A doctor I had seen for significant pain in both of my knees referred me to physical therapy, and I decided on Renew b/c of its proximity to my home. Fortunately, Renew not only had a convenient location, but Erik (the owner and the therapist I worked with) got me back to almost 100%. He pinpointed my problem areas and gave me a number of exercises to help strengthen those areas. Many of the exercises didnt require extra equipment, so I had no problems doing them at home, which was great. Erik was attentive during the appointments and explained my problem areas in an understandable way. Prior to going to PT, I was honestly skeptical about how much it would help me because my knee pains were pretty severe whenever I ran or hiked. I was convinced I had something really serious going on, and that my issues couldnt be fixed by PT. Erik put me on a Return to Run program, and now, more than halfway through the program, Ive been able to run without pain (my knee used to hurt after running just a mile). Hiking downhill has been a bit more of a struggle (recently went on a 6.8 mile hike, and I started feeling the sharp pains on the downhills, but they occurred less often than they did pre-PT). Im hoping that in time, the pain goes away permanently! Highly recommend Renew and Erik! I did not work with any other therapists, so Im unable to comment on them.

Renew Physical Therapy was a key part of my recovery from ACL reconstruction. Tim Newton did an excellent job with me in giving me options to both ramp up and rest as I made my climb up out of a long injury recovery. Tims sports background as both a trainer and player provided a trust and reassurance that he could understand my mentality of not only wanting to recover from the surgery itself but also looking out with me towards the ultimate goal of returning to the field and resuming my pre-injury level of play. Tims philosophy of restoring and optimizing movement patterns has helped restore my equilibrium after finding myself relying heavily on one side of my body during recovery. His application of balancing techniques has helped me with low back issues and I have updated my daily stretching routine by inserting those exercises into my process. I am also grateful to Laura at the front desk for helping me navigate my insurance claims and for assisting me as my new FSA account came into play.

Renew Physical Therapy ranks five out of five stars in every way that matters to me. My pain doctor is very particular about where his patients should go for PT. When my doctor recommended Erik Norwood at Renew Physical Therapy in Columbia City I was delighted since the location is near my home. More importantly, as a result of the PT I’ve been getting my migraine headaches and back issues are being resolved. In my estimation Erik goes above and beyond where it matters most. For example, Erik went out to my car with me to adjust my seat so my back would be properly aligned for a long drive to Yakima. That simple change made a huge difference for the trip and has had lasting results in reducing pain and numbness. Not only is the PT great, the space is clean, spacious and filled with natural light; and Linesa, who schedules appointments is great too. From the moment I walk through the door until I leave I receive excellent care and personal attention.

The therapists and staff at Renew Physical Therapy are top-notch for competence, skill, friendliness, and professionalism, and I highly recommend their services. I was seriously injured in a vehicle accident and had multiple surgeries that left me with limited range of motion, weakness, pain and lots of scarring. Megan and Erik used a variety of techniques to help me heal, regain strength, motion, and break down my scars in ways that my previous physical therapist didnt. Both Erik and Megan were very creative at trying different techniques and stretches to help me find and work my weaknesses and get me back to a normal, active life, and Megan is very skilled at manual therapy on scar tissue, which gained me tremendous range of motion. On top of that, they are good at explaining the theory behind the therapy, and are friendly, likable people. If thats not enough, their office has a quiet, friendly atmosphere unlike many larger PT clinics.

I received excellent care from Erik Norwood, Renew Physical Therapy. I came to Erik with some very long-standing low back and joint pain that was really interfering with my daily life. Not only did Erik help reduce my pain over time, but he also helped me to gain insight into the bigger picture of what is causing my issues. I was impressed with how he tackled this stubborn problem from every possible angle. The previous physical therapist I saw was never this comprehensive. Erik is very knowledgeable; he kept looking at my problem with fresh eyes and could continue to suggest new tools and strategies. Hes also just a really encouraging, positive person, which is exactly what you need when dealing with chronic pain. I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs expert help in this area.

Im thrilled with Renew and with my physical therapist, Chelsea Anjeski! For years I had been experiencing weird and frustrating foot pain. I had seen my primary care physician, a podiatrist and another physical therapist at Swedish, and none of them were able to tell me what was causing my pain, nor how I should move forward. Chelsea was able to diagnose my problem almost immediately, and for the first time I started getting actual help. She also suggested I work with another specialty physician, which I did, and now I feel SO relieved that Im actually getting real HELP, and my pain wont continue to dominate my life. I am SO grateful. Chelsea is very knowledgeable, intuitive, capable, and I feel so LUCKY I found her. THANK YOU!!

Erik at Renew did a really great job at providing me with the insight and treatment plan I needed to alleviate the strange symptoms I had been experiencing in my left hand (tingling and numbness). I was not sure what exactly was going on with me and couldnt articulate very well exactly what the problem was. Thankfully he was able to help me identify potential causes and worked with me to address them both on location and while at home. This is exactly the kind of assistance I was looking for! The front office staff members were also very friendly and easy to work with, which is always a plus.

If you need PT go to RENEW. I have used Renew for past shoulder and recent ACL reconstruction pt and have felt much better after the care I was given. Joseph Lirette is a true professional and guided me gracefully with encouragement through a very emotionally difficult rehab. The office staff made appointments easy to schedule and paperwork and payments were easy to grasp. Thanks to office staff Lydia, Lana and Laura. Also want to shout out to Eric Norwood for creating an amazing team and atmosphere for patients to begin healing and feeling healthy again. FEEL BETTER AND RENEW @ RENEW.

I had excellent support for my search to develop a core strength training program. I was provided 1 on 1 instruction and Q&A regarding my situation along with feedback on how well I was performing my exercises. This is unlike some other experiences with PT, where the trainer is working with 1 or two other people at the same time and you feel like youre in a cookie-cutter operation. The folks at Renew are very professional and now Im set. Also, the location in Columbia City worked great for me since I work in Renton and live on Beacon Hill!
