Thrive Physical Therapy

My experience at Thrive ended a 3 year battle with chronic neck pain. My misdiagnosed pain involved X-rays, MRIs, many injections and several other physical therapy groups. Thankfully my journey eventually took me to Thrive where I was treated by Clarke Tanner and Chad Goudy. They were not only professional and knowledgeable but also very understanding of how this was affecting me mentally. Through their hands on methods, appropriate exercises and added encouragement I am now pain free!! Thank you Thrive.

I was referred to Thrive by my primary care provider in November. I had heard of Thrive, but that's it. I started going because I had been having hip pains, that were knee pains, that were feet pains. Valerie has walked me through all of it and provided demonstrations and materials to help me improve my stretching and reduce my pain. This has been the best for me as a military vet and sportsman.

I have been working with my PT since April-July of 2023.Of coarse I didn't know how things would go. Well let me tell you my therapist was attentive passionate caring concerning and excellent in knowledge. Great personality she demonstrated all my exercises and explained everything thoroughly. Every thing I've learned has helped me heal my mind and body. Valerie is amazing very skilled and she made me feel like I was her number one priority in getting me back to being pain free.

The team at Thrive is amazing - from check-in/admin to the care the PT staff gives. I've been so impressed by the personal approach, and how the balance between simple yet constructive exercises and the difficult, challenging exercises have enabled me to recover and to improve the way I feel. Kudos to all at Thrive, but especially the experience and expertise of Cody! Heroes at Thrive!

After years of searching for relief for back and neck pain, I had no success until visiting Thrive. Prior to attending Thrive, I visited several different chiropractors and none of them were able to do the trick. Thrive staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Ultimately, they have provided me with long lasting pain relief and practical, daily stretches/exercises to incorporate in my lifestyle. I am extremely grateful for Thrive!

I was drawn to Thrive Physical Therapy after viewing the website. I was looking for a more comprehensive approach to deal with my chronic back pain. I began with physical therapy with Clarke and Chad. Both outstanding professionals that truly listened to my needs and help create a plan of action to help me.

I participated in the Thrive Transformation Academy which was the comprehensive path I needed to take. For the first time I was not just about the physical exercises but about the mental wellness I needed to achieve. Working with all the professionals at Thrive through this program I gained so much knowledge about exercise, goal setting, beliefs, mindset, healthy habits, and self-compassion. After dealing with chronic pain for more than 2 years, I am finally gaining the confidence to live my life again.

All the professional I have worked with at Thrive have truly impacted my life and I cannot thank them enough.

The professional, friendly Thrive staff are genuinely concerned with their clients' success in achieving and sustaining overall good health of mind and body. As a return patient for rehab from back injuries I look forward to coming to PT as opposed to dreading the sessions, and this carries over into doing my home exercises. The staff sets goals for their patients, inspiring them through ongoing support of videos, updates, and friendly check ins. Thank you Clarke Turner and the entire Thrive staff for all that you do in enhancing our quality of life...you truly walk the talk of Thrive's vision and mission for living out a vibrant healthy lifestyle.

Thrive Physical Therapy is the BEST *****
You guys are really awesome and I don't think I have told you that enough. I am doing great but that is only because of the incredible comprehensive treatment I received during my Thrive therapy under Cody's direction and all the support the Thrive team has provided me via so many different types of messaging. It is so appreciated and I so need those reminders. It would be so easy today to say I'm feeling so much better that maybe I really don't need to be stretching and strengthening as much anymore.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing me the best physical therapy program and constantly demonstrating how much you truly care about the well being of your patients.

It doesn't go unnoticed! I promise I won't keep Thrive Therapy a secret!

I started having lower back pain in February, and by August, I couldn't sit. I decided I really needed help and they were able to get me in very quickly. The front desk ladies were absolutely wonderful and called me when there was an opening, effectively reducing the time I had to wait by 2-3 weeks. They also were wonderful about dealing with insurance complications. I've never seen such patience with insurance problems from any other doctor before.

The PTs I worked with were also very respectful and friendly. I had almost lost hope of being pain free, but we had a major breakthrough and we were able to figure out the source of my pain. I felt that I was being treated as an individual patient and they worked with me and my needs. I am now entirely pain free and back to normal range of movement. Cannot recommend this place more highly

I have a chronic arthritis in my back my Surgeon recommended me to go to Thrive PT since my 1st visit all the staff and customer service was excellent. My Physical Therapist, Mr Goudy, he is amazing person professionally and personally unspeakable. Thank you so much

I dealt with leg and back pain for almost a year and Thrive was able to get me back to being happy, comfortable, stronger and more confident than ever. I run, ride bikes and play soccer and was missing out on those activities or not enjoying them. I'm so glad I made the decision to go to Thrive.

Maria, Clarke and the rest of the team offer a friendly and welcoming environment but work hard to coach and push you when you need it most. They listen carefully and give each patient their attention and focus. The entire Thrive staff is very professional and provides an excellent environment that makes physical therapy a great opportunity to improve one's personal wellbeing. Thrive was flexible with my schedule and financial situation and offered a huge amount of additional education through email. I would send any friend or family member with physical therapy needs to the amazing team here. Thanks Thrive!

Ive been working with Cody who is an exceptional therapist. He is a great listener and always has spot on advice and is always super positive and encouraging which really helps. I highly recommend Thrive Physical Therapy because they are very knowledgeable and up to date on methods to correct misalignment and pain as well as being skilled at noticing what isn't right. I have learned quite a lot since I've started and have asked many questions always getting detailed spot on answers that work. They never push anything but gently educate and sometimes suggesting better ways as to not be too invasive being considerate of my own ways. For the record I have issues with my neck, back, hips, stress, muscular tension and have even received help with TMJ (jaw) issues and flat feet. Thrive Physical Therapy has coached me with each problem, starting with the most serious case first, as they know priority! With everything I have going on and everything they have shown me I am never overwhelmed in any way and am able to quickly understand what they teach. If your suffering and need help and have been prescribed to seek physical therapy I implore you to check out Thrive Therapy, you'll have peace of mind knowing that recovery is right around the corner.

If you are serious about getting better with the latest treatment options come to Thrive. As a professional athlete I trust Clarke Tanner and the rest of the staff to treat me with the latest techniques available to improve my performance and alleviate any lingering pains I may have. I have been working with Thrive for 2+ years and continue to see success on and off the bike from all of the insights/ techniques that Thrive provides. Additionally, in just my observances at the office, each therapist has an extremely friendly and open demeanor with their patients which I believe facilities the most success in recovery.

I have been a patient at Thrive PT off and on for probably 10 years. Clarke Tanner helped me immensely in the beginning and, most recently, I have driven 3 hrs round trip to be treated by Jesse Smartt. There is no comparison between the treatment received here and any other PT practice. The Thrive staff is hands-on and committed to helping the patient heal and, most importantly, learn how to prevent the return of symptoms in the future. But, if you need them, they are there. My husband has also been treated there - we would not consider going anywhere else if the need arises.

Clarke Tanner and his staff offer excellent service and expertise. Another cyclist recommended Clarke after I experienced a lingering injury that did not get better with rest. I contacted Clarke and his responsiveness from the start was impressive. Clarke evaluated me and gave me some things to work on. For the duration of my time there Clarke and his staff were very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very patient answering questions. I followed through with Clarke's plan and it has helped tremendously. I am back to riding without pain. Thanks for the help! Highly recommend!

THRIVE! – The perfect place for my rehab and recovery. Sessions are always personal, intentional, affirming yet challenging. I leave each visit with new goals and expectations. I’m always handled with my best interest, and my full recovery, in mind. The affirming and caring expertise of Thrive has me on the path to reach my full potential! Thanks to your great team!

This review is long overdue. I went to Clarke a year out after having hip surgery. I saw a few other PTs before seeing Clarke but PT was making my symptoms worse. I thought my surgery was a failure. My surgeon and I discussed a revision but I did not want to have another surgery. I decided I would make an appointment with Clarke as a last resort. I am so thankful that I made that appointment. His focus on manual therapy and neuromuscular re-education helped me improve to a place I never thought I could get. I am forever grateful for his help!

I have been going to Clarke at Thrive Physical Therapy for over 10 years and I can unequivocally say that he is the BEST!!! Before finding him, I kept going to different physical therapists who just didn't seem to help that much. After being discouraged, I found Clarke and have never looked back. Anyone that I have recommended him to agrees with me. In fact my friends have told me to stop recommending him because it is hard to get an appointment with him. I also know that Tara is excellent and in fact everyone there is good. We are lucky to have this practice in Richmond.

I have been going to Thrive and seeing Clarke following a life changing injury and he has helped me make strides in my recovery! I appreciate his positive attitude and genuine determination to help me return to having an active lifestyle. His knowledge and tableside demeanor makes it a pleasure to be treated. I will only ever see him and his staff for my physical therapy needs and would only recommend Thrive PT for anyone else needing help!!

Thrive PT is the most responsive and skilled PT company I have ever used, and, as a runner and tennis player, I have needed my share of physical therapy. I developed a hamstring issue at the National Hard Court Championship in California. Couldn't run and bend for low balls without extreme pain throughout the week. Could move latterally but opponents quickly figure out what you can't do. Thought I was done. Made appointment with Thrive, and within a few days, after working with Clarke (corrective, hands-on therapy), Libby (massage) and Sophia (pilates), I was pain free! Have not had hamstring issues since. Clarke provided exercises specific to my weak areas to strengthen, if the problem returned. Now, I am back on the court without injury and able to compete in the sport I love. Thrive PT is a blessing to anyone with or without an injury. Maintenance works with them as well.
