About Us

Link Physical Therapy was formed in 2022 by Physical Therapists Sarah Chisholm and Lisa Swanson. Their desire is to have a small, patient-centered practice where the focus is on helping clients through the application of Fascial Counterstrain and Strain-Counterstrain. Sarah and Lisa hope that you will visit us in our new location and experience the life-changing benefits of this revolutionary healing method. More information on our methodology can be found at www.counterstrain.com

"I have received physical therapy from nine different physical therapists in my life. Sarah and Lisa are a step above the others. These therapists at Link Physical Therapy use an emerging, and I believe a much more effective approach based on the premise of Strain/Counterstrain. They consistently maintain their training and research to more perfectly deliver this practice to their clients. Although having visited many other physical therapists in Spokane, until I found Strain/Counterstrain therapy, and especially these therapists, I did not receive relief from my pain. This has meant pain relief without pain pills."

Testimonials

In October 2019, I experienced a shingles induced rare neurological event. In the following weeks, my body’s reaction to all external stimuli became severe. The list of resulting symptoms is dramatic, and long. Needless to say, I lost the ability to walk, speak, feed myself, and a multitude of other ordinary tasks without severe difficulty. Working was out of the question, and the very act of living felt untenable. My neurologist originally sent me to a traditional physical therapy clinic. I learned through that experience how to manage my challenges, however they were not able to help me heal in any significant way. I had seemingly irrevocably lost my life as I knew it. It was devastating. A friend referred me To Sarah Chisholm and Lisa Swanson for a second opinion and for that referral I am forever grateful. Within a few sessions I began to recover my ability to speak, and under their knowledgeable care, I began to steadily improve on all fronts. It felt like a miracle. I cannot recommend this team more highly. Their unique expertise, quality of care, commitment to continuing education and deep care for their clients is unparalleled. I have experienced several injuries over my life and as a result have done a lot of PT under quality care. My previous experiences cannot even begin to compare to what Lisa and Sarah have to offer as practitioners. They gave me my life back, and I will be forever grateful.

I am 62 years old and have beaten myself up snowboarding, wake boarding and biking. After my spine surgery, my neurosurgeon sent me to Sarah and Lisa to have them ‘fix’ me. In a couple sessions I was better and after a couple months, they had me out of pain and improved mobility - feeling better than I’ve been in years. They are miracle workers! So appreciate these two exceptional healers for what they do, certainly, but more so, for who they are. They are masters of patient care.

I have been working with Lisa for several years. When I started with her I had severe chronic pain and used pain medications to get through the day. Lisa not only addressed the pain issues but also helped me develop a lifestyle that has given me pain free days and I am off pain meds. Her treatment methods are gentle and comprehensive. I strongly urge anyone with chronic pain to see her.

Absolute miracle workers! Both my husband and I have been treated by both Sarah and Lisa off and on through the last several years. The work they do to heal the body is off-the-charts. They are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and if you are lucky, you'll be there on a day when the office dog is in too.
