“I was in pain for years. After injuring myself I found a physical therapy place and started physical therapy. I completed 38 sessions and was still not feeling great. I choose pursuit physical therapy because maryann Daniels was able to pin point the problem causing my pain without imaging and the sessions are one on one. The care I received is different than other places. The care is one on one not one of three. You are told what to do for the problems you are experiencing, how to do it and why you are doing it. I experienced pain relief my first session and my pain improved after every session. I can now do my daily activities with no pain including climbing ladders, pushing heavy shopping carts and getting up and down from the ground. If you are still reading this, your in pain daily and so was I. I have tried other places but my experience at pursuit physical therapy with maryann daniels was what I have been looking for the last few years. Pursuit physical therapy will not have you wasting your time and money with a run of the mill plan to fix your problem’s. The plan you receive will be tailored to your needs and functions. After doing 10 sessions for the one problem I have decided to do another 5 sessions for a different problem I was having and I’m thrilled with the results.
Thank you Pursuit physical therapy and maryann Daniels.“

“Maryann is a phenomenal physical therapist who feels more like a partner with a vested interest in helping you get and stay mobile and healthy.  If you’ve experienced the “drill mill” mentality of larger PT shops where therapists attempt to work with multiple patients at the same time, you will appreciate the approach at Pursuit.  Each one-on-one, dedicated session ended with me having better range of motion, less leg pain, more information about the possible root causes of my frozen hips and a very clear plan on how to continue to see improvements in a way that makes sense for me, specifically.  She is very creative and thoughtful, tailoring and updating treatment plans on the fly as new layers of restrictions are discovered or as areas improved.  She patiently answered my endless questions about anatomy and exercises, listened closely as I explained what was working well and what wasn’t, and provided exactly the information I needed to keep improving on my own.

“A Truly Life-Changing Experience — They Saved Me From Surgery.
I first came to see Dr. Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy after months of terrifying, disabling pain that began suddenly in December 2024. It started as a sharp, stabbing pain in my lower back that came out of nowhere—I had never experienced anything like it. The pain eventually shifted into my right hip and lower back, lingering through January–July 2025 while I was doing a weight-lifting fitness program. It never fully went away, but I was able to function.
Everything changed in August–September 2025. The pain returned ten times worse. Those months were an absolute nightmare. I could barely sleep, waking up multiple times a night in agony, sometimes feeling almost paralyzed in the mornings. I couldn’t lie on my sides, and I would drag myself out of bed every day just hoping the pain would subside enough to get through the morning.

I chose Pursuit because Ron was the only person who took the time for a truly thorough evaluation—and he immediately suspected a herniated disc even before I had any MRI or imaging. He ran multiple tests, listened to every detail, and gave me a real diagnosis long before any doctor or scan confirmed it. His accuracy and expertise were unbelievable!  Before returning to Ron, I tried AdventHealth PT because a doctor (who doesn’t usually recommend surgery) referred me there. Unfortunately, they started me on strengthening exercises right away despite me explaining that I couldn’t sleep, was in constant pain, and sometimes felt like calling 911. Within days, my pain shot from a 5 to a 10. My nights were unbearable—I slept with ibuprofen just to survive a few hours.
Once the MRI finally came back, it showed a large 8mm disc herniation pressing on a nerve, causing weakness in my right foot. I nearly had a foot drop. A spine surgeon said surgery was necessary—even warning me about possible long-term nerve damage and frightening complications.
But Ron assured me that once the pain goes down, my strength will return and that I might not need a surgery.
That confidence came from expertise, not guesswork. His approach was the opposite of the big corporate PT clinics:
• Pain relief first
• Personalized treatment
• No rushing into strengthening before the body is ready
• A real plan, real explanations, and real care
• Fantastic Home Program Exercises that he gave me even after my initial evaluation visit (real sign of a great PT)

After just 2–4 sessions with Ron, my pain went from debilitating to 70% better. From waking up in paralyzing pain to waking up naturally for the first time in months—something I honestly thought would never happen again.  By session 6, I was completely pain-free.  I continued to 12 sessions just to rebuild strength safely and correctly, using everything Ron taught me.

Today, I’m back to:
• DB lifting (gentle)
• Exercising
• And most importantly—living my normal life again, completely pain-free
My right foot strength has returned about 95%, and I’m continuing the strengthening techniques Ron taught me to get even better.  If you are in pain and unsure where to go—do not waste your time with large, generalized PT chains. They nearly made my condition worse and accelerated me toward surgery.  Ron’s expertise, honesty, and individualized care saved me from spinal surgery to remove herniated disc (there are tons of complications after doing it, by the way, where you are not able to sit for months!, etc.) that both my conservative doctor and the surgeon recommended.  He will never risk your health—if you truly need surgery, Ron will tell you. But if physical therapy can fix it, he will show you exactly how and walk with you every step of the way.  Pursuit Physical Therapy is the reason I avoided surgery, avoided nerve damage, and can now live pain-free. I wish I had gone to him from the very beginning.

“For the last 5 or so years, I have suffered from lower back and hip pain on and off, requiring physical therapy every so often. Two months ago my lower back started acting up again, so I decided to find a physical therapist that could help. I found Pursuit Physical Therapy and was impressed by online testimonials, then by the quick response and professionalism of administrative staff (Jade!). An appointment was made with Maryann Daniels, and from the first day working with her I knew she would help me recover. Not only did Maryann listen to my history and assessed the overall situation, but she worked with me to create a plan that addressed every issue and pain point. Maryann has the credentials, experience and technique, is a good communicator and explains the “why” for every exercise. She sent a follow-up email after every visit with a list of 3-5 exercises to do at home, together with a video for each one. I finished 6 sessions today and can say I feel so much better, and am able to carry on with activities of daily living that had been extremely difficult before therapy. I will continue working at home, and if need be, I know Maryann is just a text or phone call away. I highly recommend Maryann and Pursuit Physical Therapy.”

“I was experiencing low back pain from a previous injury years ago as well as dealing with a weak pelvic floor from giving birth twice. I researched physical therapists who had a pelvic floor specialist and Maryann was highly recommended. I had five sessions with Maryann and she helped me with every area I was concerned with and truly took the time to help me strengthen my body where I needed it most. My low back is feeling much better and I now know what to do if I were to hurt it again. My pelvic floor is also stronger and I no longer have incontinence issues like I did before. She has given me lifelong stretches and exercises that are invaluable to me! I would absolutely recommend Maryann as well as the entire Pursuit physical therapy practice!”
