As a former pitcher, I thought I knew something about the shoulder. However, I realized very quickly how little I knew when talking with Jonathan and Nick. The team at RPM gave me a Master's level of education on how connected the shoulder is to the pectoral, bicep, tricep, and other muscles I didn't even know I had (I'm looking at you Serratus).

As a former pitcher, I thought I knew something about the shoulder. However, I realized very quickly how little I knew when talking with Jonathan and Nick. The team at RPM gave me a Master's level of education on how connected the shoulder is to the pectoral, bicep, tricep, and other muscles I didn't even know I had (I'm looking at you Serratus). It became evident quickly that I was in the right spot for my recovery. Nick mapped out a very aggressive plan and when my shoulder wasn't responding, we regrouped, backed off and then my recovery took off. Nick is very hands on, a great educator, and gave me easy to understand exercises to further my progress at home. I'm very impressed with RPM. From my 2nd visit, I was greeted by name. The Personal Trainers - thank Aaron - were great to identify my personal goals and find lifts and movements and give me a much better chance of meeting them. If you're hurting or want to ramp up your training a notch or ten, give RPM a call. Less

My 13 year old son had chronic neck and shoulder pain and a host of other issues as a result (eg, headaches). After trying massages and yoga for more than a year without any lasting relief, we sought PT at RPM. My son began working with PTA Nick Calderaro at RPM, and we were both immediately hopeful that a solution was finally in sight. Nick helped my son “unlearn” improper muscle memory and activate and strengthen the correct muscles. My son also worked with Trainer Aaron Pineda in the gym to learn proper weightlifting form and technique. We cannot say enough good things about Nick, Aaron, and the entire RPM team. I am truly so thankful for them. Thanks to them, my son is pain free and has the tools/techniques to stay that way. Less

Years ago, I underwent significant foot surgery on my right foot to address posterior tibial tendonitis. When similar symptoms surfaced in my other foot, I opted to explore alternative healing methods to avoid another surgical intervention. What drew me to RPM from the beginning was their holistic approach. Unlike many doctors who focus solely on localized pain, RPM recognizes the interconnectedness of the body. Megan and John collaborated closely with me to understand and tackle my foot issues. They attentively listened to my concerns and crafted a tailored plan to alleviate pain by strengthening relevant muscles. Their methods included various techniques such as massages, dry needling, and targeted exercises. I appreciated their gradual approach to home exercises, starting with a simple three-exercise routine and progressively expanding it over the course of therapy, ensuring I could stick with it from the beginning. After completing therapy, I transitioned to working with Aaron, my fitness coach. Aaron's patience and attentiveness were remarkable; he met me at my fitness level and meticulously guided me through each exercise, fostering confidence. Despite my initial apprehension about gym environments, Aaron's support has transformed my outlook, and I now enjoy going to my local gym to do my exercises with confidence. RPM embodies a unique approach to pain management and healing. The team not only possesses exceptional expertise and knowledge but also kindness, patience, and empathy. I wholeheartedly recommend RPM to anyone grappling with pain. Less
The entire staff at RPM was welcoming and attentive to my needs. Jonathan was very knowledgeable about all of my ailments. I came in with a shoulder problem that he worked on diligently and augmented work out plans/stretches to fit my needs and access to equipment.
Amazing therapy!! After trouble with my total knee replacement, they were able to put me on a plan and treated me with amazing results.

As far as I can tell, everyone at RPM is dedicated to their patients' success. I am really glad I found them! Less
Originally went in due to neck stiffness and back pain. Come to find out from John S. It was related to a few surgeries I had in the past. Was able to address the shoulder issues causing the problems and after some sessions, left feeling like a new man. Excellent team, and the best service in town! Zero issues since!
I limped into RPM with a terrible case of plantar fasciitis in my right foot. With the care and knowledge of John S., I was able to get back to walking without pain.

When I began to have to lay down for an hour following the task of blow-drying my hair and knew it was time to seek help. RPM are a focused set of professionals who give you undivided, individualized, qualify care, therapy and instruction to move back toward wellness. This one on one care helped ;me to move quickly to be able to preform my activities of daily living as well as pickleball without the debilitating pain I had been experiencing. My advice is: Go NOW! Stop accepting pain, muscle spasms and muscle fatigue as a part of aging. Less

I’m an avid runner who was dealing with some chronic pain in my Achilles and calves. I took a chance on RPM based on the reviews and the fact that they seemed to have a really great team that was focused on getting active people back to full health. I was very happy with the treatment I received at RPM. From the preliminary analysis at my first session and beyond, my physical therapist Megan was super helpful and informative. We honed in on what weaknesses were exacerbating my injuries and how to fix these issues. She communicated what needed to be done clearly and was always available to help with any questions I had. If you put in the work and take their advice, RPM can get you back to full fitness but you absolutely must buy into their program. They will challenge you to get you what is needed to heal from your injuries and will support you to getting back to life injury free. Less

I have been dealing with lower back pain for about 3 years now turned out I had a herniated disk. I went to previous physical therapist , chiropractors, massage therapist, I have had cupping done as well and nothing seemed to alleviate my pain I would go back every month and dealt with pain every day at the point where I could not sit for more than 5 minutes and I was very picky on which chairs I could and could not sit on. After reading many reviews from different places RPM stood out the most so I immediately called to get information. They got me in right away and Megan Waters is the physical therapist that evaluated me and stayed with me through my journey. What stood out to me was that this facility had one on one interactions and they did manual work. After only a few weeks of working with Megan I started to notice big differences. Now I am pain free and can live a normal life again without limitations. I 100% recommend this place They are very friendly and accommodate to your situation as well as exceptional therapist. Thank you so much RPM and Megan ! Less

I’ve been using RPM for personal training and PT for a year now. From the moment I called to schedule an appointment with Flavia to the first time I walked through the doors its been family! Everyone already knew my name and introduced themselves to me. The level of 1 on 1 care and attention you receive here isn’t found any place else. Trust me we’ve helped build building for other PT facilities. Even when I’ve somehow had an injury the day before I’m coming in for personal training I know I don’t have to skip the workout because Josh will adjust the work out and address the injury and I leave feeling back to normal. It’s been the best experience in taking care of my physical health! Megan in PT has helped break up a lot of scar tissue using needling and E-Stem as well as cupping and other manipulations and now my tricep is unhindered by scar tissue and I have full mobility without any pinching. Like I said I would highly recommend RPM. You won’t regret it! Less

On November 27, 2019 I experienced severe shooting nerve pain from my left hip to my big toe and the realization that I had to address some serious lower back issues. Two chiropractors, MRIs and a neurosurgeon later, I was both physically and mentally fatigued and filled with a constant anxiety. Fortunately, RPM Physical Therapy was recommended to me, and with the expertise and care of Megan Waters, I have resumed my athletic and personal activities without fear of being crippled in pain. I’m a much stronger, healthier and happier person. Megan has not only “managed” my muscles into a much better place, but she has provided me with tools and knowledge to be in control of my physical well being. She has and continues to teach me by listening to my concerns and showing me the way. It truly doesn’t get better than that! Deborah Conley Less
I’ve been working with RPM for the past five months now…from top to bottom what a team! Being put on a track for performance I’ve seen improvements across the board in my workouts and overall wellness. It helps that they value the basics but also have embraced new technologies in the fitness realm. Can’t say enough good things about them!

I don't often leave reviews but thought this was worth posting. I had doubts about whether my pain in my foot would go away after 30+ years of plantar fasciitis in my foot. I have seen so many doctors about this and been through many devices and treatments without any improvements. I also incurred another painful injury to my right foot by getting a bruised heel. That’s when I thought I would give your practice a shot at healing me. I had my doubts that I could ever regain any kind of relief after strenuous activity on my feet. Sometimes after playing a round of golf or playing pickleball, I could hardly walk afterwards or the next morning. It could also be as simple as doing chores around the house or getting on a ladder. Many nights or the next morning, I had to have assistance by holding onto something to get across the room as the pain was excruciating. Then, I met with you and you conducted a consultation. You peaked my interest and seemed very confident that we would get this healed. I thought to myself, this could get expensive, but then again, what would it be worth to feel less or no pain? Well, I am happy to say that after just 2 weeks and four sessions with Dr. John Solokas, I feel much better and don’t have the recurring pain after standing all day or playing sports. The treatments have been working and home exercises that he assigned me are actually easy to complete each day. I followed his advice for two weeks and was able to play sports without pain! This past weekend, I worked and stood for over 6 hours on my feet and that night and the next day, no pain! I am an advocate for your practice and will definitely give anyone a referral that needs physical therapy or help with pain. The staff is very accommodating and it’s actually fun to go to the facility and get treatment because it is such a positive atmosphere. Thanks again for all you do and wanted to share this with your team. Less

RPM team has been a God send. Every single one of them. I had shoulder pain and lower back pain since giving birth and Im very sensitive to medications so I just powered through the pain for the most part. I tagged along with my husband when he did his first consult with Jonathan and I was skeptical at first but they proved me wrong. I did not want to pay a hefty $$ if some person is just gona tell me to do exercises at home when I can just search stuff on YouTube. However, RPM is nothing like what I expected. You may be working with one therapist but each team member actually work together to help improve their client’s physical health. John was great. He helped me with my issues and I did not expect how little I had to do to relieve my pain. Then I did their personal training. I had been working with another personal trainer for a little over a year at the time and boy I was glad that I switched to RPM. Josh was basically making me do almost the same exercises that my other trainer was making me do BUT he was correcting me every step of the way. He was correcting my feet alignment, my head position, making sure Im actually activating the right muscles. Meanwhile, my other trainer, he was just standing there, watching me do the exercise. So basically, I realized Ive been doing these exercises incorrectly for a year now. But thanks to RPM, I was able to correctly do these work outs and I got my strength back 💪🏻 since after giving birth. Long story short: If you’re going to invest in your health, RPM is worth every penny Less

I have been suffering from right shoulder pain for nearly 20 years. I saw multiple doctors and the conclusion was always to improve mobility. I worked with a physical therapist about 15 years ago and exercised shoulder muscles under his supervision. I ended up of having stronger muscles but the pain was still there. I also tried massage and chiropractor, but no good results. I thought that I would just live with my shoulder pain. Earlier this year, the situation got worse and I had trouble to control my right hand. My PCP took an X-ray and diagnosed that I might have a neck problem that caused nerve issues. It was very scary. A colleague referred me to RPM. Jonathan discussed with me their treatment philosophy and plan. I really like the philosophy of manual 1:1 therapy and using multiple means of treatment. Given my previous unsuccessful experience, I want to try something different. I worked with Nick Calderaro. What I liked was that he saw your whole body as a system instead of treating the problem in an isolated fashion. More specifically, Nick found out that I have overused some shoulder/back muscles and unused some others. This can cause a lot issues. He then developed a plan to treating my shoulder/back along with treating my arm and neck. After just two sessions, I felt significant improvement! It was almost magic to me. I asked Nick where he (and his colleagues) learned this. He honestly told me that the knowledge of treatment is there and you just need to go out and find it. Nick was very patient to explain how muscles, bones, and nerves work to address my questions. He even sent me a paper! The take-home exercises are very helpful. They don’t look hard but it takes time to master. Each time I visit the clinic, Nick observed me and corrected me until I grasped it. After about 6 visits, my pain was 80% gone. Right now, I have seen them for 11 times, I would say the problem is 95% gone (or completely gone, sometimes it’s hard to tell). Last but not the least, everyone here is very caring and friendly, and the facility was clean and spacious. Overall, I am super happy with my treatment and highly recommend RPM! Less

Dry needling the muscles proved to be very beneficial and was instrumental in my therapy. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. John. He is a skilled communicator, a caring therapist and highly motivated to see you through your pain, whatever it takes. Kudos to Dr. Jonathan Ruzika and his staff for all weighing in on my case.

10 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody on the RPM staff actually cares about you and you're not just another number to them. I thought I needed to have neck surgery and that I'd never be able to golf again.

SUMMARY: I am 50 years old, and I herniated my L4/L5 disk in my back in March 2022 and spent over a month laying on the ground. Megan Waters (Physical Therapist), Joshua Dragna (Personal Trainer), and many others at RPM have helped me heal and get stronger. Now, a year and a half later, I am stronger than ever, my back problem is fully resolved, and I am more physically active than I have been in 15 years. I came to RPM full of pain, fear, and with little hope. They cared about me, provided me therapy, helped me get strong, and have become dear friends. When I got hurt, I thought I was done being an active adult. Now with the tools, knowledge, and support that I have from RPM, I anticipate being active for the rest of my life (I’m back to regularly playing Ultimate Frisbee twice, Pickleball once, and weight training three times per week) DETAILS: In March 2022, I had an unusual pain in my back while playing Ultimate Frisbee. By the end of that day, I had so much pain in my leg that I couldn’t walk, sit, or stand for more than 30 seconds. I couldn’t work, and I ate all my meals while laying on my stomach. I spent the next 3 weeks primarily laying on the floor (laying down provided relief) while seeking help from doctors and physical therapists at another clinic who diagnosed my problem as a L4/L5 herniated disk. After 3 weeks without relief, I was referred by a friend to RPM for help. The morning that my friend contacted RPM on my behalf, one of the Physical Therapist called me while taking his children to school. By the end of that day, Flavia who is the Office Manager, squeezed me in for an evaluation. What I received during those first few visits to RPM was hope that my pain problem was resolvable, I received a plan to help get me off the ground, and I received love and care from all the staff at RPM. I saw my Physical Therapist, Megan Waters, 3 times a week at first. After a few weeks of manual therapy, dry needling, mobility & strength exercises, and becoming educated about my condition, I had my first meal while sitting up. I was ecstatic!! A few weeks later, I was able to start taking some short walks with my wife. By mid-May with Megan’s therapy and guidance and doing the exercises that I was prescribed, I was walking a few miles at a time. Although I was getting stronger and my pain under control, I developed drop-foot which was a result of my herniated disk pressing on the nerve in my back. Megan and the team at RPM counseled me, and I decided that I would go forward with Lumbar Discectomy surgery. After successful surgery, Megan began helping me to recover from surgery and to continue getting stronger. By August 2022, I was doing well enough that Megan turned me over to RPM’s personal trainers, Joshua Dragna and Aaron Pineda, who worked closely with Megan on my strengthening plan. I soon realized that I needed to forget what I thought that I knew about lifting weights as I had a lot of weight training habits that were stressing my joints and ligaments unnecessarily. Josh and Aaron guided me for weeks to strengthen my glutes, core, and mid-back muscles. After those muscles were stable, I begin working on my strength more comprehensively. As of August 2023, I still receive training from those guys periodically, and I have better strength, balance, and body mechanics than I have had in my entire life. Madie, Flavia, and Jonathan keep the clinic running operationally smoothly. I have always felt treated right, and they jump through hoops to accommodate scheduling. Less
Hands down best physical therapist and trainers you will ever find!!! I have been seeing the team at RPM for 3 years now they have helped me recover from two major surgeries, ACL with meniscus repair (2020) as well as a broken acetabulum that was repaired(2022) with a plate and 6 pins.

Hands down best physical therapist and trainers you will ever find!!! I have been seeing the team at RPM for 3 years now they have helped me recover from two major surgeries, ACL with meniscus repair (2020) as well as a broken acetabulum that was repaired(2022) with a plate and 6 pins. I can’t stress this enough but I could not have overcome all this without the amazing team at RPM!!! I am a 31 year old professional wrestler, I started seeing Jonathan and the team at RPM when I was 28, and I am honestly stronger and more athletic now than I was before my injuries. There is not a day that goes by that I do not implement something I have learned from the physical therapist and the trainers on staff. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, they will make you a custom plan of action based on the issues or injuries you have. Health is priority here, this facility doesn’t do temporary fixes, their end goal is long term solutions! Before meeting Jonathan I had a therapist appointed to me from my insurance post ACL repair, they were terrible, unknowledgeable and had me doing exercises that some of the therapist didn’t even know how to do. I didn’t see a lot of improvement and actually messed up a muscle in my back doing exercises prescribed by the PT that my body was not ready for. After talking with Jonathan about what I was going through with the other therapist, I dropped my insurance appointed therapist and paid to see Jonathan out of pocket. I was paying $25 for my insurance appointed therapist and as the saying goes”You get what you pay for”. I noticed a huge difference working with Jonathan compared to my old PT. I didn’t feel like I was just doing pointless exercises in front of a therapist who wasn’t even paying attention. He helped me understand why and how to do the recovery exercises. He even helped explain why my initial injury happened and helped me plan to make sure it didn’t happen again. It felt like someone actually cared because he does! After a full recovery from my ACL and meniscus repair I was ready to wrestle again, however I was involved in a car accident leaving work in January of 2022. I broke my acetabulum and had to have it repaired. The hospital offered me a physical therapist, but I immediately declined. I knew there was only one place that could get me back after a devastating injury like that, so I emailed Jonathan and set up a meeting with him and Megan Waters. They formulated a game plan and gave me hope of being able to wrestle again. Megan has been my therapist for the majority of the recovery for my hip and she is incredible! She curated an amazing road to recovery for me, with everything from needling, cupping, e-stem, breaking down scar tissue on incisions, graston technique, massage, and of course lots of home work exercises (after showing me proper form). She gives you all the tools you need to be successful on your own as well as a good understanding of how and why these methods/ techniques work. I leave each session better than the last. I have also utilized their personal trainers and have been working with Josh for the last 7 months to reach my final goals at the end of this recovery. He has curated a workout plan to implement on the things Megan has been working on and found ways to incorporate workouts specific to the sport I am returning to. I have seen massive improvements in my physique, my strength, and overall mobility. After working out the same way for 14 years he has shown me more effective techniques and always finds new ways to challenge me weekly, making me a more well rounded athlete. thank you guys for being so amazing!!

I've been going to RPM Physical Therapy for over 2 years. I can't say enough good things about Jonathan and his team. Everyone is very knowledgeable and experienced in every aspect of PT and personal training. I work with Nick and Joshua and have seen amazing results with reduced PT issues and improved muscle strength.
I was in excruciating pain and ended up in the ER. I did choose to go out of network for my PT and don't regret it. They were able to identify the issue causing the pain, treat it with physical training, and train me to make helpful changes to be able to keep on running and working out. John the physical therapist, and Aaron the trainer have been amazing!

After a decade of dealing with lower back pain I wanted to jump right into physical therapy as soon as I moved to the area. I had recently found physical therapy to go far beyond the benefits of 6 years of chiropractic treatments. I chose RPM because the training was similar to that of my prior PT. HOWEVER! RPM's excellent and careful program works to build long-lasting strength so that a patient can actually "graduate" from the program by keeping up the disciplines of simple strengthening exercises. And that is my story. I'm working hard to meet my active life goals on my own with all the training from my amazing PT and fitness trainer at RPM. They collaborated on my protocol so we were all communicating clearly and I was able to wrap up my visits and be on my own in about 8 weeks. The RPM team is truly a rare gem. Everyone is so warm and friendly and the office staff is extremely efficient and helpful. Beyond grateful! Less

I'm a 30 year old marathoner and boxer who used to live in Austin. I sustained an injury that was causing pain in my leg and back after moving to Houston. It was extremely frustrating because I couldn't run without pain, and I wasn't sure what the reason was or how to resolve it. After a few months of struggling through the pain, I asked my old Austin PT who I should see in the Houston area. He recommended Jonathan at RPM, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Jonathan took the time to thoroughly examine me, and found that I had soft tissue damage in my lower back and QL band, and my muscles were extremely tight. He worked on them manually to loosen them up, and conducted a few needling sessions for added benefit. He helped me understand my body mechanics better and gave me a comprehensive treatment regimen to ensure I didn't re-injure myself. He also made himself very available for phone calls and questions outside of the office! RPM's facilities are top-notch, and were of great benefit during my treatment. He had me run on their treadmill to analyze my running form, and found that I wasn't leaning in enough, thus putting more pressure on my knees and back, causing the strain. After only 3 sessions with Jonathan and RPM, I was able to fully recover and am now back at full speed! I would highly recommend anyone who's looking for a quality PT to reach out to RPM. Less

I suffered for months with a very painful, swollen right knee that severely restricted my movements. Eventually, I consulted an orthopedic surgeon, but when a diagnosis could not be determined, exploratory surgery was not something I wanted to do. After additional weeks of pain, I met with Jonathan Ruzicka with RPM Woodlands PT in March of 2023 for an initial evaluation. He reviewed my medical test results and assigned me to Dr. Megan Waters with RPM for my physical therapy treatments. Dr. Waters developed a personalized treatment plan which we can tweak whenever it becomes necessary. She is very focused in providing the best physical therapy needed for my recovery. I have learned so much from Dr. Waters about how my body should work and what needs improvement. She is absolutely amazing. Following every treatment my pain and mobility have improved. A home exercise program was developed, which I follow faithfully, utilizing the app with instructional videos provided by RPM. It is now July and I have been walking and bending my right knee for weeks – without pain. All my visits are one-on-one and focused on my care and treatments. The entire staff is friendly, considerate, knowledgeable, and consistently professional. I strongly, and wholeheartedly, recommend RPM Woodlands PT. Less
I came to RPM with lower back pain that my chiropractor wasn’t helping. Jonathan and his team opened up a whole new world of solutions as they worked on me and taught me that exercising the muscles would give relief for the pain. Guess what? It’s working!!

I came to Jonathan at RPM for a shoulder impingement but left with a whole new understanding of how to move and relate to my body. I had been to several therapist without luck but Jonathan was different. He helped me understand how my shoulder issues were tied to weaknesses in my upper back. He showed me how to strengthen and to move correctly. Within months I had achieved a mind body connection with the muscles in my back that I had never before experienced. He is a fount of knowledge and delivers it with clarity and enthusiasm. He meets you where you are and you will never feel judged. My previous therapy experiences had the therapist watching as I did the prescribed exercises that I could easily have done at home. Jonathan is hands on, working out the kinks in the chain, and when it was time to do the exercises he was an incredible coach, and gave me the knowledge and cues to be successful with the home exercises. He taught me that is more than just moving through the prescribed range of motion, it was about activating the muscle in the correct way. I have never been so confident in anyone’s expertise. It’s like I have found a competent mechanic and no longer have to worry that my car is in good hands. Less

It is difficult to list all the positive things about RPM but I’ll try. I decided to try RPM on someone’s advice after 4 days of getting no relief from my PCP. I went in for my first appointment in pain and barely able to walk. Johnathan and John talked to me for a while, identified the problem, and then got to work. They relieved half my pain in 1 session, allowing me to be mobile and sleep comfortably for the first time in 4 days. Over the next approx. 2 months, John provided outstanding care during my sessions with treatments that had instant results. The exercises assigned to me gave me a way to strengthen the muscles around my problem nerve long term, but also provided immediate pain relief, whenever I needed it, if the pain started to return. Each person in their office is friendly and helpful. They outfit you with great resources (their app with instructional videos and a link to message your trainer) to minimize downtime. They adjust your assigned exercises to make the most progress in the shortest amount of time. John was very responsive when I messaged him with questions about my at-home exercises. The best way I can think to summarize my experience with RPM is to say that 1) they have superior understanding and skills to not waste your time; you achieve progress and feel better each time you go to a session because they are masters at their craft 2) comparing my experience going to other PTs after arm and shoulder surgeries to RPM, I can’t imagine having to go somewhere else (night and day difference); 3) the goal is, obviously, to make progress healing, not be in pain, and transition from 2x per week or 3x per week (whatever your schedule is) to infrequent maintenance visits; but John is such a great person and provided such skillful help I will miss my appointments with him nonetheless Less

Seven months ago I was experiencing terrible pain from a pinched nerve in my lower back triggered by running. It hurt to sit, stand, I could hardly walk, and sleeping was nearly impossible. My wife set up an appointment with RPM (as she is already a client) to see what could be done. On my first appointment, Physical Therapist, Megan, was able to pick up on the cause right away and immediately put a treatment plan in action. The plan consisted of needling, massage, stretching and some gentle exercises. As my pain gradually lessened, my strengthening regiment increased, and I started to train with Personal Trainer Josh. I had no idea how bad my running form was and how weak my glutes and core had become. RPM showed me how the body must be in balance or eventually something will break. Over the course of several weeks, the pain subsided and ultimately, I had a full recovery with real improvements in my strength, balance and overall coordination. I got back to running with a much more stable form and more muscle balance. Seven months post injury, I ran The Woodlands 10K March 2023 and was able to win my age group. From barely walking to the podium in seven months, that is the best testimonial. Thank you, Megan, Josh and RPM! Less

It is difficult to express in words how grateful I am to RPM PT. After two traumatic falls in my life and more than a decade living in pain, I had decided that pain was just part of my life. I had tried everything from yoga, chiropractic, steroid injection, to traditional PT with only minor, limited progress. When a friend from church asked me to try RPM, I was reluctant but finally decided to give it a shot. I was immediately struck by the difference in my previous PT experiences. First, I was the only patient, not one of 3. My complex, multi-body part case was not an issue; I wasn’t forced to fit into the “left shoulder” program when my pain moved around. I had never done any of the at home exercises RPM gave me before. Over the past four months, I praise God that I have made incredible progress, beyond what I ever thought possible. I feel like I am getting parts of my life back. I am so thankful and so impressed by the passion, commitment, and innovation of the folks at RPM, esp. Meghan, Jonathan, Trav, Flavia & Jessica who have been so helpful and caring to me on this journey. Less

I thought it would be just like the other folks who show up in a feed, and/or send you stories. This is NOT like the other folks. The staff are genuine and know your name. You are treated like a person, not a patient. I came in for some massive pain in my shoulder, and am only here for a short few weeks from Oregon. They got me in right away with 6 sessions, and gave me a program to follow at home. Each staff person explained to me what they were doing and why, answered my questions, and made me feel heard. Safety, trust and belonging. We all want that. Though I'm not healed of my injury yet (it will take time), I feel like I got the best holistic treatment and am walking away into Oregon with a plan. Seriously, if I had enough money to give them to open a franchise in my area of Oregon - I'd do it in a nano second. I wish I lived here in The Woodlands just for this place. Jonathan, John, Megan: thank you so much for working so hard with me, helping me do my own work at home, and for the passion you have for the work you do. Jessica and Flavia: you were both quick and efficient at scheduling and reminders, and so much more. To watch you move around the space and make sure everyone has what they need - being proactive.

Jonathan and his team at RPM Physical Therapy were referred to me by a friend, and his services have been a tremendous asset to my family over the years! RPM is not your typical physical therapy clinic - Jonathan's crew has a very deep knowledge of kinesiology, body motion, physical recuperation and strength training. Most importantly, Jonathan's ultimate goal is to teach you how to get healthy and teach you the steps needed to stay that way on your own! Regardless, once you have been to RPM his team becomes your life-long partner in your mobility journey. For my son (collegiate athlete), the RPM team has been crucial to helping him work through and alleviate various growing pains and issues over the years and keep him on the field throughout high school. Most recently, he had a knee issue his first year at college (last year) that significantly impacted his ability to train with is college baseball team. Although it didn't require surgery (which Jonathan correctly diagnosed before the MRI), it was a potential career ending issue. This past summer, Jonathan's team spent a few sessions working with him to address and recuperate from the pain and then they focused on re-training him with his weight room and general mechanics to build up the knee and surrounding parts. This fall back at college, he is now the strongest underclassmen and stronger than half of the upperclassmen in the baseball program! For my daughter (high school age), the RPM team has been crucial to her recovery with a number of soccer-related injuries and other challenges associated with have a rapidly growing body at this age. We count on RPM to get her back on the pitch as quickly as possible! For me (late 40s), the RPM team has been crucial to assisting me with the process of getting older - not being able to do things that I used to or the way that I used to. Jonathan and his team have assisted me with back, hip and knee pain and helped get me back to a pain-free, functioning state while teaching me to be more aware of my body motion and mechanics to avoid injury as well. For my family, RPM Physical Therapy is the only partner we'll ever need for our mobility needs. I highly recommend this talented staff. Less

When I see someone walking, like into a store or church, and they are slightly bent over, walking in a way to probably try to protect an area of pain they are in, I wish they knew about RPM. A year and a half ago I was walking the same way. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said that he felt the path for me would be to try physical therapy, then a shot in my hip, and then most likely surgery for a hip replacement. This shocked me. I started with his physical therapy which helped some, but soon realized I needed to get the shot. The relief from the shot lasted a short time, and I was looking at needing a hip replacement. I felt defeated. I told my husband that I felt like my active life as I had known it was over, and we were both very sad. He began researching solutions that did not involve surgery. He found RPM. After talking to a very informed person who answered the phone, Flavia, he discovered a place that coupled Physical Therapy with Training. What we learned was that the Physical Therapist works on the areas of concern, and then the Physical Therapist works with the Trainer to put together a plan. They then work as a team to strengthen those areas, being very attentive to how the body is reacting to each manual manipulation and movement. Jonathan is the owner of RPM and started me on my journey towards healing. He is very informative and determined, describing what specific muscle is being addressed, and showing how it all links together using skeletal models and pictures. Megan is my Physical Therapist, and she has been amazing. During my sessions she is single focused on me, ready with the plan to accomplish the goals for the day. She is kind and dedicated, but no nonsense when it comes to doing what is needed to get me well. I don’t always like it, but I trust her completely. John T is my Trainer. He, too, is ready with the plan for the day. He is very attentive to my every move, ensuring I am doing each movement as it should be done, and adjusting the training as we go along to continually improve my strengthening. As I am now starting to transition from their care to doing things on my own, John went with me to a gym to show me how to use the facility to continue returning to my active lifestyle. Megan and he also viewed workout videos that I liked doing before my pain issue to make sure they would not cause any problems. When I look back at where I started to where I am now, I am truly amazed. I told both Megan and John that they have assisted God in a miracle. I couldn’t be more grateful. Less

Another 5 star review! Really? The last time I hired someone with unanimous 5 star reviews my newly installed roof leaked...twice! Well my story was one of painful desperation, unsure of where to turn and who to trust. I herniated my L4/5 disc (as shown on my MRI) again after 14 years of chiropractic maintenance with some occasional flare-ups. The usual treatment proving entirely ineffective. My past experience with other physical therapists left me walking with a limp, so I had my hesitation. The pain I was experiencing was just intensifying with some added excruciating hip pain leaving me barely able to walk or stand for more than 30 seconds at a time. I have always been an active person, hiking, biking, kayaking, working out, SHOPPING! So the excruciating hip and nerve pain leaving me almost entirely immobile and unable to sleep scared me into trying something new. Resting on the couch wasn't helping either. I found RPM through a Google search and after reading similar stories to mine I decided to call for a consultation. Megan's calm confidence put me at ease when she told me in addition to my herniated disc I clearly had SI joint dysfunction, WHAT? So my hip pain was finally validated and not brushed off as disc nerve pain, though I had that as well. I was a bit skeptical at first but decided to give it a go. My next alternative would be injections for pain management, which she told me was unnecessary. I was given an exercise routine that made me cringe since I was still unable to walk and stand at that point. Could I trust yet another doctor who knew what was best for me? My 1st PT session of manual therapy, digging out muscles and dry needling gave me some relief, to my surprise and my condition began to improve after every session. Now those exercises, ugh, I did them twice a day, everyday, and continue my routine today, they HELP so much. The exercises never caused any pain, to my surprise. I thought I was going to prove the treatment plan to be utterly ineffective. I was too far gone in my mind. Well, today my pain is gone and I am able to walk my dog, grocery shop, sleep, and stand to cook meals, without injections or surgery. Megan and RPM are truly heaven sent. Now, I still have some rehab to do and continue to give my weclomed feedback but I couldn't be more thankful for their incomparable knowledge and expertise. For the first time in decades, my hips are aligned and I have the tools and exercises to help if something should get out of whack again. My muscles are also strengthened and supporting my lumbar spine like never before. Megan has treated my entire body helping it to function properly for the 1st time in many, many years. I feel as though I have been given my life back and I am so grateful to have found Megan and RPM Physical Therapy. Less
First of all, let me preface this by saying that I was very sceptical that physical therapy would help. I have an old back injury and at the beginning of this year I gradually started having pain running down my leg from sciatica due to bulging discs.

First of all, let me preface this by saying that I was very sceptical that physical therapy would help. I have an old back injury and at the beginning of this year I gradually started having pain running down my leg from sciatica due to bulging discs. It got worse and worse as the weeks went by to the point that not even laying down would alleviate the pain in my leg. I tried the spinal injections that usually worked for my back pain but wouldn't do much for sciatic pain. I was also prescribed different meds that didn't help much. This continued until it culminated in a couple ER visits for the blinding pain one night. The pain eventually subsided but I lived with anxiety waiting for it to come back and with peroneal neuropathy that left me limping severely. I was very concerned that I would never get the function in my foot back since it would drag when I would walk. My husband made this appointment after doing research and he said they had good reviews. We went in and after consulting with Megan and Johnathan, I started to have hope. This really is a bespoke treatment to you. We discussed options I would be comfortable with and we started treatment a couple times a week. It really was an investment in my health and wellbeing. Right away I was shown exercises that I can do at home and relearned how to bend safely. After some time I noticed the return of function to my foot and I had reduced anxiety. It really gives you peace of mind to see progress when you were resigned to live with the nerve damage. Today I have regained almost all my foot function and am no longer limping. I know that my sciatica may flare up again but I feel like now I have the tools to be able to deal with what may come. I continue to strengthen my body now with regular training with a team that understands the state of my body and works to safely strengthen the muscles that support my back. Both Megan and Josh are supportive and encouraging. Flavia also is very friendly and attentive when I come visit. If you're living in pain give RPM an opportunity to help you regain your mobility.

I noticed they had trainers as well so I asked if they accept any client since I had been looking for a personal trainer. One of the best questions I’ve asked. Steve has been nothing but kind, funny, motivating, knowledgeable and a great listener. I ended up figuring out what happened to my lower back a few years ago through them and have been on Megan’s table a few times for PT. She is sweet, sincerely concerned and has strength so don’t let her slim physique fool you! You can’t forget about Flavia who sets my sessions up among other things and the man with the plan, Jonathan. I can’t thank you all enough for the positive changes that have occurred in my life since I met everyone. When in doubt, stick your butt out!! Less

She has been absolutely incredible and honestly the best thing to come out of this experience. Since we first arrived, Megan never once made me feel uncomfortable and was extremely understanding to my situation. She is kind, funny, and has been very attentive to any issues I have had. Really, everyone we met at RPM was incredible- I even think I might be sad once my physical therapy is over. RPM and the people working there have created a great environment for their patients and I cannot recommend Megan enough to anyone else seeking physical therapy. Less

Having tried PT a few times before and not having any success I was a bit skeptical but Jonathan immediately identified the root of the problem and explained it to me in way that was easy to understand.

Not only did I get the results I wanted, but I found the facility to be clean, well equipped and the entire staff to extremely helpful and personable.

Amazing results! That is how I would start this review.. Now let me give you the details. I dealt with a severe ache deep in my right glute for about a year and one half. During this period, I visited three medical doctors to include two pain management doctors in the Woodlands and one Orthopedic surgeon that included an MRI. I had two steroid injections during this period only to have the incredible pain redevelop in about 6 weeks post injection. I was reaching a point of thinking that I would simply have to live with this issue. A business associated dealing with a similar issue had visited RPM and was seeing great results. I met with the owner, Dr. Jonathan Ruziicka who was confident that they would be able to address the Real issue of why this pain was persisting. I was skeptical, not because of his credentials, but simply because of my previous experiences discussed. My therapy was directed to Dr. Megan Waters. Megan, Dr. Waters, is now my savior and I am looking forward to an elk hunt in September, that I thought I would never do again. My first sessions were a bit to deal with as the therapy had to deal with deep muscular therapy. She never once doubted that the approach would yield anything but positive results. Her style is confident and her personality is fun and yet totally professional. She loves was she does and it comes across in many ways. I am now out of pain and back in the training center getting stronger again. I see Dr. Waters now only about once every two to three weeks. The staff at RPM to include Flavia and Becca always work to accommodate my crazy schedule, and they make you feel like family when you enter the facility. This is not always the case in the Woodlands medical facilities. My trainer, John, is high quality and always completely prepared for my sessions. My 5 stars are very deserving. This review is a bit long, but it merits the time I have taken to write it, and the firm is deserving of the accolades given here. Change your pain life-or at least consult with RPM to see if they are the right fit. Less

With every pregnancy (this is my 3rd) I have had major back pain and joint problems that made it incredibly hard to walk. I tried chiropractic care, but it was always a temporary fix and the pain would come back just a day or two later. Trying to take care of 2 kids while being pregnant, I knew I needed to try something different. I am SO thankful I found RPM! Before RPM, I could hardly walk without my leg feeling like it was popping out of place. I couldn’t go up or down the stairs to put my kids to bed because my leg would give out and I would almost fall down the stairs in such pain. I couldn’t bend over even when I was just a few weeks pregnant and I could hardly get up out of bed without pain. Through the amazing Megan’s help at RPM, I feel like a new person and it has transformed my back and joints! I can literally bend down better than I could before I was pregnant. I’m 36 years old and 37 weeks pregnant and I don’t think my back has ever been this strong in my life! I am so very appreciative for the extremely attentive staff at RPM (especially Megan) for helping me to get back to normal life! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Less

I had been suffering from degradation in the mobility of both of my shoulder joints for several years. It had reached the point where it was painful to lift my arms above my head or behind my back. Simple activities like playing catch with my grandsons ( which was tough given that I played collegiate baseball) or getting my belt through the back loop in my pants were extremely painful. I waited far too long to address the issues I was experiencing because I felt certain I needed double rotator cuff surgery to correct the problem and I was simply deferring that course of treatment. Through a friend I learned about Ruzicka Performance and Mobility and decided to take the first step of having a consultation with Jonathan Ruzicka. I was thoroughly impressed with his immense knowledge and practical explanation of what was happening in my shoulder joint and extremely excited in his belief that he could address my pain and mobility with having to pursue the surgical option. I immediately signed up for 6 weeks of bi-weekly therapy sessions which focused on all the critical parts of both shoulder joints. Let me stress….this is not massage therapy!! This is aggressive physical therapy addressing root causes of immobility and pain in my shoulder joints. After 6 weeks, we shifted to once a week for physical therapy and twice a week of focused training exercises with one of Jonathan’s training specialist, Steve Johng. Training sessions have focused on strength and mobility in my shoulders coupled with a full body workout tailored to my specific needs. The results thus far have been encouraging. I know longer have pain or mobility restrictions in my right shoulder ( back to throwing baseballs without pain) abs my left shoulder continues to improve with the current program. RPM has proven to be the clear right choice versus any surgical option. Update 11/21- I am now 5 months into my PT program and the results have been extraordinary. Bottom line, both of my shoulders are essentially pain free with marked improvement in flexibility and strength in shoulders and upper body. I’ll confess, I thought I had tissue damage, particularly in my left shoulder, and was convinced I would always have some level of pain regardless of the PT efforts. I was Wrong!!!! The combination of the work that Jonathon has done to manipulate the structure and muscle tissue in the area coupled with the focused weight and movement training that Steve has done in the gym, has resulted in the unexpected results I described above. I encourage anyone grappling with pain, strength, mobility, or flexibility issues to give RPM a chance to help you overcome your issues. By the way, they just relocated to a state-of-the-art new facility with a complete range of capabilities. Less

I first started going to RPM with complaints of an aching pain in my lower back which, as a competitive junior golfer, served as a major hindrance to my performance. There were times when I would have to leave practice early or withdraw from tournaments due to pain. While I am still in to see Jonathan Ruzicka on a regular basis for the required tune-ups that come with being an athlete, my back feels better than I can remember it ever feeling in the last several years. The care is highly personalized and the team will stop at nothing to find the best route of treatment for YOUR body specifically rather than a one-size-fits-all program that many PT places will assign. If there’s one thing I know about Jonathan it’s that he will never be satisfied with himself and his work until his clients are. If I come in one week with sudden returning pain, he almost takes it personally — he sees it as a challenge to his own skills and will dive head-first into that challenge without hesitation. Your care will never be divided amongst other clients’ as it often is at many PT places — your hour is yours alone. Flavia is highly flexible with accommodating appointments to my busy and ever-changing schedule. RPM has become not only a place that helps me feel my best but a place where I can feel safe to ask for advice, voice my opinions, and even dish gossip every once in a while. Jonathan and Flavia have created a welcoming atmosphere complete with people who care deeply about their work and have a passion for movement and physical therapy. RPM is perhaps the only PT place where I don’t feel like I know more than the employees do ;) Less

Not only is the tendonitis gone, but I have more shoulder and thoracic mobility than I’ve had in 10-15 years. While some of the manual therapy was mildly painful, I looked forward to the sessions because I knew that I would leave with a better understanding of my own body and postural habits that were likely contributors to my issues. I would highly recommend Jonathan and will happily return in the future. He is without question the most knowledgeable physical therapist I have ever worked with. Less

RPM Physical Therapy has been a lifesaver for me! This team has been incredible in so many ways and they came into my life at just the right time. I had exhausted so many avenues trying to get to the bottom of the source of my pain and dealing with different ways to try to alleviate my pain. I’ve had issues with back and neck pain most of my adult life but have always had success for the most part with chiropractic and massage treatments. But since 2013 when I very suddenly began having somewhat debilitating knee problems during a season of pretty intense Boot Camp training, I started developing pain in my legs, hips, lower and upper back and neck that progressively became worse and worse over the years. I saw all the specialists, got all the X-rays and MRI’s, had all the tests, did all the treatments and exercises and nothing seemed to be helping. Back in February of this year, through a few different circumstances, I found RPM and from the first Discovery Session with Jonathan (and really, even before that when I first talked to Flavia on the phone:), I knew I had hit on something special and unique and that this was a course of treatment that I needed to invest in. I was ALL in and only because I felt very assured by Jonathan that he and his team were completely invested in helping me to become better and as close to pain free as possible. It seems like it’s been a long haul, as it is now the middle of June and I started treatments and training 4-1/2 months ago, but in the big scope of things, considering how many years I have been suffering with chronic pain, it’s really been a very short time. I can now say that I have experienced some pain free days that have given me so much hope and make me want to continue the journey of loosening, strengthening and developing the different areas of my body that are in desperate need of attention and care. THE RPM PT team have given me the tools I need to help me manage this journey on my own but still with their ongoing support and encouragement whenever it is needed. Jonathan is an amazing physical therapy doctor who performs complete hands on manual treatments that work wonders alongside the exercises that he teaches you that do the necessary job toward strengthening and healing. He is an extremely knowledgeable, kind and fun person who cares about you intensely and who will stop at nothing to get you to the place you need to be! Flavia is Jonathan’s right hand assistant who is also kind and caring as well as very smart and knowledgeable about the PT practice and manages the practice fluidly and flawlessly like a well-oiled machine! Nick is a terrific trainer with a heart of gold who cares so much about your physical well-being. He is serious about his job and gives it everything he’s got, but he’s also a really nice guy and so fun to be around. He makes it easy well, sort of) to come back time and time again for his kickass training sessions. Shout out to Alison, who came alongside Nick in the training process to assist, support and encourage me in everything! She’s awesome! And to Briel at the front desk who is a sweetheart at all times! She’s there to help with anything! And Steve the head trainer and Megan the new Physical Therapist are also a huge part of the team and likewise deserve a shoutout! I highly recommend this group of awesome people for all of your aches and pains to help you become the best you can be physically! And just remember, you are just as much a part of the team as they are!! In other words, you have to be willing to do the work to get the needed results! Less

After Achille’s tendon surgery along with three other tendon tears in my ankle, I began standard PT with my one goal to simply walk normally again. Several months later I was still limping and feeling frustrated that the PT avoided any sort of manual therapy. It seemed like they gave me exercises to keep me “busy” so they could deal with all their other patients. Honesty, I was scared of getting hurt and regressing back to where I started. Thankfully, I discovered RPM- what a GAME-CHANGER! From my initial conversations with Flavia, to individualized manual treatments with Jonathan, and personal training with Nick, I received the highest quality of service and genuine care. They asked questions, listened to what I said, and worked cohesively to teach me proper form on my exercises. Jonathan personalized and adjusted each exercises, so I could do them safely and without pain. He taught me how important hip mobility and strength is to the rest of my body and how to replace some of my bad movement habits with better ones. Nick backed up and built on what Jonathan taught and tweaked the exercises to help with my joint pain. I’m delighted to say my gait is nearly normal and i now have the knowledge and understanding I need to continue building strength and stay out of pain as I enter my mid-fifties. Discovering RPM has enabled me to get a handle on my other joint pain by managing my mobility and stability without surgery. When I need a “tune up” I know where to go! Couldn’t be more thankful for RPM! Less

My son has seen many physical therapists and been dealing with knee pain for the past few years. As a college distance runner, it has been very frustrating to work with PTs and then have the knee pain come back when he starts running again. When he started with RPM, we were hopeful, but figuring on getting the same results we've had from other therapists. RPM was definitely different. Jeff and Jonathan were awesome. They taught my son exactly what was causing his pain, how to strengthen the affected areas, and how to stretch and train on his own. He has been running long distances for the past several months without any more pain. I highly recommend RPM. Less

Jonathan has helped me to be able to walk without pain through therapy and mobility exercises and stretches. And Nick continues to kick my butt weekly through training sessions.

I suffered from excruciating pain in my hip joint and was told that I needed surgery to replace my hip. My daughter did some research and found RPM Physical Therapy and secured an appointment for me. I reluctantly went and listened to Jonathan confidently tell me that he could fix me without surgery; I was skeptical but I thought it was worth a try to avoid the knife. After three appointments I started feeling relief from the pain and could actually sit in my office chair and sleep at night, two things I hadn't been able to comfortably do for several weeks. My hip pain is totally gone now and I am back to snow skiing and water skiing. RPM's service was so good, I signed up for ongoing visits to address some shoulder that I am having--I also signed up for continued physical training from a great staff at RPM. All of the RPM team is very friendly and accommodating. If they say they can fix you, they will. If your injury requires other medical attention, they will advise you in that direction as well. I rarely write reviews or give recommendations, in fact this is the first one I've ever done. But, I can't recommend the team at RPM enough--this team is the real deal. Less

I have had shoulder issues for as long as I can remember and I have been to physical therapy a number of times and in a number of states. I can say without hesitation that RPM has been the best place for physical therapy that I have attended. I’ve been to place that work you in while they are attending to three or four other patients. Not at RPM, the attention is one on one and the focus is entirely on you. I’ve been to places that listen to you for a few minutes and then jump right into exercises. Not a RPM, they not only listen to you but they go beyond by asking pointed questions to understand every facet of what is going on and where you want to get back to. The experience here is unlike anything I have had in the past. The focus on soft tissue and mobility is directly related to their in depth understanding of how the body functions. I can’t say enough good things. Professionalism comes through in every facet. Jonathan is an amazing therapist and Flavia keeps the operational side humming. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. Not only is my shoulder feeling good but they have given me the tools to keep it feeling that way. Less

They educate you on your body and teach you how to manage issues moving forward. I have been dealing with back issues for 15 years. Jonathan taught me how to recover quicker when my issue arises, how to retrain my body for proper movement, and how to stretch and strengthen the supporting muscles to avoid issues in the future.

My husband is an avid golfer and all-around active guy. He started going to RPM Physical Therapy for some back and hip pain that was keeping him from playing golf the way he wanted to. Right away he saw results and was able to get back into the swing of things. Just from my husband's results, I knew that they were a quality place to go but it wasn't until went in for my hip and shoulder pain that I knew they were the highest quality team I'd seen thus far. Not only has Jonathan helped diminish my hip and shoulder pain, but I've been able to start a challenging regimented exercise program with his personal trainers. Both Steve and Nick are absolutely incredible and knowledgeable about what to work on and what works best. I had no idea how many "simple" exercises I was doing wrong that were actually contributing to my hip and shoulder pain before coming to RPM. They showed me how to modify movements to get better muscle activation and make it so that I get a good, quality workout every time I go. I would 100% recommend! Less

As an athlete, dealing with chronic pain can be infuriating and incredibly limiting. RPM understands this on an impactful level, and has been dedicated to helping me overcome my issues. This has allowed me to live a happier, less painful life, and gives me the opportunity to pursue my athletic endeavors in a capacity greater than I thought previous to seeing them. I have mainly worked with Jeff, and can say that he is an incredibly knowledgeable PT. He has helped me understand the way my body works, and taught me actions that replace pain inducing movements with modifications that are healthier long term and reduce pain. Along with this, their flexibility with hours, kindness, and support have been invaluable to me. Pain sucks. Jeff and Jonathan are the guys to see if you want to take control of yours. Less
Their care, knowledge, and professionalism is unmatched. They were able to help me overcome my back pain and return to collegiate level training. The kindness and care of the staff is amazing and made my time in PT enjoyable. Highly recommend!

After a lifetime of intense workouts, I underwent two total knee replacements three months apart at age 59. My goal was to get back to my hard workouts. I was disappointed with the rehab for my first knee done at an orthopedic clinic. My entire therapy consisted of standard knee replacement exercises printed from a database that I was told to do in therapy sessions as well as at home on my own. I felt neglected in therapy because my Physical Therapist had several other patients to attend to at the same time as me. After discharge, I discovered that I couldn’t do my workout because my back hurt so much, even though my knee was ok. When I elected to have the second knee done, I did some research and found out that I needed hands-on manipulation as well as personally tailored exercises by a therapist specifically trained to meet my need to return to my previous intense level of workout ability. I also discovered that the physical therapist one chooses is just as important as the choice of orthopedic surgeon for optimal post-surgical results. I chose RPM to rehab my second knee. Each session is one-on-one in a private room with a manually trained therapist, and is specifically tailored to your post-op goals, their manual assessment and a very detailed history. Jeff was very thorough. He listened carefully as I explained all the exercises in my workout. All of the sessions were mostly tissue manipulation and also a few minutes of making sure I was performing my home exercises with correct form. I left each session feeling well cared for and knowing exactly where I was in my personalized care plan in relation to getting back to my workout goal. My eight weeks are completed and I am now back to my previous intense workout. I know that I can go back to RPM anytime I need help maintaining my active lifestyle, since it’s more of a challenge to stay injury-free as one advances in age!

This clinic is what physical therapy should be. Very professional and very interactive. The staff are extremely knowledgeable. I’ve suffered from chronic back pain for a couple of years and have been to several other PT clinics, and none of them come close to the level of knowledge and care this place gives their patients.

I am 28 years old suffering from sciatica issues due to a bulging disc I have on L4-L5. I been dealing with the issue for over 10 months. Had tried 3 different chiropractors along with some massage therapy but my pain was not getting better. Would go to sleep with pain and wake up in pain. Numbing, tingling, cramping and tightness on my legs. When I started my therapy sessions at RPM the pain started to decrease. I still have good days and bad days. After my physical therapy (15-16 sessions) I signed up for 2 months of personal training, I can definitely say my strength to be able to lift the proper way has improved dramatically. I am not at a point where I can go back to the same physical activity I was before, I am still keeping up with my home workouts that Jeff and Jonathan have recommended. I am hoping with enough time to keep healing I will return to normal. If you are going thru the same do give them a chance, I may not be completely where I wanted but I definitely don’t think is from the quality of the therapy. However I did make progress/relief where no one else was able to give me. Each therapy feels personalized and you get the attention you may need. Dealing with pain can be depressing but these guys will keep you going! Its a whole team, I mainly worked with Jeff and Nick (great personal trainer)but everyone its involved in making sure you are getting better(Flavia, Steve, Greg). Jeff and the whole team helped me get educated on why injuries happen and how the body works in conjunction. At RPM they care for their patients and want you to get better. I hope this helps you!

I started working with Jonathan, Jeff and Flavia at RPM Physical Therapy about two months ago. I was dealing with chronic mid and low back pain, intense muscle tightness and pain in my right leg that woke me up at night and general weakness in my right leg due to knee surgeries. I have been working almost exclusively with Jeff Tsao since I started working with RPM. Once Jonathan and Jeff diagnosed what I have been dealing with and how they would treat me, Jeff worked to re-train my body to use the "right" muscles, trained me to be more aware of my movements and body positioning, and then did the things that only physical therapists can, i.e., stretching muscles you don't know you have and that are nearly impossible to stretch yourself, but that cause all sorts of problems if neglected. I have worked with a number of physical therapists over the years, but RPM are truly the best I have worked with. They created a plan aimed at fixing me long-term and it's working. I have not ever felt like they were just going through motions with me, or that they have a one-size-fits-all approach. I have had four surgeries requiring intensive PT after each one, and some of my problems today are due to working with physical therapists who weren't particularly invested in my recovery. That won't happen at RPM. Working with RPM won't always feel good, but it's the right kind of pain that prevents injury and pain everyday. Less

I live in Victoria and I was struggling with lower back issue and accompanying nerve pain down my leg for almost a year. After working for 40+ years I had finally reach my goal of retiring. My plans were for a highly active retirement. My planned activities consisted of; gardening, home improvement project, wood working, clearing and developing some land I had purchased and most important of all playing with grandchildren. These plans were now in doubt and my vision of an active retirement started to vanish. The culprit, my lower back problems. I went to a chiropractor a couple of times, but this gave me no relief or improvement. I researched and went to the highest rated local Physical Therapist for six weeks. This gave me some relief and improvement. The physical therapist gave me a series of stretching exercises. This gave me temporary relief of pain and improvement in my range of motion. As soon as I returned to my desired activities, the lower back pain returned. This was in spite of the fact that I had continued to do the exercises given to me by the Physical Therapist. I was discouraged and frustrated. I started to consider back surgery. My son-in-law recommended I talk to Dr. Ruzicka at RPM Performance and Mobility. Even though they are located 150 miles from my home, I decided to see what they had to say and what they could do for me. Best decision I could have possibly made! Dr. Ruzicka’s approach was different. He focused on addressing the underlying causes of my pain. Through Dr. Ruzick’s program, I gained strength in my core and leg muscles. I learned the proper ways of movement. By utilizing my core and leg muscles, I keep stress off of my lower back. I am now able to participated in all of my desired activities and enjoy the retirement I had planned. DR. Ruzicka and the RPM Performance and Mobility staff set a new standard for customer / client focus. The friendly and professional environment they create is second to none. Simply put, you become part of their extended family. Less

Like many of the reviewers said, they educate you on the cause of problem and equip you with the tools/techniques to manage the pain by yourself should you need it. I never saw this with anyone. They truly treat you with the care you deserve and are genuinely focused on improving your quality of life. I cant recommend them enough Oh and Flavia is awesome! Less

Not much can be successful when they are assigned two or three patients at the same time. I was introduced to the RPM staff and contracted with their rehab for my specific needs. This was not my first rodeo. I am 85 y.o. and have had both knees replaced and lumbar area back repair and fused. The treatment RPM provided was intense and caring for what my needs were. Each treatment session lasted a full hour with it being one on one. By the end of my contracted sessions I was in much better shape and less pain. I was given specific exercises to follow through with at home. I could not have found better therapy anywhere in this area. Thank you Jonathan and Jeff for showing you cared about my recovery and providing an awesome job. Less
The RPM team is amazing! My therapist showed me several exercises to help my long history of back pain and they have been making a huge difference in my life. He is also super nice and funny, and makes me feel very comfortable. The receptionist is so sweet too! Great place! I highly recommend RPM!
Jonathan is a miracle worker! I always wish I'd gone to see him sooner when my back pain flares up. He knows exactly what to do get me moving easier, and what exercises to send me home with to continue the rehab.

While I only had two physical therapy sessions with Jeff, the insight and acumen he possessed about muscles and how to curtail the pain and discomfort I felt astounded me. Through Jeff's advice & exercises my pain has already diminished, and I feel much more confident that I'm targeting the correct muscles in the gym. Flavia and Brenden are also exceptional employees who make you feel at ease promptly. Brenden, a personal trainer, under his own volition struck up a conversation with me and aided me in correcting my form for various exercises. Despite my limited time with him, I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of an affable and sagacious personal trainer. Less

Do you always stand so that your spine is in great alignment? Do you always stand so your weight is on your heals? Do you always bend to lift items using the strongest best muscles and posture to help you from hurting your back? No? Well, neither was I until I went to RPM Physical Therapy. Jonathan and his staff are committed to helping us achieve personal goals. My main goal was to bend, exercise, sit and lift so my back would not hurt. I thought my back pain was inevitable because as an OR nurse, I was constantly lifting, pulling, and moving patients and hospital beds that were so much bigger and weighed too much for me to be lifting. But, sometimes in the OR there is no other answer than to "just do it". They work with you on a personal level to watch/observe just how you are moving, bending, squatting, and lifting to help and advise you on how you can do these thing so much better. i assure you, you will always be glad you worked with them. I certainly am. Less

He had diagnosed my condition and immediately went to work. Not only physically helping me improve and relieve my issue with every visit. John also informed me with so much knowledge that will help me far into the future not only with my knee issues but my over health as well. I highly trust/recommend his practice and team. D.

I had been seeing medical doctors before I came to the RPM facility. While a few said the problems I had were age-related and as such to be expected, others said exercise was the way to go. I was not going to be relegated to the “take it easy and relax do nothing group” because doing so is the quickest way to start nature's relatively quick vegetative process from which there little or no return back to a reasonable quality of life at my age - in a few very short weeks I will turn 90 years of age. So, without any hesitation, I chose the exercise route. The problem was, I did not know at the time where to get the best exercise(s) tailored specifically for me by medically trained technicians who knew what they were doing. My youngest daughter and her husband are patients of the RPM facility - both have been helped greatly by by the dedicated RPM staff. It was my daughter that, after persistently trying with a lot of tenacity on her part over a several week period, finally got me to come to the RPM facility for an evaluation by the two Doctorates. The two Doctorates discussed my physical problems between themselves such that I was also able to participate in the discussion through my questions and answers. So, through participation, I became a part of the solution as to what could be done to fix or otherwise alleviate physically related mostly arthritic problems. I, the author of this commentary, came to these RPM people for help during August 2019 with several different mostly arthritic-related physical problems that sometimes were causing me a real discomfort. I accepted their findings and recommendations and have not looked backwards since. I am steadily improving in performance and mobility. I got used to being in shape during my military life, and at 80 years of age, took up Tai Kwon Do martial arts for the most beneficial cardiac and weight bearing exercises available to me. I had to quit martial arts after almost nine years because of sciatica and arthritis in the hands, knees, and shoulders that caused unacceptable performance and mobility problems. The ever-present arthritis-related problems are being successfully addressed by the RPM staff, for which I am most grateful. I feel my strength, energy and endurance coming back a bit stronger every day that I spend at the RPM facility - with a most sincere thanks to the RPM staff working with me. Flavia keeps me on schedule and readily answers many of my questions, she is a very knowledgeable degreed people-oriented and job-oriented person that is not shy at all about helping other people. Brenden, my trainer, also very knowledgeable, is working on his master’s degree in sports management. He puts me through different exercises that were tailored by the two Doctorates to cope with my specific arthritic problems. He works me hard and daily tests my limits - I feel relaxed but tired when I leave. I don't know what I'm supposed to feel like at my age, but the fact is I feel better every day that I spend at the RPM facility. They work me hard, so, as a result I feel very much like I really worked out, but at the same time I feel relaxed and have good thoughts about the workout and how improved I feel after the workouts. Jeff is one of the two Doctorates of Physical Therapy that got me ready for the workouts. Jeff, like all the others, is most knowledgeable in how the body's muscles, skeletal bones, and nerves interact with one another. He has fingers of literal steel (I'm not joking). Jonathan is the owner and CEO of the RPM Company and also has a Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy. Jonathan is very knowledgeable in the body's muscle, skeletal, and nerve functions. He puts that very much in-depth knowledge and his many related skills to daily use in benefiting the many patients at the RPM facility. Great bunch of people, well worth knowing! Less

The pain was debilitating and affecting my daily activities to the point I didn’t want to do anything. Jonathan and Jeff quickly diagnosed me and in a matter of a few weeks, I was feeling better and stronger. Here’s the thing though, they teach you lifestyle changes and exercises that will enable you to stay healthy and pain free. I’m now working out again and getting stronger and stronger.

For a fitness fanatic and recently retired dance teacher, little aches and pains are just a way of life. What I thought was an overworked glute was ignored for years until the pain shot down my leg and wrapped around my foot. The final straw was a 6-hour car trip that nearly brought me to tears. I finally had to admit something was terribly wrong! My fitness instructor recommended Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka so I gave it a shot. I was skeptical. I’ve done physical therapy. You go, pay a co-pay and someone shows you an exercise, tells you how many reps to do and then tells you they’ll be back to check on you. Boy was I surprised! One on one treatment for a full hour and the best part…. after my second session I literally broke down at fitness class “I’m not in pain!” I wasn’t magically cured but I was about 85% better just after 2 days of hands-on manual therapy. Jonathan gave me at home exercises to strengthen my glutes and not allow the rest of my body to overcompensate. We also worked on a plan on how to correct my form in class to avoid problems in the future. It has been 6 weeks as of today and I can stretch, sit and watch tv, and ride in a car without pain. I am looking forward to traveling to Asia this winter, on a 20- hour flight that would have been unbearable. If you are in pain, all I can say is, don’t wait! You know your body. You know when something is wrong. Get it taken care and get it taken care of by the best. Less

I suffered hip and shoulder discomfort for the last 6 years. Within 30 days the pain and discomfort was gone. As I continue with regular sessions and prescribed daily exercises my mobility and posture are improving. My DPT is Jeff and he is excellent in explanations on whys and hows of correcting my specific posture challenges. This will improve and maintain a good quality of life.

I am someone who had just decided I “inherited a bad lower back”, and treatment at RPM has been the only measure to ever offer me true healing. Ten years of getting hurt doing the silliest/simplest tasks, and this last episode of back pain put me completely out of commission. Couldn’t lift my three year old, could even stand up straight. I turned to RPM in utter desperation (they came highly recommended from a personal trainer who teaches my barre class). Guess what? Flavia had me worked in to see Jonathan and Jeff that afternoon. Their treatment approach is hands-on, includes stretching and strength training exercises and they even taught me how to properly get out of bed in the morning. Jeff has worked with me on modifications that will allow me to continue attending my beloved Barre. Each exercise they have taught me has been followed with an instructional video sent directly to my phone for convenience and clarity. Every time I’ve walked in their doors I’ve been greeted by name, and asked specific questions related to my health—they get to know you and the care about you. Could not begin to sum up how wonderful this group of talented professionals is—they are game-changers and miracle-workers. I’m a fan for life. A happy, healed fan. Less
I have had back pain for many years and since my first visit the pain has been relieved and most days are pain free! I also have shoulder issues that are on the way to being solved. Don’t miss the training-it helps. Thanks to all!

It’s great reading all these positive reviews and thought I would share my story too. I am 27 years old and live a very active lifestyle. I began having lower back pain about two and a half years ago but never sought treatment and simply lived with the discomfort. However, I recently woke up and couldn’t stand up straight, walking was near impossible without leaning on a counter or wall and I could not find a comfortable position to rest. A friend of mine suggested RPM and swore it changed his life. After three days of not being able to stand up straight, I made an appointment with Jeff. One week and three appointments later, I am back to living my normal active lifestyle. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at RPM and the personal attention I got from Jeff. Sessions were a full hour of one on one attention involving manipulations, stretches, and exercises. Jeff always explained what we were doing and how it will help, which I have carried into my everyday life. Thanks to the entire staff at RPM for literally helping me get back on my feet and on with my normal life. Less
Excellent physical therapy program. They do as they promise - one on one sessions with personal undivided attention to address your specific problem and work towards the end goal. They are professional and caring and I would highly recommend them. A personal thanks to Jeff who has me walking comfortably again - yea!!
Jeff worked really hard to help me overcome a shoulder injury that prevented me from swimming. Jeff and Jon focused on getting me better and back in the pool. I recommend RPM highly for their expertise and professionalism.
I’m 16 and i’ve always been sore in my back for as long as I can remember. I just never could enjoy activities that require standing. Lots of trips to chiropractors helped but never resolved it. RPM not only made my back so much better but also taught me how to keep it that way. I’m so grateful! Thank you so much!
Everyone there is charismatic and welcoming. I made major progress with my back issues that have been affecting me for years.

Excellent service and one of the best experiences in physical therapy I’ve encountered. After 10 years in the Marine Corps I put off personal comforts and damaged myself along the way through extensive backpacking, strength training, and parachuting. Once I had some time to take care of myself I stumbled into Ruzicka performance and mobility because their proximity to my house. I consider myself lucky. I received a customized game plan to remedy my perisitent shoulder, low back and thoracic spine. They got right to work with manual therapy and gave me stretches and hacks to do in my everyday life. When I went to ruzicka I couldn’t sit on a plane for more than 2 hours without going nuts. I’d begun a career traveling 90% of each month and found life unbearable as I would pace the aisles of the planes each week. After several months of work I found my ability to sit on long flights increased. My surfing soreness decreased and my overall strength in the gym increased due to proper techniques. . Less

I’m a former baseball player and middle linebacker, a CrossFit enthusiast, a Marine Corps infantry officer, and an Afghan combat veteran with current goals that include playing rugby, running a Ragnar Relay, playing polo, and competing in an Ironman triathlon. Suffice it to say I’m an active guy, and I’m hard on my body. At 32, I sometimes feel like an 80-year-old man. I’ve been dealing with various injuries and chronic pain in my back, knees, neck, shoulder, and feet for the past 10 years. Before starting treatment at RPM, I was waking up every one to two hours at night, I was afraid to lift any significant amount of weight for fear of further injuring myself, and I was generally uncomfortable and in pain all day. I tried rest, yoga, static stretching, lighter weights at the gym, and I was taking an unhealthy amount of pain relievers, none of which seemed to help. After only five sessions of physical therapy at RPM, however, I feel like a new man. I’m sleeping better than I ever have, my energy and productivity levels are higher than ever, and I’m completely out of pain. This treatment has done more to improve my quality of life than anything I’ve ever tried. Jonathan and Jeff listened closely as I described my issues on day one, and they developed and implemented a targeted, personal treatment plan that brought about almost instant relief. The plan was progressive and flexible in nature, and it includes exercises and stretches that will remain integrated into my health and wellness routine for the foreseeable future. I’m a true believer in their methods and of their level of expertise. I can’t speak highly enough of the entire RPM team and of their professionalism. This has been an incredible experience from start to finish, and I’m happy to recommend all of RPM’s services to anyone dealing with similar issues. Less

She genuinely seems to care! I've had PT sessions with both Jonathan and Jeff, both of which are top notch! They conducted a full assessment, took the time to actually talk about my condition in depth, worked at a pace that was comfortable for me but helped me push the envelope on my recovery. This definitely isn't your run-of-the-mill PT practice where you're just another number. Everyone knows you by name, they follow up with personal phone calls, it's truly a positive experience all the way through. It's also exciting to see how they respond to my progress. They almost get more excited than I do when I hit a new milestone, it keeps the positive momentum going! There aren't enough stars on google to properly rate this group, their quality of service is just that good. I recommend RPM with the highest regards!! Less

Jonathan and his team are the reason I overcame a shoulder injury that no one else could seem to help me with. Within two weeks my pain was completely gone and my shoulder mobility went from barely raising my arm to raising it straight above my head. Jonathan has become my personal PT to keep me performance ready.

This place literally saved me! I have never had a herniated disc before and never wish that pain upon others. For years, I had sciatic nerve pain that comes and goes which I could usually remedy with quick stretches here and there. Until one day the pain just wouldn't go away. So I seeked out treatment, being that I was ill-advised I went to the chiropractor first. But after 8+ treatments I was not getting better. I would feel a little bit of relief the first few hours after every adjustment and then it would revert back to the original pain I was having. It was getting harder and harder to function everyday. It was debilitating, I was losing hope everyday that I would ever get better. Then I found RPM, I Googled for help and they showed up. I went to their website to learn more about them and I was impressed. The raving reviews they have got me intrigued and excited. They reached out to me the very next day and we scheduled an appointment right away. They heard my pain through the phone and they immediately jumped at the opportunity to help me. Jonathan and his team have been such a pleasure to deal with. I can't explain enough in words how refreshing it is to deal with people who are as equally invested in your well being as you are. After the first few treatments I was already seeing the improvement! I was walking better, there was less pain with my movements and I was able to get back to my normal. What sets RPM apart is the education you get with the treatment. They help with the healing process but they also remind you that have to do the work as well. You are given everything you need to get better and all you have to do is implement it. Thank you so much team RPM! You guys helped me get my life back. Less

Over 2 years ago I started having this pulling/soreness in my left hamstring that eventually turned into increasing pain. At first I thought maybe I did something in my workout that caused it to feel this way but after giving it some time I realized I needed to see someone about it. I visit my Orthopedic who did MRI's and was't 100% sure what was causing pain but recommended me doing Physical Therapy. After physical therapy at his office and not responding to it I did not return and lived with it for a long time. Fast forward a year and while working out with my trainer and not feeling all that wonderful about my left hamstring, my trainer recommended me to talk with Jonathan to see if he could help. After my one hour consultation I was convinced he knew what was wrong. It was the first time that everything made sense and we had a plan. After my initial 4 visits I was 90% better and now working on the remaining 10% through at home exercises and visits to Jonathan and Jeff. Less

My daughter has been in club swimming for a few years, practicing at least four days a week. In the last couple years the pain in her right knee became increasingly worse to the point she could hardy swim her best stroke and could only practice two times a week because of the pain. We took her to a PT clinic in The Woodlands but she was seeing a different therapist each week and they only spent a short amount of time with her and no improvement was seen after a four visits. A family friend referred us to RPM and the results have been outstanding. She started to experience less pain within two weeks and now after six weeks is completely pain free. Jonathan first diagnosed and thoroughly explained the root cause of the pain and advised what would be needed to alleviate it. On each visit he and his staff spent an entire hour focused only on her! The visits included deep massage therapy and making sure she understood the correct way to perform the 15 minutes of exercises she was prescribed to do every day that would strengthen the muscles which would take pressure off of her knee. A big thank you to Jonathan and his excellent staff of healers. Less
Jonathan and Jeff have been 2 of the best PT’s that I could have imagined. When I first went to them 2 months ago, I could barely stand up straight and was living day to day with severe back/hip pain. They prescribed me with stretches and workout regiments that lead to immediate results. I can’t speak highly enough about RPM’s commitment towards their clients. I highly recommend them for any PT
Dr Ruzicka is by far the best in his field . Both Dr Ruzicka and his staff’s concern, professionalism and expertise have allowed me to be able to fully function physically as a senior citizen. As a former Rehabilitation Counselor, I have contracted with a variety of medical professionals to assist my clients in their recovery process, none were as competent as this group.

RPM is hands down the greatest PT clinic and Personal Training Center that I have ever been to. Jeff and Jonathan possess the innate ability not only in diagnose and heal physical ailments but the emotional and mental afflictions accompanying them. I’ve been using Ruzicka Performance & Mobility for years and I will never see another physical therapist, chiropractor, or pain doctor ever again. The guys literally work miracles. Every friend, coworker or family member that I see or hear of in pain I aggressively encourage to go see Dr. Ruzicka and don’t quit until they do. And every single person always says the same thing, “Man these people work miracles”. It doesn’t matter what your injury is, Dr. Ruzicka and his staff will listen to you, inquire, then swiftly breakdown the issue(s) root cause(s). They are able to identify each and every contributing factor and explain what the issues are in lay-man's terms and most importantly walk you through how you’re going to fix it. They have a gift of encouragement there and have a way of reframing how you think about your injury and circumstance. The physical healing they provide is second to none but the true differentiator is how they work on your mind, instilling a confidence in yourself that you are going to overcome your pain. You will experience healing and you will live a healthier and happier life. I’ve seen men unable to hold their kids due to such severe pain and the toll it took on them mentally when they are barely able to stand up and in the same day walk out of RPM smiling. God bless you Dr. Ruzicka and RPM! Less

I woke up one morning feeling like I had slept wrong. My neck and left shoulder were painful and my head felt heavy. It progressively worsened over the next few days. I sought chiropractic treatment thinking it would give me some relief, but, to no avail. The pain was excruciating and I couldn’t sit or stand. I tried frequent chiropractic, therapeutic massage, neck traction, etc. over the next few weeks and still had severe pain. After a visit to my doctor and an MRI, I was diagnosed with cervical radiculitis. The recommended treatment was steroid therapy and Physiotherapy to buy some time until I could see a neurospinal surgeon. I found RPM on the internet and chose to make an appointment based solely on patient reviews! What a life-altering decision! After 3 or 4 treatments, I was seeing major improvement. In fact, I was questioning whether I should see a surgeon at all - and haven’t to date. I am now on my seventh treatment and feel great! I am back to my prior self and able to run and work out as I used to. I don’t see and surgery in my future and I owe it all to Jonathan at RPM! Less

BORING FACTS... I had a severe knee dislocation in an auto accident in the late 90’s. Over the years, I have developed arthritis in that knee & hip problems from compensating for the knee pain. Then I noticed my upper body strength was starting to decline. EXCITING NEWS! I discovered Jonathan, Dr of Physical Therapy and owner of RPM, about 2 months ago. I have made incredible improvement during this very short time. Jonathan offers education along with your physical therapy. This has made a huge difference for me along with the much needed training that works hand-in-hand with the therapy. Casey is an incredible trainer. He is continuously customizing my training based on my progress. I really enjoy my workouts and enjoy Casey’s sense of humor. I’m amazed with my progress. You will be be too. Get started today! Less

I had shoulder pain for as long as I could remember, but I thought it was just a part of life- something I would have to deal with forever. 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
Jonathan is very personable, knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. My teenage son came to Jonathan complaining of shoulder/bicep pain and he has done an amazing job educating, treating and investing in my son. I would highly recommend his services to anyone of any age. He is great!

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
I was having trouble with my knee for over a year. I went to see Jon at Ruzicka Performance and could immediately tell a difference after my first session. After four sessions, I could not feel any pain in my knee and can now go back to doing activities I enjoy. I would highly recommend Ruzicka Performance and Mobility to anyone. Thanks Jon!

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

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

I knew Dr. Ruzicka first as a friend, and then I went to see him as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I thought I had a knee problem, but within a few minutes Dr. Ruzicka found the actual problem was in my hip. I am well upon my way to recovery now. He is excellent with patients, very personable. Staff is great and very knowledgeable.

The intense PT is helping me to gain mobility which is allowing me to exercise and do more for myself instead of asking for help from others. I am so happy that I found Jonathan.

I am not where I want to be yet, but my progress is keeping me on track. Jonathan’s support and expertise has me confident that I will achieve my goal. I work with an RPM trainer as well and am getting stronger each week. I found RPM by seeing an Ad on Facebook while being a couch potato. For some reason I clicked on the video and decided that Jonathan might help get off of the couch and maybe relieve some pain. That he did! Less
Jonathan's talent for helping others spans all age groups, from teenagers to senior citizens. Personally, he has helped me overcome some long-term, ongoing discomforts. He truly cares about his clients and strives to get the best results for each and every one of them.
Knows what they are doing. Amazing trainers. Had pain in my lower back for a little over 3 months and with very few visits I am now able to workout with no pain! Exceeded expectations.
Best PT Dr for me! He’s amazing. I’ll get through this Jonathan Ruzicka and back to moving normally again! Thanks for believing!

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!

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 being told by numerous surgeons that I needed surgery to eliminate my lower back pain, I was determined to find an alternative that would help. I am very glad I called Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka at RPM Mobility and Performance. It has been a life changing experience for me. After four, one hour sessions and the exercises at home, I am able to perform my job and experience the outdoor activities I enjoy with no pain. Dr. Ruzicka is a professional who strives to be the best in his field of medicine. He has a great personality and loves to teach the "science" of mobility. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with lower back pain, or any other joint pain. Finally, a doctor that actually helped. Thanks RPM Mobility and Performance. Less
I have been to other physical therapists and they all want to keep you going as long as they can. Johnatan was always very honest with what you have to do and the time you need to go to therapy. Me and my daughter have been there for different injuries with great results for both of us.

I was out of the country while working and had a bad fall that hurt my back. I wasn’t really sure what to do because I never had an issue with my back before. 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

We opted out of surgery and decided to go the PT route and I seriously can’t thank Ruzicka enough. She had limited Mobility, was in pain, and was actually falling into a little depression. Ruzicka changed all of that!! The excercises, the intense therapy, and the overall atmosphere is working!! She is back to hitting the ball the way she was before her injury and throwing harder then she did before. She even learned how to juggle. Thank you so much Jonathan!! Seriously if your looking for amazing results then your search is over go see Ruzicka!! Less

I took him to my Pediatrician who did an X-ray which was normal and sent us in our way!!! We are so thankful we found Dr. Ruzicka. 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
I came to Dr. Ruzicka with a shoulder problem I had for 3 years. In just three short sessions and the home exercises, I am pain free today and it feels so good. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with body pain. He is definitely an expert, professional and made the whole experience a pleasure. Thank you so much Jon!

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

He genuinely cares about the wellness of his clients and is incredibly knowledgeable.

I'm definitely not one to write reviews often but was compelled to write this because Jon is just that incredible and is definitely deserving of more than 5 stars if I could give it to him! Seriously, do not think twice about getting at least an initial session with him - he's incredible and it will be well worth your investment! 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 came in with lower back pain from sitting in a desk all day at school. I went in one time to see johnathan and felt better immediately after! My back was feeling better the next day while sitting all day long again. I will continue to come here for my lower back and anything else needed!
I’ve had chronic back pain for almost 10 years. It’s gotten worse in the last 3 years. After steroid injections and chiropractor visits I was still in pain. This was my last chance from having surgery and it has worked. My pain level has decreased significantly and Jonathan is very knowledgeable and offers great insight. I highly recommend him if you have exhausted all other options.

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

Nothing is more frustrating than experiencing constant pain and not knowing what to do about it. My shoulder was causing debilitating pain for over two months.

Not only did they help physically relieve the pain during the session through various controlled rehab excersises etc. , but they took the time to thoroughly walk me through what was happening in my shoulder. Every situation is different , but after only two sessions they were able to help fix my shoulder, equip me to continue to rehab as my shoulder healed and as I began excersising again!

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
