Nick Rinard Physical Therapy- where patients come to get results from physical therapy!

“I had lower back pain for the past 4 years & previous physical therapy visits & exercises only had temporary results.
After only 6 visits I can go back to my regularly scheduled daily HIT classes.
I’m so confident that if I had another pain issue in the future I can come back to Nick & get it fixed.”

Thank you Patsy for emailing your results- we really couldn't have done it without you!

"Best P.T. Ever

I highly recommend Nick Rinard Physical Therapy.

I have used other therapists in the past and have never found anyone who works with me, troubleshoots, and helps me understand how to help myself in the same way.

PT is hard work but these guys make it fun.

They're well worth your time and money even if not covered by your insurance, as their approach is highly effective.

My rapid recovery from a recent hip replacement was "highly unusual" according to the surgeon's office and I credit Nick and team for this."

Struggling with knee pain?

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is the place for you!

“I had horrible knee pain that was keeping me from being a mobile as I wanted.

Even just going up and downstairs even hurt.

Dr. Rinard was amazing- best PT experience I’ve ever had.

Exercises were easy to do + only had once/week appointments after the first week.

I can no go down stairs with no pain, one legged lunges without pain, play tennis without pain, + do 5K walks or more without knee pain.

THANK YOU ALL!”

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy: Getting you better than you were before your injury!

"Came in post rotator cuff surgery - was very limited in range of motion and pain from healing and surgery.

Pain near 0 in most movements but still a 4 on shoulder stretches.

More healing time and exercises need but 90% better than before."

1) What prompted you to schedule a visit?

1) Neck pain which actually was shoulder problems.

2) what can you do now tat you could not do then?

2) Sleep without waking in the night with high pain - also much more range of motion in shoulder without pain.

3) I first came to Nick Rinard 20 years ago.

He has always taught me what was going on with my ailments so I had full understanding full understanding which helped me improve."

“When I got injured, I knew the best choice was to see Nick Rinard as soon as possible.

He has helped me recover from injuries in the past and I knew I could count on him and his team to support me through this one.

I am so incredibly grateful to have them as part of my healthcare team.

My ankle and wrist are recovering and I am getting back to all the activities I love.

I highly recommend Nick and can’t say enough good things about the whole team.”

Please call Nick Rinard Physical Therapy- we don't want you living in pain. Don't deal with it, heal it.

"I had a back problem that I have been dealing with for decades.

I thought it was just something I would just have to live with.

Nick explained the the issue to me, why it happened and how to fix it.

For the first time in decades, I had the tools & education to deal w/my back pain.

Plus, Nick staff is excellent-friendly efficient and the best to talk to."

Why put things off for tomorrow when you can solve them today?

“Tight hamstring, pain in right knee that was restricting movement and making walking hard.
The pain in my knee is greatly reduced and the hamstring pain is almost non-existence.
Thank you so much. I put this off far too long!”

Results from the heart.

Thank you Terry for sharing!

"Sometime ago, I was injured rather severely, causing a constant agonizing nerve pain. A nurse at the hospital where I was examined recommended Diagnostic Physical Therapy; namely Nick Rinard and his associates.

Under Nick’s careful supervision, these highly trained professionals diagnosed my condition and started treatment immediately, and gave explicit instructions for exercises I was to do at home between visits.

Not only did the pain improve, but also my mental outlook, as the world suddenly seemed a worthwhile place to be. Sessions took place daily at first, then weekly, and eventually my condition was so much improved that I can now live a normal life.

Nick and his team of professionals have achieved a level of care and skill I had not previously seen, with a superb knowledge of the human body, especially the arts and sciences associated with muscle, bone, nerve and sinew, as well as an unexpected understanding of one’s mental and spiritual outlook."

Don't let pain stop you from enjoying your summer.

When it comes to pain you have 3 major options:

Medication, surgery and physical therapy.

Out of the 3 – Physical Therapy is the first road to take.

Surgery is not a cure all when it comes to back pain.

Physical therapy restores movement, function and quality of life.

Physical therapy is cost saving over medications and surgery.

Injuries heal quicker with physical therapy.

Medications are just a quick fix.

Over the counter medicines have negative consequences with long term use.

Physical therapy helps manage chronic pain for life.

Physical therapy manages the effects of arthritis.

Physical therapy prevents joint pain and instabilities.

No risk profile for physical therapy.

Physical therapy is totally reversible and no toxicity.

Physical therapy is the most organic holistic approach that exists.

No unknown ingredients.

What are your reasons to choose physical therapy?

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy: Physical Therapy as IT SHOULD BE!

"I came into the office because of neck pain and lack of range looking most directions.

Nick quickly diagnosed the issue and gave me simple exercises and stretches to re-align my neck and allow it to heal.

In the week after the first visit, I almost fully recovered range of motion and had reduced pain.

After 4 visits, I'm pain free and have full range of motion!

I have easy exercises to continue to hopefully maintain my status.

Nick and all of the staff ere great to work with!"

It has been a busy and wonderful spring at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy!

We are excited about getting you pain free from all your injuries so that you can slide into your favorite summer activities!
