Highline Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation

"Nina is the absolute best!! Just moved to California and need physical therapy for recent bunion surgery. She is hands down the best!! She is meticulous, knowledgeable and has helped my foot tremendously. Since it was out of network I was worried about insurance covering but she helped me through the process and I was reimbursed almost all of it. I love going here and always leave feeling better!!"

"I came to highline based on a referral from my cousin, who had such a great experience with Nina. I wanted help addressing some lower back issues, minimize pain during pregnancy and prep me to successfully deliver our first child, but honestly I was having a hard time finding someone in the area that had what I was looking for. I started with Nina at about four month pregnant, and it was one of the best decisions I made during pregnancy. She spends the full hour with you (not coming in for a quick ten minutes and leaving you with a student the rest of the time like other places!), specifically addressing your needs through stretches, massage/muscle manipulation and targeted strength training exercises. She listens deeply and makes a plan based on where you are. Now at nine months pregnant, I have more mobility than I ever expected, very minimal back pain and none of the random aches and pains that I was promised in all the baby books. If you’re looking for someone that is experienced in women’s PT and will make your pregnancy and recovery journey smoother, genuinely give highline a try. You’ll be happy you did :)"

"Dr. Nina Wheeler was recommended to me by a prominent Orthopedic Surgeon for physical therapy with the goal to avoid major surgery and strengthen a torn rotator cuff. Nina has excellent technical knowledge, communicates well, and has been expert in her approach which has significantly improved my condition and avoided surgery. Nina’s approach is tailored directly to her patients condition."

"I have had lifelong issues with my hips and back (I’m in my late 30s, so it’s definitely not the normal degeneration). I have some mild scoliosis which has prevented me from doing SO many things I have wanted to do and I started to really give up on my body ever working the way I wanted it to. I have seen other physical therapists but they have always seemed to give the same few exercises and didn’t seem to really listen to my needs. Nina is the exact opposite of that. I felt heard and understood from the first visit. She took time to speak with me about what challenges I have had, and also what my goals are. Everything she does is meaningful and purposeful-you can really understand why you’re doing the exercises and what they are doing to help with your issue. Also, she’s incredibly friendly and smart, taking the time to explain what’s happening inside your body. Most importantly, she’s fostering a real growth mindset in terms of what I can and cannot do. I’m able to see setbacks as part of the healing process and have had significant improvements in my mobility and pain levels. I’m able to run without pain in my hips and knees for the first time ever, I’m waking up for the first time without back pain, and I’m so grateful for Nina and her holistic approach to physical therapy."

"After herniating a disc in my lower back, I started coming to Highline PT for pain management. Nina not only helped expedite pain relief, she gave me a sense of confidence by providing valuable information about my body and the healing process. She is so knowledgeable about human anatomy, as well as the importance of mental and emotional recovery. I could feel immediate improvement in my pain level after every appointment. Now that I am quickly recovering from pain, Nina is helping to rebuild my strength, overseeing my workouts, and teaching me skills that I can safely do from home. The facilities are well equipped, and you can’t beat the beachy location! If you’re looking for healthy recovery, while learning about your body, with one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, book an appointment with Nina at Highline PT!"
