I feel lucky to have found Dr Miller when I was having new back pain from arthritis and repetitive motion injury. I am a middle aged athlete and he gave me great confidence from the first meeting that I could get back to my regular activities. Not only did I feel better with each session but he gave me practical tips and home exercises to help regain strength and mobility I had lost while in pain. He is a very intuitive clinician and I always felt like he was doing his best for me. I am so grateful to report I am pain free and stronger than I’ve been in years!
Look, most PTs suck! I just finished my 3rd round of physical therapy for patellar tendonitis with Colin Miller, and I'm finally better. I've wasted months with bad PTs and i can't encourage you enough to get an assessment and work with Colin! He is super knowledgeable, and more importantly willing to investigate, test alternatives, be challenged, and pivot away from what isn't working. He will work with you based on what you can do, give you honest feedback, and not just hand you off to another therapist, but actually do targeted bodywork along with developing a custom regiment of therapy (on a schedule of check-ins/sessions you can afford). If you aren't healing, dump your current PT and don't look back. If you haven't gone to a PT yet, don't waste your time with a crappy one that takes your insurance, go get an assessment with Colin. You won't regret it.
Dr. Colin is an incredible, talented and knowledgeable physical therapist. My husband and I have been working with him for 18 months and he has helped us through various areas of pain and weakness. For example, I woke up this past Sunday morning with pain and immobility on my right shoulder. I tried massage Monday morning and that helped during the day but the pain and immobility resumed Monday night. I saw Dr Colin Tuesday afternoon and it made a world of difference. I am pain free and physically feel lighter. I have full mobility back. He did this through adjustments, tissue work and mobilization. I truly believe that preventative care with Dr. Colin has helped prevent many injuries. Dr. Colin is very kind, genuine and caring. Thank you Dr. Colin for all you do to keep me healthy and active in my martial arts and strength training!
I was in serious pain from a fall while hiking. I had a Bakers cyst that would not quit and a variety of other issues. I had been to a sports orthopedist and been sent for the standard issue, insurance covered PT. It was ok and I improved for a while, but then I got much worse again. I needed a new, better solution. I was lucky that a trusted friend had referred Colin Miller. He would not be covered by my insurance, but I really needed to find a solution. From my first visit I could tell Colin would deliver a whole other level of care. His experience, knowledge, tools, and hands on approach were better in every way from any PT I had had before. He takes the time to address every issue and explain how they are related to each other. He’s helped me to build back my strength and my pain is almost totally gone. If you’re injured and serious about a long-term fix, Colin Miller is the best.
Dr. Colin is the best of the best. I came in with back and shoulder pain from work. In his assessment, he took the time to test range of motion and muscle weaknesses in the surrounding areas to come to a diagnosis. Since he prescribed exercises and stretches, my back and shoulders have improved tremendously. It's still a work in progress, but I am confident with Dr. Colin's direction, there will continue to be huge improvements. As a plus, he's such a nice guy. There's always great conversation during our sessions and I always feel he's listening to my needs. I've referred family and friends to him and he's most notably helped my husband's mobility for his golf game. I highly recommend Dr. Colin for any of your physical therapy needs!
