Transformative health experiences

Welcome!

I'm Annie Garske, a seasoned physical therapist by training with over 20 years of experience navigating the healthcare landscape alongside clients. My journey in healthcare began with a focus on delivering personalized, one-to-one physical therapy care aimed at empowering clients to achieve optimal wellness. Over the years and many clients, I've honed my expertise in addressing a wide range of healthcare needs, spanning from orthopedic concerns to chronic and complex medical diagnoses. 

To get here my professional journey started with obtaining a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Washington in 2005 followed by fellowship training in orthopedic manual physical therapy with a focus on the science of exercise prescription. I am recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. This is a distinction held by only 2% of PT’s across the nation. This in depth training honed in on my logical mind and shaped a methodical clinical problem solver.  

Following the needs of my patients while personally seeking knowledge of all things health. I expanded my expertise to encompass pelvic health, lifestyle medicine, and oncologic-specific rehabilitation. While each of these are a category they similarly require a greater depth to approach. Requiring a professional whom will ride along during every aspect of the treatment journey. 

In this I embraced a holistic approach, focusing not only on clinical intervention but also on education, advocacy, and navigation. Helping clients to navigate a fractured, siloed healthcare system became a large portion of each client’s success story. And certainly went beyond the standard of care more typically housed within the known parameters of physical therapy. 

In response, I transitioned into a specialized role within healthcare advocacy and consulting, leveraging my expertise and a national network of resources. I provide a service which functions to improve a client’s health outcome while minimizing the stress and burden of navigating the system. 

Today, I continue to wear many hats, offering a range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of my clients. From providing concierge physical therapy to serving as a patient advocate. I remain dedicated to empowering individuals to navigate their healthcare journey with confidence. 

Additionally, I consult and sub-contract with businesses in the care management space. This to serve beyond one patient at a time and guide product development and client success aimed to serve similar goals: Improved health outcomes for all.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellness.
