James River Physical Therapy

I highly recommend Dan & James River PT. I was referred to a different physical therapist after a stress fracture a couple years ago. I felt they were just reading off a plan without paying any attention to how my body was doing or what my goals were. So when I had a different injury, I tried James River PT instead. Night and day difference. Dan gives me his full attention and walked me through different exercises to help find which ones worked best for me. We were able to get me back to my training and feeling good again.

I am very thankful that I chose James River PT for my therapy, and I’m very grateful to have worked with Dan on my significant shoulder issues. Dan quickly assessed my condition and issues, and immediately put me on the right path to recovery! He was very willing to work with my schedule, gave me a detailed treatment plan, and provided specific training on how to get the best results. I have made drastic improvements after only a few weeks of working with him. I would highly recommend him to anybody in need of physical therapy!

Dan is truly a PT professional with personal knowledge and experience in all aspects of physical recovery primarily from sports injuries, but which translates well in rehabilitation from joint surgeries. He takes a personal approach to the needs and goals of the individual and adapts a PT plan that will meet the individual's pace of recovery from injury or surgery. Being a one-person business is a plus for the client, because Dan is able to evaluate and adapt treatment based on personal observation rather than relying on feedback from a PT Technician in a large Rehab group. I highly recommend James River PT to anyone seeking rehabilitation from joint surgery or a sports injury.

Dan is great. Give great advice and instruction. I came in barely able to walk a block, now I can walk no pain around the neighborhood and do my lawn chores without stopping. I feel great and will keep up the routine.

Dan List was highly recommended by my orthopedic surgeon and is the most patient, knowledgeable, encouraging therapist that I have worked with. Not only is this office convenient, but I also progressed rapidly following his instructions while using printouts and drawings to practice at home. I worked closely with him briefly for a shoulder issue, and then for a full recover after knee replacement. I highly recommend this office for physical therapy, for any age group.

My experience with James River Physial Therapy has been excellent. I have MS and went to Dan for physical therapy to strengthen my leg, after a couple of sessions Dan felt there was another issue with my hip ,other than MS.
After an MRI it was determined that I needed a full hip relacement. That was a game changer! It was a tough rehab but
because of Dans excellent knowledge and experience he was pivotal in expediting my healing progress. I hope I don't need Dan's services in the future but if I do, I would definitely use James River Physical Therapy.

Dan was the perfect PT for me! I first saw him (not a technician or assistant) just 2 days after my partial knee replacement. Dan’s professionalism and experience has guided me safely back to a full life of outdoor activities and happiness ahead of schedule. He is the best!

I had a really bad rotator cuff surgery where I was directed by the surgeon to keep the shoulder immobilized for 4 weeks longer than normal. I was told that Dan would be an amazing therapist and the one I would need. Dan DID NOT disappoint. Absolutely AMAZING!! I have been to over 10 Physical Therapists over my 20 year Military Career and Dan is by far the best I've had. He gave me the direction to do a lot of therapy at home and when I came back he was very thorough with his evaluation and direction to continue on or move to more advanced exercises. In 4 months he had me doing things I didn't think were possible. I will be playing golf again before you know it. Thanks Dan!!!

I have been to JRPT for two separate issues over the past two years. I sought out Dan for my shoulder pain after having a good experience previously for another athletic injury. Dan is professional, thorough and what I appreciate most is that he is an athlete and has experience (whether personally or through patients) with a wide variety of conditions that can be improved with physical therapy. I highly recommend Dan and have and will continue to seek his opinion before heading to an orthopedic doctor who would likely send me to PT.

Posting for my mother, Ann Goodwin. Had a great experience with Dan from James River Physical Therapy. I went for about 7 months because of balance issues. Dan showed me the correct way to walk, exercises that I could do to help with my balance and walking. I found my time working with Dan was very beneficial and has helped me greatly.

Dan is the BEST !!! After another big Richmond Ortho Clinic made my ankle worse...I went to see Dan since he helped me in the past. I must say that he keeps your PT simple and easy to fit it into your day, accelerating the healing process. I went from barely able to walk to pain free in less than 3 weeks !!! I highly recommend his practice and will always call him first going forward.

I highly recommend Dan List, owner of James River Physical Therapy, for anyone who needs to rehabilitate after surgery or injury. I chose to see Dan because he had great reviews and was close by. However, he far exceeded my expectations. Dan is incredibly compassionate, kind, knowledgeable, patient, positive and committed to helping all of his patients gain mobility and eliminate pain. He will always be my first choice should me or a loved one need physical therapy.

I have used Dan for years and I highly recommend him because he takes a personal interest in your recovery. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to what you are experiencing. He does a great job in his office and makes sure you take responsibility to follow through on therapy at home. Dan was able to make me feel comfortable doing dry needling! When my PT commitment is over and I have recovered from surgery, I miss our visits because he is professional yet he feels like a friend. With Dan you look forward to PT!

Dan is phenomenal! He was able to see me quickly, customized a therapy schedule for my ailment, and saw to me getting up and running again. He’s friendly, courteous, and an all around great doc!

JRPT!! Great service, professional staff and most importantly, positive results. My new goto for physical therapy needs. Dan will hook you up!!

I have had intermittent bad back pain most of my life and when I first went to Dan I could barely walk. After he worked with me for a few weeks my pain was completely gone. And the best part is that it hasn’t come back and it’s been over six months! I religiously do my daily exercises that he taught me which don’t take long at all and I have had absolutely no issues. I highly, highly recommend him!

I have worked with Dan on several issues during my running days, most recently he managed my recovery from total hip replacement surgery. Dan is an excellent listener and observer. He listened to my comments about my activities and carefully observed movements before outlining next steps in therapy. His ability to explain and demonstrate exercises is excellent. This really helped me recover much faster than I anticipated and my surgeon was quite pleased with our results.

I went to James River Physical Therapy to address some lower back pain as well as issues with my sciatic nerve. I'm fairly active, and one of my concerns was the ability to continue to stay active while/after addressing these issues. Dan was able to prescribe stretches and strengthening exercises to help to reduce and manage my symptoms, while providing advice on how to modify my activity so as not to aggravate them. His perspective as an athlete and runner was extremely helpful in moving me forward in my recovery and toward my goals. I very much appreciate his time and counsel, and would recommend JRPT without reservation.

Wow! In pain for 8 years with tons of money spent on chiropractic care. I've been receiving PT services from James River Physical Therapy for 4 weeks and am completely pain free. I stayed active through the 8 years of pain but it feels amazing to run, lift weights, and move without the pain. They are attentive, caring, and passionate about helping and healing their patients. I would highly recommend Dan and his team at JRPT to anyone in need of their services.

Dan is so very attentive to your wants and needs. He probes you with questions to get to just the right treatment. Dan pushed a little when needed but mostly used encouragement to help me get to the place I need to be.
I highly recommend him! I have been to several physical therapists and he is by far the very best. every minute you spend with him is valuable.
