Voree currently splits his time between the 4 practices.

PAT MCBRIDE, DPT

Pat hails from Whatcom County, took his undergrad at Whatcom and Western Washington University, and graduated from St Augustine University with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy. For the past 18 years, Pat has worked in Mt Vernon where he employed a “movement is healing” type of approach. That is, if you learn how to move and control your body properly and with intention, your body will heal to its fullest potential. Rather than focusing on an MRI report that cites an injury, Pat’s focus is always oriented toward functional ability. You have a meniscus tear or arthritis and still want to run? You will benefit from this type of care. In 2022, Pat brought a career worth of experience and knowledge to Burlington Physical Therapy. We are proud to welcome him to the only locally owned therapy choice in Burlington. When he is not treating patients, he is busy practicing what he preaches, spending time with his family, channeling Wim Hof and running excessive distances quickly.

STACY ASARIAN, DPT

Stacy has been practicing physical therapy for 10 years (all in the Skagit valley).  She was born and raised in South Seattle and moved to the Skagit valley after she received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Puget Sound.  Prior to her career in Physical therapy, she was a professional snowboarder.  After a few to many trips to physical therapy for her injuries, she decided to pursue a career in Physical Therapy so she could help others return to their passions.  She is happily married and is the mother of two little boys.  On her days off, she spends her time outside with her family enjoying all the fun activities the valley has to offer.  From hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, snowmobiling, boating, and biking, she understands the importance of having an active and healthy lifestyle.  She enjoys working with people of all ages and loves providing a fun, educational, and positive road to recovery.

KATIE ADKINS, Patient Coordinator

Katie originally hails from Pennsylvania but now calls Washington home. Her background and studies are in dance and dance education. In May 2015, she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance from Temple University: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
