Services
Feeling run down and needing a break at the end of the day because you have back or hip pain nagging you all day, and now you don't have personal time. Not wanting to miss out on playing with their kids because you are afraid to pull your back out. Our specialists are happy to speak to you about any questions you may have about how you can reach your goals.
At your first visit you will have your initial evaluation. This is when a Physical Therapist will find out more about you and the things you have been having trouble with. You will be asked a series of questions about what makes the pain worse, better, what is limited from pain, etc. You will also be asked to provide a history of major and minor injuries so the specialist can understand how your body may or may not have been moving.
I have for the past 20 years being suffering from back and neck injuries from my days as a competitive gymnast and I have seen every kind of specialist you can imagine. I've seen osteopaths, physical therapist, chiropractors, holistic medicine. I've tried everything and although I've had help along the way no one and I mean no one has been able to get the mechanics of what's wrong with me other than Bill and honestly he blew me away.
I have written this book in order to help you understand why you are experiencing back pain and help you sift through some of the options you have for addressing it. It is my hope that by reading this book you will have a better understanding of your back pain and steps to take to fix it. With the book you will also receive other information on back pain and treatment strategies.
I am here for you 100% and want you to feel comfortable asking questions. Your questions and comments help me serve you better! I want to give you heads up on a few questions or concerns expressed I typically get after the first visit. You should expect some soreness after treatment. My typical response is, "What does it feel like, a bruise, a sore muscle, or is it sharp and shooting?"

I found Movement First while in the middle of a neck pain conundrum. Every few months I had debilitating neck and shoulder pain that seemed to come out of nowhere! Dr. Bill helped me understand why this was happening and treated the issue. The care I got in-office and the long term tools received, were highly effective to the health and alignment of my entire body.

When I went to see Dr. Renka, I was working two jobs and very limited time, but I had an ongoing nerve issue and was told my best hope was PT. I had nerve surgery a few years ago that alleviated some of the issues but my legs still felt like dead weights and my ankles seemed to be at risk for cracking whenever I moved them. Dr. Renka seemed like he really wanted to help and gave me a thorough analysis of where I was, suggestions on how to move forward, and tried dry needling. I was amazed that in just two visits PT had made a difference. Because Dr. Renka is not covered through my insurance, I

Dr. Bill.......has went further into investigating the cause of my pain than anyone else in the P.T. world has dared to attempt. His effort and the RESULTS from my 5 visits thus far are why I have taken the time to write a review. When the results make a difference in the quality of life, with so few visits, im grateful 🙏I have found him and his expertise! THANK YOU and lets keep working on my goals!

I met Dr. Renkas years before he started his own practice and immediately realized that he was different than the PTs I had met previously. Dealing with chronic lower back pain/trying to avoid surgery can be an exhausting and frustrating life. The ever evolving low back rehab plan Dr. Renkas tailored to me (and my tall guy issues) specifically got to root of my problems and drastically reduced my pain and increased my quality of life. Dr. Renkas truly cares for the health and well being of his patients, he treats you exaclty like he would treat himself...a trait that is becoming more more rare

Dr Bill listened to my complaints about current and past aches and pains, asked a lot of great questions and then got right to work helping me with the pain in my hips and knees. With manual therapy, dry needling and corrective exercises I am no longer in acute pain and can move, sleep and keep up with my kids like I want to!

Dr. Bill as he goes by has worked with me over the last three months to heal my broken foot. He is amazing to work with and has definitely speeded my recovery. He comes to my house with his work table and messages the foot/leg and directs me through exercises to speed up my recovery. He provides a list and description of the exercises, checks in during the week to answer questions, and provides links covering you surgery and exercises. I would certainly recommend that you contact him. I hired him because he comes to my house during this Covid period and gives you his entire attention for an hour

I've suffered from chronic pain for years, managing it with chiropractic, PT, and massage therapy with no lasting relief. Most other providers focus on a specific area or problem. Dr. Renkas was compassionate and supportive from the beginning, and approached my situation with a completely open mind. He put a significant amount of time into identifying the root cause of my pain and the connections between pain areas. The hands-on therapy he provided, combined with careful explanation and coaching as to how to maintain progress and the results are amazing. I cannot recommend Dr. Renkas highly enough

Dr. Bill Renkas is first class when it comes to his knowledge and customer service. Not only was my back pain cured, he provided me a wealth of knowledge to carry with me beyond the treatment should another flare up occur later. His evaluation went beyond the symptoms and quickly identified the root cause of my pain and provided a customized treatment program to fit my goals/budget. His in-home service made it feel more comfortable and customized to me and extremely convenient. Not sure I would have received treatment if it weren't for the in-home service. Highly recommend!

Having lived with lower back pain for several years, I was unsure something could be done about it or what it would involve. Dr. Bill reached out, encouraged me to do a free initial evaluation, listened and validated, and he gave me hope and a path forward. Before even committing to working with him, I had validation that I did have an issue - and one that could be resolved. I remember asking, "Will we be able to find a position I can sleep in to have less pain?" And he said something like that we'd be able to do work so that I could sleep in whatever position I wanted without pain. It really can
