[ THE STORY ]
Switchback Physical Therapy began as an idea in mid-2020, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Working as a clinic director for a large-scale, nationwide physical therapy provider in Bellevue, founder Chris Gering felt the need to create a way to provide more personalized and attentive care for his patients while avoiding the productivity and volume-based expectations of the corporate setting.
The inspiration behind Switchback PT is two-fold: combining a passion for returning people back to the outdoors, and that of the outdoors itself. After gravitating to the Pacific Northwest from Arizona, I quickly realized how special the landscape is here. Unfortunately, it is difficult to ignore the negative effects of human presence.
By providing mobile-based visits and eliminating costly overhead, we are able to tailor your physical therapy experience to your environment and schedule - enabling a greater chance for successful therapy.
Through volunteer efforts, donations, and collaboration with specific local non-profits, we are not only able to treat patients, but also support the maintenance and development of our innumerable hiking trails and contribute to sustainable and responsible outdoor recreation.
