Miles and his staff are first rate in every way! Thanks to them I am no longer in chronic pain and have a wonderful quality of life. Recommend them to everyone who wants to get back to what they love!

I was very impressed by Miles and would highly recommend him. He's very patient and knowledgeable. After tweaking my back, I went in to Milestones for massages to work it out. Unfortunately, the massages, which typically work, did not fix the issue, so I met with Miles, a functional movement trainer, who helped me understand the root cause of my pain and gave me daily stretching exercises. Because remembering each of the exercises can be a challenge, he also sent an e-mail with video instructions of each exercise. Super Helpful! To my relief, the exercises began to straighten my back out within 2 days, and within 1 week, I was back in alignment. Within a month, I had gained most of my strength back, and after 10 visits (~2 months), I was back to normal, with the list of stretches, should I need to work on them on my own. I will certainly return, if I'm ever in another situation like this. - Russ

Briefly, Ryan helped me regain near-normal knee flexion/extension by week 3 after a total knee replacement. He is amazing!!! Over the last few years, the limitations of osteoarthritis and other chronic degenerative conditions forced me to be more sedentary. I had multiple surgeries, including two bunionectomies, a spinal fusion and laminectomy, and, most recently, a total knee replacement. I started going to Milestones Movement Therapy because my daughter wanted to take a more holistic approach to my health, with Class IV laser treatments to promote healing and decrease pain as I recovered from my knee surgery and functional movement therapy to help me avoid future injuries. Working with Ryan gave me the opportunity to thrive; continue enjoying activities like hiking, paddle boarding, white water rafting, kayaking, and hula dancing; and maintain an active lifestyle as I approach my 80s. I am so thankful that he has been part of my recovery team! I think if I started seeing Ryan much sooner, I could have avoided the damage that caused me to need my previous surgeries. My first appointment was for laser treatment with Miles on post-op day 2. Before the session, my knee and lower leg were swollen like one giant, overfilled balloon, and performing my physical therapy exercises was so uncomfortable that I could barely get my knee to flex at 90°, even with strong pain medication. I was amazed by how much my pain decreased and my range of motion increased after that first visit! I started movement therapy with Ryan on my second visit (post-op day 4). He performed cupping, laser, and massage treatments to improve the circulation in my leg and around my knee, and I walked out of the office again with markedly decreased pain and stiffness. Over the next 16 days in which I had bi-weekly visits with Ryan, I felt stronger (less pained and more stable), stopped needing pain medication altogether, and was ultimately released early from in-home physical therapy when my flexion and extension measured at 130° and -4°, respectively. My outpatient physical therapist said "normal" flexion is 130° and extension is 0°, and he and my surgeon mentioned how surprised they were by the rate and extent of my progress. It is post-op day 30 now, and Ryan and I have started addressing some of my chronic postural/pedal concerns. I can walk without a cane, ride a recumbent bike, and navigate stairs. I am working on strengthening my muscles, improving the mobility of different joints, and trusting my new knee to support different loads. Ryan is a true professional. Every time I see him, he asks whether I have questions/concerns, actively and openly listens, and addresses things in a way that makes me feel very comfortable under his care, even while he pushes against the boundaries of what I think is possible. Ryan is extremely thorough when explaining different modalities and their benefits and knowledgeable about rehabbing the human body, so my family and I trust his judgment. When my extension plateaued at -10°, for example, and other health professionals were telling me to just focus on contracting certain muscles to get my leg to straighten, Ryan's insight into the rotational aspect of knee flexion/extension and knee mobilization treatments got me to -4°. Ryan is also patient, constantly showing my daughter different treatments and exercises to try with me at home; and funny, engaging, and motivating, always keeping my spirits high while we work through painful or physically/neurologically taxing issues. My daughter and I are very pleased with Ryan's quality of care and feel so fortunate to benefit from his expertise that we've told all of our friends and relatives about my recovery journey with him. Several of our friends have started or will soon start working with him. He and the rest of the team at Milestones Movement Therapy are amazing at collaborating to ensure you have the best opportunities for improvement. Working with them is definitely worth the investment!

Movement therapy has honestly changed my life! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I worked with Anthony and did the 6 class package. We not only addressed some lower back pain I was experiencing, but also so much more than that! I love the whole body approach to this therapy and I am so happy to have addressed these “issues” I was experiencing early on so that I can age more gracefully. I have left here feeling pain free and am excited to build on top of what I have learned. Thank you so much! I am so happy to have discovered this place! :)

I have struggled with intermittent back issues for the past few years, after previously undergone physical therapy to regain full functionality in my daily activities. Although I was able to perform most tasks, my back pain symptoms limited my ability to engage in more physically strenuous activities. I decided to try a physical trainer at Milestone Movement Therapy and sought to progress beyond physical therapy and improve my general fitness as a preventive measure for back pain.
My experience at Milestone Movement Therapy was exceptional. Anthony was incredibly detail-oriented: he created a personalized training program that focused on my specific needs. He also tailored exercises based on my responses for a customized and effective approach to training. The follow-ups were excellent, and helped me remember and correctly perform the exercises. Thanks to Anthony's guidance, I became comfortable with gym workouts and learned proper exercise form. As a result, I have become stronger and have progressed in the difficulty of my climbing—a wonderful side benefit, even though it was not the primary goal of the training. While the pain hasn't entirely disappeared, I am thrilled that the training has enabled me to get stronger safely and effectively.
I highly recommend Milestone Movement Therapy to anyone seeking to overcome physical challenges and improve their overall fitness. Their expertise and personalized approach have made a significant difference in my journey to better health.

Miles was so helpful is assessing my knee pain and coming up with a thorough strengthening plan. The therapy helped the muscles around my knee relax and reduced my constant knee pain. I am so grateful to be able to move without pain now and to have a strength plan to make sure the pain does not return.

After trying virtually everything (except surgery), Miles' shockwave and laser therapy provided me with incredible relief and healing. When I first went to see Miles, I couldn't walk, stand, nor sleep due to chronic tendonitis. After 6 weeks of 2 treatments per week I can now do all those things - and without pain. Thank you Miles!

Received a massage from Barbara and it was the best massage of my life. She focused on areas of tension and applied firm pressure which I really appreciated it. A great experience!!
