We are a therapist-owned physical therapy, hand therapy, and work conditioning practice located in the Health Care District of Edmonds, just one block south from Swedish hospital. You will find our clinic to be friendly, fun, and professional as we help you get back to your activities of daily living, work or play.

We utilize evidence based physical therapy interventions, including manual techniques and exercise prescription, to help reduce pain, optimize movement, improve function and prevent future injury.

We love Premier Therapy Associates. Rankin has been my PT for about 10 years, I recommend him & his office to everyone in need of PT. I've also received hand therapy from Elise. These guys are the cream of the crop!

I have used Premier Therapy Associates several times over the years for various reasons, most recently recovery from cancer surgery. Rankin is extremely knowledgable, friendly, funny, and caring. He is thorough and attuned to whatever areas need the most attention. I highly recommend PTA!

Everything about this place is top notch! My PT, Rankin, knows his stuff and is just great about teaching to ensure that I understand how to do my home exercises AND that I also understand the reasons why they are important. The office staff are friendly, fun and efficient. Couldn't recommend this therapy group more highly!

Great team and worked well with what I needed. I went in to a couple appointments for a sprained ankle and they were flexible with scheduling me. I didn't feel pressured to do exercises or activities I wasn't comfortable with, and my Pt was very knowledgeable, and provided with me great education on what was actually happening with my ankle and the healing process. Thank you!

Love the professionals with Premier Therapy Associates. Over the years, they have provided physical (and emotional!) support for several injuries, medical procedures and wellness checks for our entire family. From the friendly and very helpful women (Cassandra and Tanya) that answer the phone to schedule and check insurance information to Rankin Thompson, who always knows the best approach to a spasm in the back, recovery from a knee surgery or how to rest/exercise a particular injury. He listens and has a great sense of humor! Elise Bradley is another person that understands the "whole body" when
