Alpine Mechanics PT and Performance

Theresa at Alpine Mechanics was just simply so awesome. I broke my ankle in mid-December in a climbing accident, & as a working mountain guide, I need my body to work. I asked Theresa to build an aggressive plan for the fastest & most full recovery, & she delivered on all fronts. After 4 weeks of PT from a broken ankle, thanks mostly to Theresa’s expertise & excellence in her craft, I was back to guiding & running snow safety heliski guiding in AK a mere 3 weeks after putting weight back on my foot. By the time I showed up to AK, I had nearly no more ankle pain or tenderness, & Theresa’s expertise allowed me to get back on the horse as quickly as possible. If you’re a mountain athlete looking for a PT that understands the needs of mountain athletes, she’s the best one I know of in wester

I’ve been seeing physical therapists off and on in the Seattle area for the last 30 years for running-related injuries. Theresa is hands-down the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with. As a competitive mountain and ultra runner I’ve seen Theresa for various injuries and niggles. Her ability and detailed approach to diagnosing and testing for strength imbalances is phenomenal. And the exercises she prescribes always has me feeling better within days. I would highly recommend that any athlete struggling with niggles or injuries see Theresa. She is the best!

won a strength training from my bid at the NWAC silent auction. 8 week conditioning with the in person evaluation and custom ski conditioning exercises that Theresa put together. I have to say that it really kicked my arse in the beginning, but became addictive after the first couple weeks and what a difference it made on the slope. the uphill climbs were more like how I would be at the end of the season and stronger legs on the descents were welcomed. Thank you Theresa and Alpine Mechanics, highly recommended.

I tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus skiing last year. I quickly realized after seeing other PTs that it’s worth it to pay out of pocket to see Theresa instead. My goal was to get back into the activities I love as quickly as possible and after seeing Theresa for the last year, I just ran a 25k with no knee pain and am back to skiing again. She focuses on testing rather than general timelines. My surgeon is thrilled with my progress and I really think it’s because of all the PT Theresa has coached me through!

I have had an amazing experience working with Theresa. She has helped me tremendously during my recovery from a running overuse shin injury, and I've been successfully increasing my running time and mileage pain free. I've always been historically bad at following PT regimens because they never quite felt like they fit my unique sports needs, but Theresa has helped me find a routine that is both beneficial and enjoyable because I've been able to see so much progress from it. I've gotten significantly stronger over our time working together and can feel my lower body stability improve over time. While I went to see her for a running injury, she has also helped me work on ski specific strength, and I've never felt better skiing uphill or downhill in my life. I couldn't believe my endurance o
