Integrative Physical Therapy Services Manual Physical Therapy for sports injuries, back and neck pain, and work related injuries. Welcome to Integrative Physical Therapy Services!

Founded in 2004 by Ed and Elizabeth Deboo, PT’s, Integrative Physical Therapy Services is Bellingham & Whatcom County’s choice for Structural Osteopathic Manual Therapy. We specialize in the treatment of both the pediatric and adult population. Manual Therapy is a specialized form of “hands on” physical therapy where the fascia (connective tissue), muscles, and joints are gently palpated and manipulated to decrease pain and restore normal movement. Impaired joint movement may be a result of muscle spasm, abnormal muscle tension (guarding), joint restrictions, poor movement patterns, or muscle weakness.

1 in 4 older adults reports falling every year.

That’s more than 14 million people—and falls are the leading cause of injury among adults age 65 and older, according to the CDC.

Don’t wait for a fall or near-fall to start paying attention to your balance.

Our FREE 3-Minute Balance Test gives you a simple way to check where you stand today.

In just three minutes, you’ll:

âś“ Complete 3 simple at-home balance checks
âś“ Discover which check is most difficult for you
âś“ Establish a baseline you can track over time
âś“ Learn what to work on next

No special equipment is required. The guide was created by two physical therapists with more than 60 years of combined experience.

Falls are common—but they are not an inevitable part of aging. Take three minutes today and give yourself a reason to take action now.

Are you strong enough to stay independent as you get older?
Most people don’t really know.
You may be walking every day and staying active, but that doesn’t necessarily tell you whether you have the leg strength, upper-body strength, and balance you need for everyday tasks like getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or staying steady on uneven ground.
That’s why Elizabeth and I created a free Personal Strength Scorecard for older adults.
In less than 10 minutes, you’ll complete 3 simple at-home tests using nothing more than a chair, a wall, and a timer.
You’ll learn where you’re starting today, get useful reference points to help you understand your results, and have a simple way to retest yourself again in 4 weeks.
This isn’t about passing or failing. It’s about knowing where you are now so you know what to work on next.
We’ll also send you a short 3-email starter series to help you understand your scores and begin improving your strength and balance.

Hello everyone!

After spending the last 7 months in Palm Desert, CA working for the winter, we are both back in town, seeing patients through the end of August. If you would like to schedule a visit, please see our website link in the comments.

My latest YouTube video is about the BEST time to start working on balance exercises. This video explores the importance of integrating balance exercises into your routine, helping to preserve your independence and improve the health of the elderly before problems arise. Maintaining good balance is crucial, especially as we age. Please let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy!
