RPM Physical Therapy is different from any Physical Therapy you will find! RPM Physical Therapy SAVED MY LIFE!Jonathan has built a truly exceptional team that I believe can and will heal just about any physical injury and/or issue you may have. The highly skilled team of Physical Therapists develop an individualized treatment plan in a systematic and whole-body approach. My tailored treatment plan started with a variety of techniques (deep tissue massage, dry needling, etc.) to break up damaged tissue allowing the muscles to glide freely. Next, they slowly began strengthening my bodies' core muscles allowing my body to develop a base of strength while simultaneously educating me on proper body mechanics and functional movements. The final phase of my treatment plan has involved a personal trainer who has worked with my physical therapist to develop my personalized workout routine that is constantly being modified to ensure the best possible results without the risk of injury. As I move towards the maintenance phase, I know I will have the strength and knowledge necessary to manage my condition effectively and tackle any physical challenge that may come my way!*As a reminder this is an example of my individualized treatment plan as everyone progresses differently and will have their own exceptional treatment plan developed.My story begins just about 1 year ago. I had an accident that resulted in cervical spinal canal stenosis (a condition where the spinal canal in the neck becomes narrowed, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots). The symptoms that resulted were severe nerve pain in my arms and hands and extreme sensitivity to cold water and to touch. I was on Gabapentin, 300mg 3x/day. The pain at the end of each workday was barely tolerable and I was unable to perform my daily duties at home. I was living on the couch and/or bed if I wasn't at work. The ortho surgeon recommended a steroid injection to the neck and physical therapy: The steroid injection gave no pain relief and the exercises the Physical Therapist (Not From RPM Physical Therapy) gave caused me to reinjure my neck. I was defeated...The ortho surgeon's words echoed in my head, "If at any point I have weakness or increased pain to contact him immediately for Emergent Surgery". I was barely 43 and was being told this would be my life from now on. With an 8-year-old daughter and half my life still to live I frantically searched for an alternative!I found RPM Physical Therapy! This team is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also genuinely caring and supportive. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in your well-being. They take the time to explain everything clearly and make you feel comfortable throughout the process. I found my alternative, and it was a miracle! Four months later, not only is my pain gone, but I am actually gaining strength throughout my entire body and feel better than I have in years! I went from being in constant pain to being able to live a full and active life. I am excited about my future again! Thank you to all the Therapists and Staff at RPM Therapy, I am so grateful! I only wish your philosophy existed throughout the nation and could reach all those who truly need you! Less

The best part is that with Jessica for physical therapy and Nilah for personal training I now have personalized exercises to strengthen my glutes and core that will help strengthen my back and lessen the chance future issues. And if my back does get out of whack, I now have an arsenal of exercises to self try before seeking further treatment. After successfully treating my lower back, I began to have pain in my elbow up to my shoulder blade and down my forearm. Again, Dr Jessica knew exactly what was causing the pain. After a few treatments and at home exercises, my shoulder, elbow and arm are pain-free as well!! I give RPM a 6 out and of 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ The whole staff is friendly and just phenomenal!

Once my shoulder pain became so immobilizing I couldn’t move my arm, I knew I had to get help.A friend referred me to Jonathan at Ruzicka Performance and Mobility, and I had no idea what to expect. Jonathan made me feel very comfortable. He knew what was wrong immediately and set me on a path to not only alleviate the pain I was feeling that day but create a routine for me to do on my own for long term maintenance. He also helped me consider which activities in my daily life were affecting my shoulder and how to do them in a way that would lessen the impact. Within a week, I had done a 180, and now after a few months, my shoulder feels better than ever!I am so grateful for Jonathan and Flavia! I cannot recommend RPM enough! Less

Blessed to have found Jonathan and his gifted trainers when I did! At age 33, I have dealt with chronic pain associated with a spinal injury since age 17. Multiple doctors and MRIs helped to understand the problems in my spine but most solutions were either surgical or to manage the pain with prescription pain medication. After 15 years of dead end solutions, I was referred to see Jonathan. He first took the time listen to my issues and understand what I was experiencing. Chronic pain can be physically and mentally debilitating and finding a PT who loves what he does enough to genuinely understand what I have experienced was and is very important. He and his trainers have identifed practical and realistic solutions to strengthen my body in ways that truly eliminate pain the right way. Through focused and guided weight lifting routines and strengthening exercises, they use their education and passion for people to see lasting and permanent results. I am looking forward to conquering and managing my pain the right way for years to come and I am thankful to Jonathan and his staff for making that happen. Less

I am not one to give into pain, but I created a very painful issue with my sciatic nerve. I just thought the pain would go away eventually, but when it became more inflamed and the pain intensified, I went to see Jonathan at RPM. What I liked was that he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to accurately assess the problem and the best road to healing. No cookie cutter solutions! I also liked that he didn’t just hand me a sheet with a list of exercises to go home and do. Not overwhelming at all. Basically, 3-4 highly effective practices for what I was dealing with. Jonathan also made sure I was executing the exercises correctly so I wouldn’t cause more damage. He is passionate about his work with clients and truly cares. He knows what he is doing. Within three months the pain and inflammation have subsided and I have a course of treatment to make it stay that way. I know the accurate way to exercise so this doesn’t happen again! I can’t say enough nice things about Jonathan and he comes with my highest recommendation!! Less

Jonathan at RPM kept me out of the operating room and helped me overcome the most debilitating injury of my life. I cannot overstate the degree to which his knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive approach to physical therapy helped me. I absolutely recommend him to all my family and friends (and anyone else) that needs help to address their mobility problems.My story:In the spring of 2015, I had a nagging “hamstring injury” that was becoming too painful to ignore. My doctor first prescribed some steroids, and when they had no effect, she recommended I start physical therapy and go see an orthopedic specialist. The orthopedic specialist scheduled an MRI, reviewed the results, told me I have a herniated disk (L5/S1) and recommended surgery. Luckily for me, I had already started physical therapy at Select PT (where they had assigned me to work with Jonathan Ruzicka). I ended up never calling back the orthopedic specialist . Instead, I continued with my physical therapy and continued to see progress. I went from having difficulty walking and not being able to put on my socks in the morning to running 10Ks, playing basketball again, and working on projects around the house.I wish that was the end of my story, but unfortunately I hurt my back again. So what happened? I think a lot of it was complacency and ignoring red flags like pain in my hamstring. On a Saturday in February of 2018, I had been doing some landscaping work which included shoveling dirt and moving heavy bags of soil and mulch. I felt fine on Saturday but woke up on Sunday with excruciating pain on the right side of my lower back, my glute and hamstring, and unable to stand straight or walk. The first thing I did on Monday morning was Google Jonathan Ruzicka and make an appointment at RPM. Although I had not seen Jonathan in almost three years, he remembered my initial injury in 2015. We briefly caught up and then he started to assess my injury, observing my movements, and developing a strategy to get me back in shape. The following six weeks were not fun. I could not stand up straight or extend my right leg forward to walk. I could not find a comfortable position to sit or lie down. I could not sleep through the night due to the pain. My initial RPM sessions focused on manual therapy along with figuring out which movements to avoid. I learned the proper way to sleep and how to avoid causing sharp pain to shoot down my back and leg. It was hard to come to terms with my limited mobility. Every week I expected to feel better and was disappointed with my lack of progress. I started to lose confidence in my decision to avoid seeing the orthopedic specialist, but what gave me hope was that 1) Jonathan had helped overcome this type of pain before, and 2) Jonathan was confident he was going to help me overcome this injury again. I finally started noticing signs of improvement after six weeks. The intensity of the pain started to subside and I started to be able to stand up more straight. I use a FitBit to track my activity, and I could see that my daily steps, which dropped from an average of 12,500 before the injury to 5,000 steps/day after the injury start creeping back up. Jonathan gave me more aggressive stretches and exercises. I was able to maintain progress over the next month. Increasing my mobility helped speed up my recovery. I started biking, then walking longer distances, and then swimming. In June, I started jogging again. By July, I had made a complete recovery, regaining 100% of my mobility.I believe that Jonathan’s and RPM’s approach to physical therapy was a key element in my recovery. I understood early on that physical therapy was not going to be a magic pill; that it would require patience and consistency; that my habits and patterns led to my injury and I would have to modify them to avoid pain in the future. I plan to continue to see Jonathan once every 3 or 4 months as a preventative measure, to assess my mobility, refine my routine, and make sure I never experience this type of injury again. Less

My wife was experiencing nerve impingment of her left shoulder. She is an retired RN. She had already received treatment by her chiropractor & her orthopedic surgeon. Nothing was helping. We were told about Dr. Ruzicka. Dr. Ruzicka was able to diagnose my wife's problem & he explained why the other treatments were not working. My wife had an encapsulation of tissues in her shoulder which was causing her left shoulder blade to impinge on the nerves in her shoulder. After 5 deep massage & physical therapy treatments my wife's shoulder has stopped hurting. Dr. Ruzicka has instructed my wife in specific exercises to do to prevent the problem from returning. We are extremely pleased with the treatment by Dr. Ruzicka. We give him our highest recommendation. Less

When I found out that I had the same shoulder injury for a second time in less than two years from my first surgery (detached supraspinatus), I knew that the first person I need to talk to was Jonathan. I had been fortunate enough to work with him the first time with my physical therapy (PT) before he started his own business, Ruzicka Performance & Mobility (RPM).Fast forward through surgery, weeks in a sling and early passive range of motion exercises, I finally end up at my first PT session at RPM. It was amazing – an entire hour dedicated to me and my specific situation – nothing like the mass-market PT centers where you share 30 minutes with one therapist and three other patients. My hour was custom-tailored with stretching and deep tissue manipulation. The results? Amazing measurable improvements in range of motion and soreness from the first session on.It’s really a team effort that is built on trust. I trust my therapist pulling and stretching these muscles and tendons in ways you wouldn’t quite believe, which honestly, can be a little scary in those early sessions! And there’s trust that I am going to participate in my recovery by doing homework (specific, at home exercises) in between our sessions.Today, I am pain free. I sleep on my side with no problems. I have no limitations with mobility. I feel stronger and whole again which lets me be active, work out and travel.Being active is a freedom we often take for granted until it is limited or taken away. I value my freedom more than anything else because it forms the foundation of my lifestyle. To that end, I am working with one of RPM’s personal trainers. Once again, a custom-tailored program that is specific to me, to my needs and safe!Now I am doing exercises I have never done before. I’ve learned that technique, form and proper posture is more important than I ever realized. I’m learning how to engage the various muscles that support my back, neck and shoulders. I am convinced that this is how I will avoid a third surgery and maintain an active lifestyle.On top of that, Jonathan’s just the nicest guy you will meet. I feel like I’ve gained a friend. I value his advice and look up to him like the older brother I never had! Less

I I came to RPM with a lot of lower back pain. I have been lifting since I was in middle school when I started playing football and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. I worked at a feed store for awhile in between jobs and really aggravated something in my lumbar region. I stretched, iced, heated the area and was taking OTC pain killers as often as recommended and had no relief. I am an active person and I benefit greatly from physical exercise. I find that I need to exercise not only for my physical health, but my mental health as well. The fact that exercise was becoming very close to not being an option for me anymore, I decided I had to do something about it. I started looking for different back surgeons, until I was recommended by a friend to have a consultation first with Jonathan at RPM. He listened to my situation over the phone, and then had me come into his facility for a full assessment. He was confident that I could reduce or eliminate my back pain without surgery (which I was extremely skeptical) but decided to give his program a try. He took a lot of time listening and and asking questions so that he could pinpoint the reasons and causes of my pain. Within days, he had created a personalized program for me, complete with exercises to rehabilitate my back at home, and we started working hard during our time at his facility to create new habits and eliminate old ones. This was all one-on-one time, not some group physical therapy (I have been in groups before). I found that since he was a collegiate athlete as well as a licensed PT, he could better understand my complaints and create a customized plan to help me reach my goals in the gym. RPM also taught me techniques and methods to keep me from re-injuring my back and keep me active and eliminate down time. Within 6 sessions (this is with doing exactly what I was told to do), I was literally pain free and going through intense workouts in the gym again. I can’t thank Jonathan and his team at RPM enough. They really exceeded my expectations and made a believer out of me without the need for surgery, tons of down time and a grueling rehab recovery. I highly recommend for anyone that is in pain to reach out for a consultation to at least see if there is anything they can do to eliminate your pain before resorting to surgery and especially relying on prescription pain medication!

Recently I was enjoying a nice bike ride in the Woodlands and fell off my bike, twisting my knee. Like most people I jumped up quickly (hoping no one saw) and got back on my bike. My knee was a little sore at first, but I was shocked (and scared) at how painful it felt a couple of hours later, as I could barely walk. I iced it and rested that weekend, just assuming it was going to get better. I was surprised to still be in pain 3 weeks later when getting up from a standing position. The pain was even waking me up at night so I decided to go in for a consultation at RPM. I had never seen a physical therapist before, but I am so glad I came to RPM. My knee was feeling better after one session, and in just a few weeks -PAIN FREE! I would definitely recommend RPM. Jonathan quickly identified how to help me heal and reduce inflammation in that knee. I am what they call "not exactly coordinated," and he was so patient in helping me to attain proper form. He, and his staff are kind and patient - and have a great sense of humor (which makes everything easier). Less

I have dealt with a bulging disk in my lower back for more than a decade. At best there was always dull pain and tightness and at worst I was completely immobilized and unable to move or go to work. I had seen orthopedic surgeons, received steroid injections and seriously entertained the idea of surgery. Before seeing Dr. Ruzicka, I just thought it was normal to deal a baseline level of pain and stiffness, have flare-ups a few times per year and get steroid injections every few years when the issues became completely unbearable.I started seeing Dr. Ruzicka at the recommendation of a family member after missing work several times during an 18 month period for back related flare-ups. I was encouraged by the fact he’s personally had similar injuries to mine and understands how to manage them without injections or surgery. In addition to the work Jonathan did during my appointments, he gave me 2-3 minutes of exercises and stretches and other tools to manage my issues between appointments. After two months I have seen an immeasurable improvement in my symptoms to the point of having no noticeable tightness or soreness on a daily basis. One of the catalysts for me finally scheduling my first appointment with RPM two months ago was an upcoming multiday backpacking trip in the Pacific Northwest. Jonathan was one of the first people I reached out to after getting back to cellular service; just to say thanks for making it possible to enjoy the trip without pain or fear of having a flare-up.I would recommend Jonathan to anyone dealing with pain or stiffness, whether related to specific injury or a long-term chronic issue. He truly cares about improving his patients’ quality of life and helping people. I am amazed by the progress I have seen in two months for an issue I have dealt with for more than ten years. I cannot recommend RPM highly enough. Thanks Jonathan. Less

I came to RPM experiencing a tingling numbness in one arm if I remained in one position or remained still for too long. It lasted for a couple of weeks before I decided it would not go away on its own. My mom recommended that I come visit Dr. Ruzicka since he had previously helped her with some muscular issues. I started experiencing less numbness after my second session, and after about 6 I could tell that he was not only alleviating the symptom but actually helping me to fix the underlying problem (mostly my poor posture).It took about 3 months of sessions (twice a week at first, tapering down to just two in the third month I think) until my issue had been completely fixed. I still find myself slipping on my posture occasionally, but Dr. Ruzicka helped me identify what I was doing that would cause problems in the future and how to help prevent them. I work a desk job, and still visit RPM voluntarily every couple of months just to continue preventing problems before they actually occur.I would honestly recommend a visit to RPM before other alternatives like traditional physical therapists or chiropractors. I feel certain that Dr. Ruzicka would tell you if you would be better served by another discipline, but his unique expertise and refusal to rely on medication to cover up issues will be able to solve a wide variety of issues. I am 29 years old and definitely vouch for RPM's ability to help you solve any mobility issues you have before they get worse. Less

After reading a lot of online reviews I ended up reaching out to 3 different clinics. The first person I saw twice and had no change. The second clinic was disorganized and was a little too pushy for me to actually go in and feel comfortable. RPM was far for me but I was barely able to walk and after talking to them on the phone I thought there was a chance they could help..I’m very happy I tried them out and with my overall experience. I was 90% better with just a few visits. I stayed consistent with my exercises for a few weeks and I haven’t had the problem since.If you’ve never dealt with a back problem before and you don’t really know what to do then I would definitely recommend reaching out to someone at RPM. They know how to put together a structured program so you can heal quickly. I just wish I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money in other places. Less

I have never myself visited a Physical Therapist but I wanted help for my son. Well I think we got the Best. One on One care. He is a former football player so he is able to help my son with his form in lifting which turns out was the major problem in causing his back pain. I think we have had 4-5 visits and the pain has decreased so much. My son would complain on a constant basis which he doesn’t anymore.If a family member or friend needed PT I would definitely recommend Jonathan!!! I really feel all teenagers would benefit who just need directions on correctly lifting weights the proper way!!! Less

I am age 62 with L4L5 back issues causing nerve and muscle pain runnin down my right leg. Also, I have a right hip anterior laberal tear. I did not want to take drugs to mask the issues but wanted a more homepatheic approach that would remediate the pain. I had therapy with Memorial Sports Medicine off of Katy freeway. I did experience some relief but wanted a more individual approach from someone who understands healing the body thru therapy and exercise. I began with Jonathan Ruzicka the last quarter of 2017. I met with him 2x a week for 4 to 6 weeks. He performed physical therapy and taught me exercises to assist in my recovery. Now I see him for maintenance 2x a month. Jonathan is a caring professional who takes your health situation seriously. Please note that you must do the exercises along with physical therapy or you will not get results. I urge you to tell your medical doctor no to drugs a yes to a more health solution. Many blessings on your journey. Lorraine Less

Jonathan helped me with a back issue. I had dealt with the pain in my leg from my back for almost a year. It took me a while to get some help thinking it would heal without any intervention. I was not sure if I even had a back issue since the pain was in my leg. I think everyone thought I was "too young" to be dealing with a back issue. After some time of dealing with pain, I finally went the doctor and he gave me a prescription to see a PT. I just randomly choose a place next to my house and it happened to be the place where Jonathan worked. I told him my situation and he seemed so confident that you could help me. But since he was leaving to start his own business, I only got to work with him for a week. At this time, I thought all physical therapist were the same, so I just stayed at the clinic close to my house. After months of dealing with the pain and no help from the other PT that replaced Jonathan, I decided to go back to the doctor. I did an MRI and they confirmed that it was in fact my back causing the pain in my leg. Now that I knew the problem, I tried to fix the issue myself. I searched the internet reading everything I could find on the subject. I tried various methods and none of them ever worked. The last method I attempted was to try working out to strengthen my muscles around my back. One morning I woke up in extreme pain after a previous day workout. I had hurt myself so badly from working out incorrectly that I had missed a month of work. I went back to the doctor because the pain was unbearable. I never wanted to perform surgery and that is why I was trying to fix the issue myself. I was concerned that surgery would be the only option. He told me that he recommended that I get a shot in my back to help with inflammation. Even the shot concerned me and I really wanted to find a way to fix it naturally that would have long term results. I waited another week in extreme pain hoping it would get better. The pain never stopped, so I finally scheduled the procedure. I sat around the house dealing with this pain for two weeks and those two weeks seemed to drag on forever. I was unable to sleep because laying or sitting down was also out of the question. Walking seemed to give me some relief, so paced around the house all week. Since I was sleep deprived, I continued to read about the procedure that I was about to perform. I had read that most people were getting three and four shots a year to keep that pain away. But I had also read that if I coupled this procedure with an exercise program from a PT that I had a better chance of the pain to never return. I knew that the other PT had not help me in the past, so I did not want to go back to just anyone. I remembered how Jonathan was so confident that he could fix my issue. I searched for him on the internet and emailed him a few days before my produce. He responded in a quick manner and said he remembered me. He told me he could help me without the shot, but he was excited that after the procedure we could get right to work on the issue. Jonathan has been great for me! We started off with him mostly manually working on me and giving me exercises to do at home. The exercises at home where great, for the most part they have keep the pain away. There were sometimes that I still felt the pain. But Jonathan explained to me the manual work and the home exercises where just short-term solutions and they were not helping me get ahead of the issue. If I wanted long term pain reduction, I needed a workout program. Since I have added in the workout program and the manual work together, I feel better than ever. Jonathan is a miracle worker and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with long term back pain. Less

I first went to RPM by the recommendation from a family member. I have always been an active, athletic person with a good amount of musclular integrity from gymnastics and soccer growing up. When I was in college I started to develop knee pains after long durations of sitting down, which happened frequently due to my course load. After graduation the pain continued, but I really identified that I only experienced it when sitting for extended periods of time. The only way to describe the pain is the feeling that my knee caps were being split apart. Normal activities such as walking, running, working out, or yoga did not cause any problems. I went and saw an orthopedist who gave me a diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome and instructed me to work with a physical therapist for a few weeks. After my time with the therapist, I did not notice any drastic improvements. I still experienced pain and had basically given up on any solutions. I continued on my normal life and exercise routines and had just decided to live with it.A couple years later, RPM was recommended to me. On my initial consultation, Jonathan explained that my knees might not be the source of the problem, but could be victims of other joint problems that have been untreated for years. My therapy with RPM targeted everything from my hips to my ankles, trying to realign the all muscle fibers so they are working as they were designed to. I was given exercises that targeted the specific muscle groups that were weak and attributing to the pain I was experiencing.After only 6 sessions over the course of 3 months (the time period is long only due to my work schedule), I finally saw a difference. I could sit comfortably longer that I could ever remember. It was incredible. I fly a lot for work, and I will never forget the first flight I was able to sit through without the feeling that my kneecaps were splitting in half. I didn’t notice it at first, but when I was about to stand up to get off I realized it and was shocked! I can’t thank RPM enough for what they have done for me. Would highly recommend this team for anyone that experiences chronic pain or has sports injuries (old or new). The treatment is personal and 100% tailored to your needs. You will not regret it! Less

For starters; this is probably the first review that I have ever written that was not incentivized. I started weight lifting after about 8 years of non-activity. After about 2 months i started to feel pain in my in shoulder and rotator cuff area, but continued to workout in spite of. After 2 month of completely ignoring it; the pain began to progress. It started to spread down my arm and back, to the point when the entire area below my elbow would go numb ,and my fingertips would tingle whenever I raised my arm above my knee, and I had trouble sleeping at night .I asked around about physical therapists, and came across Dr. Ruzicka's name on 2 separate occasions. He came highly recommended. I contacted Dr. Ruzicka and he was able to get me in immediately. I have an outside sales job takes me all over the city, and keeps me extremely busy, so this was definitely a plus. Upon arriving at RPM; I immediately noticed the facility was very clean and I was greeted by everyone person I encountered. Now to Dr. Ruzicka.This guy is AMAZING! We had our initial consultation over the phone, but we reviewed again and he walked me through the diagnosis and the steps that he would be taking to help rid me of my chronic pain. The first session, was nothing like I expected. I prepared for an hour of pain, but Dr. Ruzicka took his time and accessed the areas where I was experiencing the most discomfort and explained to me why. Night 1; I slept like a baby! This was the first time that I had a full nights sleep in 2 months without numbness in my arm. Not only has this process been effective, but more educational that I could have ever imagined. Considering that this is physical therapy; it was the most comfortable Dr's appointment that I have ever been to. Dr. Ruzicka is very professional, but he is also personable. He really knows how to read his patients. I get so wrapped up in our conversations that I forget about some of the discomfort. He really cares about you and your overall well being. God forbid, you ever find yourself in need of a physical therapist, but if you so; I definitely encourage you see Dr. Ruzicka. Less

I’ve had back issues off and on for a number of years, but I was always able to control the issues with physical therapy until about 3 ½ years ago. At that point, bulging discs were causing nerve pain in my leg, and after a series of cortisone injections and three rounds of physical therapy over the course of the next two years, I narrowly avoided surgery. I then attempted to “maintain” through continuing the physical therapy stretches and periodic chiropractic visits, but every time I tried to increase my exercise routine, I would start feeling pain again.I began seeing Jonathan about three months ago when I started feeling some back-related discomfort. The pain wasn’t severe at that point, but I had no intentions of letting it get that way! I liked the fact that Jonathan has placed an emphasis on helping people in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s increase their mobility and activity levels. That’s exactly what I needed, and it’s what Jonathan is providing.I have been to a number of physical therapists over the last few years, and Jonathan’s approach is different. I had continued to do stretching exercises in order to maintain the mobility that I had gained. Jonathan nailed it when he said that stretches are good, but they are a temporary fix. Jonathan immediately began working on strengthening my glutes, hamstrings and quads. In the course of a few short weeks, I had more flexibility and less pain than I’ve had in several years.Once the basic back issue had been addressed, I asked Jonathan about pain that I had been having in my foot. I had a bunion that had started forming about a year earlier. When I realized what the issue seemed to be, I went to see a podiatrist to get an actual diagnosis. I was told that the structure of the foot was within the normal range, and that when the pain got to the point that I needed relief, then we would discuss surgical options. Jonathan did an evaluation and immediately determined the problem was not with my foot but with the range of motion in my ankle. With a combination of manual therapy and ankle exercises, the pain in my foot has subsided.With oversight from Jonathan and Megan (RPM trainer), I am now starting to move forward with building exercise routines to increase my strength and flexibility.Jonathan is very genuine in his desire to diagnose and treat each unique case. Instead of “checking the boxes” for the standard exercises and stretches, he works to find (or develop) specific exercises for the individual case. I recommended Jonathan to my son and my daughter (both in their 20’s), and they have both worked with Jonathan on various issues stemming from their physical activities. Less

I would refer anyone and everyone to get their rehabilitation from RPM. Less

I started having pain in the backs of my legs and hips earlier this year. Being a highly active person, I brushed it off as "overuse" until the pain got so bad, that I became desperate for help. Dr. Ruzicka was referred to me by a friend, so I finally contacted him and he made an initial evaluation appointment to see me THAT day to diagnose the issue.This was my first experience with physical therapy and I had no idea what to expect. Dr. Ruzicka is personable, honest, and authentic, so I immediately felt comfortable as a patient. He is extremely knowledgeable, yet humble, and is truly committed to helping his patients reduce pain and fix the problem. The biggest fear I had was that I would be asked not to exercise or partake in my usual sports, but he believes movement and activity is good for recovery as long as the activities I was doing did not make the pain worse. I was beyond thrilled!I expected to spend an hour doing simple exercises during sessions, but Dr. Ruzicka believes strongly in using the full hour for specialized techniques, such as manual therapy or other forms of therapy, and leaves the exercises for the patient to do at home. I feel that he respects the patients time and money.After about 3 weeks of therapy, I noticed significant improvement in my pain. We worked together to identify the causes of the pain and changes that could be made in the future to ensure I stay pain-free. It's been about 8 sessions and the pain is almost completely gone. I have made many lifestyle changes for the better and learned so much about my body through working with him.If I could give Dr. Ruzicka 10 stars, I would. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients, and I'm so grateful for everything he's done for me. If I ever have pain or injuries in the future, I will go back to see him in a heartbeat! Highly, highly recommended! Less

Dr Ruzicka really got me back on my feet, literally. I'm 65 and for several weeks had developed a painful ankle. I had severely sprained it many years ago, but until recently, had no symptoms. It began as a "tweak" of pain when transferring my weight during a golf swing. After a few weeks it started to bother me sometimes to just walk. Finally, I was having difficulty walking much of the time... More

Dr Ruzicka really got me back on my feet, literally. I'm 65 and for several weeks had developed a painful ankle. I had severely sprained it many years ago, but until recently, had no symptoms. It began as a "tweak" of pain when transferring my weight during a golf swing. After a few weeks it started to bother me sometimes to just walk. Finally, I was having difficulty walking much of the time. NSAIDS didn't help.I was referred to Dr R with the highest recommendation. As I live out of the area, he took the time to get a good history over the phone and suggested some simple exercises that might help until I could see him. At our appointment, he was able to do some hands-on therapy which included several areas of the lower extremities other than the ankle. He really demonstrated his broad understanding of the inter-relationships of the various body parts. This was the key to my recovery as very little attention was given to the ankle itself. Rather, the exercise he prescribed were intended to loosen tight calves, and strengthen the hips and legs. I started to see some improvement very soon and now after several weeks of home therapy I'm virtually asymptomatic.Had I been able to have more office visits, I likely would have improved even faster but that's the other great thing about Dr Ruzicka, he isn't looking for chronic patients. He wants the patient to understand their problem, provide the needed physical therapy and then get them helping themselves with lifestyle changes and exercises for their specific issue so they don't require constant office visits. I'm a retired dentist and residency director. In every profession, there is a rather small percentage of providers that are elite. They are better trained, more experienced, more dedicated, brighter, and just try harder to be the best. As I am not in his profession, I can’t give that elite label but based on my experience, Dr Ruzicka seems to have all those characteristics.Robert Larsen, DDS Less

In late October 2015, I was forced to cancel my trip to USA Powerlifting Raw Nationals due to multiple injuries. My right shoulder and bicep had been getting progressively worse for months, from a feeling of tightness to outright pain when bench pressing or squatting, pain that would take several hours to subside. Similarly, my lower back was in constant pain. Squatting and deadlifting were extremely painful, and I was limited in the weight I could use. Eventually even the act of sitting down hurt.I was broken.The thing is, I'd been broken for some time. As a masters lifter (over age 40), it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between the stiffness and creakiness that come with age and actual injury. I had not paid enough attention to the warning signs, and had not done the things I needed to do to get better. So by the time I decided to get help, things were pretty dire.Luckily for me, I contacted Jonathan at Mobility Work PT. As a former athlete and skilled physical therapist, Jonathan understood my issues and was able to quickly diagnose them and treat them. The results were immediate, and astounding. I went from not being able to perform my competition lifts without severe pain to pain-free movement. What's more, Jonathan took the time to educate me about my specific issues. He explained what the symptoms were, and what muscles were the cause of those symptoms. He then gave me a set of activities I could do as part of my warm-up and cool-down to increase my mobility and prevent a recurrence of the injuries.That's right: he didn't just fix my problem, he taught me how to prevent the problem from happening again. That is a rare, amazing thing, and speaks volumes about Jonathan's mission: to make people better, and keep them that way.I have since recommended Mobility Work PT to a number of athletes that I coach. They have all experienced success with Jonathan - old injuries rehabilitated, new injuries prevented. Any time I meet someone who is experiencing pain in their muscles or joints, I tell them that they should consider physical therapy with Jonathan. It can be hard, but the results from the work are tremendous: improved quality of life and continued ability to move comfortably in the world are definitely worth it/I thought my injuries had ended my career. But Jonathan showed me that not only could I be treated, but I could learn to keep myself healthy. That is gold, my friends. Less
