My son who is a physician recommended Richard of MovEvolution to assist me in improving my "core;" after seeing me... walking up and downstairs with "caution." Richard's examination and assessment of my overall fitness were thorough, and he provided me with exercises to improve my movements in everyday activities. Paying special attention to my bad back and neck. Richard is a caring and knowledgeable therapist!read more

I recently had a session with Richard that was so unbelievably energizing and healing. I’ve always had an impression of... physical therapy as only being for folx who have sustained various levels of injury. While I'm fortunate that I'm not recovering from an injury, I haven’t fully appreciated the value in being stretched and aligned regularly to help move tension that I store on a daily basis in my body; that changed after our session together. As a busy, full-time working mom, my body carries the physical and emotional weight of everyday life. I operate on auto-pilot so I'm not always even aware of how much my body carries in my neck, my shoulders, and my back. Richard is an unbelievably skilled therapist who found my tension and pressure points and with such grace and intention, was able to move and shift me in ways that I felt comfortable, safe, and relaxed. He guided me through each step and checked in regularly with me to make sure I was feeling comfortable at every point. I left our session feeling relaxed and with energy flowing through me.‘The MovEvolution studio is also a warm and inviting place that put me at ease as soon as I walked on. Adding to my overall ease and sense of safety, Richard sanitized each surface before and after I came into contact with it. We both wore masks during the entire session.Truly an amazing and energizing experience!I HIGHLY recommend MovEvolution!read more

I am a triathlete and marathoner, and in my most recent race, seemed to have sustained an injury to my calf that was... probably also related to some knee pain I had been experiencing for months. I called MovEvolution and was able to get an appointment the very same day. My practitioner, Richard, conducted and extremely thorough evaluation to get to the source of my pain and determine my muscular strength. He then set out to write me a 6 week program to increase my strength, reduce my injury, and prevent further injuries. It. Worked.MovEvolution takes your entire fitness into account and creates a holistic plan based on your goals. Not to mention, Richard is extremely engaging fun, knowledgeable, and easy to work with -- offering to meet over Zoom to show me an exercise or allow me to record him demonstrating so I could easily remember what to do. My calf pain is gone, my knee pain receding, and I truly want to follow Richard's detailed plan for me from here on out. I cannot say enough good things about MovEvolution!read more

I found Richard after searching for “physical therapy near me”. I was wowed by the reviews and after my initial... session, I understood why. Richard LOVES what he does and is extraordinarily knowledgeable when it comes to healing and strengthening. After an eventually correct diagnosis and treatment for a torn meniscus, I’ve been doing PT for a little over a month now and am feeling so much stronger. Between actual sessions, and the exercises I was given to do at home, I am returning to physical homeostasis. A major part of this is that Richard treats the whole body, not just the injury itself, and is an anatomy NERD. I mean this in the best way possible and it’s the dream (though not always the case) when finding a physical therapist. I cannot recommend MovEvolution highly enough!!read more
