I cannot say enough good things about the physical therapy team at Highline. From the moment you walk through the door, you are met with a professional yet incredibly warm and welcoming environment. Lee and Shakira are truly wonderful. The therapists here truly listen. Lisa and Jay took the time to understand my specific goals and tailored a recovery plan that felt both challenging and achievable. Their expertise is evident, but it’s their encouragement and patience that really stand out. The PTAs don’t just guide you through exercises; they educate you on how your body works and how to use the proper 'form', which gave me so much more confidence in my daily movements. The entire staff is organized, communicative, and clearly dedicated to their patients' success. If you are looking for a team that combines high-level clinical skill with genuine compassion, I highly recommend Highline Physical Therapy - Burien.

Staff is friendly, punctual and knowledgeable. PT Paul Groschel was attentive, has a calming nature and demonstrates professionalism. As a retired Personal trainer, competitive powerlifter and current group fitness instructor, I will definitely recommend Paul and Highline PT to my clients.

I’ve been to Highline Physical Therapy in the past for a variety of short term issues and am currently there for a more complex issue that will take several months of therapy. The staff is well trained, professional and focused on the best possible outcomes for their patients. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been attending physical therapy sessions for about two weeks now at your physical therapy facility. I must say, your team is truly exceptional. The level of professionalism and expertise they display, especially Paul Groschel, is remarkable. His wealth of knowledge and professionalism in working with clients is truly impressive. Thank you very much, Pete.

I'm disappointed with my overall scheduling plan at Burien's Highline Physical Therapy clinic. I strongly value continuity of treatment, which includes having the same physical therapist for each of my sessions, to better gage my progress and how to adjust my treatment. However, I've been told by the staff there that they have not been able to hire many permanent therapists, and thus are getting by in bringing in short-term "traveller" therapists. So I've been having to move from one traveller therapist to another as they depart to other places. And this week I was moved from a traveller therapist to just an assistant therapist without any prior coordination with me. It's very frustrating. ' Updated Review: The response is just a referral to a general company phone number for PRN, an out-of-state national company that owns Highline Physical Therapy. I went through the process and got no response at all. Scheduling at this facility continues to be an issue. I showed up for my latest appointment, with yet another different therapist, only to be told that my appointment had been moved without proper coordination or concurrence with me. I will be shifting to a different provider soon, one that places a higher priority on customer support.

Commonly Asked Questions & What to Expect During Your PT Treatment

Do I need to see a doctor first?

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

What do I need to bring to my first visit?

For your first visit, be sure to bring the following items:

  • Prescription for physical therapy from your referring physician (if applicable)
  • Government issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
  • Insurance card(s)
  • Patient forms, which can be downloaded from this site in PDF format. Print and fill out the forms completely and bring them during your first visit.
  • Patients who are minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their first visit.

What should I wear to physical therapy?

Please wear or bring comfortable athletic/workout clothing to change into. This includes shorts or sweatpants, a t-shirt and sneakers. Your attire should also allow easy access to your injured area for treatment by your physical therapist.

What can I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, your therapist will perform a thorough examination, in which he or she will review your physician’s recommendations, examine the problem area, ask questions about your injury or pain, develop an effective treatment plan for rehabilitation, discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan may include hands-on, manual therapy, a customized exercise program, stretching and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Your physical therapist may also recommend a home program to further assist in your treatment.

How long will my appointment take?

Your first appointment will typically last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your injury. Following appointments usually last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment for check-in and paperwork. You can also download our patient forms, which can be filled out beforehand and brought with to your appointment.

How often will I need to come?

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we require at least 24 hours' notice. However, we do understand than an occasional emergency or illness may arise, in which case you may have to cancel your appointment closer to your scheduled time.

Do you accept insurances? Will insurance cover my therapy?

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.
