Active Seattle Chiropractic and Sports Therapy

I can’t recommend this place enough!
I was suffering from a shoulder injury from overuse for 6 more than months and no matter how much I rested it or how many anti-​inflammatory meds I took, it just never got better. After seeing Dr. Maia just 2 – 3 times it felt about 75% better and after several follow up sessions it’s almost completely back to normal. I’m sure it would have gotten better even faster but I never did any of the exercises that Dr Maia said I should.
The location is good and there’s plenty of free street parking right near the office, though you may need to drive around for a few minutes during busy times.

Forget everything you ever experienced with bone cracking chiropractics. Natasha does her «magic» with a totally different method that gets results the first visit. She has helped me with recent pain, and scar tissue that was creating pain for a long time.
Natasha knows what she is doing and doesn’t set up the first typical chiropractic appointment. In my experience others have told me I need x-​rays, and a series of appointments that I was sure the practitioner was counting on to pay off his kids braces, or a down payment on a boat.
Natasha has a warm caring demeanor that also makes the appointment a nice experience.

This place is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I saw Dr Maia after having some problems with my back that no other chiropractor was able to help with. She’s so knowledgable and soooo sweet. (Apparently she was also the valedictorian of her school… no surprise there!)
After just two adjustments I can say that I feel amazing! The pain is totally gone. I would highly recommend this place, and Dr Maia to anyone!!!

Without question the best chiropractor I’ve been to (and I’ve seen more than a handful). She really knows how to get you healed up quickly and what areas need focus etc.

Natasha is awesome.
I’ve been going to her for Graston work to help heal by elbow which became sore from overuse/​bad form while bouldering, and hadn’t been getting better. I’d never tried Graston before, but it’s been very helpful in opening up the tissues, easing the stickiness/​restricted motion, and helping restore better form.
Natasha gets to the root of the problem in no time, and is very easy and fun to work with.

I refer all my clients to this amazing women! Being a personal trainer it is so important that my clients are able to continue working out to get the results they are seeking. Everyone has a nagging shoulder, back, knee, problems or whatever it may be from past activities and just living life! She restores their mobility and sends them back to me pain free allowing me to get all my clients stronger, fitter, and healthier! She is a rock star!

Natasha is amazing at what she does — her cutting edge techniques like Graston and ART (Active Release Technique) have helped with numerous (minor) injuries. I’ve been cursed with bad knees, a bad left shoulder and left hip — when they flare up I visit Natasha and since seeing her for a series of appointments I have felt the best EVER! I can go to Crossfit 5 times a week and recover quickly. Now I visit Natasha only if I tweak something ~ every 2 months. I highly recommend Natasha to anyone with a sports injury — her methods help speed recovery as well.

I injured my foot during a run, and was debating where to go for this type of injury. I’ve been to a good amount of chiropractors, and I chose Active Seattle on a whim… Glad I did! Natasha is great, and here’s why:
— Natasha’s first priority is healing. My initial visit included treatment, and there was immediate relief.
— She is a runner herself, knowledgeable, active, and interested in sports therapy. (I had a chiropractor once who was obese… just sayin) We were on the same page, and I felt like I was in good hands.
— The goal is to get me back running and free of injury. This is so appreciated :)
I will be back, but also not on the books forever :)

I’ve been seeing Natasha for 3+ years now. I had whiplash a couple times and nagging pain for years. Once I began CrossFit, I really couldn’t handle the pain anymore, so I went to see Natasha. I was pretty cynical after not having results from previous chiropractors, but she has the magic touch. Now, not only am I pain-​free, but with her treatments, I felt immediate relief.
I like the fact that she not only does chiro, but active release, and grastin. She actually spends 20 – 30 minutes with you every visit and doesn’t require you to come in 50 times a week.
I see her now when I ‘tweak’ anything, and every time I have immediate results. She is the BEST!

Natasha is my favorite chiropractor in Seattle, over the last two years she has help me recover from a broken ankle and helped me manage a chronic low back pain condition. She is a talented chiropractor, always friendly with a great sense of humor. I am an acupuncturist and I often refer my clients to her for treatment and wholeheartedly recommend her work!

A great experience all around, definitely takes the time to see what the issues are then makes sure you are getting results from the treatments. Not to mention will change approaches during your appointment if not getting the desired results. Fantastic personality and a pleasure to work with on the road to recovery. Highly recommended!

Natasha helped me sort out some back pain I was having as a result of my twin pregnancy. She takes the time to talk to you and work through the problem with you as opposed to some doctors/​chiropractors who rush through your appointment in an attempt to squeeze in as many patients as possible. It is also worth noting that I had to bring my 3 children in with me several times and Natasha was always very supportive and great with the kids. We were always made to feel welcome. Natasha is very attentive, caring, and professional. Needless to say, the services I received were successful in alleviating my back pain. I have been to several other chiropractors but Natasha is definitely the best that I’ve seen. I highly recommend her!

Being a healthcare professional myself, we definitely scrutinize the services and professionalism of other healthcare providers. So I have to say that I was more than pleased with the services and care I received from Natasha!
I was initially referred to Natasha by my massage therapist for a shoulder injury and was educated on a new therapy she was providing (ART– active release therapy) to break up scar tissue and allow the body to dispose of it. In addition, I had hip surgery about a year ago which she also has worked on. I was extremely excited to try a more naturopathic, natural approach and when I met Natasha, I instantly felt comfortable. Not only does she demonstrate extreme professionalism, but she is also knowledgeable in her field. She has wonderful bedside manner and will take the time to discuss any concerns you have and give you the proper treatments without rushing you out. If something still isn’t feeling right, she’ll continue to work on you until it’s corrected.
I started seeing Natasha in October 2010 and continue to see her on a monthly basis. Luckily, my insurance covers my visits but Natasha is more than willing to try and adjust billing to provide you care rather than turn you away because your insurance doesn’t cover something or you can’t afford it. I truly appreciate all that she’s done and I continue to receive treatment and care to the fullest!
I hope if people are looking for a great chiropracter who offers other services, Natasha is definitely one to see!

This is by far the best chiropractic and sports therapy I’ve ever had! Gets right to the point in a lighthearted atmosphere!

Natasha is awesome!

I was recommended Natasha by a co-​worker after a bike spill really did a bang up job to my knees. My regular doctor didn’t give me much to work with: «you tore cartilage – don’t do any intense exercise for 6 – 8 weeks.» I felt like I needed more than that to get me back into the shape I like to be in for hiking, climbing and cycling. My knees looked and felt awful – bruised, swollen, and painful.
I didn’t know what to expect out of Natasha, but I can’t help but say I was pleasantly surprised at how knowledgeable she was about the time it would take to heal, the active release technique she used up and down my legs, and her wonderfully pleasant and often times hilarious spirit. She is a joy to be around, which makes the sometimes painful but well worth it therapy that much more worth it. It was amazing to feel the difference – and see it as my bruises disappeared! – after just one week. I went back about five or six times after that, and she was always punctual each time – a rarity these days, it seems.
I learned from her that I would still feel some pain 6 – 9 months after the accident, and that icing + a dandelion-​based rub + wrapping it were some of the best methods to take care of it in my off time. Totally empowered.
She was even great about checking with my insurance to make sure everything would be covered, and being up front about potential costs. I’m lucky that my insurance covered it all, but definitely check with yours first too.
Highly, highly recommended for any type of sports injury!
