“If you’re dealing with achilles pain or chronic foot issues, go see Dr. Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy first—don’t waste time like I did.  I suffered with severe achilles pain in both feet for 18 months. I spent 8 weeks at another PT clinic with zero improvement, tried a PRP injection, did 4 more weeks of PT, and was facing surgery. At that first clinic, you only saw the actual physical therapist once every 8 weeks—you’d get stuck with their initial plan while working with a PTA, even if it clearly wasn’t working.

Finally, a Mayo Clinic foot and ankle surgeon suggested Shockwave therapy as a last effort before surgery. That’s when I found Pursuit Physical Therapy and Dr. Ron, and everything changed.  Dr. Ron created a custom treatment plan and constantly revised it based on my progress—the kind of personalized attention I should have had from the start. With rest and the Shockwave therapy, I had immediate results. I could walk without pain for the first time in a year and a half. Now we’re working on my return to full activity, and I’m actually optimistic again.  Don’t make my mistake of trying elsewhere first. If you need physical therapy, especially for stubborn issues, start with Dr. Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy.”

“A little background – at 45 I decided to start running. Couldn’t run to the mailbox. Within 10 years I’ve run over 100 races from 5K to ultra marathons. All that running and being a very bad stretcher resulted in torn Achilles and then constant pain in both feet for 3 years! My orthopedist said it’s Plantar Fasciitis. Scrap, stretch and rest. Oh and never, yes he said never run again.

Dr. Ron Miller from Pursuit Physical Therapy helped prepare me for some races in the past. He sent his monthly email and it was about Plantar treatment with shockwave. I am ready! Let’s do this.  Dr. Ron after evaluation determined it was not Plantar Fasciitis plaguing me but Insertional Achilles tendinitis in both feet. Treatment plan included 6 shockwave treatments, stretches and advance to strengthening while still living life. That is a critical part most doctors deny you during treatment. On week 6 we had a cruise, during a hike in Alaska I looked at my husband and said, “I have no pain in my feet. Zero!!” It had been over 3 YEARS since I could say that.

It is now 4 weeks since that moment and still pain free. Dr. Ron texts me weekly to check in and is sending new exercises as I progress more. I know it’s a long review but Dr. Ron once again has changed my life. He even said maybe we could go for a run together soon! Did you read that correctly? Go for a Run!! He looks at everything, stays up to date on new treatments, never gives up on finding what will bring you to your goal. Thank you for giving me back my pain free active life. I am so grateful.”

“When I first began working with Maryann I had finally got into the Boston Marathon but found myself more anxious and dreading the build ahead of me because of my left ankle. I had easy run all summer and the found myself sidelined most of October and November.  I was working with another provider and was not seeing progress or really understanding what we were working to strengthen. It felt like we were working on something different every time I went to their office instead of what I really needed help with. I wanted a second opinion and rave reviews led me to Maryann and Pursuit Physical Therapy. I am here to add to their praise. In two months I went from mystery dysfunction in my left ankle to partnering with Maryann to get me back on my feet. She was invested in my recovery from the moment I stepped foot in the office. Maryann provided me with clear explanations and understanding of what was causing my pain frustration in my ankle. When I shared any discomfort, I was feeling we paused and assessed during our sessions in real time and found not only solutions but an understanding of what caused my discomfort. She is a true partner in your process. Along the way I have had more “lightbulb” moments working with Maryann working on my ankle, enhancing my soleus strength, and increasing my lateral and pelvic stability. Not only am I back on my feet since beginning working with her, I have achieved full range of motion in my ankle as well as what feels like a recovery tool kit to keep my body primed for Boston.  I cannot recommend Maryann and Pursuit Physical therapy enough. They listen, they assess, and they program a recovery plan based on your goals safely. I walked into the office defeated in December and I am walking out excited and ready to run.”

“I was struggling with severe pain in my Achilles tendon, so much so that walking was a real effort. I tried resting, icing, bracing, anti-inflammatories, and other pain medications. I went to an Orthopedic specialist. Nothing worked. After three months with no improvement, my wife mentioned this to a friend who referred me to Pursuit Physical Therapy and Dr. Ron Miller. I had Physical Therapy before due to a hip replacement but was not thrilled with the treatment I got at that large facility. Upon arriving, I was impressed with the one-on-one care. I began to experience improvement within two weeks. Ron told me I would be nearly pain free by my upcoming vacation. As promised, I was pain free for most of the trip. After returning home, one more visit took care of my pain. Since then, I have been pain free and am able to do everything without limitation. I have told many people about Ron’s treatment and have no hesitation recommending him to anyone who struggles with relentless, nagging pain.”

“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.”

“Dr. Ron and staff are, as always, very thorough and fair. I came to him this time after using him a few years ago for my daughter’s back issue. He was able to treat multiple areas of pain for me, lower back and achilles pain, and I knew if anyone could get me mobile and healthy again with realistic expectations it was Pursuit. After an evaluation, he came up with a plan for me to get out of pain and back to my normal activities as quick as possible. The plan had me back moving and pain free in a reasonable time frame. His care and clear expectations make him a standout above most physical therapists. I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy to get you pain free and back to participating in activities you love!”

““Visited Pursuit Physical Therapy at the recommendation of my wife who was one of Ron’s patients. For over a year I was experiencing foot pain due to what originally was diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis and later on as a Heel Spur. Because of my condition I had to give up walking and running, the only form of exercise I was getting. After several failed attempts to treat my condition with over the counter medication, and orthotics, I decided to visit Ron. My wife was already working with Ron and she had made significant progress, so I figured I should give it a try. From the first session, Ron gave me a diagnosis that seemed plausible, and came up with a course of action that made sense. Ron worked closely with me, monitoring the progress I was making and adjusting the course of treatment he developed in our first session. Two months later, the progress that I’ve made has been impressive. I went from being in pain every day to be pain-free almost every day. I started walking again and I am working on a plan to resume running. Throughout this process Ron has been knowledgeable, compassionate, thoughtful, kind and resourceful. Ron genuinely cares about the well being of his patients and it shows. If you are experiencing pain and you are hesitant to seek help, I want to encourage you to reach out and set up an initial consultative visit with Ron. Give him an opportunity to explain what he can do for you and take him up on his 100% satisfaction guarantee challenge, I am confident, you will not regret it.”

““I went to Pursuit Physical Therapy for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis. I had been seeing another large well known physical therapy group for over a month but my pain was getting worse (a lot worse) and therefore I was afraid that surgery would be in my future. Ron’s office was totally different. He did a thorough evaluation of my pain and what might be the cause of the problem. What makes his practice so unbelievably different is the one-on-one treatment time. Ron literally is working with you for an hour and only you! At the previous group I went to, the therapist saw 3-4 people at a time. With Ron, I was the only patient and his focus was 100% on getting me back on my feet (pun intended!). He found treatment paths to success that I was comfortable with and he had a very methodical plan to get me back to being pain free without surgery. I also appreciated his texts in between appointments just to check in and see how I was doing. In one month I went from a feeling of despair (due to poor treatment practices of previous therapist) to knowing that I would become pain free. I’ve heard of people suffering with plantar fasciitis for a year or even more but Ron had me back to my normal workout routine in only 4.5 months. It would have taken even less time if I had gone to him first instead of the other place.
While getting treated for the plantar fasciitis, I also managed a slight tear in my rotator cuff. Again, Ron went thru a healing and strengthening process that had me back to daily lap swims in just a few weeks.
I enthusiastically recommend Ron and Pursuit Physical Therapy. I would also recommend starting treatment as soon as you have pain. My healing time took longer because I waited, thinking it would get better and then when I finally went to get help, I unfortunately started with the wrong physical therapy group. Moral to the story is to call Ron first and not procrastinate in thinking the pain will heal itself. In addition to the quality and expert care I received, Ron is a very positive, encouraging, and (sometimes) funny guy! Haha! 5 stars all the way!”

“I had been in pain in two areas for about 5 months before I found Pursuit Physical Therapy. I am a ballet dancer and was experiencing back and ankle pain, making it painful to dance and even do everyday tasks. I had been to two other PTs, got and MRI, X-Rays, acupuncture, seen a chiropractor, AND a back specialist, and no one could seem to help me. When I signed up for an evaluation at Pursuit, I was skeptical and felt helpless, but after only 6 sessions with Maryann, I am back to doing what I love. Pain. Free. The one on one work I got was unlike any I’d experienced before. She was curious, determined, and willing to do anything it took to find out what was causing my pain. It has been such an amazing experience and I’ve learned so much about my body’s function and how to properly care for and strengthen it. I would highly recommend this place!”

“I had Achilles tendinopathy. Doctors and other PTs didn’t help. I heard that shockwave therapy could be effective, found Pursuit on the web as one of the providers who use it. The care they provided through Dr. Will Deiss was far more personalized than the other PT. The results quickly showed up and were very good. I’m not in a panic anymore about losing my ability to hike and be active. I have tools and strategies, and a go-to clinic if issues arise. This clinic uses newer, more effective treatments than the big PT houses. Dr. Will is a gem, very thorough, very attentive. Love Pursuit!”
