ENDVR HEALTH

I saw Dr. Balmes after my right acl was reconstructed. With blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy and challenging training sessions he helped me put on muscle quickly around my knee. I was able to quickly get back to being able to complete challenging hikes. ENDVR health is really for patients that want to get back to 100%. The 1 on 1 attention you'll receive is incredible. Dr. Balmes not only helped me recover but taught me a lot both about the anatomy and functionality of parts of my leg. I had some mild back pain at one point and he showed me stretches and exercises that helped that disappear. I fully recommend ENDVR health to athletes that want to feel like athletes again.

I began working with Dr. Balmes of Endvr Health after 3 months of rehab for an ACL reconstruction at another facility. The difference in the level of care and attention is staggering. At the old facility, I was one of several patients at a time and barely had the attention of the therapist working with me. It would be up to me to take myself through the exercises and be sure that I wasn't doing any harm in the process. With Dr. Balmes, I have gotten one-on-one care. His attention and level of skill not only allowed me to return to skiing 10 months after reconstruction but has allowed to continue to train and strengthen for my various activity. Along with rehabbing my ACL, Endvr Health addressed residual back pain that lingered after ACL repair and has also nagging plantar fascitis that has bothered me for years. You will not get this level of attention or care at another facility. I continue to visit Endvr Health because I know of the commitment to help me achieve my health and fitness goals.

I was extremely pleased with the treatment I received from Dr. Balmes recently for my torn meniscus. When I made my initial visit with Dr. Balmes it was difficult to walk and I was experiencing a great deal of pain. After several visits and following the program he put me on the pain subsided and I was walking normally again. I was so impressed with how quickly it improved. After the knee problem, I visited Dr. Balmes to get his help with a nagging shoulder injury persisting for over 8 months. I was ecstatic that after several visits and adhering to his prescribed program, the pain was completely eliminated and my shoulder is now back to feeling 100%. Dr. Balmes is very methodical in his approach and extremely knowledgeable. I could not have been more impressed or satisfied with the care I received. I will highly recommend him to anyone I know requiring physical therapy.

When you hurt your back to the point that you can barely move, who should you go to?? Dr. Edward Kim of Endvr health. Dr. Kim is attentive, professional, and passionate about restoring full function of your injury. He used various techniques of therapy in our sessions, including cupping, dry needling, and of course stretching and strengthening exercises. I learned new stretches and exercises that affected muscles I didn’t know existed until the injury.
Dr. Kim always took his time in every session to explain the mechanics and benefits of the treatments. He gave me “exercise homework” to do at home that I could incorporate with normal everyday activities, which was great given that who has time to do all of that stuff with four kids?! He would also periodically follow up with me during the week to check on my condition. That’s called going above and beyond.
Endvr health with Dr. Kim is the way to go! Plus he’s a nice guy and very easy to talk to, which is a definite perk when you’re stuck one on one with someone for an hour a couple of times a week.

Dr. Balmes was able to help me recover from a pinched nerve in my right shoulder blade. It prevented me from doing my daily activities without extreme pain even at a relaxed state. I consulted with him even though he was located in a different state, he was able to FaceTime while I showed him what area was affected and how it limited me on movement .
He recommended a few exercises to help with the movement and improve the muscle and nerve within the affected area. Within three weeks of doing the exercises he recommended, I saw a significant improvement with the pain .I was also getting my strength back up. Although it's not up to the ideal strength before I had my injury, I'm definitely getting stronger and working my way back up. Thank you Dr. Ryan Balmes

I had a complete ACL tear and reconstruction. After going to the ortho prescribed physio located in the same office for a handful of visits I knew their standards for physical therapy and rehab were lower than my own. Ryan got me back to the sports I like faster, and with more knowledge and attention than I ever got at the other PT. I learned a lot from him as well, which has helped me mitigate future injuries. He's an absolute pleasure to work with, and passionate about helping you get back to what you love doing. I highly recommend him.

I've been dealing with a cycle of achilles issues over several years, and when I finally decided to turn to Dr. Balmes, my spouse had learned about him through the Phidippides running store. With his expertise and my inquisitiveness, I went through his program and got evaluated to be better advised on approaching my goal to eventually return to running. I'm currently focused on the cycling discipline so I've been making the progress slowly with a focus on seeing that the achilles issue doesn't return through hiking and long walks. Aside from going through physical therapy, I enjoyed having conversations on biomechanics and the inner workings of the approach of treatment. There's a lot of information on the internet so having it deciphered and filtered was great. He explains the concepts and biomechanics very well. While time will tell if I make a full return to running, I've definitely been noticing improvements from where I was before going into PT.

Awesome practice! I was able to see both Dr Balmes and Dr Kim for separate injuries. They took the time to explain what was going on with my conditions and how to set realistic expectations for recovery. I would recommend them to anyone!
