Pain Shouldn't Keep You on the Sidelines

Chronic Inflammation & Instability
That nagging knee pain from an old injury can turn into long-term inflammation, weakness, and instability—making everyday movements feel uncertain.
Limited Daily Movement
You're sitting on the sidelines during weekend games, skipping hikes, or avoiding the gym because your knee just won't cooperate.Fear of Long-Term Damage
When your knee hurts, your hips, back, and ankles start taking on extra load—leading to new pain and compounding problems.

"Chris is amazing! I had knee and lower back pain for nearly a year before I decided to schedule time with Chris. He was able to take away the pain as well as strengthen both in only 10 sessions. Can't recommend him enough for anyone who's been thinking about trying PT."

Dr. Chris Lee specializes in osteopractic physical therapy with advanced training in vestibular rehabilitation, spinal manipulation, and dry needling. After graduating from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 2017, he's spent over 7 years helping active adults and athletes in the Seattle-Bellevue area overcome pain and return to peak performance. Chris understands the frustration of chronic pain firsthand—a car accident in 2009 left him unable to play badminton competitively for two years until physical therapy helped him return to the court. That experience inspired him to become the specialist he wished he'd had: someone who doesn't just eliminate pain, but gets you fully ready to compete and perform at your best.
