The Retrieve app for back issues is great. Steven provides a thorough step by step guide to your back. He gives explanations of “why” in addition to the “how-to” The exercises are easy to do and made a huge difference

For six years, I largely ignored the pain I was experiencing. I’ve known Stephen professionally for a few years, and when I finally decided to seek an evaluation, I knew he was the only therapist I wanted to work with. I’ve watched him in clinical settings and have always been impressed by his intelligence, dedication to learning, and genuine kindness.I’m grateful I was able to invest in my healing with him. Instead of spending months in treatment elsewhere, I chose four focused sessions with Stephen. Even when I struggled to stay consistent with my exercises because of pain or circumstance, he offered multiple alternatives to ensure I could complete them in any environment.After all those years, I am now completely pain-free. Stephen, your character, professionalism, and quality of care are exceptional. Thank you for helping me regain a pain-free, functional range of motion!

Steve was excellent. He was informative and explained everything with detail. He helped with my neck pain and gave details of how to continue to maintain a pain-free life.

I’m a 71 year old active retiree. I’ve dealt with a back problem off & on for 40 years. In recent years I’ve lost flexibility & experienced significant morning back stiffness, to the point that 3 or 4 days a week I could not stand up straight for an hour after waking. I connected to Retrieve PT & Steve Fose through my golf club and have had a great experience working with Steve. He’s very patient, asked a lot of probing questions & varied my therapy & exercises to be sure we zeroed in on my issues. He’s exceptionally knowledgeable yet able to explain things in an easy to understand way. My results have been great. I’m several months out now, the morning back stiffness problem is gone. Equally important, as a good coach, Steve’s equipped me with the tools I need to manage my back condition, helping me put together a daily stretching exercise routine that’s time efficient & effective plus some additional exercises I’ve built into my routine at the Y.This whole experience felt like very individualized, patient centric care… definitely NOT cookie cutter big practice PT. I’m grateful for Steve’s help and I highly recommend him if you need a PT.

Life changing!I found Retrieval and Stephen searching the Web in the middle of the night for anything that would help with the debilitating pain I was suffering from in my back and foot. I spent thousands between the podiatrist, Spine Doctor, and chiropractor with temporary success only to return to the same problem in weeks if not days. I watched a video of Stephen speaking about self diagnosing problems and found it to be refreshing and helpful. I booked an appointment with Stephen a little over a month ago and I went from not being able to bend over or walk straight to doing squats and dead lifts that I have not done in years in just 5 weeks. Every week has been progress. The back and nerve pain is gone! Stephen will definitely give you the tools to self diagnose yourself and the tools to get you back on track. If you are looking to get out of the Pharma money machine and get real help with someone who is going to take the time with you and not treat you like a number then make the investment in yourself. I'm so glad I did. I'm going to be 55 in a couple of weeks and I thought pain and stiffness is normal at this age. This is the lie we are told. You just need the right coach on your side. Stephen is that guy.

I’ve been seeing Steven for physical therapy to treat degenerative disc disease (DDD) in my neck and lower back, and the experience has been excellent from day one. He’s extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and patient in explaining every exercise and treatment.Steven takes the time to understand what I’m feeling each session and adjusts my therapy accordingly — never rushing, always making sure the movements are effective and safe. I’ve noticed real improvement in both my flexibility and pain levels, and I credit that to his thoughtful, consistent approach.If you’re dealing with chronic pain or mobility issues, I highly recommend seeing him. He’s helped me make meaningful progress that I didn’t think was possible a few months ago.

I've been having back issues for many years. A few months ago I had a flare up where it got really bad, I could barely walk. I saw my doctor who sent me to the spine clinic and started seeing a chiropractor, acupuncturist, a physical therapist and it was helping a little but never fully resolved my issue. I ended up getting a shot in my spine which did help for a few days but after the cortisol shot wore off I was back in the same situation. I saw Stephen a few months ago but I was in too bad of a condition for him to work with me. After working with my chiropractor, over 25 sessions with my physical therapist and acupuncture. 2 visits with Stephen gave me the tools I needed to start getting my life back. Having days with no pain or nerve pain down my leg. The pain in my back started to decrease and even disappears from the exercises he assigned to me. He gives me the tools and confidence to be able to do it and maintain a life with no pain. He answers any and all questions plus breaks in down in a way I understand.If I never went back to see Stephen my next steps would have been surgery or another cortisol shot. I won't need either because Stephen saw the issue, explained everything and targeted the issue and had I less symptoms after the first session.

After seeing multiple doctors with issues about my feet and knees, with no relief, I saw Stephen at a friend suggestion. His unique, holistic approach to PT was just what I needed. He is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, and creative in his methods, changing things up to find the exercises that actually work personally for you. I am now able to do the things I like to do without pain, and know how to maintain for the future. Stephen is sincere, and his enthusiasm about what he does is contagious. He provides the hope you need to heal.
