My wife recommended trying out Tangelo for some rehab for a previously injured shoulder from bouldering a few years ago that I did PT for, but it started having pain again after starting to go back to the gym and lifting weights. I saw Dr. Dave and he was very thorough with his assessment, and not only pinpointed the areas to rehab my shoulder, but also found weaknesses and tightness in my legs, hips, and glutes. Rob was my rehab specialist who worked on my PT exercises and he tailored my rehab to the areas that needed work but also made sure it was within the level of progression I was at, and also sent me the exercises to my email. Im so thankful that I saw Dave and Rob, not only are they personable and friendly but they were able to pinpoint areas that needed work that I didnt even know myself, but it totally improved my overall well-being and quality of life! After 3 months of seeing them, I dont have any pain in my shoulders, and my posture has improved because of the rehab and strengthening exercises for my legs, hips, and glutes. I highly recommend Tangelo for your PT and chiropractic needs, and thats actually one big plus, is that they combine both types of care. Highly recommended!

I spent a few months with Rob and Mike at Tangelo in West Seattle working through some old back and shoulder injuries. Both of them came across as real, genuine people who were interested both in treating the pain and providing me with tools I can use to proactively treat flareups in the future. I learn best when people take the time to explain the mechanics and rationale behind what they think is going on, and both of them were able to accommodate that. This is the third different place I’ve gone to with these issues, and will be going back if needed in the future.

I have had on & off lower back issues for years, and after a few acute spasms decided it was time to take action. I was torn between seeing a chiropractor, which I had done in the past, or physical therapist for treatment. When I discovered Tangelo, it was like the best of both worlds! Dr. Dave is Mobley is wonderful, the chiropractic adjustments & treatments were always thoroughly explained. I really felt like he was working to correct the root cause of the discomfort, not just making it feel better in the moment.The second half of each visit consisted working with Robb to learn exercises/stretches to actually build up muscle in the areas that would prevent injury & pain in the future. By providing me with the knowledge needed to manage these issues in the future, I really did feel like the team had my best interest at heart. And I now have a toolkit to continue the work at home. And coming from someone with virtually zero weightlifting experience, the experience was actually quite fun!About halfway through my 12 sessions I discovered I was pregnant, and the entire team was able to modify any exercises as needed. I never felt compelled to do something I was not comfortable with, and always left looking forward to my next session. Should the situation arise where I feel like I need a tune-up, I know exactly where Ill be headed.

After about a two years of back pain and trying countless measures to fix my back, Tangelo was my last resort but should have been my first! After about 8 to 10 sessions, I am now pain free and can live my life as a normal person. The Tangelo team is great and very down to earth! I am still trying to grabble how I went from 24/7 constant back pain to not even thinking about my back anymore, its pretty incredible what they did with just some simple techniques.

I was in a car accident and had significant back pain. Im typically very skeptical of chiropractors. My previous experience was that they helped people for a short period, but the patient had to continue to see them weekly or monthly for the rest of their lives. I was not interested in needing an adjustment every month for the rest of my life. Tangelo is sooo different! Mike helped give me the care I needed with hands-on adjustments, but more importantly gave me tools to stay healthy and keep my back from getting re-injured with specific exercises to increase strength where needed and how to upkeep at home. The whole team really cares about you as an individual patient, giving the time and attention you need. If I ever need to see a chiropractor again, Ill be seeing Mike every time.

Tangelo - West Seattle is fantastic. They called me days before the appointment to tell me that my insurance was out of network so that I wouldnt be hit with a surprise payment. I appreciated the time they took to communicate that with me as they did not have to legally do so. I really respect the high level of morality shown here.Dr. Mike Smith was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. He was very professional in his assessment and gave me a lot of great ideas to help build up strength around the shoulder.I highly recommend Tangelo - West Seattle to anyone! You will be treated with a tremendous amount of respect and care.

Seattle, WA04529/12/2021I had acute pain, numbness & tingling after a CT scan showed some cervical and lumbar issues. I wasnt able to do my everyday activities like driving, walking, household stuff, etc., all of which I found debilitating & scary. Never been to a chiropractor, but read good reviews for Tangelo so called and they got me in immediately. Started out @2x/week and here it is 7 weeks later, and Im almost back to normal! What sets them apart is besides excellent chiropractic care (Dr. Mobley, Dr. Kim), they have a great sports rehab guy named Rob (but also another gal who was also great), who took me thru exercises after each session. I appreciated the time they took with me at each session. Never felt rushed. I also want to thank the front office person who is totally on top of her game and made insurance billing a breeze. Im still healing and with their encouragement, I now understand that healing takes time but the bodys ability to heal itself is truly amazing and patience and dedication is key.

I was referred to Tangelo from a friend who frequents their Green Lake location and wasnt disappointed. Was dealing with some hip/nerve issues and got set up with Dr. Mike and he just knocked it out of the park. Along with help from Rob, Dr. Mike was able to have me back to normal in about 12 sessions. Everyone at Tangelo West Seattle is super friendly and they have a way of making you feel like theyve known you for years!!

I had a great experience here, the staff is very friendly, professional, and informative. I was experiencing ongoing pain and decided to finally do something about it and I’m happy I found this place. They’re not just chiropractors, they also help you do exercises, that you can do at home, to make the problem area stronger and the pain go away. It worked… highly recommend!

Went in having gotten a diagnosis of tendonitis - extremely worried, since I need my wrists for my job. My primary care doc also sent me to a physical therapist specializing in hand injuries. That didnt work. However, the treatments and care I got from Tangelo -- Dr. Mike, Rob, Geneva and Rasaja was nothing short of outstanding -- they helped me learn how to be more sensitive to my muscles and provided ongoing support as my issue cleared up. I learned a lot, and also found great relief throughout the healing process. I wont hesitate to make Tangelo my first call should I need assistance with recovery of anything in the future.

I cant say enough good things about Dr. Mobley and Robb Lamb. I went with neck and arm pain that had been going on for weeks, and within about 6 weeks, I left virtually pain free. Currently I have no aches. They meet you where youre at (mentally and with what youre willing and able to accomplish) and they work with you. Theyre also super nice people. Thank you!

I visited Tangelo for a cervical injury (related to a whiplash accident) that has given me chronic pain for years. I worked with Dr. Mike Smith for chiropractic care and Mr. Robb Lamb for rehab, and their treatment was excellent. I recommend them wholeheartedly -- if I could give more than five stars I would.I came away with a new understanding of my injury, how to take care of it, and a whole range of motion and weight-bearing possibilities that I can now do without aggravating my injury that were just not possible before.Dr. Smiths chiropractic treatment and Graston technique is gentle and effective. Mr. Lamb tailored his exercises to my condition and capabilities, and got me moving again.Ive had physical therapy before, but my experience at Tangelo has given me more effective pain reduction and more return to normal function than Ive had in a long time.

Love this office! Amazing and friendly staff that love what they do wholeheartedly day after day! Dr. Mobley helped get my ankle back to it’s glory days after my countless sprained ankle incidents :) My favorite part after each appointment is I ALWAYS leave feeling even better! You will not be let down going to Tangelo @ West Seattle.

Best Rehab clinic. Having both PT and chiropractor in one visit just makes sense. I’ve been able to get appointments when needed. And worked together to get me back up and moving. Dr Mike and Robb have been great. Recommend to anyone needing PT for any reason.

Tangelo isnt just for athletes, but for all people who have any kind of pain, discomfort in their life, or who simply just want to feel stronger. I am a 20 year old musician and student. With the combination of online school, stress, and sitting at the piano all the time, I developed constant back pain that wouldnt go away. It was painful to sit down and made it hard to sleep. Tangelo provided me immediate relief with their talented chiropractic team and gave me simple exercises that I have now incorporated into my everyday life. After just being with them for a month, my constant pain is now gone and I have a routine to slowly make the rest of the pain go away. I am very grateful for the Tangelo team! It felt so good to be kind to myself and my body, and have help taking care of myself. They are incredible and truly care about all the people they see.

Let me cut to the chase: this is where you go when you want your issue(s) fixed. Not just feeling better but *being* better.At 52, I’ve been through my fair share of doctors, treatments, and approaches for all kinds of back issues, including plenty of PT, Chiro, bodywork, acupuncture, etc. Tangelo is set up to provide everything you need in one place, with an expert, integrated team working together in a very personable and straightforward manner to deliver truly effective results.I worked with Dr. Mike for hands-on therapy including massage/chiro, cupping, taping, Graston Technique, etc. He always took the time to really help me understand what was going on with my body, how the various treatments would help, and what were doing as a team to improve the situation, in the short-term and beyond. My PT was with Robb who provided the perfect combination of instruction, encouragement, and listening... even with us both masked up! Both are very genuine and friendly guys who I always look forward to catching up with, and the way they work together is what really sets Tangelo apart. In fact everyone there is super nice, and even the music is good! It’s a busy place but I never felt like I was being rushed through, always given as much time and attention as I needed.I did have to pay out of pocket as my HMO didn’t cover my work with Tangelo. But for the total relief from the pain I came in with, the deep understanding I gained of the problem and the path to a solution, and perhaps most importantly the confidence that Mike & Robb worked to successfully build in myself and my abilities… totally worth it!

I title this: “How I avoided surgery!”! I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in my left knee. I was told that surgery was an option but something I wasn’t interested in as there were no guarantees that it would help and in fact it could’ve even make things worse. PT was also suggested and so not wanting to take that risk of surgery, I sought out a PT in West Seattle. I read excellent reviews and perused Tangelo’s website and have been very happy with my results! I run agility courses with my dog with ease because the rehab and treatment at Tangelo. They have trained me how to rebuild the muscles that surround my knee which has aided in continuing strength. I highly recommend Dr. Mike and his team - they’ve all been professional, positive and accommodating.

Im in my late 30s with two bad knees (one from surgeries, one from arthritis). Havent been able to shake chronic pain for years, and havent had confidence to do anything athletic beyond riding a bike.Within 2 weeks of treatment I was running, and after a month I was jumping off boxes with weights.You got to do the work but the team at Tangelo will make it easy, and if theyre all super nice too.Cant recommend this place enough.

Review №19

Was referred to Tangelo by a friend after I wrenched my back gardening and it continued to worsen throughout the weeks. I was hesitant as I definitely wanted physical therapy, but have mixed feels about chiropractic based on working with different people throughout the years. Due to the pain, I was worried that I would just get adjustments that weren’t going to get to what I felt like was a muscular issue. I was VERY scared that I was going to be “a person with a bad back” for the rest of my life now that I’m in my late forties.There was no need to worry. Working with Dr. Mike Smith and Rob has been beyond ANY expectation I had.Dr. Smith took the time to explain my body mechanics to me and how certain muscles had been compensating (successfully) over the years from old sports injuries, etc. to get me to the place where I eventually wrenched out my back and created a plan that including ART, cupping massage, Kinesio tape, adjustment, and physical therapy. He is always very patient in answering my questions and reassuring me on what is “normal” discomfort and what pain signals are. (And no, me growing older isn’t what the problem is!). He spends the time to really listen and is an excellent educator. I never feel I’m rushed or that he is just trying to get through as many patients as possible.Rob, one of their physical therapists, is also amazing. He also does a thorough job of explaining the how and the what and the why of different exercises. I love that he won’t tell me how hard something might be before I do it—which, for me, is absolutely brilliant. His professionalism and expertise gives me confidence to really try to push myself when I’m working with him as I trust that he has set me up for success.Since starting about 2 months ago, my back pain has resolved. My almost 15 year history with SI joint pain and hip pain has almost entirely resolved (!!!). About month into working with Tangelo, I was able to do a very deep squat with ease. While that might not sound like a big deal, after a meniscectomy and those old injuries—I thought I would never be able to do one again.Much more importantly than the pain relief and increase in strength and flexibility, Dr. Smith and Rob have helped me learn to start trusting my body again. Over the last number of years, I’ve been so scared of injuring myself that I’ve really slowed down and hesitated when trying new things or pushing myself. I didn’t realize how much that fear had negatively impacted ALL of me until I started to regain that trust. Dr. Smith and Rob gave me a big piece of my life back.Tangelo is the best of the best. They do more than just fix the immediate problem, they work on setting you up so you can stay strong and injury-free in the future.

I found Tangelo from a friend, my wrist was getting tendinitis frequently and Im an artist so thats scary. I decided to try it.They not only worked on the pain with the chiropractor, they then spend the rest of your visit learning exercises on how to build that area up, how to stretch, give more muscles, so your pain doesnt happen again! They are genuinely concerned with setting you up for success.One could argue it may have been a fluke, but a few years later I take up running.I injured my back at age 35! I went to them to ask for help, hoping this isnt just how life is and that I can fix it and prevent it from happening again.Long story short, it was the same! They taught me ways to fix the pain, and work up running slowly, and how to stretch and build up muscles so I wouldnt get that pain again.They also dont mind that Im a chatterbox! They truly feel like friends. Not to mention how clean they are during COVID times. They clean everything everybody touches as soon as theyre done with the equipment, and have reduced the amount of people allowed in the building.They also told me whenever I get pregnant that I can come in there for that too! Pre and post baby! Theyre stuck with me :) Cant sing their praises enough.

Dr.Mike is a well practiced professional on all levels. I herniated my L5, went to a specialist who told me I needed surgery (after a couple epidurals). After going to a couple other PT’s, with no improvement, I found Dr.Mike. He got me back on track. I’m happy and healthy doing all the things I love again. With no pain!Do yourself a favor and make the appointment to see this guy!

INITIAL CONCERN: I was referred to Tangelo when I had back pain that refrained me from bending for a few days. Every little movement was painful, and you realize how much you use your back for almost everything. I am a nurse, so that is a BIG concern for me. Called Tangelo and they were able to squeeze me in the next day which is a lifesaver especially when you are in pain and worried.FAST FORWARD TO 4 WEEKS after my 1st visit w/ Dr. Mobley and Robb, that back pain was a blessing in disguise. Not only did my back pain resolve with the help of hands-on treatments (including therapeutic stretches and cupping), they also helped me engage in doable strengthening exercises at my own pace. Let me tell you that it is a process and the best part is this team has your back *literally and figuratively =). I have always been intimidated by workouts that involved weights and deadlifting. I lived a sedentary lifestyle in general. But Dr. Mobley and Robb worked with me every step of the way to ensure my pain would be managed as I engage in strengthening exercises. That is life-changing for me. Not only did my back pain resolve, I feel so much stronger physically, my posture has improved, and I have more confidence in doing the exercises that intimidated me. This is all because Dr. Mobley and Robb took the time to understand my concern, set goals, and guide me on how to get there.1st VISIT EXPERIENCE: You literally come into the clinic and have a one-on-one sit down w/ the doctor for your first visit. Oh and side note, wear something comfortable you can work out with =). You also get a breakdown of what your insurance covers and what you have to pay out of pocket. So , no surprises. Thanks to R. Hart!I cant give this team enough compliments because they were just what I needed. It is not just a medical treatment that I received. I also gained knowledge and ways to improve my overall physical strength and health that I can do at my own time. I was guided to do strengthening exercises and habits so my body can handle stressors if I encounter it again. Because physical stress is part of the job, such as in nursing.Anyways, I would recommend this team to all my loved ones and friends.Thank you so much Tangelo Team (West Seattle).

Dr. Dave Mobley is AWESOME! Not only is he talented in what he does, but hes also intelligent, kind, patient, intuitive, and has a calming and zen presence puts people at ease instantly.Since Covid hit, I had stopped doing movement exercises and were working longer days in front of a computer in a not-so-great chair and ended up with a very stiff and tight neck and back. Thanks to Dr. Mobley as well as Rob / Michele (PT) who came up with tailored exercises to meet my needs for each visit (and were easygoing and fun to talk to), I was fixed up in no time! I have way more range and flexibility after a month and also see noticeable changes in my posture due to the adjustments and the PT work that holds the adjustments in place.Also Rasaja was extremely kind, responsive, and wonderful to work with in scheduling appointments!Nothing but great things to say about this office and the people-oriented community theyve built!

Dr. Dave Mobley and the entire Tangelo team are incredible! After years of pain and misdiagnoses I was ready to give up and accept living with chronic back/shoulder/neck pain. On a recommendation from a coworker I decided to give rehabilitation one last chance and I am so happy I chose Tangelo.Dr. Dave and Rob (in PT exercises) created a treatment plan designed specifically for my targeted pain areas, to heal, strengthen and establish a long-term routine that was easy to follow in sessions and at home. Im experiencing a pain-free life for the first time in over 10 years and its all because of the amazing Tangelo team. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone experiencing pain, ESPECIALLY if youre at the end of your rope when it comes to other forms of treatment. Theyre the absolute BEST!

I have been going to Tangelo West Seattle for three months and have been seeing Dr. Mike and Robb – they’re awesome! I had been experiencing low back pain intermittently for over six months and it was becoming more consistent. I was also living with periodic knee pain from a very old sports industry and shoulder pain left over from a 2016 car accident. (Side note: I had been extensively treated for the car accident injury for over two years when I finally said I was tired of medical appointments and had resigned to believe that nothing more could be done except accept my outcome). I found that I had started to fall into the trap of labeling the growing list of aches and pains as being part of the aging process and that they were inevitable. However, being that I am in my early forties, I felt it was important to get ahead of the pains before they became even more debilitating. I went into Tangelo with the intention of relieving pain, gaining strength, endurance and capacity.I am very pleased to announce that the low back, knee, and shoulder pain are gone – most of the time. They periodically resurface when I don’t remain active, go excessively beyond my physical capacity or perform repetitive activities for hours on end without taking adequate breaks, stretching, or doing a few core exercises. I’m okay with this as I feel I now have tools and information to help me address the issues when they arise. I am thankful to Dr. Mike and Robb for the physical manipulation and physical training as well as the education on how the body interprets and processes pain, the value of strength training, and for the helping me to adjust my attitude and perspective towards pain, consistency and aging.I am also pleased to announce that the work I have done with them has caused me to be more active than I have been in years. I have successfully (and mostly pain free) hiked 16 miles with a 30 pound backpack, biked 26 miles, organized my basement (which involved heavy, repetitive lifting), painted and worked in my garden for hours on end. The next big test will be a kayak adventure! I feel stronger, more capable, and more optimistic than I have ever been! Thank you Tangelo!

This team is AMAZING. Tangelo has changed my life from chronic back pain to nearly none in just a few months. And this is after nearly a decade of regular treatment with my former chiropractor.

I had a wonderful experience with the team at Tangelo working on a few different issues. Dr. Mike always gave very helpful adjustments and hands on manipulation, using a variety of gentle techniques. Robb gave me a number of great exercises to build strength both in the clinic and at home. I am sad that Ive graduated from Tangelos care because it was always such an enjoyable experience, but I am thankful that my pain has significantly decreased! I highly suggest you go here for chiropractic care :)

Dr. Mike and Robb saved my life! I moved to Seattle from Kansas City—where there are no, as in zero, hills—at the beginning of this year. In order to fully explore our forever neighborhood thoroughly, we walked...in my mind, mountain climbed...all around West Seattle. In February, I walked about 10 miles from Alki beach, up and down the streets of North Admiral, South on California to Alaska junction and back. I woke up the next day with severe pain in/around my ankle. After not being able to walk much farther than a mile or two on any given day for several weeks, I decided to go to a chiropractor. She worked on my leg for several months to no real avail. I feared my persistent pain was something I might have to live with for the rest of my life. The chiropractor referred me to Dr. Mike Smith, assuring me that he possessed a skill level beyond hers that might be more effective. Unheard of, right? That speaks to how good Dr. Mike is! During my initial visit with Dr. Mike, he diagnosed and proposed a plan of recovery WITH AN END DATE! He explained the science of what was happening in my leg and what his research based approach was going to be in getting me back to enjoying my favorite activities. Working closely with Robb, a rehab specialist, I, almost immediately, started feeling positive results from Dr. Mike’s treatment. With every passing week, I could walk farther and engage confidently in a more robust and active lifestyle, ensuring my continued enjoyment of all West Seattle has to offer. Dr. Mike, Robb and everyone at Tangelo West Seattle are all smiles all the time; they listen, are interested and are urgently motivated to address your injury. The end day of my treatment has come and I’m thrilled to share that last weekend I hiked, without pain, a 6 mile hike with a 1000+ foot elevation gain near Stevens Pass. Look no further! The Tangelo Team West Seattle will help!

This place is fantastic. If I could come get my body worked on daily by Dr. Mike and Rob, I would. I am mid 30s, and want to ensure the longevity of my body, and coming to Tangelo has been the best thing for me. I am a former athlete and used to have my body worked on daily. Now, having a family, working, life demands, etc., it is difficult to get proper workouts in and my body has adjusted and compensated for the weaker areas. Bringing Tangelo in to the mix has been crucial to get everything working together again to extend the active lifestyle that I choose to live.Thank you so much everyone at Tangelo!

This place is amazing!! I cant say enough about Dave and Robb. I have been living with chronic shoulder/neck pain for the last three years--it has impacted the way I exercise, sleep, work, etc. In my attempts to fix the issue I have tried ALL forms of treatment but at Tangelo I have finally found relief. For the first time in three years I have hope that I wont be dealing with this pain for the rest of my life. Dave is kind, knowledgable, takes the time to help me understand the source of the pain, and makes me feel cared for and listened to. He is incredibly professional and has helped me to change my mindset as well as some of my daily behaviors, which have contributed to the chronic pain. Robb has helped my confidence with getting back to specific movements and is so knowledgeable about how each movement will impact my pain. He programs challenging exercises that give me confidence and I leave feeling energized and happy.My experience at Tangelo has been transformative. Every person is kind, progressional, and invested in helping patients leave better than they arrived. I feel hopeful for the first time in three years and I feel empowered to continue to make progress toward my fitness goals (pain free!!) with all I have learned from Robb and Dave. I cant recommend them more highly.

These guys are seriously magicians. Better than that really because they use science, education, and a tremendous amount of skill in everything they do.Ive been living with shoulder pain for probably about 10 years, going from tolerable to annoying to waking me up multiple times in the middle of the night. Within two weeks of regular visits to Tangelo, I slept through the night pain free for the first time in a very long time. Dr. Mike was so great at listening to my concerns, explaining to me what was going on, and making sure I felt confident in the Tangelo approach and possibility of living pain free. Robb and Garrett have both been so helpful in getting me stronger and equipping me with modifications and mobility exercises. Best of all, everyone there has been friendly and hilarious. PT isnt something I ever imagined looking forward to but I genuinely love coming in to Tangelo and working with these folks.Bottom line: if you have any sort of pain, stiffness, or general discomfort, this is your place. It was easy to set up appointments, easy to bill my insurance, and easy to FEEL BETTER. What more could you ask for?

I started seeing Dr. Mike Smith and the team since November this year and I have definitely seen progress regarding my neck and shoulder pain.My first experience with Tangelo was when they were still called Kinetic Sports Rehab in 2017, and it was the Fremont location. I recently moved to WS and was surprised and pleased to find out they have a location here as well. The team both at Fremont and WS has been phenomenal, from both business and medical standpoint.First appointment was setup very quickly (within the week via email) and you DONT NEED A DOCTOR REFERRAL! Although they are following covid-19 protocols, they were still able to schedule me to a 4-week plan very quickly. Staff are excited to help you, make things simple to understand, and I started feeling better the second week or so. When I just started, I would get headaches 2-3 times a week on average due to my neck and shoulder pain, and that has decreased to about once a week and sometimes no headache a week. I have been to other chiropractor and PT before, but none of them seem to beat Tangelos service, so Im very pleased with my progress.Thank you Tangelo - WS for making me feel better and ready to start off 2021 strong! Many thanks!

Tangelo changes the game. My gym is right next door which is how I heard about them. I decided to check it out about a month ago when I was having severe quad/IT band pain. I wasnt even sure if my injury was bad enough to actually do something about. Fast forward to now, and I feel like my body works a whole new way. The practice of the hands-on/chiropractic goods with the rehab exercises is genius. I just keep thinking about how long Ive overcompensated my movements and how in just a short time Ive been able to learn things I can take with me in my workouts on my own and every day life movement. I had no idea what there was to learn and Im so, so happy I ended up at Tangelo.The entire team at West Seattle Tangelo is SO AWESOME. The entire staff is so personable and helpful. Dr. Mike, Robb, Kate, and Garrett are all a treat to be around. Im going to be so sad to leave!! I HIGHLY recommend them for any kind of pain or weird, funky move your body is unsure about.

Where do I begin?First off, I would HIGHLY recommend Tangelo to anyone who was in a car accident, having a weird pain/something that doesnt feel right, or in need of physical therapist.Highly, highly, highly recommend. Heres why:- Dr. Smith always created a safe place for me. I could express exactly how I was feeling and nothing would get missed. He took the time to develop my trust so he could help me. I was dealing with high levels of pain though out this whole process and not once has he ever judged me or made me feel weak. He would take his time explaining what was happening to me as well as the process moving forward. Hes always willing to teach. Dr. Smith would accommodate me even when I didnt have a scheduled appointment, hed make sure I was seen and taken care of outside of my typical appointments. He is a great people person.- Rob & Sean are two people who are interested in learning about whats going on with you so they can support you in getting physically and mentally better. Rob always encouraged me to keep moving forward. These two both helped me though-out my recovery on the Rehab floor. Teaching me new ways to train my body and grow out of the pains I was having from the accident. Not every day was easy. Some days it took everything to just get out of bed. But Rob and Sean made it easier and tolerable every time I showed up for my appointments. The Rehab floor is where I got my strength back.Lastly - This location is always welcoming! Since my accident, I have now spend quite some time here and have gotten to know the Doctors and Physical Therapists. You are not just some person to them. You become a member of a community that is ready and willing to lift you up at any moment. This, for me, was critical in my recovery.This place became my safe haven when nothing else did. I was extremely active before the accident and all of that came to a stop until I started attending Tangelo. Without Dr. Smith, Rob & Sean I wouldnt be where I am today in my recovery physically and mentally. I couldnt thank them enough for what they have done for me.

Tangelo is a wonderful place to go when youve experienced an injury or a recurring issue. I have now had two injuries repaired by the excellent staff at Tangelo - a mystery hip ailment (turns out it was a very bad sprain caused by a too-ambitious hike) and a sprained ankle from a fall. Both injuries were treated by a combination of alignment, deep tissue adjustments and many other therapeutic manipulations and physical therapy movements - both worked together to solve my issues quickly.The staff is spectacular - funny, kind, warm people who are also very effective in what they do, whether its a physical adjustment or in teaching me exercises (or even helping me regain confidence in a previous injury). Everyone is friendly and makes you feel like youre having fun, even when theyre making you do a lot of weighted squats or digging deep into a tight muscle. Highly recommend.

Where to begin. The Tangelo team of West Seattle (every last one of them), was nothing short of incredible. They put their clients first, they care deeply about their practice, they remembered everything I said week after week (always asking questions like “how was that wedding last weekend?!” Or, “how’s your husbands neck feeling?”) - this is just one example of how much they care about their people.I can honestly say, even after 12+ visits over the course of 2 months, I still look forward to my appointments. The way they approach healing is unique, they are all in sync with one another and always suggest better ways to move, stretch, workout... you name it.Dr. Mike Smith always came ready with new ideas and approaches depending on how my neck was feeling (mix of manual work, tape, cupping, vibrations, adjustments, pressure...), and I always felt I was in good, capable hands.Aside from excellent care, they are all wonderful, kind, and compassionate people. Tangelo team is the best of the best and my neck has never felt better.

By far the best PT experience you can get. Customer service have met and exceeded my expectations. They truly care about your recovery and really build a PT plan to ensure you meet your goals in recovery. I am grateful to have found this gem. There is now surprise that they only have 5 star reviews.

I highly recommend Tangelo!I originally booked an appointment to help manage some hip pain - which they quickly helped me resolve. More notable is that through detailed attention from the team I have been able to mitigate chronic Achilles pain that I had previously assumed was my day-to-day normal.Their model is a blend of hands-on therapy and focused exercises, which have really helped me to sustain the healing and strength building.As a runner, yogi, and sometimes couch potato - I would recommend the team at Tangelo to my closest of friends.

I’ve loved my experience at Tangelo. As a former athlete who was tired of going to chiropractors and dealing with the same pains, Tangelo was a breath of fresh air. I am feeling less pain than I’ve experienced in years - the best part is I believe I now have the tools to sustain the results I feel. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, which makes the experience even better.

Tangelo is absolutely a game changer when it comes to holistic health and wellness. When the body trys to tell us there is something wrong, Tangelo will work with you to truly understand the root causes and help faciliate healing with an all encompassing approach. I had the privelege of mostly working with Dr. Dave in West Seattle and he was thoughtful in his approach and well as goal oriented. The conversation never stopped at healing to the point of comfortability, but going beyond and imagining the lifestyle and wellness/fitness goals for the future. Garrett was fantastic as the Rehab Specialist and took the time to explain the core reasons for the certain exercises selected and how they work together to build strength, while monitoring form and progress.Tangelos approach is all about starting where you are and working together to faciliate healing, while gaining strength and alleviating pain.Definitely go see this group, any of the practitioners here are top notch at what they do. This practice provides a fresh, modern lens on the traditional chiropractic and rehab setting, allowing the patients to excel in their recovery with speed. I know I was pain free for the first time in a few years after just a few weeks with this group. Plus, they are all great people with positive and fun energy, so what could be better?

Dr. Mike Smith and the West Seattle Tangelo team are amazing! I had been dealing with 2 nagging issues with my hamstrings and shoulder that impacted my range of motion and strength training. Under Dr. Smith’s treatment and the rehab exercises, I was able to notice a huge improvement in my flexibility and performance and felt relief from annoying pain that had previously persisted for months. The Tangelo team is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, consistent and committed to individual patient improvement. They work closely as a cohesive team so I always feel like I have at least 4 specialists/coaches helping me and guiding me through the rehab sessions. West Seattle Tangelo is a great team of really caring professionals who helped get me back to being pain-free quickly.

I love Tangelo! The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, and make me feel welcome every time I set foot in the door. Dr. Mike has been excellent in helping me get over my chronic ankle issues- I can walk and run without any pain now, and I feel like I have the tools to deal with the pain if it returns. Shout out to Sean and Rob as well - I really appreciate all the suggestions and encouragement. Without question, the best experience I’ve ever had with PT.

So glad to have found Tangelo!I was referred by coaches at my gym for help with a nagging shoulder injury that wasnt showing much progress using traditional physical therapy. After several months it was still holding me back from my fitness and weight loss goals.Dr. Smith started with a comprehensive assessment to diagnose and treat not only the symptoms, but underlying causes. This uncovered areas of over-reliance along with areas that that needed strengthening and increased mobility. Robb and the rest of the rehab team coached and challenged me through building strength during sessions, and gave me tools to use at home and in the gym to support recovery and prevention.Tangelo has been a great experience, with numerous lessons that Ive incorporated into my fitness program. With their treatments and rehab, Ive been able to get back on track and achieve my goals. So glad to have found them!

Every time I leave Tangelo, I feel incredibly strong and pain free! The entire team at Tangelo is very friendly and welcoming, it feels like such a supportive space to work on your body goals. I came in with chronic shoulder impingement and after the first session i left with no pain and feeling strong and stable. I highly recommend Tangelo to every body, no matter where you are in your fitness, or body health journey. They work specifically and individually with you to create a treatment plan that WORKS!

I met Dr. Mike at a seminar he gave at my gym. I was having some shoulder pain when lifting, but I also told him about an old injury I had that prevented me from deadlifting because if it flares up, then its painful for me to walk or stand. He said he thought he could help me not just with my shoulder, but also with my back issue and that he thought I would be able to deadlift if I just retrained my body to move differently. I had 12 sessions that were a few times a week, then tapered down after that. He was able to get me to deadlift again without flaring up my old injury, solved my shoulder pain, and helped me work on my form for my squats! I had a great experience working with Dr. Mike and the team at Tangelo. Cant recommend them highly enough!

Life. Changing. Parking is easy. The space is gorgeous. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and supported. I had never done PT before my first visit at Tangelo and now I cant imagine my life without them! I am a fitness professional teaching 10-15 classes/week and I found Tangelo in an attempt to sprinkle in some necessary self-care to my routine. They are thoughtful, attentive, and keep it upbeat and positive. Dr. Mike + Geneva helped guide me through a program specific to my body and its needs. After some hands-on treatment and attention, they walked me through some simple, quick exercises (aka easy to practice and maintain despite busy, active lifestyle) and it has transformed the way I feel in my body. You are informed and supported every step of the way, even after you leave your appointment. They are amazing!

I was referred to Tangelo by a friend and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I live an active lifestyle but found myself less and less active over the years. Dr. Mike and Sean worked diligently with me, listening to my pain points and providing great care towards my goals. I took my at home exercises seriously and within weeks started to feel stronger. I’ve tried other methods (chiropractor, wellness studios, etc.) and Tangelo’s methods by far showed the best results. Thanks, Tangelo team! Forever grateful.

It is amazing to feel great and be pain free. I have had my fair share of horrible, unprofessional, shady, and just plain bad chiropractic and PT care over the past 12 years of living in Seattle. I had stumbled upon Tangelo, their Greenlake location, when my massage therapist started renting space in their location. I suffered from a pretty bad neck injury in 2014 and had chronic pain which would come and go in waves. In 2015/2016, I woke up one day unable to move my neck and called my Massage therapist and she said, You need to see Dr. Smith. And so I started seeing Dr. Mike Smith and his team. I am so impressed with the professionalism, the gentleness, the compassion, and great senses of humor the whole Tangelo team has. They are experts and really walk the talk of helping people be in charge of their own health and recovery. When Dr. Smith moved over to the West Seattle clinic, of course, I followed and now am on a maintenance plan. I am so grateful for the care I receive and the studio is a really fun, clean place. I also feel like I get great takeaway homework which I can do at my house or at the gym. So much gratitude for the Tangelo team!

Review №57

I asked my doctor for a referral to a chiropractor because after 10 years of lower back pain, I couldnt take it anymore. I kept assuming the pain was my fault, and thought that stretching, rest, ice and moderate activity would solve it. What i really needed though, was TANGELO!My first impressions were two-fold:1. Dr. Mike Smith (chiropractic doctor) and Robb Lamb (MS, ATC/CSCS, strength conditioning) talked to me like an equal and wanted me to UNDERSTAND what my body was doing and WHY they knew their methods would work. As a sceptic (10 years of pain does that to you) and a woman, this mattered to me.2. They were SO POSITIVE. Like, they really believed they could fix my back pain. That energy is contagious.After 4-5 weeks of visiting them (3x/week - put in that time!!)....* my back pain has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY* I have a tool kit of exciting at-home exercises I can do because I WANT to (not because I have to do boring physical therapy)* and my confidence in my bodys ability has GROWN.A typical 45 minutes visit includes time with both the chiropractor and time for sports conditioning-- The doctor does muscle massage stuff, cupping, taping, and talks details about what is working/not working, tissue progress, etc.-- Sports conditioning includes lifting weights (stuff I never thought I could do or was too scared to try), stretching and other exercise stuff that is baller and fun!I honestly cant recommend them enough. They rock.

The West Seattle Tangelo team does an incredible job at delivering an inclusive, personable, and customer-service oriented rehabilitation. Their combined chiropractic/physical therapy approach enabled me to receive quick relief for my injuries while focusing on building foundational differences to how I approach movement and exercise.It says something that I was excited to go in for my appointments knowing I would see the familiar faces who were there to help me be my best. Dr. Dave, Rob, and Sean were incredibly experienced with listening to my current symptons, honing in on the root causes of these, and providing support to strengthen and prevent in the future.

I really appreciated that Tangelo, Dr. Mobley, and Rob (PT), gave me a comprehensive view of my injury, and a holistic program with table sessions and exercises to not only help with my recovery but also education on how I can prevent it in the future.The missing star is because scheduling was unusual... Session were showing up that I wasnt aware of and I felt like I had to stay on top of the texts and e-mail notifications to avoid cancellation fees.

I was looking for somewhere to go to help with some hip pain I was having after running. I heard nothing but wonderful things about this place through someone at my gym and could not agree more. At my initial appointment, I saw Dr. Smith. He diagnosed my problem, answered all of my many questions, and set up a great plan for me to help retrain my body how to fire muscles in the correct order. At every consecutive appointment, Dr. Smith and all of the Tangelo staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and personable. As someone that works in the health care field, I really appreciate providers actually knowing me and not just being another patient. Everyone that works here makes an effort to get to know you as an individual while ensuring you receive the best care possible. Geneva and Sean always greet you with smiles and ask how you are feeling. They do an amazing job jumping between patients on the rehab floor and making sure everyone gets the help they need. Spencer is always so friendly and great to chat with while checking out and greeting you as you walk in. He even last minute squeezed me in when I had a different injury come up. When I got to the end of my rehab, not going to lie, I was a tiny bit sad to not have to come back to Tangelo as frequently as I had been. Not only was my initial pain no longer present, I have learned how to keep my body healthy and pain free for long term results as well. My friends are tired of me talking about how much I love this place but I would highly recommend it to anyone. THANK YOU! :)

The team at Kinetic (now Tangelo Manual Therapy + Movement) is fantastic. For the past year (and on and off for years before that) I was struggling with persistent low back and hip/glute pain. Im 46 and generally fit/healthy - but I couldnt sit, stand or sleep comfortably let alone exercise and stay active. I saw a traditional chiropractor for months in 2017, went to the spine clinic/physical therapy at a local medical center and tried everything to massage, stretch and exercise my way through and out of pain. I was incredibly discouraged and frustrated.The Tangelo team, led by Dr. Mike and Geneva, finally got me on a path toward healing. Dr. Mike was great at listening, thoughtfully diagnosing and explaining what was going on...so that even on my initial visit ~10 weeks ago I felt hopeful and encouraged. Geneva and all of the rehab specialists are caring and attentive - and that extends even further to Meg and the patient care coordinators. This is team that truly seems to love what they do, and thrives on achieving great results for their patients. With their support and guidance, I have the tools and techniques I need to get and stay healthy and active, and not let back pain dictate what I can and cant do.

After five years of chronic foot pain I decided to finally put the time and energy into finding some answers. I was expressing my dismay and frustration at where to go to my favorite yoga teacher and she pointed me in the direction of Tangelo. She had had chronic shoulder pain that she also hadnt been able to solve until she went to Tangelo. From the first day at Tangelo my recovery was a commitment that I felt from every member of the team of professionals working with me. They were focused on solving my foot pain, and while my journey is not over we are on the right road. The combination of therapy and exercise is highly effective and the staff is very responsive to modifications and life limitations. I highly recommend the team at Tangelo.

Review №68

After suffering from chronic knee pain and inflammation for years, I had my worst episode yet after repeatedly stepping over my grandson’s baby gate aggravating my kneecap. Besides offering cortisone injections or arthritis medication (which I really did not want), my doctors had previously advised me to lose weight and to work on strengthening my legs, but that’s really difficult when you’re always in pain. I had to do something. It was not getting better this time. So, I searched online for knee specialists and came across Tangelo in West Seattle. I liked that they used both chiropractic and movement therapies so I gave them a call and got in that day.I could barely walk when I arrived for my first visit. My kneecap felt displaced and I could not straighten my leg. It hurt all over and was really hampering my life. Dr. Mike quickly assessed that there was nothing structurally wrong with my knee but rather a tight IT band causing my problem from my body compensating for an outward turning foot when I walked. After just one treatment by Dr. Mike I felt much better and saw swelling go down that I’d had for years. I walked out hopeful and feeling much better.Everyone at Tangelo was so nice and knowledgeable, but working with Sean and Robb was a treat. Their positivity and inspiration made the work fun and easy, all the while they stayed sensitive to my abilities and attentive to the movement corrections I needed. Their encouragement kept me motivated and helped me push through when it got hard so I could get the results I needed.Two months later I’m feeling stronger and better than I have in a very long time! Tangelo gave me the help I needed along with the tools I needed to create my own success for healing and getting stronger down the road. Most importantly they gave me relief from the pain I was suffering when I first called which allowed me to get back to everyday living. I am so thankful I found Tangelo!Overall, I had a great experience at Tangelo and I’d recommend them to anyone in pain to give them a try.Thank you Tangelo!!!

Update to my Review: On day one, Dr. Smith asked, “What was my goal with treatment?” I said “I don’t want pain or immobility to prevent me from doing anything I want to do.” I haven’t had a treatment in over 6 months and I can safely say I can do anything I want and don’t experience any pain. I do/coach CrossFit, I mountain bike (and fall hard), I kayak, I do handstands, Olympic lift, do yoga, play basketball, play tennis, run, hike, jump, move furniture, but most importantly, I live day to day with no pain. I couldn’t say that 12 months ago. I could not have had a better experience.—Amazing group of doctors and therapists. As a CrossFit coach, I greatly appreciate their knowledge and expertise. I worked with Chiropractor Dr. Mike Smith, Functional Rehab specialist Robb Lamb, as well as co-founder Sean Masters. I came with a shoulder issue and left a more well rounded athlete. The team was able to put a program together to address my major issue, while giving me tips/tricks to progress in other areas. I’ve seen other therapists for the same shoulder problem and nobody had been able to give me direction how to fix the underlying cause; enter Tangelo. As an business, their goal is to give the client all the tools necessary to rehab and prevent future injuries. This is such a great group of people, you’ll want continue seeing them regularly, even when you’re all fixed up.

Dr. Smith and his team are AMAZING! All are very caring, non-judgmental, and encouraging. I came to Tangelo to work through some persistent plantar fascia pain. I had a plantar fascia release surgery a few years ago but sometimes deal with a recurrence of pain. This was quickly resolved and then my knee on my opposite leg started causing some issues. I was having difficulty walking up and down stairs and hills, had pain while sleeping, and was just overall uncomfortable moving. After my first visit to work through knee pain with Dr. Smith, I was already feeling relief. I decided to schedule an intensive series of appointments at Tangelo. I put in my work, and have been feeling great. I have almost zero pain, have been able to keep an intensive OTF schedule, and walk with ease. Im more active then I have been able to be in years, and am well on my way to enjoying some of my favorite activities again, hiking most especially. The team here is caring and personable. They will help push you to achieve your goals and give you confidence. I cant recommend Tangelo and Dr. Smith enough!

Tangelo brings a pragmatic holistic approach to injuries and chronic pain. Their motto is Heal, and stay healed. In a world of providers that just deal with pain management, or symptomatic treatment, Tangelo provide a focused path supported by their experts in pain and movement that will leave you not only free of pain, but also - more importantly - with the knowledge to avoid sliding back into the bad habits/behaviors that caused it in the first place. They are life changing. They rehabilitated me from a herniated disc, and over the course of a year uncovered and treated the underlying causes and behaviors that led to it. Ive been in chronic pain for the last 10 years of my life. Im not any more. No operations, no medication, just seeing these guys and following their plan. If youre not getting treated here, then youre not getting treated.

I probably wont be able to accurately express my appreciation for Tangelo in this review so bottom line - they are amazing, go see them for any pain or injury you may be experiencing. Highly recommend.My doctor referred me to Tangelo based on feedback from other patients. Im so thrilled to have found them and will never go back to traditional PT and/or chiropractic care again. Imagine a model where a super welcoming and skilled staff of chiropractors and physical therapists partner and communicate about your care! See a chiropractor and a PT in the same visit! Dr. Mobley has helped me truly understand my injury and how to take care of my body. Sean, Robb, and really all the PTs genuinely care about helping you reach your goals - whatever they may be. They have a really special thing going on there and you should go and be a part of it.

Review №76

My time at Tangelo has reopened doors in my physical life that I was sure had long since closed. A lifelong athlete 20 years removed from an ACL Reconstruction followed by the removal of my medial meniscus, I had taken to cycling as the only real way to stay active without over-aggravating my surgically repaired knee. While Ive excelled at amateur racing, I would still struggle with bouts of knee pain that would force me off the bike. I had spoken to orthopedic surgeons about micro fracture surgery or other ways to recreate some of the cushion that disappeared when my cartilage was removed, but there really werent any options. I was resigned to just seeing how many more years I could get out of it before Id have to have a knee replacement.I met Dr. Mike through a quick assessment at the Orange Theory gym Id started going to with my wife. I was pretty skeptical that anything could be done to help my knee, but he was convinced that we could reprogram my movements to dramatically reduce the stress on my knee. Turns out he was right! Ive gone from skeptic to believer. The Tangelo team helped me understand the movement patterns I had adopted over the years as protective were actually limiting. Theyve been working diligently with me to retrain those patterns so that I can actually squat correctly (maybe for the first time in 25 years) and it actually doesnt make me whine in pain. My mobility and stability have vastly improved making everyday activities like weeding the garden actually fun again and I can actually run!The functional improvements have translated to the bike as well. While Im not able to train as much as I used to (mostly due to work demands) Im seeing the work weve done to open up my hips translating into me being able to ride and maintain a more aerodynamic position on the bike while still putting out good power numbers.The whole Tangelo team has been great to work with and incredibly supportive along the way. Dr. Mike, Sean and Rob have been fantastic. The programs have been tailored to me and adapted weekly depending on the sensations Im getting and the progress were making. If you are a performance athlete whos been struggling to fight your way through an old nagging injury, I would highly recommend the Tangelo team to put new life into old joints.

I am so happy with my experience at Tangelo! I had been living with low back pain on and off for a couple of years and from time to time I would lose mobility due to extreme shooting pain. I couldn’t carry my kids or do simple tasks (bending over to load the dishwasher) without the chance of “throwing my back out”. After my final pregnancy I was ready to get back into running. I hoped the pain would ease after I got into a regular exercise regimen again, but unfortunately the pain was so bad I was unable to do a single lap around the track each time I tried. I was discouraged, fearing that I might never run without pain again. My husband encouraged me to see Dr. Mike after his successful experience at Tangelo. I was able to get in for an appointment within a couple days and from my first interaction I was hooked. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Mike is thorough and detailed. He asks a lot of questions and listens attentively. He explains what I need to do at home and why, and then he repeats the instructions at least 1 more time before I leave. The floor staff is fun and great at walking me through a variety of exercises that are repeatable at home. Every time I leave Tangelo I am encouraged and free from pain. The progress has not been immediate and I still wake up with pain many mornings. But I have already seen so much improvement and now I know the exercises to do to continue building strength and healing my back. Just yesterday I ran 3 miles without pain! And I can put my kids in the car without my back seizing up on me. I would recommend Dr. Mike to anyone experiencing pain that restricts their movement or daily activities. It has significantly increased my quality of life.

I started up when I did a consult through my Orangetheory studio - I was hesitant to commit at first but I am glad I did.Dr. Michele has been taking care of my hip and shoulder issues, and I worked with Dr. Lisa before she moved on from the practice. Michele is friendly, professional and overall an awesome person and caretaker. You can tell she really wants to do the best by her patients, and she has a great sense of what you need in treatment based on conversations and asking the right questions.Ive worked with Robb, Sean, and Garrett in treatment on the other side - theyre all really great at what they do, they all bring a unique personal energy to everything, but its always a good time while Im completely engaged in the work of beating my injuries to death through rehab exercises. Seriously, these people know what theyre doing and know what you need to succeed. Theyre ready to change it up any time - sometimes Ill work out after and theyll modify the gameplan on the spot when I show up to get me ready for it.Kate runs the front of the house, and she is equally as awesome as everyone else. Shes always ready to help if I have random questions about anything from the portal to insurance claims to my next session - and shes just really kind and cool.Must be something in the water over there - but whatever it is - if youve got a nagging injury, some pain, or any other physical ailment this is the place you want to be. Everytime I show up Im met with a warm welcome and I just feel my energy shift when I walk through the door. I love to see the whole team collaborate on patients treatment in every phase to make sure theyre providing the best care possible. Having a weekly session (or more, if needed) in my routine has really helped me feel better physically, but also has helped me stay motivated to get my workouts in throughout the week - this place hasnt exactly changed my life, but I know Im a lot better off now physically than I was before I started here, and Im grateful for that.

I see dramatic improvements each time I go - check it out!

I was in a serious car accident several months ago and found Dr Mobley and Emmie at the West Seattle Tangelo location. I don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am to have found them. Not only did that accident hurt me physically but it did damage to my emotional state as well. Working with Dr. Dave Mobley these past few months through chiropractic work and gentle movement guidance with the help of Emmie has made a significant difference in my recovery. They are my healers and how they work together as a team is remarkable. I appreciate their modern mindset to healing and that they are skilled in the newest technologies and treatments toward healing. They also have helped rebuild my confidence and spirit with their positive motivation and encouragement. I truly believe they want to see me feeling well both physically and emotionally. The whole staff is very kind and welcoming and convenient with scheduling. My healers. I am so thankful for them and would highly recommend this team to anyone seeking treatment. ❤️

I have had an injury for about 7 years now. Ive done PT for it with some success but it wasnt until I met Dr. Mike and friends at Tangelo that I felt like I really understood what was going on. Recently I had an exacerbation of bursitis and when I showed up in tears at Tangelo, the entire staff (even therapists who werent working with me) were so kind. I hadnt been in for over a year and I had let my injury flare to the point that I couldnt bear weight on my leg. I felt so embarrassed that I hadnt come in sooner and the first thing they said was its okay, youre here do NOT be hard on yourself. As for the theory of practice, they teach you to think about body mechanics and injuries in a new way and it WORKS!! Im a nurse and a retired ballet dancer who historically doesnt believe in chiropractics but I am 100% invested in movement therapy at Tangelo. I cant say enough good things about them.

I came to Tangelo in West Seattle seeking relief and healing for a very painful case of plantar fasciitis that I’d been dealing with for 6 months. Michele and Robb were fantastic! Before coming to Tangelo I had tried to heal on my own with stretching, orthotics and various other strategies, but nothing was working. Walking had become so painful I was spending most of my time on the couch. Did a lot of research, trying to find the best foot therapy in Seattle. I really liked Tangelo’s multi-therapy, functional movement approach. I must say, I was wary at first to make an appointment after checking out their website and Instagram photos. From what I saw, it looked like no one over 40 went there. But I was desperate for relief and was impressed with their philosophy. I’m happy to report they DO have older clients who aren’t in peak fitness! Over the course of a month of treatment my foot pain eventually went away and I’m back to living a normal life again. I’m so thankful! The whole staff there are great, too. Everyone smiles and greets me by name. I always feel welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

The doctors and trainers at this location are fantastic. The are dedicated to finding the root cause of your pain and then teaching you how to make it go away and stay away. Their positive attitude is contagious. Give it a try, and help yourself to a La Croix on the way out.

I came in with discomfort in the neck area due to work. I was definitely years over due for a visit to a clinic of the like. Dr. Mike Smith, Garret and Sean made me feel at home at Tangelo West Seattle. They not only relieved the discomfort but gave me the tools I could use at home and work to help now with any future discomfort.

I had back pain that interfered with my daily movement and exercise routine for two months. After working with Tangelo I feel as though I never injured myself. Now, I am more aware of my form and less likely to injure myself in the future.

I love the crew at Tangelo in West Seattle. After living with a chronic hip issue for the past five years, I have been really happy with the treatment and results Im getting from Smith and the gang there. Its not a run of the mill chiropractic or physical therapy practice so if youre looking for a quick fix/bandaid this is not the place. Its about retraining bad movement habits and even cognitive awareness which is so neat and it works!!

Review №92

I cant say enough good things about Tangelo! I was originally recommended by a former patient who was listening to me complain about the severe pain in my foot. I had already gone to my doctor and after finding no fractures/breaks his recommendation was to try stretching. Lets just say that didnt work out so well and 3 weeks later I went in for a consultation. From the moment I walked in you could just tell this experience was going to be different. Everyone and I mean everyone at Tangelo is so warm and welcoming...you feel like you are going to visit friends instead of therapy. After a quick consultation, they immediately diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis and got to work on a treatment plan that included stretching, specific movements, and working of the tissue. I can say that after 1 month Im completely cured and can wear whatever shoe I want for however long I want. Dont wait or suffer anymore. Call Tangelo!

Review №93

I thought I was fully recovered from an ankle injury after I completed traditional physical therapy and over a year had passed, but after getting back into working out it flared up on me big time. I had extreme tightness in both legs that was completely debilitating. My ankles and knees would get sore just from normal walking throughout the day. I like to maintain an active lifestyle so this was extremely frustrating and discouraging. I thought I might just have to deal with this forever...until I went through a 6 week program with Dr. Mike, Geneva and the rest of the team at Tangelo. They retrained my brain and muscles to move in a different way and gave me the tools to continue my recovery and wellness at home. The combination of rehab exercises and manual therapy was new to me but far exceeded the experiences Ive had at traditional physical therapy clinics. To put it over the top, their space is super modern and every single staff member is incredibly nice and knowledgable. I HIGHLY recommend!

Highly recommend Tangelo. They utilize both physical therapy and chiropractic techniques, which is exactly what I was looking for. Dr. Mobley listened to all my concerns and helped me heal from a minor knee injury and chronic hip and back pain. I had previously tried just chiropractic for the chronic injuries and it did not work at all. Was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I recovered under Dr. Mobleys guidance! In addition to treatments, he worked together with trainer Sean to teach me form and strength exercises to retrain my body to utilize the right muscle groups to both heal and prevent further injury. It was such a fun and positive environment, and was refreshing to find health care professionals so invested in your healing.

I will start off by saying that Dr. Mike Smith and the staff at Tangelo in West Seattle have changed my life. I am more informed than I ever have been about my body the importance of form and certain movements. About three years ago I ruptured my ACL playing soccer and had surgery to repair it, using my patellar tendon. Since then, it has been an uphill battle to get back to where I was prior. I can work out and do most anything anybody else can, but I had a lingering pain in the knee that would not go away, and actually was getting worse and worse as time went on. Being active is super important to me and a huge part of my life, I snowboard and hike seasonally, and I go to the gym about every day. I was starting to think that this pain was just something that I was going to have to live with, and that someday I would not be able to continue those activities that mean so much to me. I have seen a multitude of physical therapists and specialists over the years and nothing was helping. I figured that this was a risk of having surgery.Dr. Mike is so passionate about his work and patients, he educated me and helped me treat myself so that I can now be self-sufficient. I cannot thank him and the Tangelo peeps enough, and Emily for referring me (shout out West Seattle OT). I feel so strong, and I know my body so much better! If you have aches or pains or something doesn’t feel right when you are trying to be active, I highly recommend setting up an appointment at Tangelo.

I had never experienced a (relatively) major injury before the one that brought me to Tangelo. I spiraled, thinking I had to put myself out to pasture at 30. One session with Dr. Mike and Sean turned everything around. They helped me access muscles I didn’t even know I had, building new muscle memory to help prevent future injuries, and banished any thought that I can’t accomplish my goals if I’m willing to put in the work. I cannot recommend them enough! Walk, run, or (if you’re like me) hobble there if you’re in pain and want to get back on your feet.

Dr. Dave Mobley is amazing! He got write to the root of my problem and not only helped to resolve the pain but also gave me a multitude of ways to prevent further injuries. The PT team, Emmie and Rob, that work with him have been extremely encouraging and supportive as well. I have learned so much about strength, mobility and the importance of form and core strength. Every member of Tangelo is fantastic. I highly recommend it as a place for any sports injuries.

Had a great experience here. Came in with knee pain that had been bothering me for years. Mike and the trainers worked with me to strengthen the muscles around it and now I can run without pain.

Extremely pleased with the treatment and healing Ive received at Tangelo. The tissue manipulation, unconventional chiropractic work, utilization of different treatment modalities and stellar exercise plans have helped alleviate my pain and strengthen my weaknesses so the injury does not reoccur. Dr. Mike is stellar. This clinic is different in an awesome way and because of that you actually experience positive results.

I found Tangelo on the recommendation from my fitness coach. When I walked in the door I felt immediately welcomed. The staff are amazing, helpful, and encouraging. Scheduling appointment is very accommodating and easy. In the past I would have to go to 3 or more different clinics to get the same treatment I’m getting at Tangelo.When I first walked in I was in constant lower back pain and knee pain that was getting in the way of my daily life and fitness goals. With the help of Dr. Dave and Robb on the rehab floor I am no longer in constant pain. I have learned so much from them. From how to preform daily activities like walking up stairs in better position to how to do a deadlift properly. I am getting stronger and more confident in my body’s ability. Just last week I ran for the longest time I’ve ever run since High School and I am now dead lifting 80lbs.
