Looking for a fantastic physical therapy experience? THRIVE PT believes in getting you back to your active lifestyle. I had a major hamstring injury. Clarke Tanner had been recommended to me by a doctor. I explained to Clarke my hamstring issues, and then he made his own assessment of my injury. I was a master of compensation. I was using all different parts of my body to try to avoid hurting my hamstring any further. Clarke looked at my body as a whole. Beside my hamstring Clarke dealt with my back, glutes, abs, quads, calves and ankles. He was extremely patient, encouraging, and a stickler for perfect form. Luckily they also have a portal that their patients have access to to remind you of the exercise and proper technique. I am back to playing tennis, working out and spinning three times a week. Hobble on over to THRIVE PT, they will have you walking and running in no time--be patient Thrive PT will get you there.

Ive seen doctors, Ive had surgery, but this is the first time that I have ever had Physical Therapy (PT). I couldnt say enough positive things about my experience. Jesse Smartt was my therapist. He met me the first day and voiced optimism about what I could expect. Although I had my doubts, Jesse guided me, step by step, to incredible improvement. He was challenging but patient and willing to work with my initial limitations. He also taught me how to better move and position myself to further reduce the possibility of reoccurrence. My primary care physician sent me to Thrive Physical Therapy, saying that they were the very best in the area. And then the front desk, Michelle and Emily: They too are the best, friendly, encouraging, accommodating, and informative. If I ever need PT again, Thrive will be my go to place!!

Thrive PT provides treatment that you will not find elsewhere. Whether you come with an acute injury, chronic pain, structural imbalances or other issues the approach addresses the whole person through assessing the issue itself and the impact on the persons quality of life. The use of multiple approaches including adjustments, massage, deep needle, exercises, and education that enables you to understand the neurological pathways of pain,leads to the imperative component of HOPE a person needs to continue to pursue their goals. I rarely, if ever recommend what I do to others. I have been elsewhere; I have the experience of being an injured athlete, an older woman, and a member of the medical profession. I can be relied on when I say if you are looking for a PT practice this is the one you should be going to.

I have received excellent treatment from Clarke off and on for over 15 years for my knees, hip, back, neck, shoulder and feet, much related to a mild scoliosis. It is awesome to have a PT who says, “I love scoliosis - there is so much you can do with it.” Clarke is a master diagnostician – he can figure out where to focus and when needed knows who to refer to in the community. Clarke and his team are knowledgeable, well-trained, helpful, kind, and empowering (sending me home with exercises and a better understanding of what is going on). They are always glad to see me, but we share the same goal – to keep me out of there, doing the things I love, and living free of pain!

If you are serious about getting better with the latest treatment options come to Thrive. As a professional athlete I trust Clarke Tanner and the rest of the staff to treat me with the latest techniques available to improve my performance and alleviate any lingering pains I may have. I have been working with Thrive for 2+ years and continue to see success on and off the bike from all of the insights/ techniques that Thrive provides. Additionally, in just my observances at the office, each therapist has an extremely friendly and open demeanor with their patients which I believe facilities the most success in recovery.

I have been going to Clarke at Thrive Physical Therapy for over 10 years and I can unequivocally say that he is the BEST!!! Before finding him, I kept going to different physical therapists who just didnt seem to help that much. After being discouraged, I found Clarke and have never looked back. Anyone that I have recommended him to agrees with me. In fact my friends have told me to stop recommending him because it is hard to get an appointment with him. I also know that Tara is excellent and in fact everyone there is good. We are lucky to have this practice in Richmond.

Ive had a lot of problems with both my shoulders and neck. I have gone to many physical therapists for help with my frozen shoulder. Out of all of them, Clarke is the only one who made massive, visible progress with helping my mobility. I was not able to raise my hand above my head and now I can reach my entire arm straight up over my head! Clarke is personable and takes time to understand your body mechanics, looking at the problem holistically and not "spot treating". I continually recommend him to family and friends and they have seen similar results.

I refer all of the athletes at Endorphin Fitness to Thrive PT and go there weekly myself to simply make sure I stay injury free. Unlike most PTs, Thrive works one-on-one with each client and uses their expertise to identify the cause of pain to prevent future problems, not just treat the symptoms. I have worked with all of their PTs in some capacity, and they all are great. This is the absolute best PT group I have experienced and highly recommend them.

I have been going to Thrive and seeing Clarke following a life changing injury and he has helped me make strides in my recovery! I appreciate his positive attitude and genuine determination to help me return to having an active lifestyle. His knowledge and tableside demeanor makes it a pleasure to be treated. I will only ever see him and his staff for my physical therapy needs and would only recommend Thrive PT for anyone else needing help!!

I have been extremely impressed with Thrive Therapy. I appreciate the amount of time they took to explain my problem and how each therapy intervention helps improve my condition. I receive constant attention and encouragement during each visit. I have received treatment at numerous physical therapy practices and Thrive is heads and heels above all the others. I highly recommend Thrive Therapy for your individual needs.

Really cannot say enough good stuff about this practice. I believe Clarke saved my husband from a wheel chair, my son from having surgery on his groin and myself from a bad shoulder. All three of us are completely fine and very active in our favorite sports. My husband does have to keep up a stretching routine to keep his injuries in check.

Because Thrive PT gives 30 minutes client/therapist contact, I am stronger and healthier than ten years ago! My improved posture has changed how I feel and look because the PTs dedicated attention and positive attitude. A client group asked if I was an athlete! I am kayaking, riding horses, hiking, lifting heavy loads and loving life!

Thorough evaluation to fully explore all of the causes of my hip and lower back pain. Treatment emphasized functional activities and addressed my goals to be fit and active. Fantastic video library of exercises to make the home exercise program easy to follow. So happy I found THRIVE!
