I've suffered for decades from body pain, stiffness and mobility issues from POTS and fibro, and I've seen dozens of PTs over the years. The first time I saw Kim, she knew exactly how to treat me, and I started seeing soShow morelid gains even though I was given far less exercises than other PTs gave me, as Kim's were targeted to my holistic well being and ability. I am continuing to grow the confidence in my body, and Kim's treatment has helped me more in a few months than years of other PT.
This was the most thorough and comprehensive evaluation I have received from a PT (this is the 4th PT I have had in the past 10 years). Dr. Burns obvious skill, knowledge and care left me feeling hopeful that my injury can be rehaShow morebilitated. She did not rush, answered all my questions and provided a great deal of additional information. She sent a follow up with details on how to do my exercises less than a day from when I saw her. Easily 5 star care.

Appreciated the tough love assessment at the first appointment: honest, direct approach. Use of data in making the assessment was informative . Challenging exercises demonstrated & then observation of your attempts.Repattern brain to new ways of being challenging while needed. Fired up, ready to go!
Kim is incredibly educated on hypermobility and I have never felt more understood/ more able to understand what has been going on in my body over the last few years. She is very thorough and explained things in ways that a non-medical person could understand and integrate. She explained each measurement she did and what the numbers meant in terms of my function. I highly recommend Kim if you suspect any form of hypermobility, EDS or otherwise.
The way she explains the reasons behind the exercises is engaging and supportive. She meets patients where they are at and uses clear goals and feedback. She also shows patients that they are already uniquely strong, which provides a foundation for improvement in the long term.
Kim B is incredibly knowledgeable, she explained the causes of my back pain in a way that made sense, and designed a treatment exercise plan that’s not too tough, but challenging enough to help me strengthen. Her assistant is also amazing, gentle and explains everything clearly!
I found Kim to be an excellent communicator. She explained everything very well & showed me how to do the excercises. The foolow up you tubes are a god send

The first time I saw Kim, she knew exactly how to treat me, and I started seeing solid gains even though I was given far less exercises than other PTs gave me, as Kim's were targeted to my holistic well being and ability.

Amazing
Could not be more pleased. Kim and assistants know what someone with Parkinson's needs to work on. Very kind and supportive.
Kim is knowledgeable, compassionate and caring! She was able to see what I was dealing with better than any of the orthopedics or spine drs I have been dealing with for years! I will never use another Whatcom PT cause my experience with her has been so superior!

The PT girls are friendly and encouraging. They respond to exercises that are difficult or painful by adjusting them to your ability.
Supportive, knowledgeable, patient.
I went to Kim after I tore my ACL. She helped me understand how I've learned to use my body throughout my life, my areas of weakness, and how my injury fits into all of this. We worked on building symmetry, strong and balanced body movement, and recovery. I'm so thankful for Kim and how her expertise and excercises have improved my life and recovery!
During my new patient appointment she really listened to me and validated my pain. She made a treatment plan while other providers refused to see me. Im really glad I decided to make an appointment with her.
All of the girls are Very pleasant. They respond to questions and make adjustments to exercises that cause to much pain.
Kim is an incredible wealth of knowledge and provides a comfortable and trust worthy environment!
Very knowledgeable, friendly and patient.
I love seeing Kim because no matter what my issue, she can identify the root and guide me through exercises that make me feel better. I value her expertise so much that I pay out of pocket to see her rather than see someone just because they accept my insurance. With her deep knowledge of the body and careful listening and observation, she always provides hope that pain can be eased. In addition, she is very punctual.
Kimberly creates a therapeutic atmosphere, using new age background music and essential oil aromas that are a nice touch. Her thorough knowledge of muscle, nerve, tendon and other anatomy are explained clearly. In just a few minutes my range of motion improved by 30% in what had been a tender shoulder. Highly recommend/
Knowledgeable and direct communication. Very effective methodologies for patient to practice between visits. Marked improvement over past two months. Best of the four therapists with differing styles I have seen over the years. First time I understood what’s really going on with my sports injuries. Hopeful for a full recovery 🐺
I left my first appointment feeling elated to have found a PT who is incredibly knowledgeable, who understands my body mechanics better than any provider I’ve ever seen, and who gave me information and guidance that left me feeling validated and empowered. I look forward to continue working with Kim and her team!
Kim Burns is the best! She knows my body better than I do and is patiently helping me to get to know it too and start feeling better. Thank you!!!
Kim was incredibly thorough during our first data collecting session, connecting dots all the way back to my youth to paint a clear picture of my physical landscape. She astutely identified habits in my daily life that I can immediately improve upon to help realign my body to its best state. While this review is based on just the first appointment, I have all the confidence that her insight will be invaluable moving forward. Thanks Kim!
Excellent care from Kim Burns. She was able to diagnose a lifelong issue and develop a PT treatment plan immediately. I highly recommend her work. The exercises she provided are explained thoroughly and are easy to follow. Be sure to fill out the forms online before your appointment. If you are unable to due to technical issues, call her office. It took much of our needed time for me to fill them out there before her initial consultation. I am so looking forward to seeing her for my follow up.
Helped me get walking again
Kim is absolutely amazing! She really listens to your concerns about your body (even if you’re a rambler like me) and approaches your healing with genuine care and concern. I appreciated how her practice is completely judgement free, and went at my pace with my pain. I felt like Kim was one of the only healthcare professionals that really took my pain seriously being a plus-size person, and didn’t just write me off. My mobility coming back is largely thanks to her :) Thank you so much Kim!
Was very kind, and explained things very well.
My first appointment with Kimberly went amazing. she found my problem within an instant and gave me relief of my pressure and gave great advice and at home exercises.
Kim was informative and thorough with what exactly would work for me. She listens and is compassionate.
Great work.
