Our therapist are balance experts. We assess each patient's sensory input systems to find where they may have deficits. We also assess sensory output like strength, range of motion, postural control and mobility. This gives us a full picture of a patient's fall risk. We then make a plan to improve and optimize overall safety and performance.
CrossFit athletes utilize many avenues for recovery from muscle soreness and mild injury, but physical therapy is often underutilized as a rehabilitation method. Historically crossfitters and physical therapists have been at odds with each other, secondary to the high loads utilized by CrossFit athletes, and by the physical therapists' lack of knowledge of Olympic lifting and gymnastics movements.
Riverview physical therapist take a different approach to assessing what causes pain. This enables them to not only specifically treat what is causing the pain but effectively educate patients and empower them with the tools to manage their pain after physical therapy. Pain is the most common reason for seeking medical care.

Derek was an amazing physical therapist and helped me to get back my mobility after a neck surgery. Taught me some great exercises to do at home. He's so nice and personable and the office staff is super flexible ( I needed to push my appointments and move them around a lot due to my job and they were super accommodating). Would highly recommend them!

Derek was amazing in helping me manage my TMJD. For 10 months straight my jaw made an awful clicking noise whenever I opened it. I had been to dentists and my primary care doctor multiple times and nobody was able to give me direct answers or solutions like he did. It has now been 3 weeks with no clicking at all! Derek truly went out of his way and beyond his training to help me with my issue and taught me easy to do exercises at home to prevent/manage it, going as far as taking his own time to research my specific disorder so he could more efficiently treat it. He also gave me videos to watch

The result of LEGG PERTHES as a child, left me with a 3/4" leg length discrepancy and years of living with pain from misalignment. I was referred to R.P.T. for pain management exercises. The whole team there is EXCELLENT. Derek is very knowledgeable and familiar with that rare disease so was able to give me exercises and tips on how to improve posture and reduce pain. I would rate them a 10+++

This team was and is extremely helpful and organized! My PT was Nancy! She was and is wonderful! She guided me with patience and kindness on my physical journey. If I had an emotional hard time, the entire team would step up and help calm my fears. Thank you Riverview Physical Therapy for giving me the confidence and strength to move again!

Robust place with all the staff being friendly, kind, knowledgeable and strongly desiring my improvement. I did improve every session. My pain decreased. My mobility issues were targeted with specific exercises which led to better gait and significantly better range of
motion. I thank Derek as my physical therapist for my solid progress and current strength. I can enjoy my life again. Ann
