Spokane Valley Physical Therapy

Most clinics treat the symptoms. We find the systems behind them.

Areas of Focus

6 Primary Treatment Categories — each built around different systems of the body, practiced by therapists with decades of experience.

Every patient deserves a specific treatment designed for their needs. A post-surgical knee, a frozen shoulder, a low back that flares with the weather — most people will benefit from standard physical and occupational therapy.

Manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, gait and balance retraining, post-op rehab, and return-to-sport progressions are all part of the day-to-day care delivered by therapists with a decade or more of experience.

The specialty work — visceral, cranial, neural, StemWave, FSM, counterstrain — exists for the cases where conventional rehab doesn’t close the gap.

For most patients, the path is the conventional one: assessment, treatment plan, measurable progress, discharge.

Synergy also accepts workers’ compensation referrals — Washington L&I claims, self-insured employer cases, and commercial carriers. That includes the documentation, work conditioning, and return-to-work coordination required by those files. If a provider has recommended PT or OT under a workers’ comp claim, we can take it from the referral forward

Craniosacral Therapy, Neural Manipulation

Craniosacral / Osteopathic

Gentle, hands-on work that releases tension in the soft tissues surrounding the brain and spine. Used for concussions, migraines, TMJ, chronic neck and back pain, PTSD, and vestibular issues. Pressure is so light that most patients describe it as deeply restful rather than therapeutic — yet the results are significant.

STRAIN COUNTERSTRAIN, MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Fascial / Connective Tissue

Targets the web of connective tissue that runs through every structure in the body. Rather than forcing muscles into new positions, these techniques let your tissues release on their own timeline — signaling the brain to stop producing pain. Most patients report relief after just 1 or 2 sessions.

VISCERAL MANIPULATION

Visceral / Organ-Based

Careful palpation of the abdomen to release restrictions around your organs — the same restrictions that can cause digestive disorders, reproductive health issues, chronic pain, poor sleep, and even depression. If you've been told nothing can be done, this is often where the answer was hiding.

PILATES, TMR, MOVEMENT

Movement Re-Education

Most pain has a movement pattern behind it — a compensating habit your body developed after injury, surgery, or years of repetition. These therapies identify those patterns and replace them. Whether you're recovering, managing a condition, or stuck at a plateau, Synergy is where lasting change happens.

GMI, FSM, MYOKINESTHETIC THERAPY

Neurological / Pain Science

For pain that has outlasted the injury — or never had a clear cause to begin with. These approaches work at the level of the nervous system, retraining the brain's pain response, rebalancing nerve root signaling, and using targeted microcurrent to accelerate tissue healing from the inside out.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY, STEMWAVE

Shockwave Therapy

Focused acoustic waves delivered through the StemWave applicator stimulate the body's repair response in chronic tendon & soft-tissue injuries that haven't moved with standard care. Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and calcific shoulder have real evidence behind this approach.

Patient Experiences that Inspire

Based on 143 reviews

"Some months ago, my eyes started shaking uncontrollably - causing headaches and making me nauseous. I ended up at Synergy, where I saw Mary for vestibular therapy. Under her care, I’ve gone from bed-bound to working on my health goals independently. I’m so glad for the team at Synergy. Mary’s the best physical therapist I’ve seen. I can’t thank her enough for helping me get more stable vision than any surgery could."

"I was referred to get PT for knee pain I was experiencing occasionally.I have not had any knee pain since discovering that the cause was ACTUALLY lack of core strength coupled with hyper mobility in my joints causing over-extension regularly. Learning to hold my body in a healthier way as well as having exercises to strengthen has changed my life! I am grateful that Synergy didn't just apply blanket work on my knee but worked to find out what the cause actually was."

"I came here at Synergy after a long time contemplating hip replacement surgery. I was in pain and I was embarrassed walking with a limp. Synergy has made me believe in physical therapy as a valuable form of healing. I can walk, run, dance, get in and out of my car, put on my pants, and everything else without a problem. Thank you, Synergy!"

"I could barely walk when I first started PT, I could not walk upstairs and my roommate had to carry me up the stairs sometimes. I also started having wrist and hand pain and my PT, Cheryl, helped with that. With the help of my physical therapist I can now walk, jump, go up and down stairs with no knee pain. I can also do my work as a hairdresser with no to very little wrist and hand pain. I tell everybody about Synergy Healthcare. I feel like you actually care and do not focus on just one thing, but address each issue that I had."

"My main concerns were lack of flexibility in my hips and knees and much pain as I did my yoga poses. We have also concentrated on improving the strength of my back. I have had incredible results in increasing flexibility in my hips and am more fluid there than I was through my entire year of yoga instruction training 4 years ago. My hip and knee pain has lessened. I have corrected a number of bad habits. Mary has provided gentle, astute mentorship as I progressed. I am incredibly grateful for my time with Mary."

"I had an ice skating accident where I crushed my thoracic #8 vertebrae. My mobility was extremely limited and I spent most of my time lying down in pain for 2 1/2 months. Through the expertise of both Brad and Arch over the span of 10 weeks I slowly was able to increase my range of motion and can now move without pain or limitations. Brad and Arch, who were both extremely professional and knowledgeable, brought back my quality of life and set me back on a course to full recovery. I would recommend Synergy to anyone recovering from an injury."
