Learn more about Burlington Physical Therapy
Welcome to Burlington Physical Therapy, your only locally owned PT option in Burlington. We are here to guide you through the odd and inconsistent medical world. Our process always starts with gathering information from both you and your doctor, helping you learn how your body heals which will help you make informed decisions, and ultimately help you achieve your goals.
We opened in 2005 with the purpose of helping people recover from injuries. We always attempt to help you avoid surgery where possible. If surgery is inevitable we will help prepare you for surgery so your outcome will be the best possible. At Burlington Physical therapy, our goal is to always help you create the best possible version of you. For example, if you don’t want to surgically reconstruct your back, we can help you learn to function at the highest possible level by regaining range of motion, utilizing core strengthening and movement pattern education to minimize your injury’s affect on your daily life. If you probably need surgery but don’t have time, money, or just want to avoid it, stop by and we’ll help you learn what you need to do to have a fighting chance. We are experienced and well trained in treating a wide variety of injuries and processes. These include but are not limited to sprains, strains, fracture recovery, impaired flexibility, whiplash, lifting injuries and most of the curve balls thrown at you by life. These can be work related and covered under L&I, or play related and covered under a wide variety of insurances. We even have a reduced fee cash pay option. We are here to help you understand your injury and convey that knowledge in a consumer friendly way. Physical Therapy is not a passive profession, it requires participation by all parties. Please don’t attend with the expectation of falling asleep during the session. Afterwards is fine though!
You want to get back to finishing an Ironman and your doctor says no way? Even if you know it’s probably a bad idea, we’ll still help you work through it and learn how to diminish the likelihood of injury. You’re going to do what you’re going to do and nobody said an ultra-endurance event was a good idea, except those who participate, and those who marvel at their participation. Having participated in multi-day cycling related competition, I understand working through injuries and adversity to achieve your goals. You might even be a good candidate for a full bicycle fitting. What’s that? Click here.

What Our Clients Say
I have known Voree Smith since he was fresh out of PT school. I have watched his career path and was exceptionally impressed when he opened his own practice. He is an great Physical Therapist and also a super athlete. I have been on long organized rides with him where I trained all summer and he cracked his knuckles, stretched a bit, and said he was ready (and he was). I have depended on him to address my physical issues, as I prepare for events, and make sure my bike fits me well. Voree is excellent on both fronts. Skagit county is lucky to have such a talented professional that is highly skilled. I got a new bike last week that was supposed to be ready out of the shipping box. It was far from ready as promised. Voree met me at his clinic, assembled my bike which included completely tuning the electronic shifters, changing the handle bar stem to shorten my cockpit, completely fit the bike to me, all along giving me lessons on how to fine tune elements myself. I am grateful for his expertise and consideration of getting my bike fit, especially on his day off. Thank you Voree.
Thank You Burlington Physical Therapy ~ I started therapy here after a motorcycle injury and found the staff to be helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in my rehabilitation. They provide a safe environment and are full of encouragement to help you learn the exercises and progress through them on your road to recovery. Thank you for Voree & Paul for everything!
I had my first encounter with Burlington PT 10+ years ago with a knee injury and I was impressed with their professionalism and welcoming environment. I recently had a shoulder injury and I knew Burlington PT was where I wanted to start my rehab based on my prior experience. I was not disappointed! Friendly, knowledgeable and they all genuinely care about you. Thank you for making my rehab experience enjoyable! I would highly recommend Burlington PT for your injury/surgery rehab needs. Thank You Voree, Paul & Tessa for helping me get back to full strength.
