"My name is James Mawhiney, PT, DPT, and I am the owner and operator of this establishment. For the past 11 years, my corporation has operated under the long‑standing and trusted clinical name Shelley A. Cooper, PT, allowing me to continue the clinic’s legacy while expanding its reach, quality, and impact in our community. I graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 2010.

As a therapist, I am committed to continual growth. I stay current with the latest treatment approaches, scientific research, and evolving best practices. I work extensively with seniors on balance and fall‑prevention training, and I also specialize in sports injury prevention and rehab, joint replacement rehabilitation, and spinal injuries. The greatest reward in this profession is seeing someone move from frustration or discouragement to hope and confidence. Helping people is my calling, and physical therapy is the way I get to live that out every day.

Personally, I married the love of my life, Sherronna, in 2003. Together we raise our seven children and build a life rooted in faith, purpose, and service. She homeschools our kids, works alongside me in the business, volunteers generously, and supports our friends, family, church, missions, and adoption. She brings joy, strength, and fun into everything we do, and I’m grateful for her every day. Our faith shapes how we live, how we lead, and how we care for our team, our patients, and our community.

As a family, we attend church together, stay active in serving our community, and spend much of our time supporting youth sports. I also enjoy participating in Spartan races, half‑marathons, and 5Ks throughout the year."
