Pain is normal. Suffering is not.

Richard Symister @ MovEvolution Physical Therapy February 12, 2014

Pain tells us that are body is not doing something right. Poor alignment, excessive rotation, overloaded joints or bad posture can all send pain signals to our brain during our sports and dance training. This is a good thing because pain tells us that we are doing something wrong, damaging tissue and are on course [...]

Winter – H20 and the Athlete

Richard Symister @ MovEvolution Physical Therapy February 3, 2014

Winter time does not mean less water when working out. Your body still needs it and usually in the same quantities.

I've recently started working with Richard to deal with some chronic knee and hip issues, and for the first time in a long time am feeling that there's hope for my limbs! Richard provides simple routines that can be done at home with minimal equipment, and his dedication to his job really shines through. Very glad I found MovEvolution and would definitely recommend them to anyone!read more

My experience at MovEvolution has been excellent. Making an appointment, verifying insurance, and payment was super easy. Richard is knowledgeable and clearly explains his findings, rationale and his expectations. The entire session is one on one and the quality of care is excellent. As a therapist myself I understand the value of a one on one session and how important it is in order to provide high quality care. The amazing treatment doesn't end when you walk out the door, Richard also makes sure to follow up afterwards and is available to answer questions via phone conference at no extra charge. If you're looking for a PT who is smart, listens to you and is willing to problem solve with you to help you stay pain free and reach your goals, then I highly recommend Richard at MovEvolution.read more

I have had several sessions with Richard my physical therapist and he has so far done wonders for me. I have had problems with knee tendinitis due to running and squatting and through our one to one sessions he has increased my strength and helped me live pain free which I have not felt for the past 2 years. He does such a wonderful job demonstrating and offering evidence based therapies and I feel fulfilled each and every session. I would highly recommend him as he is very professional, personal and answers all my questions regarding my injuries and beyond! Thank you Richard for helping me getting back into my routine training and running regimen.read more

I suffered a broken knee-cap, fractured elbow, and multiple torn tendons, all in the same freak accident. After weeks of immobility to heal the bones, I suffered severe muscle atrophy as well. Being a musician and performer, this injury was not only physically painful, but effected all parts of my life. Soon after my splint was removed, still unable to walk and battling all that goes with this type of loss, I went to MovEvolution. I knew that physical therapy would be another level of pain, and also that I needed a therapist that was smart, intuitive, compassionate, and that would absolutely push me. I have just described Richard Symister. From my first visit, Richard would always quickly assess what was giving me the most trouble, help to reduce the pain, and increase my flexibility. He is generous with his knowledge, and provides detailed work-outs targeting one's weak points. It is worth noting that Richard's office was the most responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable of any place that I contacted. The quick and thoughtful response to my first inquiry was probably the reason I chose to initially go there. (I had no recommendations and found them online.) I have found Richard and his staff to display passion, skill, and personal attention to detail, and recommend them without reservation.read more
