Vision and Patient Care
My practice involves partnering with and empowering my patients to address their specific needs. This means meeting a person where s/he is and using education to help them gain deep understanding of their condition and goals. A typical course of care progresses from skilled manual therapy to address specific pain and/or movement limitations and then moves onto exercise-based activities for full recovery. Shannon sees each patient as a unique whole. This involves using part specific as well as global biomechanical evaluation and treatment skills. Throughout the course of care, a patient will have a home program tailored to that phase of recovery. The long-term goal is to have the skills needed for independent management and for prevention of re-injury or re-occurrence.
Education and Experience
Shannon earned her B.A. in Biology from Dartmouth College in 1991 and her B.S. in Physical Therapy from the University of Washington in 1995. She is a skilled manual therapist specializing in outpatient orthopedics, treating patients ranging from mountain athletes and dancers to those with persistent autoimmune and neurological conditions. She has lived in Leavenworth for 25 years and has established a thriving referred-to-by-name practice there over the past decades. She is now moving her practice to Mission Peak for their emphasis on specialized and quality care, provided directly by Physical Therapists over longer than average treatment sessions.
Upon joining Mission Peak PT, Shannon will expand her practice to include pelvic health. She is one step away from achieving her American Physical Therapy Association’s CAPP Certification in Pelvic Health. To earn the CAPP, therapists must complete a series of courses, pass written and clinical exams, and submit a written case report. She anticipates completion by the end of January 2025.
Shannon and her husband adored raising their two adult children. She also enjoys hiking and skate skiing, and when time allows, creating wheel thrown pieces for her side pottery business.

Petra has called Wenatchee home since returning in 2011 with her husband and 4 children. She moved to Wenatchee initially in 1999 for her senior year of high school at Eastmont and returned years later as she loved being close to family, the community, and abundant outdoor recreation. You can find her skiing Mission Ridge during the winter weekends, cycling the loop trail, or driving loops around town to various sport fields for her children’s many events.
Vision and Patient care
Petra’s vision for clinical care is founded in the empowerment of her patients. She believes that successful outcomes in injury recovery, health and wellness come from within the patient’s knowledge and understanding of their injury and implementation of a plan of care that is tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. Petra is very much a hands on provider. With her training in manual physical therapy she emphasizes restoring healthy joint mechanics, normalization of neurodynamics, as well as neural and pain sensitization often found in chronic pain patterns and spinal injuries. She implements customized STEP (Scientific Therapeutic Exercise Progression) programs for tissue specific healing and recovery in her treatment plan. Petra focuses on devising programs that are practical and functional for her patients that can be incorporated into their daily lives.
She enjoys treating a diverse population and diagnoses. Her special interests are spinal injuries, cervical headache and TMJ dysfunction, and evaluation/treatment of dynamic upper and lower extremity injuries.
Petra personally incorporates Pilates into her daily routine and has a strong passion for the positive influence it has on her wellbeing. She sees immense value in its application to rehabilitative medicine and wellness and is working on developing these skills further.
Education and Experience
Petra graduated with her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Washington in 2008. She went on to pursue residency and fellowship training in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy through the Ola Grimsby Institute becoming a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists in 2011. She has received over 750 clinical mentoring hours in manual and manipulative therapy, and STEP progression/prescription. Petra is credentialed in spinal manipulative therapy.
