nice work Ben and thank you very much.

Ben has and continues to help me make great strides in healing my neck and low back issues. In just 2 weeks I’ve had significant improvement and alleviated the headaches that plagued me. Ruth in the front office is also wonderful, has always been so friendly and helpful. I recommend Juanita physical therapy in addition to your Chiro care, combining the two healing practices has helped me make great strides.

When I was referred to go to a physical therapist, I was not very excited about it. After putting it off I went in to make an appointment and introduce myself. I was amazed by how friendly and welcoming Ruth and Ben were. Most of my fears and anxieties were gone before I even had my first appointment. I have been going once a week and always look forward to adding new exercises to my routine and continue building strength in my shoulder. I never feel embarrassed or fearful to express any concerns I may have. I would recommend to anyone, at any wellness level, to come in and start feeling better!

I found this place my accident when doing errands in my neighborhood. I’m so glad I did. Ruth got me in to see Ben the next day, and I’ve been going there twice a week for two months now. Ben is very patient, easygoing and fun. He’s taken the time to understand my limitations due to MS yet push me to do more than I think I can do. If I can’t do an exercise, he comes up with alternatives. I’ve seen many PTs in the past few years but this is one that is really helps me stick to my workouts.
