Patricia and Susan are truly excellent! They solved/cured chronic hip pain I had for years by teaching me appropriate exercises to strengthen my core. I had been to 2 chiros, and acupuncture with no luck before going to Restore. I am finally pain free and so happy to have found Restore. They also went above and beyond by helping me out with insurance matters. Very highly recommend.

I was referred to Restore by my physician and have found it to be a welcoming place with excellent practitioners. The general approach is very different from PT places where therapists hand you a printout of exercises or leave you on a machine while they work with more than one patient at a time, and where they rush you along if *they* are behind schedule. At Restore, there is a more holistic perspective and individual approach. Practitioners work with one patient at a time. Lifestyle choices and life experience are taken into consideration. And they don’t just prescribe exercises, they also do hands-on therapies such as Biosynchronistics. There’s an excellent licensed massage therapist available as well(I’m a former LMT and am very discriminating in my assessments). As an older person I appreciate the friendly, respectful attitudes that greet me at Restore, even by the young receptionists. I’ve also seen plenty of young athletes getting their PT there. I’ve done PT with the owner, Patricia Young. Patricia has amazing skill with the hands-on work — sometimes pain literally disappears in a session — and an upbeat attitude that doesn’t cross over into cloying cheeriness. She also has years of experience and an advanced PT degree, so I feel confident in her knowledge and guidance. I also trust that Patricia’s PT colleague is very skilled, but I haven’t worked with her directly. They even offer classes in Tai Chi and Yoga — gentle and geared toward balance and flexibility — on the premises. I’ve been attending Tai Chi class there for over six months, and am getting stronger and more mindful as a result. The instructor, Susan Moore, is gentle and patient, and since she’s the MT and also is a PT assistant, understands each person’s strengths and limitations. Susan’s emphasis is on imparting the spirit and benefits of Tai Chi, not on perfecting the Tai Chi«form,» so even beginners feel unintimidated. I can say without reservation that PT, massage, and Tai Chi at Restore have changed my life for the better. Highly recommended.
