After our friend recommended Ryan, my partner and I started seeing him. I've been dealing with recurring shoulder flare-ups that disrupted my life, causing me to wake up at night in pain. Despite seeing several physical therapists, and knowing surgery wasn't an option, I feared this struggle would be lifelong. Ryan helped me get my shoulder strong gradually, but surely. I had a couple of flare-ups on the way. I felt impatient with myself and was quite frustrated, but Ryan was incredibly patient and came up with new programs to continue the work while adapting to my body's needs. Ryan's experience and kindness truly stand out. His ability to maintain energy and focus with numerous clients back-to-back is impressive. If you've tried physical therapy before without success, I highly recommend giving Ryan a try!
I've been taken care of by Michelle Bostick for several months now after a pretty gruesome tibia/fibula break with broken heel and foot bones that I received from a snowboarding accident. This was not an easy recovery as I now have multiple plates and many screws just below my knee. Michelle has years of experience and was respectful of my progress, my goals, and my limitations. She helped me formulate a recovery plan that I was not only comfortable with but I believe accelerated my recovery and made it as painless as it could possibly be considering the damage that was done. She pushed when it was time to push and she rested when it was time to rest. I couldn't be more comfortable with the hands I was placed in. Avant is not only staffed with excellent PT's. The referral coordinators are knowledgeable and friendly as well, greeting you by your name when you arrive and making sure you are checked in and scheduled out. I would recommend Avant to anyone who needs it. They are top-tier and the overall experience they provide is one I won't forget. Five stars.
Avant and Laura Shellooe Soderlind are incredible. I highly recommend this group of talented and caring PTs. Laura deftly guided my daughter through a dance-related ankle injury. Not only is my daughter's ankle much better but she is much wiser about how her whole body plays a role in the care of her joints. The attention to correcting the problem while also setting patients up for long-term success is top notch. Roni, who leads the admin team, is sharp, kind, and quick to respond. All so greatly appreciated!
