Dr. Tim Sobie, PT, Ph.D.

Clinical Director, Physical Therapist
Principal Investigator in Clinical Research
Guild Certified Feldenkrais 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. 
  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.

Maria Bokor MPT, CST

Physical Therapist
Craniosacral Therapist

Maria Bokor, MPT, offers gentle treatment sessions using varied osteopathic-based techniques and movement training drawn from Qigong, Iyengar yoga, and Gordon Browne's Feldenkrais-based courses. Maria offers therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, concussion recovery, vertigo, chronic pain, and most other conditions that respond to physical therapy treatment.


Craniosacral therapy uses light touch to the head and other parts of the body to stimulate greater fluid flow and to help muscles rebalance. It can be very effective with headache pain,chronic neck pain, and sacral imbalances. For clients interested in exploring somatic issues, this approach often helps to release traumatic tissue memory, such as after an MVA or other accident.


Visceral work includes techniques to promote more healthy functioning of the vagus nerve and the various sphincters of the digestive system, as well as to help alleviate areas of scar tissue that often develop after abdominal surgery or injury. Often, this work allows relief of back pain, neck pain, pelvic pain or hip stiffness by promoting improved blood flow and movement of the internal organs.


Neural manual therapy addresses the health of the peripheral nerves by using techniques that break up areas of swelling, and thus allowing better blood flow through the nerve and increased signal to the hands or feet. Often, both range of motion and strength are improved immediately after treatment. This technique can address tendonitis, overuse, post-surgical stiffness, and pain.


Maria’s training includes multiple courses through the Upledger Institute, the Barral Institute, Vita-Vis, and the Hugh Milne Institute, as well as qigong training with Professor Hui-xian Chen and Gordon Brown's movement certification course.


Maria first met Tim Sobie at a yoga class while she was completing her physical therapy degree at the University of Puget Sound. Tim invited her to collaborate with him on a TMJ study about the efficacy of the Feldenkrais technique, which she used for her master’s thesis. She also later completed Gordon Browne’s two-year certification in Feldenkrais-based movement techniques. Currently, she provides a blended treatment approach at the Tacoma main office of Alliant that integrates craniosacral, visceral, neural manual glides, yoga and Qigong, as well as Gordon Browne movement.
