Holistic treatment to address the underlying causes of pain, returning you to an active life
At Quantum Leap Physical Therapy, my focus is on you as an individual and your therapy is personalized to address the underlying causes of your pain and dysfunction.
Your care is provided by myself, Heather McWilliams, PT, DPT, MS. I have a doctorate in physical therapy, over 30 years of experience, and expert myofascial skills.
At Quantum Leap Physical Therapy, you are treated as a whole person, not just as a body part. You can experience healing on a deeper level with the understanding of how interconnected your body and systems are.
The clinic environment is quiet and private. The relaxed atmosphere is ideal for healing.
The sessions are unrushed and we have time to get to know you and help plan a path forward towards healing and vitality.
Helping my clients is my greatest joy and passion!
Gina, Bremerton WA
" Heather was a miracle worker for me! I have gone from unable to walk or sleep with shooting pain to fully recovered in 4 weeks. After the first visit, I was able to walk without pins and needles! The pelvic and abdominal work were so effective! I can even run again! I am so grateful for her desire to continue her education as she also helped me with a sudden vertigo attack and other types of dizziness. She is amazing!"
Jennifer, Poulsbo WA
"I can wholeheartedly recommend Heather McWilliams, PT. She is an excellent therapist with an extensive background helping people with jaw pain, including mine!
Mary, Bainbridge Island WA
"I started seeing Heather as part of recovery from an extensive spinal surgery. She has helped me with a number of recovery issues, the most important being reeducation of my posture and increased flexibility.
I am especially pleased to have found Heather. I absolutely trust her judgment and recommendations. I respect how she notices what is unique about my situation.
In addition to issues with my back, she helped me prepare my jaw for dental work, and has suggested reading on breath work that I have found valuable."

What to expect
We will take time together to review your history and symptoms. This will give us a good idea of what your strengths and challenges are so we can work together to create an individualized plan for you.
~~~~~~~~~~
Postural screening and movement awareness are important areas that we will look at during your first visit. This is very important to determine how tightness, weakness, and habits may be affecting your posture. It also helps us track your progress!
Fascial restrictions are also assessed at your first visit.
~~~~~~~~~~
Fascial restrictions respond very well to manual therapy when loaded or tensioned with the optimal amount of force to engage the tissue and create communication between the brain and body.
~~~~~~~~~~
This requires therapist skill and finesse for assessment and treatment to facilitate the mind-body connection.
~~~~~~~~~~
I use multiple techniques to address the fascial system and these include myofascial release, visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy and joint mobilization.
~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing multiple manual interventions gives me the skills to provide optimal treatments for my clients.
Screening of your breathing will help us determine if you can benefit from breathing exercises. I am a certified Buteyko Re-educator and also trained with Rosabla Courtney as well as use Postural Restoration techniques
~~~~~~~~~~
I use a comprehensive, holistic approach so we can figure out what the underlying causes of your symptoms are... find those puzzle pieces and put them together in a way that makes sense. This will empower you to feel better and get back to
living your best life!
