I came from NYC to train with Rick. I had suffered a spinal injury and with the help of Rick i am so much stronger and live in less pain. It’s amazing what Pilates can do for injuries and I strongly suggest it to anyone with an orthopedic issue. It’s safe, gentle and you are in safe hands with Rick!

After a surgical consult for a spinal fusion and in intense pain, my surgeon requested I see Rick first prior to surgery. Rolling my eyes and to assure I tried EVERYTHING I reluctantly went. Rick was incredible. He studied my MRI, completed a thorough assessment and after his first treatment, convinced me that perhaps I could wait on the surgery. I didn't want anyone manipulating me in any fashion-let alone be placed into his pilates spring loaded contraption. After the first treatment, I could walk and bend a little better....after months of treatment I was exercising and maintaining my pain levels. I still needed the surgery but he PROVED to me that there is more that can be done. I am a medical professional myself and a firm believer in Rick. If you are on the fence, RUN.....don't walk to explore the possibilities!

Rick helped me get my body back on track and greatly improved my quality of life. Thanks to him, I avoided an unnecessary back surgery and haven't been this flexible since I was a kid. Highly recommend if you're dealing with muscular tightness.
