– Dr. Drew Thompson, DPT | Founder of Penultimate Step Sports Rehab
At Penultimate Step Sports Rehab, we help athletes and active adults in Maple Valley recover from injury, rebuild strength, and return to full performance — not just baseline. Founded by Dr. Drew Thompson, DPT, a former Team USA Taekwondo competitor who experienced his own career-threatening injury, the clinic was built to deliver the performance-focused care that conventional rehab so often misses. Every session is one-on-one with a licensed DPT, every plan is built around your body and your sport, and every return-to-training decision is backed by objective testing.
We treat the full range of conditions that sideline active people in Maple Valley and the surrounding area, including low back pain and sciatica, shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries, ACL injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation, hip pain and hip impingement, and overuse injuries and tendinopathies across every joint. We also specialize in BPPV and vertigo physical therapy using canalith repositioning, provide pelvic floor physical therapy for men and women at every life stage, and deliver running physical therapy in Maple Valley, WA backed by gait analysis and objective return-to-sport testing before we clear you to train again.
Every plan includes hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, IASTM, cupping, blood flow restriction training, and a custom exercise app with video programming to keep progress moving between sessions. We accept most major insurance plans including Premera, Regence, Tricare, Kaiser, and BCBS.
