Dr. Jon Younger
PT, DPT, FAAOMPT, (He/him) | Mill Creek - Gateway
"“I enjoy collaborating with my patients and care team dynamically in order to improve quality of care and quality of life so that people can enjoy their life's adventures as unencumbered as possible.”"
Jon enjoys treating patients of all backgrounds, returning them to hobbies and sports of all kinds. Utilizing physical therapy, he aims to empower patients to improve their physical ability to participate in all that life has to offer. His background in manual therapy allows him to enable patients to participate in their care and exercise programs with greater success and less pain/dysfunction. Jon actively participates in the PT community by mentoring manual therapy residency and fellowship students in addition to his prior experience mentoring for UW's orthopedic residency program. He enjoys treating runners and has managed one of the few gait laboratories in the greater Seattle area for more than five years. When not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with family, traveling, learning about other cultures, sports of all kinds, and challenging his body in new/creative ways.
