Seattle-area rehabilitation services range from sports injury appointments to coordinated neurological care. The five options below serve different needs, so start with the type of rehabilitation recommended and the location you can attend consistently. Kenmore and Issaquah are outside Seattle proper; their travel times matter when treatment involves repeated visits.
1. Harborview Medical Center — CORP
- Location
- First Hill, Seattle, Washington
- Care setting
- Hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation
- Focus
- Neurological injuries and coordinated therapy
Harborview’s Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Program brings physical, occupational, and speech therapy together with rehabilitation psychology and other services. It treats people with neurological conditions such as brain injury, stroke, and spinal cord injury, and also works with the amputee rehabilitation team.
Appointments are in the Ninth & Jefferson Building at 908 Jefferson Street, on the ninth floor. This is a coordinated outpatient service rather than an overnight admission. A referral from a medical provider is required for therapy in this clinic.
2. Swedish Outpatient Rehabilitation
- Location
- Seattle and Issaquah, Washington
- Care setting
- Outpatient physical and occupational therapy
- Focus
- Orthopedic, neurological and other rehabilitation
Swedish’s current rehabilitation network offers physical and occupational therapy for a range of needs, including neurological rehabilitation, fall prevention, cancer rehabilitation, and lymphedema treatment. Its service page directs patients to Cherry Hill or Issaquah for help finding the appropriate location.
The Issaquah clinic is at 751 NE Blakely Drive, Suite 4010. Services differ between sites, so the referral should identify the needed specialty rather than assuming every Swedish clinic has the same program.
3. Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy
- Location
- Seattle and surrounding metro communities
- Care setting
- Outpatient physical therapy
- Focus
- Sports, orthopedic and location-specific specialties
Therapeutic Associates has clinics across the Seattle region, with services including sports injury care, back and neck rehabilitation, and treatment before or after surgery. Its regional directory also lists pelvic health, vestibular, and neurological services available within the network.
Use the individual clinic page to match a therapist’s specialty and appointment location with your needs. A useful treatment plan connects hands-on care and supervised exercise with a home program, so progress continues between appointments. Specialty availability should be confirmed at the chosen clinic.
4. UW Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Center
- Location
- North Seattle, Washington
- Care setting
- Specialist outpatient MS care
- Focus
- MS assessment, symptom management and rehabilitation
UW Medicine’s MS Center is in the McMurray Medical Building at 1536 North 115th Street, Suite 130. Its team includes neurology, rehabilitation medicine, rehabilitation psychology, nursing, and other disciplines, with access to physical and occupational therapy through UW Medicine.
This is a disease-specific service for MS and related conditions, rather than a general clinic for every sports injury or stroke referral. Coordinating medical treatment with rehabilitation can help address mobility, fatigue, work, and daily activities within one care network.
5. Corpore Sano Physical Therapy
- Location
- Kenmore, Washington
- Care setting
- One-to-one outpatient physical therapy
- Focus
- Orthopedic rehabilitation and cycling-related injuries
Corpore Sano combines orthopedic and sports rehabilitation with a particular focus on cyclists. Its published services include bicycle positioning, assessment of cycling-related injuries, manual treatment, exercise instruction, and self-care for orthopedic concerns, including postsurgical joints and spine conditions.
The practice is in Kenmore and sees patients by appointment. For a cycling problem, describe both the symptoms and riding goals when booking, and establish whether the visit is a clinical physical therapy appointment or a bicycle-fit service; their scope and payment arrangements may differ.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient physical therapy?
Inpatient rehabilitation involves an overnight hospital stay and coordinated care from several disciplines. UW Medicine describes its inpatient program as typically involving three hours of therapy a day. Outpatient patients attend appointments and return home. Harborview CORP is an outpatient program, even though it is part of a major hospital. Someone needing nursing care, multiple therapies, and intensive rehabilitation should be assessed for the appropriate setting rather than booking a routine PT visit.
Do I need a referral for Harborview’s outpatient rehabilitation program?
Yes. Harborview CORP requires a medical-provider referral for its therapy services. The clinic brings together physical, occupational, and speech therapy with rehabilitation psychology and other support, particularly for neurological injury and disability. Ask the referring clinician to identify the required disciplines and send relevant hospital or specialist records. CORP appointments take place on the ninth floor of the Ninth & Jefferson Building, rather than at a generic Harborview front desk.
Where can I find therapy for MS rather than a general sports injury?
UW Medicine’s Multiple Sclerosis Center provides a disease-specific route to neurology and rehabilitation care, including access to physical and occupational therapy. That can be useful when mobility changes occur alongside fatigue, other MS symptoms, or medication decisions. The center is at 1536 North 115th Street in North Seattle. It serves a different purpose from an orthopedic clinic treating an isolated running or cycling injury.
Are there early outpatient appointments outside central Seattle?
Swedish’s Issaquah rehabilitation clinic lists weekday hours beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 5:45 p.m. at 751 NE Blakely Drive, Suite 4010. That may suit patients living east of Seattle, but office hours do not guarantee an available appointment with every specialist. Compare the actual journey and recurring appointment slot before choosing a location for a multiweek course of therapy.
