Penultimate Step | Physical Therapy Maple Valley

If you are looking for a physical therapist- Dr Drew is the best!!! I did PT for 5 months with Dr Drew & Josh and now back to work & even stronger than before I got injured. I came in for a shoulder injury that almost needed surgery. The ortho doctor wanted me to do extensive physical therapy before considering surgery due to risks of it possibly limiting my shoulder mobility in the future. Before injury- I was a pretty active person using my shoulder a lot, working as a registered nurse in a hospital, doing yoga, bowling, playing tennis, baking/cooking etc. My goals were definitely to go back to my previous self. I initially went to a chain physical therapy (20+ branches) near my home. After 3 months with this chain PT I got some mobility back but strength was still not great at all, I couldn’t even lift a plate of food. My ortho Dr recommended I go to a sports PT. He also said I would need 6+ more months of PT possibly even a year, before I can go back to work. I was so frustrated I was literally begging for surgery. I found penultimate step sports rehab & it was HARD WORK. They pushed me, motivated me & some days I wanted to cry on my way home. They made sure I did my exercises even at home in between my appointments. Little by little, my mobility was improving, my pain was going away, I was getting stronger. 5 months later (not even 6 months, definitely not 1 year) & I am back at work. I can now once again do the things that bring me happiness. Thank you so much Dr Drew & Josh for everything. You guys are one of the highlights of my 2025. BEST PHYSICAL THERAPY EVER!

I highly recommend Dr. Drew for your PT needs! He has provided the best PT experience for my teenage son/athlete. He is professional, responsive, and was very flexible with our busy and always changing schedule! Using a variety of techniques, Dr. Drew helped my son return to pitching quickly and safely.Most importantly, my son is much more knowledgeable in how to train and properly care for his arm to mitigate future injuries. Thank you Dr. Drew!

Drew has been exceptionally helpful with helping rehab my knees. He’s detailed, knowledgeable and patient. He would add new modified exercises to add onto my workouts to help strengthen my knees, avoiding any extra appointments. I would definitely recommend Drew and his colleague do any physical therapy.

I recently started working with Drew for physical therapy, and he has been an absolute game-changer. I’ve struggled with low-back issues for years, and certain movements have always triggered flare-ups. Drew not only helped me rehab through the pain, but also identified the strength gaps that were contributing to the problem. The progress has been incredible. He also treated me for a recent case of golfer’s elbow, and once again his expertise stood out. Drew is extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and always willing to take a deep dive into both the injury and long-term prevention. You can tell he truly cares about getting you back to doing what you love. Drew has been a lifesaver in my recovery. Highly recommend

I had been training for a marathon for months, but I what I didn’t plan for was my post marathon recovery. Drew at Penultimate supported me with stretching techniques and dry needling therapy to help me bounce back and feel good. He was able to help with my recovery just hours after my race. On the next day, I had some soreness in my legs, but I could still walk around and do my daily activities. Drew continued to encourage easy going walking and stretching. The second day after the marathon, my legs felt great! For my next race, I’ll be sure to work with Drew during my training and for post recovery as well. Would highly recommend working with Penultimate to achieve your goals and to continue to feel good after you reach them :)
