I dislocated my right shoulder. Not as a result of any trauma, but I neglected some warning signs that I did not understand. In fact, looking back, I can see it was developing over a period of about 2 years. I could not lay flat on the floor in yoga class. I also had difficulty doing pushups. I thought I could push through the symptoms and they would eventually go away. They didn't. I woke up one day in a great deal of pain which turned excruciating as the day progressed. After a visit to my chiropractor I was diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder.

I started having sciatica pain about 5 years ago after trying to move a bed.  The next day I immediately saw my doctor who gave me x-rays and a referral for PT.  After years of seeing a few PTs, I saw no results.  My pilates teacher told me about Rob, and after my 3rd visit with him I started to feel pain relief.  Rob is very thorough and listens to every detail before deciding on a treatment plan, and I never felt as if he was rushing to get through the sessions.  I would refer Rob to any friend or family member, because you will definitely feel results!

I've been in several accidents and I was able to get well again thanks to Rob.  He gave me undivided attention and care.  I was very impressed by his assessment of my neck and back and by the exercises he gave me with feedback to make sure I was doing them the right way.  The manual therapy Rob used really helped in my recovery and he made sure I was keeping up with my exercises too!  I have referred people to Rob because I know they will be getting the best quality and service.

Working with Rob has been extremely helpful and informative. I had a traumatic foot injury that caused complications in my lower back and left leg. When I met Rob I was having trouble walking, sitting and simply moving in general. I was also in extreme pain. My situation was complicated and Rob took the time to really listen and assess each of my problem areas. My recovery was slow due to the nature of my issues, but Rob was very patient and provided me with the correct exercises and methods to help move the process along. I always felt confident that things were getting better, even when I had setbacks. During my sessions I also learned some valuable health and wellness techniques that I will continue to use long term. Rob’s years of experience are apparent when he’s working with you, and his attention to detail is unsurpassed. I would absolutely recommend Rob to a friend or family member who was in need of physical therapy. I’m confident that with Rob’s sage advice and thoughtful techniques, anyone in need of PT would benefit greatly from working with him.

Nobody plans on a massive stroke, and no one knows how devastating the consequences are unless you live through it.  There is no instant cure.  It takes a dedicated regimen to teach the brain to find new ways to move, and you need real expertise if you are going to get stronger and more mobile.   I saw other therapists since my stroke, but my successes came with Rob.  I truly appreciate how he was always there to keep me going and how he could select the right way forward for my rehabilitation.  Thanks for a job well done!
