Susan is the best PT I've worked with! I herniated a disc at L5/S1 and could barely stand or move the first time I came in. About 10 visits later I was back to normal, no surgery needed. She adjusted the plan every session based on how I was actually doing that day instead of running me through a script, and she explained things along the way so I understood what we were working toward. Professional, but it never felt rushed or routine, she genuinely cared. If you're dealing with a disc issue and hoping to avoid surgery, go see her!

Susan was great. I was having really bad achilles tendonitis and she was able to get me back to running and playing rugby.

I started working with Susan Wood after 15 years of off and on pain related to an old injury. I had seen physical therapists in larger PT groups - often connected to an Orthopedic physicians group, covered by my insurance. The experience was always being one of 3-4 other patients seen by one therapist at a time and the outcome was rarely effective. Susan Wood pinpointed the cause of my pain within minutes of our initial session and provided me with tangible stretches and exercises that have me closer than ever to being actually pain free. I have learned so much in the short time I have worked with her. Whether you are actively recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain - Susan Wood can help you! I am very grateful to have found someone so willing to listen and experiment with me to get to the ROOT cause of my issues.

Susan is amazing! I went to her for both a short-term injury and decades-long back pain. With both issues, she carefully took the time to understand the root causes and in the process helped me learn how to better listen to my body and take care of my pain. I went to a big PT chain first and felt like I got generic exercises with little personal attention - this was completely different and totally worth it. I can’t recommend Susan highly enough!

I only have good things to say about my experience. I called Susan out of desperation after a couple of months mostly ignoring a disk issue from years of poor posture and a long plane ride. She took the time to work me through several exercises until finding one that helped. After a few months and added exercises, I was walking and moving so much easier and with a lot less pain. It was a year long process but every month was better than the previous until I got full range of motion back. She helped me avoid surgery, learn posture, and a handful of exercises that I continue to use to strengthen my back, position it correctly, and work it through its range of motion. I know where I will be going next time I find myself needing PT.

Susan is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. Informed by her training in the Mckenzie Method, her ability to investigate and get to the root cause of the pain shapes her treatment plan. Susan then clearly communicates the necessary information about the proper techniques so that her patients can successfully practice the exercises to enhance their healing. Susan has become my "go to" over the last several years to help keep me moving!

Susan is exactly what my pain needed! She is the whole package, professional and very knowledgeable, and also caring and fun. She worked with me to help manage my pain in a way that has never been done before. She taught me so much during my time with her. I would recommend her to anyone who is experiencing pain and needing relief.

I’m so thankful to have found Susan. I struggle with recurring back pulls and pain. In the past I’ve had professionals treat the symptoms, but Susan has helped me identify triggers and showed me solutions. With her help I believe I’m on a path to healing. She is kind, professional, very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Highly recommend Dr. Wood for physical therapy. She has helped me naturally treat severe sciatica via body movements. This was huge for me personally since my goal was to avoid surgery. Dr. Wood is patient, empathetic, educational, and deeply cares about her patients. I gained understanding on proper posture when sitting, standing, and walking which were all beneficial for long-term wellness.

In Motion Harborview Review My therapist was Gunjan Kalra at Harborview. I had 4 sessions with him during October. He is very professional and competent. The exercises and routines he has given me has helped me recover from sciatica and hip strain.

I’d give Susan 10 stars if I could. I was honestly hesitant at first—I’m not an athlete and she’s not covered by insurance—but after just a few sessions, the back pain I’ve dealt with for 25 years is gone. After a herniated disc and a referral from Vanderbilt, she took the time to really get to know me and my day-to-day life. She gave me practical ways to do what's necessary in my life like lift my 40-pound child, unload a Costco grocery haul, and actually live my life without making things worse. Her exercises fixed the pain I had and taught me how to keep it from coming back. I’ve never felt better, and I’m so grateful I found her.

I am so grateful to have met Susan. When I met her, I was living with a lumbar disc injury and sciatica pain (8/10) for over a year, and I was beginning to think surgery was necessary. Susan listened to my story, watched my motion, and over the past several months she prescribed physical therapy, and now I am living most days with 0/10 pain! Susan's understanding of the McKenzie method is HUGE, and it certainly contributed to my recovery. But, her ability to adapt and apply 'variations' catered to my specific situation is why I kept coming back to her. Throughout my recovery, she has been able to help me judge when an exercise is appropriate, and when it's too soon to attempt - something that I greatly value over the more 'formulaic' one-size-fits-all approach that I came across previously. Susan is patient, honest, and will listen to your concerns/frustrations and help you get through the pain. She has lead me in all the proper directions, and I highly recommend her!

Susan is excellent! I came to Susan for my 9 year old daughter who had experienced a heel injury that was flaring up during soccer practice. Within 6 weeks my daughter was pain free and has maintained that throughout the entire soccer season. Susan was thorough and patient. Conducting virtual sessions with kids is a challenge and Susan did a great job keeping my daughter engaged. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Susan and her practice highly enough. For years, I've struggled with persistent knee pain on long hikes and thought it was something I'd just have to live with. Susan's approach is different. She is incredibly inquisitive and takes the time to dig deep and find the true root of the issue. She then lays out a clear, understandable treatment plan to address it. The results were amazing! Susan helped me accomplish a huge goal in a very short amount of time. If you want results, this is the place to go.

I cannot recommend Physical Therapy In Motion highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Susan is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to really listen to my concerns, explain the treatment plan clearly, and tailor every session to my needs. Not only have I experienced tremendous progress in my recovery, but I’ve also learned exercises and techniques that help me to stay strong and prevent future injuries. Susan’s encouragement and positive energy made every visit something I looked forward to. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly goes above and beyond—someone who combines expertise with genuine compassion—this is the place to go!

You will not be disappointed when you choose Dr. Susan Wood as your PT! I came to her with some serious pain due to plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I’d been dealing with it for over a year and had already been to a podiatrist who only recommended stretching the foot and wearing a boot. After just a few visits Dr. Susan diagnosed the issue had more to do with my back than my foot and recommended a stretching regime to loosen my back. My foot is 100% better as I’m able to now do the activities I was able to do before the pain started!

Susan Wood is a very talented and caring PT. My ortho recommended her for treating my neck/arm pain. She helped me tremendously! She determined the mechanical issues causing my pain, provided exercises and hands on techniques to treat the pain and improve my mobility, and taught me tools to use on my own to continue managing my chronic situation and return to the activities I enjoy.
