Laura Nakata Vannucci MPT: I am a Pullman native and a graduate of Washington State University. I attended graduate school at Northern Arizona University, where I received a Master of Physical Therapy degree in 1991. Before relocating with my husband Troy and our two sons from the greater Seattle area to Pullman in 2000, I gained extensive experience as a clinician and manager in private practice. I have a special interest in the evaluation and treatment of orthopedic spinal conditions and dysfunctions.

While practicing in the Everett area, I was fortunate to complete a year-long training program in the Kaltenborn-Evjenth Nordic System in orthopedic manual therapy in 1997. In connection with the program I have recorded over 250 hours with Dr. Robert Rinke, PT, DC in his clinic.

It is my goal that each patient I see understands his/her spinal condition and receives the best possible care to maximize function and comfort.; Professional Profile
