Longtime island physical therapist and yoga instructor Andra DeVoght has moved her practice to the Recess Lab, the new exercise studio downtown.

DeVoght has practiced on Vashon for 12 years, including six years at the Vashon Women’s Health Center, which closed last summer. DeVoght opened her new office last month and now sees men, women and children for a variety of concerns. There, she also teaches yoga classes, open to both her patients and members of the public.

The owners of the Recess Lab, Kelly Macomber Straight and Zabette Macomber, invited her to join them a year ago when they purchased the building, DeVoght said.

“This was a really great opportunity to integrate yoga and physical therapy under one roof. There was no way I could say no to that,” she added.

While DeVoght — soon to be joined by physical therapy assistant Adria Cannon  — is a general practitioner, she specializes in physical therapy for women, treating a range of issues related to pregnancy, the post-partum period and problems associated with the pelvic floor.

DeVoght, whose practice is busy,  says she also sees a large number of adolescents, in part because of sports injuries, which often occur because of an underlying imbalance.

“I am not treating the sports injuries,” she said. “I am treating the person.”

She added that she also tends to the emotional needs of her patients through stress management tips, breathing exercises, mindfulness education and meditation.

Additionally, DeVoght  holds a master’s degree in public health, which further informs her work.

“I put everything into context,” she said, “people’s childhood experiences, their resources, if they are safe in their lives … and what they need from me and want to accomplish in physical therapy.”
