“I highly recommend Rick Green!! I came in with a sore low back and neck pain from sitting too much for work. He had been recommended to me by several people and I finally made the commitment. From our first session I knew I had made the right decision, He is extremely knowledgeable,  intuitive and is a true healer. He really cares about your health and well being. I never feel rushed because he takes his time to really listen to my concerns. He is different from any other PT I have been to and well worth the commitment to your health and self care routine. I have a stronger core and I am able to go hiking and go to the gym without the aftermath of doing too much. Rick has really taught me to listen to my body and to gauge what is best while exercising for the continued strengthening of my core. I will never forget one of his first questions he asked me that really resonated with me. When was the last time you felt optimal in regards to my physical health? That was a reality check question that was worth discovering while working with Rick.”

“We are very fortunate to have Richard in Snoqualmie Valley. I just completed a program with him. I've had some need for physical therapy over the years throughout the places I have lived in this country and Europe. Richard is the best I've ever seen. He is most knowledgeable and thoroughly uses his vast knowledge in treating you. Most important I think, he not only demonstrates what he teaches you to correct your problem but goes on to teach you how to prevent physical problems and maintain a healthy body.”

“Rick is an outstanding therapist.  I strained my back and Rick helped me with exercises, massage and relaxation techniques that strengthened my core and back muscles.  He spent 90 minutes with me during each session.  After the second session my back was 90% better and now I'm back to 100%.  I have no hesitation in recommending Rick to my friends and clients.”

“Dr. Green is outstanding. I give him my highest recommendation. I sought care from him due to an accident resulting in a concussion and whiplash, with  significant pain, dysfunction and other symptoms. My care has been incredible. Dr. Green is a highly skilled, astute, caring, perceptive, integrative and professional physical therapist with an exceptional knowledge base.  He has amazing hands. I was referred to him by another local clinician with her highest recommendation. I now know why. Don't wait-schedule an appointment with this incredible practitioner. The truly best Physical Therapist I've encountered by far.”

“Rick has provided me excellent care and guidance as I have been recovering from my bicep injury.  He guides me through each exercise and explains techniques to any level of detail that I wish.  He has provided a total regime of exercises and stretching to help the supporting areas around the injury.  I have found that I am able to do a number of activities more easily than before my injury and attribute this to the approach Rick has used in helping me recovery.”

“You won't find someone who cares about your health and well-being the way Rick does. I was visiting from out of town, and happened to stop by Rick's office after an old injury flared up from a hike. He met me with care, compassion, and eager to work on my IT band, with an exuberant spirit of service. I've been suffering with knee and IT band issues for several years now, and it flared up after a hike in Snoqualmie. Within minutes, he was able to identify and explain to me the mechanics of my body that were resulting in the pain. I've seen a variety of doctors over the last few years, and none were able to identify the issue! If you've been in pain, look no further -- Rick is committed to your intentional healing. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely intuitive. He worked on my leg and showed me a variety of exercises I can do to truly rectify the issue, not just mask the pain. I wish I lived nearby just so I can continue to get care from Rick. If you live in Snoqualmie Valley or surrounding areas, you're truly lucky to have him.”

Robin S

“He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and intuitive.  The body work he does is amazing and incredibly healing.  Rick has a wonderful sense and knowledge of the mind-body connection and has been able to pinpoint the root cause of my issues unlike any other PT I've worked with.  He is so passionate about what he does and shows such great care and concern for his patients.  Look no further than Rick - you will not be disappointed...in fact, I believe you will be so blessed by him.”

“If you have Planter Fasciitis this is the place to go, I had no idea that it could be reversed with Physical Therapy. I tried the heal injections, they did not work, also tried massage it only helped at the moment. After the first month I was feeling relief and now 2 months in and I basically have no pain. What thrills me about this.....after this as long as I follow they're directions I will never experience the pain of Planter Fasciitis again.”

Ellen D

“I came to Rick just after neck surgery and with a lot of nerve pain. I was unable to move my arm and hand much at all and was frankly, terrified. Rick showed immense compassion and understanding of my situation all while putting his immense knowledge to work. I was feeling so much better within weeks. I am eternally grateful to him for getting me through this rough patch. I highly recommend!”

Debi L

“I started seeing Rick Green because of pelvic floor pain and related issues after my hysterectomy. After seeing Rick for a while, the pain is essentially gone. I have a strong core and pelvic floor now, from the exercises he has me do.  There is amazing mental/emotional freedom with having a strong body I can trust. Once in a while, the pain comes back in times of stress or illness. Rick also does a good bit of mind-body work, so that I have tools to deal with the pain if it comes back, so that it is short-lived. He has a gentle demeanor and is easy to talk to, especially about the things you have to talk about when your pelvic floor is involved. I highly recommend him.”

I had very good experience with him. Richard is professional and also very nice. With his help, my ruptured Achilles' tendon is much better now. I was able to run marathons and ultra marathons again after a few months!

Rick Green is fantastic. I’ve gone to him for, I believe, 3 different injuries now. Each time I leave his office, I feel so much better. Not only does he heal your body, but he talks to you about healing your mind, as well. His vast knowledge of the body, mind, and how they work together to heal you makes him the most qualified PT in the area. I HIGHLY recommend paying him a visit the next time you find yourself in need of some physical therapy.

Alicia M

Rick is like no other PT I’ve ever gone to.  He is extremely knowledgeable, he listens, is patient and wants to help find the root of the problem, not just treat what is ailing you at the moment. I can honestly say he has been one of my biggest supporters, encouraging me to live healthy and listen to my body.  It is very apparent that he truly cares, and you just don’t find the kind of care anymore.

Denise M

“I have never experienced physical therapy like what Rick Green provides. He cares about not only the muscles, bones etc, but what your brain and body is thinking and doing as well. I promise you it will be a new expectation with therapy after needing recovery.  I had clenching of my jaw...Unbelievable what can happen when you let this go on for years. I am excited there is treatment and after 3 sessions I am already feeling so much better. I would recommend him for all your needs.”

Ashley B

“I started to see Rick Green as recommended by my ND. I never realized how much help I needed to get my body back in alignment. In my line of work I am always hunched over performing short repetitive movements with my hands and arms, so gradually over time I was experiencing numbness in my hands and limited mobility in my shoulders, back and chest. After every session with Rick I feel my body gaining strength, I feel my posture resisting my old habits and I feel my circulation and lymphatic systems flowing as they should. Rick is very experienced, patient, knowledgeable, purposeful and passionate about the care he gives. I can't thank him enough for showing me how to care and strengthen myself so that I can care for others. I now tell everyone that says they have a pain to go get some PT with Rick.”

Sheng N

Rick is very knowledgeable, very hands on, he was there for me from the beginning to the end of my sessions and I had his full attention all those times. I admire his knowledge, patience, kindness and passion for what he does especially in helping the patients get the “quality of life” back. He is very comfortable to be with and has a good sense of humor. One more thing that I love about Rick is his pain-relieving and relaxing massages. He sure knows what he is doing working on my very tight muscles. I’ve learned a lot from Rick, proper postures and movements while I am working and how to relax my muscles and gave me pieces of advice. He also emailed me some exercises which I can do at home. My shoulder pain is gone and now I can work on my garden and function properly and normally at work again, THANK YOU RICK!

Rick Green is by far the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. Being in sports all my life I have had injuries over the years and worked with lots of other therapists but never had this kind of personalized care. He truly cares about your rehabilitation and is very effective in getting you back to your old self with program suited to your needs. I would highly recommend Rick. Give him a try and you’ll know what I am talking about.

Wendy E

I’ve not been to PT before so was a little apprehensive about what to expect.  I‘ve heard stories from others.  Richard was very nice and comfortable to be with.  He is hands on, very attentive, explains the what’s and why’s, etc.   If I hurt myself again or feel the need for some additional coaching, I will definitely go back.

I had the great good fortune to encounter Dr. Rick when I was working and living in China.

I had pneumonia, my lungs collapsed, and I was intubated. I also had a serious bacterial infection, my kidneys shut down and I was on dialysis every other day. On top of that I had a sterile vegetation growth on my mitral valve. I was hospitalised and in a coma for 21 days. Upon awakening I had open heart surgery to replace my mitral valve. Total time in hospital 3 months.

3 months of inactivity and lying flat on my back along with all the previously mentioned episodes had led me to have complete and utter muscle wastage. I couldn’t even hold a spoon to feed myself. I could not sit up, let alone stand and had few motor functions. Whilst the hospital in China had done a superb job keeping me alive, they had little or no rehab facilities to speak of and I was about to be discharged from hospital with no forward planning as to how I should recover my normal functions.

Enter the fabulous Dr. Rick. He clearly has great experience and in my case, great patience. Dr. Rick treats the whole mind and body, he watched and studied what I was able and not able to do constantly, he also talked to me about me, to get a good overview of my character and to evaluate how far and how long I could be pushed. Dr. Rick, through his study, was even able to diagnose that I was being over prescribed with my medications. Dr. Rick is patient, he is thorough, he is amiable, he is professional, he is everything that you could possibly want in a superb physio therapist. He pushed me and supported me (literally), as I first began to stand, shuffle penguin like and eventually walk and regain full motor control. He set an exercise and diet regime for me that allowed me to build and maintain my strength and weight.

When I tackled stairs again for the first time in Dr. Rick’s practice. I climbed one at a time. Puzzled, he said to me “Is that how your normally go up stairs “ embarrassed I told him of course not and began to climb the stairs as I would normally…………..he knew what to do and say to encourage me, always. Within a month of meeting Dr. Rick and my first session with him, I was back at work. The guy is ‘simply the best’ and I have nothing but praise for him and his whole mind and body methods. I can never thank Dr. Rick enough for helping me recover so quickly after apparently having little prospect of doing so without him. If ever you need a physio to help you. This is definitely the man.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to you with my deepest respect and thanks.

I’ve had PT 2 other times at other clinics and Rick is by far the most attentive to what is going on with my spine. I feel like I am not just plugged into a routine without my own individual problems considered much. Highly recommend.

I started seeing Dr. Green for chronic migraines and neck pain which are triggered by stress. With his help I have learned how to manage my symptoms with a number of stretching exercises. He has also given me tips to help me relax during those stressful times so that I do not trigger those muscles that cause my symptoms. I would highly recommend Dr. Green’s practice without hesitation.
