APRIL THERAPIST OF THE MONTH: Bridgett Bonte-Chun, PT, DPT

Bridgett has been with MTI Physical Therapy since 2012 and practices out of our Kirkland clinic. Here’s what Bridgett has shared about her specialties and interests:

“I thoroughly enjoy working with the diverse range of musculoskeletal patients at MTI Physical Therapy. The most rewarding part of my job is learning about people I work with and assisting them to achieve their physical therapy goals. I am so lucky to be able to spend a full hour with each patient, providing one-to-one personalized care. I find that the individual treatment approach works well for specific patient education and empowers patients to have the tools to continue to apply what they have learned in PT for the rest of their lives.

In January, I finished a residency course in manual therapy with the Ola Grimsby Institute and I find that the principles I learned about clinical diagnosis, tissue healing, and exercise prescription applies very well to each patient I work with. I appreciate the strong emphasis that MTI places on continuing education and research.

Outside of the clinic, you can find me spending time with my husband and friends, running with my dog Brinkley, or exploring the Pacific Northwest.”

It's been 11 days since the fatal mudslide in Oso and relief workers are still on site working hard to bring some closure to families. While there has been a huge community response with donations for the victims, all of the relief organizations are now saying that what they need most is money, which can be allocated as needed. MTI Physical Therapy just made a donation to the local American Red Cross to support the relief efforts in Oso. We invite you to join us in supporting this local community. To find out how you can help, visit http://www.redcross.org/news/article/Red-Cross-Helping-at-Scene-of-Tragic-Mudslide.

American Red Cross is helping people in the state of Washington impacted by the tragic weekend mudslide, providing support and comfort as they deal with this tragedy and wait for information about their loved ones.

FEBRUARY THERAPIST OF THE MONTH: Erin Patterson, PT, DPT, COMPT

Erin has been with MTI Physical Therapy since 2010 and practices out of our Bellevue clinic. Here’s what Erin has shared about her specialties and interests:

“I have always loved sports and living an active lifestyle so being a Physical Therapist always seemed like the natural choice for a career. Every day, I have the privilege of learning about each one of my patient’s lives and being able to develop individualized treatment plans to assist them in attaining their physical goals.

I am committed to my patients’ success and fully believe that spending the one-on-one time to provide education regarding the rehabilitation process, their injury and exercise program allows them to return to their hobbies, sports and recreational activities quicker and with greater success. My mission as a Physical Therapist is to empower my patients to achieve their goals and have a great understanding of their own injury and rehab process.

In my spare time, you can find me running Greenlake with my golden retriever, cycling, baking and spending time with my husband. “
