RISE Performance & Health

📣 🏆 We are so honored to share that RISE Performance & Health has been named a winner of the Seattle Times Best in the PNW People's Choice Award in Physical Therapy for the SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR!! 🥉

When we opened our doors in Westlake in 2022, we made a bet. That people were hungry for something different. That active adults in Seattle deserved a physical therapist who treats the whole person, not just the injury. That investing in your health fully and completely could create a ripple effect far beyond the clinic walls. You have proven that bet right, twice now.

This year felt different. We welcomed Roy Parsons to our team. We expanded into a second treatment room overlooking the water. We showed up in more gyms, at more events, in more corners of this community than ever before. And through all of it, you kept showing up for us. That consistency means everything. It tells us our roots here are growing deeper. 🌲

We are so thankful for YOU - this award belongs to every one of you who voted, who referred a friend, who trusted us with something as personal as your pain and your potential. We are just getting started.

With deep gratitude,
Dr. Stephanie Irwin, Dr. Roy Parsons, and Tifa Weaver



Pregnant and postpartum moms weren’t built to sit on the sidelines. 🤾🏻‍♀️

They don’t need to take it easy. They need to train smarter and harder than we’ve probably been told.
Pelvic floor strengthening is more than Kegels, it’s built through real strength training and lifting, not passive little squeezes.
Heavy lifting is linked to improved health outcomes for baby AND mom. The “walk and rest” advice is FAR outdated. 🏋🏽‍♀️
A guided return-to-run postpartum doesn’t just get you back on pace, and feeling better in your body, it’s also strongly linked to a lower risk of postpartum depression.✨
Movement is truly medicine here. The stronger you train through pregnancy and postpartum, the stronger you come back both physically and mentally. How cool is that!

You don’t have to shrink during one of the most powerful seasons of your life. You get to RISE through it. And we’re here for it.

Time to hop in the ring! 🥊 RowdyBox's Fight Club is bringing RISE Performance & Health | Physical Therapy Seattle physical therapists Dr. Stephanie Irwin and Dr. Roy Parsons in for a Shoulder Injury Prevention Workshop, part of the weekly training lineup for RowdyBox exclusive Fight members.

THIS! 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 “… made me not only a stronger runner but a stronger human. Your goals are their goals…You will not regret the knowledge and confidence you gain by working with their PTs”

This makes us smile ear to ear, because this is what we strive for with everyone who walks in our doors.

That’s the difference our holistic, detailed, and hands on approach makes.

Standard clinics often default to one body part, generic protocols, treating the symptom in front of them. RISE starts with root cause diagnosis and whole body treatment, with individualized programs that get updated every visit and health coaching built in alongside.

That’s how you go from not just getting back to a baseline, but actually getting stronger than before. We are here to help you transform your health and what your body is capable of. 💪

Curious what a holistic plan could look like for you? Let’s connect!

We hit record. Then we get to work.

Every Running Analysis starts here: filming your gait from every angle so we can see exactly what your body’s doing at speed. Foot strike, cadence, asymmetries, the compensations you can’t feel but your body’s been making for years. We get to see it all.

From there we find the actual root cause while also layering in all contributing factors of muscle weakness, mobility, recovery, nutrition, sleep, and stress. We build you a plan that doesn’t just get you back to running, it builds the resilience and health habits to keep you there.

Link in bio to book your Discovery Call and learn more about how we work with runners on a total body performance level.



Your stride tells us even more.
Cadence, push off, how your body absorbs impact with repeated strikes. We’re not just watching you run. We’re watching how you run step after step, and comparing it against what the actual strength and form needed to perform at your best.

That gap between the two? That’s where your program starts. Often it comes down to specific weaknesses and missing links in your strength training.

Link in bio to book your Running Analysis.



The Devil’s in the details!
We look at the close ups and the big picture because we don’t want to miss a thing.

No question or part of your health is off the table. From running shoes, to foot care, to how to fuel on your first ultra, to how to run your first 5K without injury. We are here for it all!

Video analysis only tells us part of the story.

In addition to watching you move, we get hands-on. Testing range of motion, strength, and knowing what things feel like in your body. This is where we find the root cause, the thing your gait analysis pointed to but couldn’t fully explain on its own.
It’s also just... how we work. One-on-one, every session, no guessing, real change every visit. Detailed assessment with a fine-toothed comb doesn’t just happen during your evaluation, but every time you come in!
