Timothy J. Sobie, PT, Ph.D.
Clinical Director, Physical Therapist in Private Practice
Guild Certified Feldenkrais Method® Practitioner (CM)
Having helped thousands of persons with complex pain syndromes, debilitating mobility problems, or everyday discomforts, Dr. Tim Sobie, Ph.D. is the founder and clinical director of Alliant Continuum Care, Physical Therapy and Integral Medicine, PLLC. Tim has over 30 years’ experience as a physical therapist and over 20 years’ experience as a Feldenkrais Method® practitioner with 5+ years as a clinical applications principal investigator and scientific researcher.
Arising from his successful RCT Clinical Research Dissertation Study becoming completed in 2016, the advent of ‘Virtual Reality Bones / Multi-Modal Approach’ (VRB3) has most recently evolved as a highly practical and doable clinical applications workshop for readily implementing a proven system of integration for helping a variety of patients commonly presenting with chronic persistent musculoskeletal pain with movement dysfunction – especially low back pain.
A native of Michigan, he earned his physical therapy degree from the OUHSC Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, subsequently traveling to small and mid-sized cities nationwide to direct various hospital-based physical therapy departments—including the Champus partnership at Madigan Army Medical Center.
Selecting the Pacific Northwest as the place to settle, he completed the Oregon Feldenkrais Method® Professional Training Program through the Movement Studies Institute of Berkeley, California, and earned a Masters of Science degree in Behavioral Medicine from the Behavioral Physiology Institutes of Bainbridge Island while co-attending Whole Systems Design studies through Antioch University, Seattle. In addition, Tim has completed interdisciplinary mind-body medicine and bodywork training through the Center for Mind Body Medicine in Washington D.C., and has most recently completed his clinical research dissertation at Saybrook University to earn a Ph.D. degree in Psychology with a sub-specialization in Psycho-physiology for the study of neurologically mediated and brain-based chronic pain mechanisms-and for developing innovative applications in their novel treatment.
Tim is a licensed and preferred provider for most major health insurance plans under the classification Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. He also works with acute trauma, injuries, or accidents. His expansive scope of practice draws from multiple areas and fields with proven track records, and is thereby quite likely to make a more definitive and sustainable difference in the quality and expression of your own or another person’s individual situation – however it has been previously treated or classified, or whatever it may be.
