Welcome to

We are your local PT clinic; outdoor enthusiasts; here for you

Our goal is to meet or exceed your previous level of activity.  If you were inactive before your injury, let’s move past that and find the ideal level of activity for you. Some people need to run a marathon and some need to sprint for the last TV on Black Friday. Find your purpose and we’ll help you achieve it.

Everyone needs to learn to set aside time for themselves and everyone lives in the same 24/7. What changes are you willing to make to keep you from compromising your purpose? It is impossible to help others when you can no longer help yourself. Caring for family members or doing your job can create fatigue, closely followed by burn out, both physically and mentally. We can help you learn to focus on yourself so that in the future you can focus on others.

Orthopedic/Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Whether you are suffering from a sprain, strain or other injury,  our therapists will discuss with you the nature of the problem,  examine symptomatic tissues, search for faulty biomechanics, pinpoint strength deficits, assess neuromuscular control, and identify movements or postures that increase or decrease the pain.

Spinal Stabilization Training

The mechanics of the spine and the potential causes of back pain are often misunderstood. We take the time to explain your condition and educate you about how your back works. You will also learn to incorporate proper body mechanics and postural awareness during your work/home activities. Once back pain sets in, the muscles used to stabilize the segments of the spine become inhibited or hyperactive. By following a specific stabilization program, you can learn how to effectively activate these muscles and strengthen/balance the muscles stabilizing the segments of your spine. This will assist greatly in eliminating back pain.

Surgical and Fracture Rehabilitation

Surgical intervention may be required for complex injuries. To ensure a successful outcome, progressive rehabilitation is often necessary to promote tissue healing and achieve functional goals.

Sport Specific Exercise Prescription

Whether you are a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, injury prevention is paramount. I share your passion for sports and recreational activities. With an extensive knowledge of biomechanics, functional anatomy and exercise physiology, we are an excellent resource for designing a strength and conditioning program tailored to meet the demands of your sport. These specific programs include practical tips for warm-up/cool-down, stretching, exercise progression and peak performance enhancement.

Musculoskeletal Imaging

Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography (MSKUS) is an assessment tool that helps the therapist assess the nature and extent of your musculoskeletal injuries by being able to look into the body and evaluate the damage to muscles, bones or joints. We are now able to observe your muscles, nerves, joints, and bones move while testing them, all while watching a real time image of them. Physical therapists are qualified to utilize this diagnostic device if appropriately trained.

Balance Training

Have you ever had a loss of balance, dizziness, vertigo, spinning, or feeling like you were falling? These can occur when there is some type of dysfunction in one of the many feedback systems in your body (the brain, the nervous system, the eyes, or the inner ear), that manifests itself as a balance disorder.

What do our clients have to 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.

Big thanks to Dr. Ali and the entire staff for being super friendly and really helping me out with my hurt back

I’ve (unfortunately) had experience with several PT groups in Anacortes and Anacortes Physical Therapy is by far the best. With others like the one in the hospital, you get a different tech each time and they go through their standard exercises for your injury. At APT, in addition to the small team of techs, I get personal attention from the owner each visit and a plan that evolves based on progress and changing conditions. I can’t recommend them more highly.

A. Learmonth

I can’t say enough good about Greg Fritz and his wonderful team at Anacortes Physical Therapy. Not only did the P.Ts and Technicians administered very successful rehab programs following two fairly involved shoulder surgeries, they made the session time productive and always enjoyable. Greg’s extensive ultrasound skill set is an absolute asset in monitoring rehab progress. The facility is spotless with very well maintained equipment. Thanks Friends. You guys are the best!

P. Kinkel

Nothing but positive experiences at APT ! Kudos to Voree and his team. Not only did they help me heal , but they strengthened muscles to help prevent the injury happening again. I learned new ways of moving and stretching AND always left my session feeling upbeat !

W. Kendrick

I love coming here for PT! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, you can truly see they love what they do!

C. Eschevarria

I had a positive experience at Anacortes Physical Therapy. Voree Smith, as my intake PT, listens well and created goals that met my individual needs. I learned how to strengthen my weak areas and how to walk & run with a gait and pacing that was healthier for my body & joints. I like the team approach which added a wider perspective to my care plan. If you are committed to doing your homework and making some healthy lifestyle changes/healing, Anacortes Physical Therapy is a great choice!
