reviews from patient fusion
Anonymous Verified Patient
We just returned from three weeks of traveling that involved hiking and walking. One day we covered over 7 miles. when we returned to Bellingham I thought about how this would have been impossible without your help and the targeted physio therapy exercises you designed for [name removed]. He's been very good about doing them, by the way.
More than this I thought about what we avoided. The surgery to fuse 8 vertebrae was what we faced as you probably recall. Had he gone through the surgery and the long recovery then done the trip and come away walking and hiking as he did, we would have considered the surgery a miracle.
But he avoided all that. And still had the miracle. So thank you for the advice, the videos, the exercises.
We are most grateful.

Hey Dan! Thanks so much for watching me at the track a few weeks ago. I'm glad I bumped into you to hear your observations. I have been doing the single leg hip exercises and icing my knee, as well as keeping it straight when I run. Just wanted to say thanks!!!

You seriously have turned my mood around and given me something to focus on to make it better!! Again thank you thank you thank you! Really means a lot you fit me in your schedule to take a look and help me out!! You are the best!!

Between Mr Benson's professionalism and his caring concern toward my well being, he is by far the best physical therapist I've seen (out of 4 others). He's very knowledgeable about the human body and it's dynamics. I highly recommend him.

What sets Dan Benson apart as a physical therapist is the care and attention he devotes to his patients, and his willingness and ability to think outside the box with regard to the cause of a patient's symptoms. Dan applies his considerable knowledge and expertise to discover causes of patients' symptoms others have not recognized, and gives each patient personalized attention to help them return to health and to their favorite activities. I would highly recommend Dan Benson to anyone seeking physical therapy.

Dan developed a line of exercises for me that help me avoid back pain and strengthen my overall body capacity: balance, flexibility, strength.

Dan knows his stuff. He has great ideas of how to strengthen the injured area without causing undue stress or pain. I have had tremendous improvement over the past year working with Dan. Will continue to use him and avoid surgery as a result.

Great Experience. The assessment was simple and deliberate. After one visit, I woke up the next morning with very little lower back pain. Whereas before it took about five minutes to get out of bed due to stiffness and ache. Thanks, Dan great PT.

Went great. Looking forward to getting better.

Dan Benson is an amazing PT. He pays close attention and identifies the body issue, then provides a series of progressive movements that ultimately lead to huge mobility improvements, if not full recovery. I would highly recommend him for any PT need.

Dan's awesome. He's very perceptive and has a great understanding of body movement. Because of that, he is able to give constructive and specific feedback to address the fundamental issue, not just the symptoms. Dan's a pleasure to work with.

Good first impression. He watched me walk, bike, run, and then assessed various stretches - probably 20-30 data points. He diagnosed the problem and explained why it was happening, providing stretches to resolve. He also gave me a tip on running form.

Dr. Benson took my history and assessed my biomechanics with a mindful and caring approach. He taught me stretches and exercises (videotaped on my iPhone with instructions!) to remedy the root cause of my problems, rather than just alleviate the symptoms.
Anonymous Verified Patient
Explain the therapy procedures clearly and easy to follow. Video type the treatment on patient's cellphone is an excellent idea and easy for patient to practice afterward. He make the treatment enjoyable.

Alice Verified Patient
Dan is great. He really understands the body and tailors each visit to your progress and injury. With injuries your body compensates for it in weird ways and he really pays attention to the entire body and all areas impacted by the issues. He's great!
Hilary Verified Patient
Dan is thorough and looks beyond the obvious injury to the underlying source of the problem. He explains body mechanics clearly so one can take the stretches and exercises he gives us, and actually understand what we need to work on.
