Physical Therapy
Nola utilizes advanced manual therapy techniques and neuro re-education to investigate, decipher, and treat your ailments. With these non-traditional physical therapy approaches, treatments are highly effective and can bring about life-changing results.
Lymphatic Drainage and Edema Management
Nola is a certified lymphedema management specialist, having trained in the field in 2001. She utilizes a variety of techniques to help reduce edema issues, including manual lymphatic drainage, gentle myofascial releases, and a progressive exercise program. With her expertise and experience, Nola is committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome.
Dance and Yoga Specific Treatment
Your body is a marvel of intricacy, with bones that may be unique in shape and joints that may have their own quirks. Whether your feet tend to over-pronate or over-supinate, or your knees have a tendency towards valgus or varus alignment, it's important to understand and work with these natural variations. Rather than viewing certain movements as inherently "good" or "bad," consider them opportunities to learn and grow. Rehabilitation training should not be a one-size-fits-all approach but rather a personalized journey towards a pain-free, confident way of moving. With the right guidance, you can trust that your body is capable and resilient, ready to take on whatever challenges come your way.
Bio
Nola Petrucelly, PT/LMT
Licensed in Physical Therapy in 1999, Nola’s 25-year career in healthcare has focused on treatment of patients with chronic pain, treatment of the performance artist, assisting patients with chronic edema and lymphedema, as well performing somatic bodywork on horses and dogs. Nola utilizes a holistic approach taking lifestyle into account when assessing functional movements to address myofascial compensation patterns. Nola has a strong manual therapy background, and she employs hands-on techniques to create permanent changes in her clients. Her goal is to empower her clients to achieve a pinnacle level of functioning that they can maintain throughout their lifetime.
Nola enjoys spending time with her 17- year daughter and her two dogs. Her hobbies include extensive hours in hot yoga and inferno hot Pilates classes each week. Nola completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in April 2022.
Prior to her journey into healthcare and bodywork, Nola was heavily involved in dance. Beginning at age 4, she studied ballet, lyrical, tap, and jazz. She competed locally and traveled overseas multiple times for dance exhibitions and competitions. In addition, Nola completed her Royal Academy of Dance syllabus exams by age 17. Dancing 20-25 hours each week, Nola experienced chronic knee pain and sought treatment from a specialized dance physical therapist while in high school. This sparked her interest in the field of physical therapy. She attended the University of Washington and received her bachelor's of Physical Therapy in 1999. After graduating, Nola worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings for the next 4 years gaining extensive knowledge in lymphatic management techniques. To further her manual skills, she attended the Guild for Structural Integration in 2003 and began utilizing the Rolf Method of Structural Integration (ROLFING) to assist her patients with structural issues and myofascial compensation patterns. She opened Turning Pointe Physical Therapy, Inc. in 2003 and over the next 18 years, she was able to employ multiple physical and occupational therapists of varying disciplines. In 2010, Nola enrolled in the equine somatic program with the Equine Natural Movement School in Battleground, WA. She received her certification in equine and canine somatic bodywork in November of 2010. In 2018, Nola attended massage school at Therapeutic Connections School of Massage in Spokane, WA and received her massage therapy license.
Nola closed her group practice at the end of 2021 and opened Be Inspired Wellness, LLC to concentrate on individual patient care. She has most recently started work with the Theater Dance Department at Gonzaga University. Nola continues to pursue trainings in performance art physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Testimonials
- Nola is THE Best Physical Therapist, and long-standing member of my integrated, allopathic and holistic, health team. She’s highly intelligent, and she has a sixth sense regarding manual body work. Her insights and experience, plus meticulous note keeping (clinic notes), have been a God send, for detailed medical records, for insurance companies and other complicated aspects of dealing with serious physical traumas and injuries, all of which comprises, overwhelming paperwork for the patients, when patients are needing to focus on healing. Lastly, Nola places her Hippocratic Oath above profits, and will prefer to provide helpful direction to her patients, even if it doesn’t contribute to her business bottom line. This genuine goodwill towards her patients, is worth more than gold these days, when, as a society, we have seen far too many providers for profits, rather than those such as Nola, who are providers, first, for their patients, not for profits.

- I first saw Nola about 16 or 17 years ago. At that time, the pain in my lower back from a pinched nerve was just chronic and wearing me down mentally and physically. I did one 10-session with Nola and it is rare now for that pinched nerve to cause me issues. The second reason I visited Nola was a bit of time later for an illio-tibial band. I was a trail runner. I was suffering from excruciating pain in my illio-tibial band - so much it kept me up at night. It was very painful. That, too, has abated and thru diligent stretching exercises, I have kept that pain at bay, as well. I highly recommend Nola for body work. Even now, I will visit Nola for a "tune up". After all, I am in my mid-60s and things just go awry, especially if you are still active as I am. - D. O.
- I have been seeing Nola for a leg injury that affects my entire body. She has helped my leg and entire alignment tremendously. I cannot say enough great things a/out Nola - J. R.
- I have had Nola as my PT for many years. She is highly skilled in working with chronic conditions. I can't see working with anyone else. -D. G.
- I initially was referred to Nola for lymphedema treatment as she has trained for this specific diagnosis. I have found throughout the years I have been seeing her to be very knowledgeable not only in the lymphedema area but all areas chronic to the body. She has provided certain exercises pertaining to all of my problems which have been very successful to me. She is my "go to physical therapist". -J.K.
- The amount of pain I had before I started doing Physical Therapy was unbearable. My sciatica pain was very intense that sitting and driving for over an hour would cause me so much pain. I have been going to this place for over a year and I am getting better! Thank you, Nola, you are the best! -M.Y.
- Amazing service and high-quality care! Unlike any physical therapy I’ve had. Nola works to help you understand what your body is doing and why, as well as, suggestions for home care to help the healing process. Totally worth the wait and I can see why she is SO busy and sought after! Ah-ma-zing! -H.W.
- Nola is very professional and finds the perfect solution to what is challenging me at the time. -J.R.
- I’ve had a lot of injuries over my years, as I was a collegiate athlete playing football for WSU I can honestly say, I wish I knew Nola when I first started playing ball. Best PT I’ve come across, really understands and knows the body and quickly got me healed up. Thank you, Nola! -S.J.
- Nola is a fantastic physical therapist & Rolf Practitioner. I have seen her for injuries and for general health and wellness and each appointment I am met with professionalism, a great experience, and I leave feeling much better than I did coming in and can move my body with better mobility. Nola is highly knowledgeable about the human anatomy and is a gifted healer! I love working with her. -J.K.
- Before coming to see Nola 10 years ago, I was experiencing daily mild headaches and nerve pain. I would go home each day and take ibuprofen and lay down for 15 minutes to help subdue the discomfort. Since coming to Nola on a regular basis for 2 years and then maintenance appointments, I no longer experience daily headaches and the nerve pain. She listened to my concerns and targeted each area of concern and also any other pains that might cause reoccurring issues. My husband was also seeing Nola for his diagnosis of frozen shoulder and had great results. My daughter also sees Nola for a hip issue on a maintenance basis. I have recommended many friends and co-workers, and I have received positive feedback from all of them. What a blessing it has been that I found Nola. Forever grateful. -T.B.
- My niece Khloe had been having on-again, off-again pain in her feet, ankles and legs from dancing and we were referred to Nola from another dancer. Nola has been amazing at not only helping relieve any of Khloe’s pains but has also helped her understand the cause of them and given her tools to avoid injury in the future! We are so grateful to have found Nola and are thankful to be able to see her on a regular basis. We don’t know what we would do without her! -M.S.
- Nola was referred to me by my primary care doctor to help with ongoing pain and swelling from a year-old injury. In just a few visits, I was seeing great results and feeling less pain. In the last few months of treatment with Nola, she has been able to mitigate almost all of the pain and swelling! My amazing results and better quality of life are because of her knowledge of anatomy and true passion for helping me resolve the symptoms from my injury. I will definitely be keeping Nola in my "tool belt" of most valued medical professionals. -S.C.
- I met Nola at Yoga and quickly knew there was something special about her. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she was a body worker, not to mention a somatic massage therapist. A few years later I Injured my left abductor in a different modality. I knew I had to see her to assist in my healing. I saw her once a week for approximately 7 weeks. I felt relief with my second session. I am still recovering with new insights. The only thing I would change is more time with her and full body sessions!! Nola is very talented with a plethora of knowledge and skills. I highly recommend her!! -R.B.
