At Thrive Physical Therapy in Richmond, Virginia, our main goal is to help people attain a better, healthier lifestyle with less pain and better physical function. Everyone responds differently to treatment (orthopedic rehab, sports medicine, spine rehab, etc.) and has distinct needs. We identify the source of pain and diminished function and use hands-on manual therapy techniques to correct a multitude of physical conditions.
THRIVE PT is a specialized manually based orthopedic, spine, and sports physical therapy practice that provides individualized care to its patients. All of our therapists have specialty training, advanced certifications in orthopedic manual therapy, and extensive post graduate course work, and are highly qualified to help you reach your therapy goals.
Dry Needling Therapy is the use of a solid needle for the therapy of muscle pain. Similar to acupuncture in appearance, but the practice is based on clinical guidelines not 'meridians'. The needles are placed deep in the skin and muscle to directly release myofascial trigger points and relieve pain in muscle and connective tissue.
We understand how frustrating it is to have low energy, be deconditioned, and to be unable to pursue physical activities you love with confidence. As well as how concerning it is, to not know what to do or where to turn for help. We can assist you to make the best choices for you, avoid injury, be physically fit, and feel great!

I was drawn to Thrive Physical Therapy after viewing the website. I was looking for a more comprehensive approach to deal with my chronic back pain. I began with physical therapy with Clarke and Chad. Both outstanding professionals that truly listened to my needs and help create a plan of action to help me.
I participated in the Thrive Transformation Academy which was the comprehensive path I needed to take. For the first time I was not just about the physical exercises but about the mental wellness I needed to achieve. Working with all the professionals at Thrive through this program I gained

Thrive Physical Therapy is the BEST *****
You guys are really awesome and I don't think I have told you that enough. I am doing great but that is only because of the incredible comprehensive treatment I received during my Thrive therapy under Cody's direction and all the support the Thrive team has provided me via so many different types of messaging. It is so appreciated and I so need those reminders. It would be so easy today to say I'm feeling so much better that maybe I really don't need to be stretching and strengthening as much anymore.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing me the

This review is long overdue. I went to Clarke a year out after having hip surgery. I saw a few other PTs before seeing Clarke but PT was making my symptoms worse. I thought my surgery was a failure. My surgeon and I discussed a revision but I did not want to have another surgery. I decided I would make an appointment with Clarke as a last resort. I am so thankful that I made that appointment. His focus on manual therapy and neuromuscular re-education helped me improve to a place I never thought I could get. I am forever grateful for his help!

Thrive has been such a blessing in my life. I have been treated by Clarke, Cody, and Chad (whooo dry needling!) over the past few years and have experienced not only physical but emotional/psychological healing through my interactions with them. As a college student, I find it refreshing to return home and know that I am welcome to return to the clinic and pepper Cody with my questions and concerns. Regardless of how I felt entering the clinic, I always leave with a smile, new knowledge, and fresh hope that my situation will improve and that life doesn't have to stop when pain arises. I truly admire

I am a physical therapist myself and was very anxious to find the right therapist for my son. My adult son has had lots of therapy for various things in the past. He returned from his evaluation reporting that this was the best experience he had ever had. The therapist was extremely knowledgeable, addressed causes in addition to symptoms and spent a great deal of one on one time discussing his condition and making him feel secure with the diagnosis, treatment and future concerns. I have already referred a friend to this practice.

I have been experiencing jaw pain for off and on over a few years now and tried physical therapy at another place that did not go well for me. Partly my fault because I should have communicated my concerns. I was a little hesitant when I started at Thrive for my second attempt at physical therapy. Upon starting I was having frequent popping of my jaw and sensation that it was going to lock. I also had frequent pain. Working with Chad I have learned tools to effectively manage my condition. I would highly recommend this place. Oh and I forgot to mention, scheduling is awesome. My work schedule

All of these reviews are old and everyone speaks highly of Clarke. I've never met him but wish I had. My PT seemed inexperienced and was rough. I like the office staff and they're flexible about appointments. My PT only made me worse. I've had many, many experiences with physical therapy and none of them made me feel worse. I would NOT recommend Thrive. ...............................:.............

If you are serious about getting better with the latest treatment options come to Thrive. As a professional athlete, I trust Clarke Tanner and the rest of the staff to treat me with the latest techniques available to improve my performance and alleviate any lingering pains I may have. I have been working with Thrive for 2+ years and continue to see success on and off the bike from all of the insights/ techniques that Thrive provides. Additionally, in just my observances at the office, each therapist has an extremely friendly and open demeanor with their patients which I believe facilities the most

I really can't say enough about this entire practice. This was my first experience with physical therapy and everyone from the front desk, to my therapist was phenomenal! The front desk folks are kind and work hard to schedule your appointments for days/times that work for you, and Jesse did a fantastic job of listening to my back issues and figuring out what was going on. His recommendations and treatments were right on. The folks at Thrive took surgery off the table for me, and I am SO thankful!

This private practice has a new name "Thrive", and I think the name describes them well. Clarke is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and he really cares about helping people. See him before you consider surgery. Clarke also has special expertise with athletes.
Thrive has to be the best physical therapy office in Richmond!

Clarke Tanner is a magician. I was ready to have a second back surgery after doing PT with another provider for over 3 months. Clarke fixed me when no one else could. I have been a competitive athlete my entire life. Clarke is the most competant PT I've ever worked with. Thanks to Clarke, I am still a competitive athlete.

I was suffering from weakness on my left side, due to an injury from a car accident. Forced with the prospect of spine surgery, my husband, a rehab physician, hooked me up with Clarke. He was amazing! He was kind, considerate, and was able to get me going again. I can't say physical therapy was fun, but I was able to forgo surgery. I can't recommend strongly enough.
