Chris is a recent transplant from Bay Area California, and has been doing massage professionally for the last 5 years. He is a specialist in Neuromuscular Therapy massage; basically, his focus is on rehabilitative, and recovery massage techniques. That means if you suffer from chronic pain, are post-surgery, acute injury, or just stressed out there is something he might be able to do for you. Most of his work can be described as “Hurts-so-good”, but don’t let that put you off, he is dedicated to finding the happy balance of therapeutic and relaxing massage for every patient.
When not working you can find Chris exploring this beautiful area with his fiancee, and learning about the wonders of the Pacific Northwest.
Hear what other RET Physical Therapy patients have to say.
I started PT after a car accident. The staff was extremely helpful not just with injuries from the accident, but also other issues that had been bothering me. They are very good at communicating problems and solutions and are friendly to boot. Can’t recommend enough.

I saw Anne at 7 weeks post ulnar nerve transposition. I’ve made more progress in 1 week with her than I did in those first 7. She is extremely knowledgeable and up to date on current research. I’d feel very good about sending my family and friends her way!

Kelly is amazing! I felt very comfortable and she asked all of the right questions, was super friendly, and knows exactly how to help. I always leave feeling so much better, and confident that if I do my exercises, I will heal!

Michelle has been amazing to work with. She quickly diagnosed the root cause of the issues that continued to plague me after recovering from hip replacement surgery that other PT’s (different companies) could not. She listens, is creative, resourceful, and very knowledgeable. Everyone at the clinic is always very professional and interested in our progress.

I have been going to Summit Therapy for a shoulder problem. I’ve made steady progress and have gotten much pain relief. The staff is very friendly and great to work with. I recently had a sudden problem of vertigo. My therapist knew exactly what to do and performed a treatment that stopped the dizziness.
