I've gone to Run Raleigh PT for a couple years as I dealt with a hip/glute issue and worked with John Mendenhall as my PT. I can't say enough good things about him and Run Raleigh. When my hips and glutes were locked up, his needling was magical. His attention to detail and constantly tailoring the plan according to my specific needs was fantastic. I'm not a fast runner (yet), but I wanted to stay in the game and I couldn't have done it without him. Thanks John!
Had a PT appt with Abby at Run Raleigh. Needed help with lower leg stiffness and mobility. Abby was extremely professional and helpful in diagnosing and prescribing exercises for rehab. I would highly recommend for runners and athletes.
Brian is amazing! No matter what issue I bring him (and I have a lot!), he knows what to do to help resolve it. He's a very skilled physical therapist whom I highly recommend.
The review of a PT is done sometime after therapy. I had been a patient at Run Raleigh for a while on account of pain in my right quad as a runner. I loved the ability of direct interaction and not needing to deal with insurance. I was a patient for about 2 months and saw my therapist multiple times. The sessions included dry needling and massages all of which gave immediate relief. However I couldn't run much. A few months post this I started seeing another PT albeit one that took insurance. That experience led to needing intervention from an orthopedist since I was consistently seeing a PT without improvement in my pain. Turns out, I had severe tendonitis and needed surgery.
Step aside, Annie Sullivan...there is a new Miracle Worker in town! After months of joint pain in one knee, I bit the bullet and booked an appointment with Emily at Run Raleigh. Life changing! Emily is friendly, encouraging and, most importantly, very knowledgable in what she does. Much improvement after two sessions. A miracle! Thank you, Emily!
