Natalie Solarek

Natalie Solarek, DPT

Natalie chose physical therapy because she has always been fascinated with the human anatomy and physiology. She enjoys the problem solving and diagnostic nature of the profession, as well as the fact that she will always continue learning. However, having the ability to spend time with her patients in order to truly get to know them and educate them regarding their conditions is what led her to choose PT over other health care related professions.

Natalie has a BA in Psychology from University of Washington in 2007 and recieved her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Washington in 2010. Her primary interest lies in orthopedics and manual therapy. She also enjoys working with patients who have neurological impairments. Natalie am a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, as well as the Orthopedic Section. She plans on being certified in ASTYM this May.

Natalie reallys enjoy the variety of musculoskeletal conditions that she gets to see at this clinic and having the ability to work with patients of all ages. She strongly believes in making sure that the patient and she are striving for the same goals and tailoring her treatment to best suit his or her needs. She feels that she can accomplish this at her place of work.

One goal that Natalie hopes to accomplish through her clinic is to specialize in orthopedics and manual therapy. Eventually she would like to be able to volunteer her time to work with people who are unable to afford PT but truly need it.

Natalie believes in the importance of personal relationships and likes to spend her free time with family and friends. She enjoys working out and being active outdoors, watching football games, and volunteering. However, she also recognizes the importance of relaxing with a good book or a movie :)
