Im a soccer player and back towards the start of the summer season I tore a muscle in my quad quite badly in our opening game. In my eagerness to get back to playing I returned too early and managed to exacerbate the problem even further. A painful predicament that would definitely need treatment if I was to get back to full fitness. I asked around for recommendations from friends and was given the names of a number of spots in Manhattan. Im based in Brooklyn so I decided to check out local options too. When I first contacted Richard he was the model of professionalism. He talked me through what to expect from a visit to his studio and made it very clear that initial diagnosis wasnt going to cost me anything. The vibe at MovEvolution is the first thing that catches you: Richard has created an atmosphere that is 100% conducive to healing and feeling comfortable. After less than half an hour of consultation I was completely convinced that he was the right guy to go with, I didnt even bother following up the Manhattan leads. His approach, attitude and communication is exceptional, the man is a true professional. Hes damn good at what he does too. After an initial estimate of maybe 5-7 sessions I was back playing competitively after 4!! I will definitely be going back for further strengthening sessions. Goes without saying that I would recommend Richard and MovEvolution to anyone needing physical therapy in a heartbeat.

5 stars are not enough to describe the pricelessness of Richards work, the magic in his hands, and his personal approach to help you heal. I underwent complicated ACL/MCL/Meniscus surgery two and a half months ago, and I was in shock by how little I was able to move afterwards. It was something I definitely underestimated beforehand. The road towards healing and being able to normally walk again seemed impossibly long and hard. But once I met Richard for my first evaluation, I released that I will have a true guide, guardian angel, and partner in crime in what would become a very, very successful collaboration - not just in regards to the healing of my leg, but also by means of human relationship. Richard truly made me understand the process and purpose of the therapy, and gave me detailed description about what exactly was going on in my knee. This helped me to fully understand the process, engage in the healing process, and get extremely satisfying results. I can now walk and bike again normally, and my leg feels stronger than ever. Even my doctor was impressed by the speed and quality of my healing. This is all thanks to Richard, and I therefore fully recommend his services to anyone in need for an evolution in movement and a positive healing process for body and soul.

Richards amazing. Hes incredibly connected to you as a patient - your individual needs and changing body. Every time he sees you, he reconnects with where youre at that day and works from there. So many therapists try to follow a recipe. Richard has amazing intuition that allows him to go beyond the limitations of a recipe/routine with you. He taps into what youre feeling and why and works to get to the source of your injury and body imbalance. He is a generous and humble person who seems to really see healing as his calling and therefore constantly gives of himself towards this end. Plus he has great music!

MovEvolution Physical Therapy
The name fits it perfectly. That is exactly what Movevolution Inc. does for you, mentally, and physically. It is very rare, that you find someone who takes pride in what they do. I have been to big name hospitals and have not gotten any results, until I went to movevolution. I would recommend it to anyone in a heart beat. So visit Mr. Richard Symister at movevolution and get a move on those bones. D. Murray, Brooklyn

Richard is the best! He has a great understanding of what effects what on the body and has extremely helpful to me through a few running injuries in the past. I traveled from the UES just to see him and it was always worth it. Thanks!
