“Dr. Michael Fabrick brought me back from facing serious spinal fusion surgery and got my pain level down from a 9 to a 0 in less than 6 weeks. I had debilitating sciatic nerve pain caused by a spinal fracture and protruding discs between L3-L4 and L4-L5. I am a tennis player and could not enjoy the activity I love the most, nor could I even stand or walk for more than 2 minutes at a time. I had undergone months of pain mgt. and “one size fits all” physical therapy at a well-known hospital system in Orlando to no avail, and was advised I needed spinal fusion back surgery. I found Pursuit Therapy when I googled sciatic nerve treatment. Admittedly, when I read the testimonials, I was skeptical. It just sounded too good to be true. Having nothing to lose, I gave them a shot as a last-ditch effort before surrendering to surgery. It was literally one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life! My very first appointment was an evaluation with Dr. Michael Fabrick, a well-known tennis pro physio (check him out on My Tennis Life on the Tennis Channel)! He immediately gave me hope and, by the end of the initial 90-minute eval, he told me he could help me recover and play tennis again without surgery. I saw Dr. Fabrick 2x per week for 6 weeks and “graduated” from the program yesterday. I have my life back!!! I am lifting weights and ready to start tennis again. Words do no justice in describing what Dr. Fabrick and Pursuit Therapy have done for my mind, body and spirit. Not only am I pain free now, but I have a maintenance plan for the future so I can avoid ever being back in the same predicament again. My experience has been incredible and worth every cent. I assure you that the testimonials on this website are all true – they are incredible professionals, their skill-levels are UNMATCHED and they change lives every day! Believe it. Go there. Get your life back too!“

I spent 4 years seeing a million doctors and physical therapists…but nothing worked!…After two months of treatment I experience absolutely no pain now! I 100% recommend Ron and Pursuit Physical Therapy!

Ana A.

“My name is Ana Acosta and I’m currently 49 years old, about four years ago I started having excruciating pain in my left hip in those four years I saw a million doctors and physical therapists, even took flights to Colombia to start shockwave treatments, attempting to fix my problem which was absolutely draining me and affected my everyday life. But absolutely nothing worked. While working, I was venting to one of my coworkers about my issue and how I tried absolutely everything. She ended up mentioning Dr. Ron Miller and how he changed her life with her back pain which she no longer suffered with, so I decided to give him a chance and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. At every appointment I felt as though we were getting closer to finding the main root to my problem and how to treat it which was tendinitis and flexor hip problems. His treatment plan is completely personalized and he didn’t treat me as an ill patient but made it a group effort to achieve my results and was their for me every step of the way. After two months of treatment I experience absolutely no pain and I can do all the movements I was not able to before like sitting down for a long period of time without pain, walking and all my daily activities. I 100% recommend Dr. Ron Miller if you’re looking for a personalized treatment plan, good doctor and team player.“

“Being introduced to Pursuit was a blessing for me…It was a pleasure to be with a group who really were invested in my care.”

“I had a left shoulder arthroscopy procedure performed over a year before I was referred to Pursuit Physical Therapy. I thought this procedure would stop the escalating pain in my left shoulder which trickled down my arm. After healing, I went to multiple physical therapy sessions at the clinic recommended by my surgeon but the pain and inability to use my left arm continued and prevented me from enjoying many aspects of my active lifestyle. The use of my left arm was very limited – lifting it even to shoulder height was painful, I could not pull it across my chest, I couldn’t play golf (which I love), wasn’t able to do chores, had trouble driving, exercising, etc. I was very fortunate to be referred to Pursuit Therapy by a friend – my golf instructor. She had done a lot of research for herself and advised me that this was the best therapy clinic in the Orlando area. She was absolutely right! After spending time on their website and also reading all their testimonials, I made an appointment. From my first visit and 90 minute evaluation with Dr. Michael Fabrick I felt hope that I could have a lifestyle without discomfort and pain. I booked 10 sessions with Dr. Fabrick (twice a week) and with the passing of each week, I could feel definite improvements. During each session, he would explain in detail what he was doing and why he was doing it; he did only manual therapy and sent me home with exercises to do. He also did dry needling which helped me tremendously. At the end of my 10 sessions, he gave me relief from pain that I haven’t had for 12 months. Michael was also a joy to work and his caring nature and sense of humor made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy – thank you to Dr. Michael Fabrick, Dr. Ron Miller and everyone else at Pursuit.“

“I no longer suffer from those debilitating headaches and I feel better than I have in years!”

Kacie R .

Lawyer – Orlando, FL

“Prior to scheduling an appointment at Pursuit Physical Therapy I was having terrible, incapacitating headaches that could not be relieved. My headaches had been misdiagnosed as migraines and despite being prescribed a migraine medication, my headaches persisted and were only temporarily relieved by the medication. Seeing no relief from the medication and suspecting that these in fact were not migraines at all, I decided to schedule an appointment at Pursuit to see if there was anything they could do to help with my headaches. From day one Dr. Ron was so kind and caring and truly wanted to get to the bottom of what was causing my headaches. Dr. Ron quickly and properly diagnosed my headaches as stemming from an issue in my neck and upper traps and was able to completely resolve my headaches. I no longer suffer from those debilitating headaches and I feel better than I have in years. Thank you Dr. Ron for all your amazing work!“

“Ron had to be creative in his treatment plan… from having rods fused to my spine. I could never thank him enough!”

Debi W

Angie N.

“Prior to coming to Pursuit, I was having trouble sleeping due to right shoulder pain and my left hand going numb. Needless to say, sleeping on either side was interrupted with pain and/or numbness causing me very restless sleep at best. I had never been to a physical therapist, chiropractor or orthopedic doctor due to childhood Harrington rod surgery for scoliosis. I was very apprehensive about trying physical therapy, because of my rods, but was desperate for a good night sleep. Because of my special circumstances, Ron had to be creative in his treatment plan…and he did! He figured out the root cause for my discomfort (my lack of mobility over time from having rods fused to my spine) and treated me with the utmost care using different techniques so as to not affect my spine or the rods. I felt very comfortable with his weekly regime and after the first month saw significant progress. Between my weekly visits and my at home exercises, by the end of the 10 weeks, I was sleeping like a baby! I highly recommend Ron and Pursuit, where you will be treated like family. Ron’s kindness and caring nature are evident throughout the process, and I could never thank him enough!“

“After 2 accidents resulting in permanent injuries… I am excited I have had consecutive days of no pain at all!”

Paula F.

“I started therapy here after having had 2 accidents last year resulting in what I believed to be permanent injuries to my lower back. I had completed a physical therapy program (elsewhere) for each accident, leaving me feeling I would be in lifelong daily pain. I am excited that I have had consecutive days of no pain at all. More importantly, if the pain comes back from a sudden wrong move, I now have the tools to regain strength to recover. Thank you Dr Fabrick for your guidance and knowledge to make this my new reality. 😊“

“Michael quickly became the best PT I had ever worked with and he quickly became someone I would call a friend!”

Brody H.

“In April, I had ligament repairment surgery on my left ankle. In June, I headed down to Orlando for my summer internship. When I arrived in Orlando, I was still in a walking boot with no mobility in my ankle. My recruiter was the one who recommended Pursuit Therapy, and it was the best recommendation. I tore these ligaments for the first time in my senior year of High School, and when I attended physical therapy, I had a different therapist consistently. Each time, I would have to reexplain my injury and what progress I had already made.

When working with Michael, it was the same PT every time. He understood my injury and tried to help me recover as quickly as possible. Michael would push me to take leaps in my progression, but he would also listen when I felt unprepared for something. Michael quickly became the best PT I had ever worked with and quickly became someone I would call a friend. Even though I hated getting dry-needled and scraped with a piece of metal, I looked forward to my sessions because I enjoyed my conversations with Michael and would wake up the next morning feeling physically healthier than the day before. I experienced progress extremely fast and wish I could still work with him now.

What I would tell someone considering Pursuit Therapy would be working with Pursuit versus the clinic I am using at school is night and day. I am seeing less progress and significantly less personal care. While Michael is a fantastic PT, he is just as good of a human being. He will listen to your needs and concerns both physically and mentally. You won’t find better care anywhere else.“

I honestly owe it to Ron for giving me my life back…and he made me feel like I was the only person in the world that he was focused on!

“I decided to see Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy due to symptoms I had been experiencing from a neck injury I incurred six years previously.  The symptoms continued to get worse over that six-year span to the point where it was impossible to enjoy a normal life.   After countless hours and appointments spent with physicians all over the state each with their own opinions about what was going on with me, and all of them failing to help or even be able to create a rational results-based plan, I had virtually given up, and accepted that fact that I would be dealing with these symptoms for the rest of my life.

My wife spent a lot of time on the internet trying to find a results based physical therapist in the central Florida area.  At the time I was at the point where I felt like this was pointless exercise and never thought I’d be able to live a normal life again.  When she came across Ron’s website and showed me some of his videos I actually perked up and something said to me “this guy is going to help me”.  His videos explained exactly what pain and symptoms I was experiencing, the cause of those symptoms, and what programs he put in place for his patients to address and fix the root causes of the symptoms.  Most of the physicians I had seen previously wanted to put me on medications.  New meds, old meds, and some even prescribed me experimental medications to try and get rid of my debilitating migraines etc.  When I spoke to them about my situation, I could tell none of them really seemed to be listening but rather just wanted to put me on something and see their next patient.

That was how Ron was so different.  During my initial evaluation Ron made me feel like I was the only person in the world that he was focused on, and really dug into the root causes of my symptoms.  He showed a side of himself that I’ve only grown to know more, he truly cares about getting his patients pain free.  He asked in depth questions, brought out medical books that showed exactly what was going on, and he explained to me that it was going to be a long road, but he knew he could reduce my pain.  He told me how he was going to go about this, and for the first time, I knew I was seeing someone who had a plan that made sense.  This was truly one of the happiest moments in my life.   

Within eight sessions I felt like a completely different person and was even able to go on a vacation with my wife and her friends and enjoy my time.  After being with Ron for around a year now, I would say that I am back to 90-95% of myself, and that almost all my symptoms have dissipated through stretching, strengthening, getting back to exercising on my own, and the dry needling has helped exponentially as well for my headaches and migraines.  Obviously, most of Ron’s patients won’t need to see him as long as I have, but before I went to Ron, I would experience debilitating head flairs and migraines lasting for days as a result from  trying to perform simple tasks such as speaking, opening any type of door, picking up any item with any sort of weight to it, watching or working on any type of screen, driving, standing from a seated position, walking, walking up and downstairs, and I also had a terrible case of vertigo that I had been dealing with for 3 years.  Now my vertigo is gone, I’m driving on my own, I don’t even think about picking up items with any heft or weight to them, I don’t think about opening and closing doors, and I’m even back to running between 20-25 miles a week, and exercising at home.  If anyone in my life, whether they be friends, family, or even casual acquaintances needed any type of physical therapy whether it be minor or major I wouldn’t let them go anywhere besides Pursuit Physical Therapy.   

I honestly owe it to Ron for giving me my life back, and he happens on top of everything to be one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met in my entire life.  I consider him a true friend.“

“I cannot put into words how appreciative I am of Ron Miller and Pursuit Physical Therapy—he has sincerely changed my life.”

Deanna L.

Former Ballet Dancer – Winter Park, FL

After a bad back injury backstage in 2013, I thought I would never be the same person again. I was constantly in pain, constantly re-pinching nerves, constantly taking sick days from work to lay in bed with back spasms. I’d been to dozens of physical therapists before I found Pursuit, all of whom told me to “rest, ice and stretch.” Those physical therapists gave me exercises and told me that I wasn’t flexible enough and my hamstrings were tight even though I spent the first hour of my day every day stretching. I had lost hope in physical therapy and resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be “broken” for the rest of my life. Then, I found Ron through a mutual friend. During the consultation, he recognized almost instantly that my sciatica was a result of neural tension and nerve scarring which came to be when I herniated a disc in my lumbar. I’d never been told anything close to that. From the initial consultation, his one-on-one approach to patient care meant that I was seeing just one physical therapist for one hour who was entirely focused on my goals. When I first walked into Pursuit’s lobby, I was at a 5/10 pain level and it was a “good day.” We discussed my goals for recovery and I told Ron that I wanted to “be less in pain.” Now, three months later, I am working out every day, I am back to ballet, and I haven’t felt an ounce of back pain in over a month. I cannot put into words how appreciative I am of Ron Miller and Pursuit Physical Therapy—he has sincerely changed my life.

“I finally have my life back, and that means the world to me. I cannot thank Dr. Martin and Pursuit Physical Therapy enough!”

Alisha K.

Occupational Therapist – Orlando, FL

I am an occupational therapist that was injured on the job. After going through workers compensation for my shoulder injury, I was still experiencing shoulder pain and episodes of dizziness that highly affected my ability to work, care for myself, and my home. It was a long frustrating process where a neck injury was also found but no one could tell me what exactly was the cause of my issues. A very trustworthy and knowledgable coworker recommended Pursuit Physical Therapy. He said if anyone could solve my complex issue, they could. I was desperate to get back to normal, so I went to see Dr. Trey Martin. He was professional but friendly and didn’t dismiss me. He actually listened to my concerns like others hadn’t. I was highly impressed by his thorough research to apply current evidenced based practices and techniques to solve my symptoms. He figured out what the core of problem was when no one else did. I started experiencing symptom relief approximately 3 weeks into therapy. Now, I can lift my heavy patients at work without pain, dizziness, or fear of collpasing. I can finally do the dishes, laundry, and vaccuming again without having to take a break every 5 minutes. The treatment experience as well as the results are priceless to me. I honestly thought I was never going to be able to be an acute care occupational therapist again, which is my passion. I finally have my life back, and that means the world to me. I cannot thank Dr. Martin and Pursuit Physical Therapy enough.

“After 15 years…All I can say is the pain is TOTALLY gone…and I feel great!”

“I can’t recommend Ron highly enough. He is professional, thorough, intuitive and very personable. I saw him initially for “frozen shoulder” that I developed from a slip and fall on a hard floor. He very patiently worked me through the process and I received a full healing of that painful mess. I have NO residual limitations while is great as I am a yoga instructor and was concerned about that. Additionally, while seeing Ron, we also diligently worked on severe lower back pain that I had been suffering with for over 15 years. All I can say is the pain is TOTALLY gone.. I feel great and am able to be fully engaged in every aspect of my life now, PAIN FREE. I am thankful that I chose to work with Ron. He is a true blessing!!“

“I thank God every single day. Ron has changed my life. Literally. I’m totally off all of the Gabapentin now…I can’t believe how great it feels to be normal again without headaches.”

Sally E.

“I’ve suffered with severe  headaches/migraines for over 10 years. I’ve been to 3 different chiropractors and 2 neurologists and an oral surgeon. I’ve been to the ER and had multiple MRIs and CTs. I’ve tried several different diets and supplements. Not to mention all of the different drugs the Drs have tried on me. Some of them with terrible side effects. I’ve been through PT and massage therapy. I’ve even tried spinal decompression and acupuncture. I felt like my life was essentially over. I couldn’t even go on vacation without losing whole days to the headaches and vomiting.  There was no rhyme or reason. No real triggers. I would get them at all times of the day and night. I was so depressed.
Then I read a book about a new therapy called dry needling. I googled it and happened upon Pursuit Therapy with Dr. Ron.
I thank God every single day. Ron has changed my life. Literally. I’m totally off all of the Gabapentin. And I went from taking 2-3 Imitrex a week to only 4 in TEN weeks.
The clinic is very clean, and everyone is very professional. And it’s one on one treatment. No switching to different therapist or sharing a therapist with several different patients at the same time.
It took about 4 weeks to start breaking the cycle. After that there was steady progress. I can’t believe how great it feels to be normal again. I’m telling you that your health is your life. You owe it to yourself to live life to the fullest and you can’t do that while in pain. Pursuit Therapy can help. I can’t recommend them enough. The difference in my life is incredible.“

I worked with Maryann for six sessions and saw a significant improvement!… Pursuit’s guidance was invaluable in helping me regain my confidence and take control of my life again!

Roberta R.

“After giving birth twice, I started experiencing incontinence every time I sneezed or coughed. It was affecting my daily life, so when I saw an ad from Pursuit, I knew it was time to take action. I worked with Maryann for six sessions and saw a significant improvement. She taught me proper breathing techniques and how to control my body when I needed to cough or sneeze, so I wouldn’t leak anymore. The workout was intense every time I met with her, and I now continue to do stretches and exercises at home to maintain full control over my body. Pursuit’s guidance was invaluable in helping me regain my confidence and take control of my life.“

“I am extremely grateful to Ron for getting me healthy. I can live my life how I want!”

I went to Pursuit for my really sharp knee pain above my knee cap. It kept my from jumping, dancing, squatting down basically it hurt to do anything fun. I even had surgery (mistake!) to help alleviate the pain. I tried Pursuit because I read good reviews and thought, why not give it a try. I didn’t feel like I was being rushed out the door there and he was so sure he could help he would refund me if he could not help. Never ever heard anything like that before. I would say I got results pretty fast. I felt better a little each week until suddenly I had no pain. Now I can run, jump, squat just about anything that involves the knee without knee pain! I came to Pursuit after trying many different things and therapies and found no relief. I found Pursuit on Yelp and after reading all the great reviews, I figured I could try it. I sent an email late at night and to my astonishment I received a reply from Ron the very next morning. I started PT that week with Ron. I had tried PT twice before with no results. I actually had a hard time believing this could be any different but I really wanted to get better. I thought the foam rolling was terrible because it was painful. I did it though along with all my other homework. Every week I felt a little better, I did have 1 set back but I kept at it. I am now back to my old self and doing my favorite activities like figure skating, aerial silks and snowboarding vacations! All with no pain and no fear of pain. I have learned how I got in the situation I was in and I now know how to keep myself strong and limber which has kept me pain free and extremely happy. • Fun list of things I have tried that did not help at all! 1. Physical therapy twice 2. Hyaluronic acid shots in knee 3. Knee cap manipulation 4. Cortisone shots 5. Prolo therapy 6. PRP 7. Scape of bone spurs 8. Acupuncture many times 9. Every pill, tincture and cream for just about any ailment I was told I have. 10. Any ridiculous thing I saw on the Internet, line sleeping with onions and salt on my knee or sleeping with a vinegar pack on my knee. 11. Surgery to remove scar tissue from my quad tendon. I am extremely grateful to Ron for getting me healthy. I can live my life how I want and not have to have live life on the sidelines because of my pain.

My pelvic floor is now stronger and I no longer have incontinence issues!… I would absolutely recommend Maryann as well as the entire Pursuit physical therapy practice!

Lauren T.

“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!”

“I can now play tennis pain free…I highly recommend Pursuit!”

Autumn S.

“I went to see Ron because of intense muscle pain I had since I was 14. I was referred from my mother who had a great experience going to Ron. At Pursuit, I was not just another number and was the only patient focused on during my sessions. Ron was the only doctor who did not suggest surgery to fix my symptoms. I can now play tennis pain free, which is something I never thought I would be able to do again. To anyone on the fence on whether to go to Pursuit or not, I highly recommend it!”

“After 1 session I was pain free and had full range of motion!”

Debi W

Ed S.

“Neck tightness in my trapezius brought me in. I’ve had chiropractic adjustments in the past and they were much quicker sessions with less back and forth conversation. This visit with Michael at Pursuit Physical Therapy did not feel rushed. There was plenty of conversation to help me understand what my issues were, what most likely caused them and what needed to be done to solve them. Within 48 hours of treatment and the exercises to do at home, I was feeling much better with a lot of pain relief. I can turn my head with full range of motion to the right and touch my chin to my clavicle with no pain. This was not the case before seeing Michael. I would recommend giving Pursuit a shot at treatment. Nothing is guaranteed but they were able to help me feel much better in a short period of time so hopefully my experience may be yours as well.”

Pursuit will not have you wasting your time and money with a run of the mill plan to fix your problems. The plan you receive will be tailored to your needs!..and I’m thrilled with my results!

Mike R.

“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!”

“Within a matter of a few weeks treatment, my pain went from a 9 to a 0…without needing surgery!”

I had been dealing with severe lower back pain and sciatic never pain down my right leg for over ten months. The pain was so bad I could not bend over to complete simple household tasks, let alone train for the occasional 5Ks I like to run for fun. I eventually gave in to getting and MRI, where a herniated disc was found and subsequently three different back doctors labeled me as a candidate for back surgery. But I had heard stories of one back surgery leading to subsequent back surgeries and I really didn’t want to start down that road.  I am a member of a local women’s running group on Facebook. On the page, there had been previous conversations about local physical therapists who had helped runners with injuries. And Dr. Ron Miller was a name that was continuously given as someone who helped.

When I went to my initial assessment with Dr. Miller, he listened to all of my symptoms and even previous injuries/pain I had dealt with and created a treatment plan that not only addressed my back issue but also helped with previous hip and knee pain. Within a matter of a few weeks treatment, my pain went from a 9 to a 0 and I was able to complete simple tasks. And after about six weeks I was able to start Dr. Miller’s return to run program.  I am grateful because I have my life back and I am able to go about my day and not have to worry about my back hurting or getting in the way of achieving what I want to accomplish. I would give everyone this advice: don’t let the doctor rush you into a quick surgery. Seek out someone like Dr. Miller and enjoy a less invasive form of healing.

“What makes this practice so unbelievably different is the one-on-one treatment time!”

Julie C.

“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!“

“Michael’s care was way better than any other PT I’ve worked with…and this allowed me to compete at my highest level.”

“Michael is incredible to work with. He is extremely dedicated and hard working and that’s why I chose to work with him. He rehabbed my wrist and elbow for the last year and a half and I am very happy with the results. Each day we had a plan and a goal that we achieved. His care was way better than any other PT I’ve worked with. I saw results very quickly and got better each week. This allowed me to compete at my highest level. He is very professional and will fix anything that is hurting. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing an injury”

“The personalize care here is outstanding!…I never thought I would have such great results!”

Ed J.

I have experienced chronic lower back pain for the past 4 years. I was told that I was not a candidate for surgery and that I needed to pursue other therapies including Pain Management and Physical Therapy. Over those 4 years I was treated at 5 different PT clinics and felt that there was no hope for help with my condition.  Fortunately, I was encouraged to see Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy by friends who had had amazing results. I was impressed with the testimonials on his website so I set up an appointment. Ron’s spent a lot of time evaluating my condition and was sure he could help relieve my pain. Over the course of my treatment, Ron set up specialized Home Exercise Programs and PT visits at his office. The personalize care was outstanding. Each visit focused on my pain relief and my condition, unlike other PT clinics where your treatment times are shared with other patients. This type of individualized and focused treatment provided great results. In a few weeks I could see a reduction in pain. Further visits continued to improve my condition. I never thought I would have such great results. I use to cringe to bend over and pickup my grandchildren, with Ron’s help and coaching, I am squatting 130 lbs at the gym!  Ron is a great Practitioner. He is a caring and kind and I would and will recommend him to anyone who needs real relief from muscle or skeletal pain without drugs. Thank you Ron.

“In 2 months… I had no more pain! Thanks Ron!”

My middle back was really bothering me, I had aching pains that wouldn’t go away and it was very uncomfortable so I decided to see Ron.  My dad used Ron when he had plantar fasciitis and he helped him tremendously. So, he was the first physical therapist we called.  I also had been to several chiropractors and massage therapists and neither were able to help relieve my pain. When I saw Ron, he knew I needed to do and gave me exercises to do to strengthen and stretch my back. This helped to completely get rid of my pain and not just feel temporary results. Within two to three weeks I started feeling relief and this was a huge blessing, but about two months after I had no pain.  I am a competitive water skier and was having trouble skiing due to my back pain and now I am able to train without any pain.  I would absolutely tell others to see Ron! Ron helped me tremendously and was always checking in to see how I was doing and offering up help. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Not only is Trey Martin incredibly handsome, his services rendered were top notch. He was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming. Helped me clear up my shoulder injury and educated me in prevention as well. Excellent service! 10/10! Would hurt myself again to come here!

“Thank you Dr.Ron! You are amazing and you have magic in your hands!”

Can we do an extra star?

I was at an excruciating 10/10 on my pain threshold meter when I started searching endlessly through a sea of meh! Physical Therapists offices and firms. My back was a Hot Mess and I needed to walk , not hunched over anymore.  I needed somewhere that was not a therapy factory where the therapists changed on you every week and looked at a “diagnosis sheet” when you walked in, to translate what was going on with your broken body.
When a friend recommended Pursuit, and more specifically, Dr.Ron, with his intense attention to detail, his intuition, his kindness and what I now call his “magic touch” – I knew he was the man to fix me. He fixed me! I’m more sorted than I’ve been at 25, honestly! I run, walk and swim through life like a boss triathlete and am joining a kick-boxing class. Not bad for a middle-aged millennial with a bad back.

It’s been a month since I finished up with his phenomenal program- it rehabilitated, restrengthened and revived my pelvis ( turns out it was my pelvis all along, and not my back like all the other physical therapy “bots” have told me before).  Before we started therapy, I made Dr.Ron promise that he would get me back up and walking in my Louboutins in 2 months. He kept his promise. I’m in heels all the the time now, except when I sleep.

Thank you Dr.Ron! You are amazing and you have magic in your hands!

“I discovered Pursuit Physical Therapy after researching online and booked an initial consultation after reading the successful reviews. After my consultation with Michael about the sharp immobilizing pain in the center of my back as a result of past sports’ injuries, I felt confident in his abilities to help me regain my mobility and strength. Michael gave me a specific and personalized plan including both in-office treatments and at-home exercises to do on my own. I was amazed that I began to feel improvement within a day or two. After completing my treatment plan, I can now get through a working week of being on my feet and active for long hours without pain or compromising my mobility. If you are considering Pursuit Physical Therapy for treatment, I would 100% recommend not waiting any longer. It is fully worth the time and investment to ensure lasting results with continued support after treatment by way of at-home workouts to motivate strength-building and prevent relapse!”

“Ron was great at Pursuit Physical Therapy. They take the time to diagnose you and listen to your concerns. I had been at 3 different places for physical therapy after my accident and Pursuit is hands down the best PT in Orlando. They were able to get me walking and functioning again. My pain went from a 8 to a 3 in two weeks. They go to the source of the pain and correct it. They only work one on one, so your treatment is customized to your injury. I have referred other friends and family to Pursuit and all of them were treated and fixed in just a few visits. Their goal is to get your injury treated quickly so you can achieve your goals. I will always go to Pursuit first when I have an injury.“

“I am finally free from a debilitating life!”

“Pain stemming from a college cheerleading accident, 25 years prior is what caused me to consult with Pursuit. I chose Pursuit due to a high regarded recommendation from a trusted professional and friend. The unique treatment I had for each area I needed help with, was nothing I had ever experienced before with new techniques I hadn’t heard of. I have been to well over 3 dozen physicians, alternative treatments, therapists, surgeries, medications, etc over the years. No one has done what he has. I got instant relief on the first day, more long-lasting relief easily within a couple of weeks, and the couple of months I was there solidified what he was doing to retrain my body and put things back where they belonged. You’ll understand more what that feels like when you receive treatment. I don’t have many limits anymore if there is something I would want to do. Aside from saying something like, ‘I can now do triathlons every weekend!’ I’ll say that I can now walk freely around my neighborhood, sit in church for over an hour and be a passenger in a car without pain. I am back to exercising and have added tennis into my life for the first time and am able to truly participate and enjoy it. If I feel any pain, I know exactly what to do at home to fix it immediately with the techniques I have been trained with. Ron sincerely cares about your pain and the why behind it. He WILL find out why and he will fix it. Since then I have referred my daughter and she referred her employer. Everyone is on their way to healing for the first time in so many years. It feels frustrating to know that there is someone out there who had the techniques and answers but most everyone else treats patients the same way or with only what they believe their specialty will do. This is absolutely unique to you and I am finally free from a debilitating life.”

I saw Dr. Miller because my sciatica pain on my left side was excruciating. Cortisone and epidurals offered only temporary nominal relief. My normal household and daily routines were not possible nor was my 3 mile daily walking exercise. I chose Ron Miller was because he was recommended by a family member who works in the legal field.  Ron’s approach was genuine and caring. He was committed to improving my physical and emotional well being with a long term quality of life plan. Within 3 weeks I could feel a great improvement! I can now stand for more than 20 minutes and take 3 mile walks through the park or at the beach. I can once again sit in the car, on a plane, or at a restaurant without being uncomfortable.  Before committing to surgical procedures or pain killers, give Pursuit the opportunity to use their genuine, intuitive and dedicated skills toward improving your quality of life…long term. Ron’s character is beyond reproach and he operates with pure integrity. Warm and compassionate “bedside” manner which is hard to come by in the medical field these days.

“I came in to see Dr. Michael Fabrick after suffering from a major muscle spasm in my lower back. I had been sedentary for about four months earlier in the year due to illness, and I knew that it would take more than a shot to get my body back in good working order and avoid further injury. I specifically chose Pursuit Physical Therapy after it was suggested that I find a place that used muscle energy technique as part of their practice. I recognized the name Pursuit because of their involvement in the community and generosity to local nonprofits. Even after one visit, I was impressed with their desire to find the root of the problem and work toward long-term solutions. After two visits, I was no longer in constant pain while sitting at my desk. It took a couple months to fully heal, but I’m now stronger than I’ve been in a long time, no longer in pain, and I have a realistic, doable plan for staying healthy. If you’re living with daily pain, I’d highly recommend starting treatment at Pursuit. They’re kind, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable.”

Dr Ron is AH-MAZING. I originally came in for an issue with my back. He evaluated me and said that he expected I would be better in 4 – 6 sessions and on the 5th session, I was healed! I went back to get treated for tennis elbow and he had me fixed in one session. He is smart, clear about treatment and his goal is to get you better – not to keep coming back to him. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Ron for whatever is giving you trouble.

American Ninja Warrior Season 12 – Orlando, FL

As a Ninja Warrior athlete and competitor, I spend a lot of time hanging, swinging and generally pushing my shoulders to their limits. I decided to try Pursuit Physical Therapy because of terrible shoulder pain from a combination of overuse and a snowboarding injury that I suffered earlier that year. I tried for months to manage the pain on my own, but decided to see a professional after it started to affect my physical and mental performance during practice and competitions. I chose Pursuit specifically because of Dr. Trey Martin’s experience with helping athletes get back to their sport.

When I went in for my first session, I was having trouble doing even one pushup with out pain and was having mental blocks doing even the simplest ninja obstacles. I was really impressed with Trey’s level of compassion and skill. He did an excellent job at explaining the “how” and “why” of my treatment program. I really appreciated how detailed his weekly Home Exercise Programs were and how they were tailored to my goals and skill level.

After only about 4 sessions of treatment, I was amazed at how much my pain had decreased and my range of motion had increased! Halfway through my treatment package, my shoulder pain levels were so low, that we decided to also treat my chronic patellar knee pain for my remaining sessions! Now I’m able to perform all my ninja skills – whether it’s swinging, agility or warped wall – with 100% confidence and 0% pain! Since the completion of my program, I’ve had the honor to compete in American Ninja Warrior Season 12… with no fear of pain or injury. Thanks Trey for helping me get back to the sport I love!

I never leave reviews, but Trey Martin got me back to 100% so fast that I had to rave about it! The 1 on 1 approach is un-paralleled when it comes to rehabilitation after an injury. That said, I’m really thankful I chose to go with Pursuit after reading these reviews when I dislocated my shoulder. I reached out to Pursuit and SAME DAY was being analyzed by Dr. Trey Martin. He developed a routine for me to perform at home, with bands he supplied, to start easing back in to mobility. Every visit he brought something new to the table, and was really skilled at passing on his knowledge to me. He listened to me when I said where the pain and weaknesses were, and made sure to be careful when pushing the boundaries of my mobility. He takes the extra time to really figure out exactly what’s the source of the issue and knows what he’s doing to heal it. That’s the kind of service you generally don’t get in group classes, or with other professionals who just run you through their strict plan. Within the 6 sessions, over a month, my shoulder is feeling back to normal, and what’s better is he provided a 12 week strength conditioning program so that I can rest assured that my shoulder will stay where it’s supposed to be. In the past when I Dislocated, it was almost a year before it was healed enough to be confident that it wouldn’t pop out. I’m so glad I visited Trey when it happened this time, only took 1 month and I’m back to my favorite sports, and day to day feel comfortable. The knowledge I’ve gained I’ll take with me throughout life to prevent this sort of thing happening ever again, all thanks to Trey. Rest assured, they know what they’re doing here.

“It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Dr. Ron Miller as your next Physical Therapist! I am 42 years old, a mom of 2, and running enthusiast. I have had a plethora of running injuries and have been to just about every “big” orthopedic and physical therapy group in Orlando. I have suffered for years with plantar fasciitis in both feet, hip problems, a chronic hamstring strain and, most recently, pain in my Achilles. I have done and tried everything..from ordering supplements online, spending countless hours searching for solutions on the internet, spending money on shoes, inserts, massage equipment, and even a personal ultrasound wand. Just when I was about to give up the activity I love the most, Dr. Miller was recommended to me by two individuals I highly respect; one a personal trainer in the Orlando area, and the other a physical therapy student. What makes Dr. Miller’s approach different is his ability to highly personalize a treatment plan. I was so tired of being just a “body” going through the system; each approach to injuries the same. The focus was always on getting over the injury..but never permanently assessing what caused the injury in the first place, and fixing that. I was tired of medical personnel telling me to “just swim!” or worse..stop running forever. Dr. Miller believed in me, and in my ability to begin running again pain free. He is thorough, thoughtful, intelligent, and capable. He is constantly checking in with me via email and text to make sure I am following our plan, and feeling good. We have been working together for about 2 months, and I see so much improvement! Although my recovery isn’t totally complete, I can honestly say this is the best I have felt in years. Let me repeat that.. years. I am able to run short distances pain free! An incredible victory! I know that as I continue to get stronger and add mileage, Dr. Miller will be cheering me on; that kind of care and encouragement is unique to him, and hard to find. I am so grateful I did!” – Meredith B.

“I am an engineer who primarily works at a desk. In November 2020 I had pain from my neck through my left hand. I went through insurance and found a physical therapist to help determine a cause and solution for my neck issue. After a doctor’s visit at the Physical therapist clinic and evaluation, I was sent to Physical therapy with only an X-ray. During my time there, this therapist did not make me feel important. Would show me the exercise and then tell me to do the exercise. More like a personal trainer. After the first visit, it was repeat, repeat, repeat with the therapist telling me to do an exercise then leaves and comes back. In the end the therapy did not help. Fast forward to March 2021, I was in even worse pain after continuing the treatment provided. At this time doctors were telling me there was a good chance I would need surgery due to have two bulging disc (one on top of the other) in my neck from an MRI. My neck to left hand pain had worsened and my left pointer finger became numb. I asked my sister-in-law for advice for who was the best physical therapist in the area which led me to Pursuit Physical Therapy. After my first meeting with Trey Martin, we walked through the root cause and how he would attack the issue. The first day I had take home exercises and videos to do outside of our therapy session which I still use today. Each session was a one on one setting where he was able to work closely. He had a huge passion and drive to want to make me healthier. I had not found anyone like Trey up until this point and I quickly became a believer. After 6 weeks of sessions with Trey, my numbness had completely gone away and I was pain free. It was such a huge relief knowing I wasn’t going to need surgery. It has been over 6 months since my last session with Trey and I have zero symptoms. I was given the tools to maintain and improve my situation. I would recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy a million times over. I am back to playing golf 3-4 times a week, 4-5 days at the gym, and out surfing again. Huge thanks to Trey!”

Back in 2020 I suffered a severely aggravated herniated disc in my neck. I was referred to Pursuit Physical Therapy by my physician and Ron got me in immediately. We had to work really slowly into treatment, he even recommended taking some time off and gave me some at home work to do (with mostly rest,) in order to calm the symptoms down so the treatment could be effective. The second round when I came back moved very quickly. Within a few session he was able to do full retractions and I had no pain. I’m a professional musician, piano player and singer and it was incredibly difficult to get through my gigs, thankfully that’s not the case anymore. Outside of the fact that the treatment was incredibly effective Ron is just an absolute great guy, he cares about his patients and business very much and you can tell by the care he puts into both. He even treated some muscular issues (outside of what I went in for originally) I was having specific to my voice and it was truly insane!! I sang freely and my stamina was amazing. So if you’re in the hunt for a physical therapy clinic with absolute zero ego, and incredible care I couldn’t recommend Pursuit more!!

I had an accident in December that caused a concussion and whiplash. After PT, meds and chiro, I was in pain that was made worse by working every day as an admin. I was desperate for relief and yet the only suggestion my doctor had was more PT.  I came to Pursuit on a recommendation from a friend in Indiana (a PTA) who felt everything on Pursuit’s website said the right things. I tossed it around and delayed because I just didn’t think more PT would help.  It wasn’t until I went to Pursuit and saw Dr. Miller that I realized I did need PT, but not the kind I was sent to before! Pursuit and Dr. Miller are unique in the way that he evaluates and diagnoses your root cause issue, then designs treatment and 1:1 care unlike regular PT that only treats what another doctor has diagnosed.
.
During the eval, Dr. Miller’s full attention – listening, asking the right questions – was on me and understanding my pain. He didn’t hear “whiplash” and start immediately with treatment for that. He waited to hear everything and was able to get to the root cause of my issues. I had multiple issues – whiplash, thoracic outlet syndrome and shoulder impingement- not all caused by the whiplash!  Since then, session after session he’s worked hard on fixing each and every issue. He doesn’t give me a bunch of exercises to do during the visit but actually does manipulations and treatment (1:1 care the entire hour). By the 2nd week (only 4 visits), I was amazed by how much my pain was reduced. I was 75% pain free from the whiplash.  I regret taking so long to decide to see him. His practice is truly like none other and if I ever need PT again, I will only go to Pursuit. Thank you Dr. Miller for caring about your patients and working hard to make our lives better!

“I have been battling chronic neck pain due to herniated discs after a car accident from 9 years ago. After years of seeking relief through physical therapy, 2 neck surgeries, and conventional treatment with prescription medications with no results, I complained to my son how frustrated I was and how the relief I get was minimal if at all sometimes. My son who is also a physical therapist recommended that I consult with Ron Miller, DPT, OCS since he had done an internship with him. Reluctantly I went with the hopes that this time would be different. I was not disappointed! The very first visit I was evaluated and afterwards my first treatment I experienced significant relief; something that I have never experienced before.

Dr. Miller recommend an extended program since my chronic pain was severe due to years of enduring non-stop pain. He took the time to evaluate my case and follow up to see if there was improvement in my condition. He never gave up and tried different approaches if there was no relief. After 3 weeks of treatment I was able to relinquish 3 types of medications that only gave me minimal relief and kept me sleepy. I am virtually pain free without taking medications. I feel alert and am able to do mostly anything without experiencing severe pain. I was a none believer after so many physical therapists and doctors had failed to find the cause of my pain and had me doing the wrong exercises for my pain. I highly recommend Ron! He will thoroughly evaluate you and follow up to make sure you are feeling relief. If you are suffering with chronic pain, he will definitely work with you, listen to your concerns, and then follow up with you to make sure of your progress. I started with a pain of a level 8 with pain medications and now I am down to a 0-2 at most without medications. Ron has also given me the exercises to do to continue to maintain my results. Best decision I ever made! Thanks Ron! I have normal life again!“

I’m a basketball player who’s been dealing with ankle problems for years. Multiple sprains in both ankles and surgery for a bone spur in my right ankle. I tried everything. Talked to multiple doctors, physical therapists, and alternative healers and it wasn’t until I was introduced to Pursuit by a trusted friend that I finally found a solution to heal my pain. The treatment approach was individualized to my unique situation and in just a few short months I was finally able to get back on the basketball court without pain. I felt like it would take a miracle to say that. I’m extremely grateful to the entire Pursuit team for giving me my passion back. For anyone on the fence about starting with Pursuit all I can say is stop waiting. Pain isn’t permanent you just have to make healing a priority. Living with pain is not worth waiting. The Pursuit team will take care of you. I lived with pain much longer than I needed to. Don’t do that. Start as soon as you can.

“In March 2019 after an obstacle course race I felt a familiar pain in my hip area- thinking I pulled my hip flexor… again. After over a month of stretching, icing, heating pads; ibuprofen, and NOT RUNNING (insert sad face) I still could not walk without limping and getting up from a sitting position was pretty painful. I found out about Pursuit on Facebook and after all the incredible testimonials about how much Katie had helped other runners, I decided to come in for a consultation. Katie listened to me and asked plenty of questions to make the most educated decision. She also told me it was NOT my hip flexor but turned out to be a hip and spine issue- most likely caused by a change in jobs where I was sitting at a desk more and NOT caused by my running. After my first session I felt completely different and was actually walking without limping. Katie gave me exercises to do at home to help and practices for work to help my hip and spine stay aligned. Within three sessions I was back to walking and getting up with NO pain and able to run again. I came back for some follow-up and any time I had questions; Katie answered them. I now know more about my body and what I need to do as a runner to keep myself from injury. Thank you, Katie, for giving me the tools to be able to run again!!!.”

I was diagnosed with scoliosis 10 years ago and have since felt limited in my ability to enjoy life because of my non-stop back pain. I had seen many chiropractors around Orlando but none have helped as much as Ron has. His professionalism and care are unmatched. After just a few visits my back pain had gone completely away! His home care plans and stretches help so much for continual pain relief. He knows what he’s doing and I can assure you, that you will be glad you chose him. I can move and live free of back pain now thanks to Ron and his team at Pursuit Physical Therapy.

Lumbar Fusion Patient

I had a spinal fusion with instrumentation in 2007 and was doing very well. I recently hurt my back and I completed almost two months of physio at another facility. I felt very frustrating on satisfied with my care. They seem very casual about my pain and with the lack of improvement. No matter what I was experiencing they did the same thing over and over again. They seem to have their standard treatments for someone with back pain and spinal fusion and no thought was given to anything outside the box. I was still experiencing pain I was very unstable.
I researched online for alternative therapy and it had to been a better answer. I came across Pursuit therapy and with their many great reviews I called him an appointment with Ron. At my first visit with Ron I was so encouraged with with his thorough history evaluation and plan of care. He didn’t find what he thought was the root cause my pain. No one had ever discussed what actually was causing my pain with me? Ron told me his plan and said that he believed that he can have my pain reduced by over 50% in only 2 weeks! If I wasn’t pleased with my treatment that you would refund my whole money. Whoever does that? His conference was so reassuring. After two visits my pain was decreased by almost 75% and we continued with treatments and strength training and buy my two months and introduce light running into my workout.
I am so thankful that I found Ron. He helped me to rehab my back so I could resume my previous activity level. The strength training program he has me feeling strong especially in my core. I can hardly believe the difference in my care with Ron from the previous facility. I wasted two months and hundreds of dollars at that first facility. Thankfully Ron’s knowledge in the care has me enjoying life again. Thanks so much Ron!”

Golfer – Maitland, FL

As someone who has experienced chronic lower back pain (at points, debilitating), I’ve tried countless doctors, physical therapists, and various other treatments. By and large, all of the physical therapy I had received prior to Ron was extremely cookie cutter and not personalized to my injuries. I have tried several physical therapy programs (the large hospital systems in Orlando) and received no personalized attention and didn’t get any positive results. I was simply a name on a sheet.
.
Ron took the time to understand my situation and the source of the pain. He devised a very tailored and personalized plan to help me not only be pain-free but also be in a position to resume the various sports I play. I would strongly recommend Ron as THE physical therapist in the greater Central Florida area. Ron’s treatments are unparalleled…head and shoulders above the other various facilities in Orlando. It’s great to be back on the field and pain-free…thank you, Ron!

I had a bad sport related injury that needed a great deal of rehab for my lower back. We flew up to Duke Sports Medicine in North Carolina for their opinion they actually recommended me to go to Pursuit Physical Therapy and see Dr. Ron Miller. We looked at their online reviews and they were amazing so we decided to go there. The care I received here has been world-class and beyond expectations. The care is personal too, and tailored for, the patient, their injury, and their progression. Ron cares about his patient’s and their recovery, and he went above and beyond not only treating my injury, but always available for questions or concerns. I started to see almost immediate improvement and saw dramatic results in what is considered a short amount of time for my injury. I am now back playing soccer at 100%, back training hard, and getting ready for the fall soccer season. More importantly, I can play sports and in games now without any pain or discomfort. If you are thinking about going to Pursuit, do it! You have picked the best! They care about you and your recovery and it shows in all they do. I highly recommend going to Pursuit!”

“For the last two years I have been battling what I thought was severe Sciatica, which first presented itself one morning when I literally woke up and could hardly make it to the bathroom. I had been feeling some discomfort when I was running, but this was different; it was paralyzing. The pain ran all the way down my lower back to my toes and it was excruciating. I went straight to my primary care doctor for relief to just get through the day and that began my two-year journey for a more permanent solution. At first, I tried just resting it to see if I could rebound, but that didn’t work. The minute I started running again, it came back so badly that I couldn’t even make it through my run. Dr. Baxley recommended that I try another form of exercise, so I switched temporarily to biking and while that was better, I still felt the pain, especially when I went up and down the stairs. After trying a chiropractic doctor in vain, Dr. Baxley recommended that I see physical therapist, Ron Miller. He said that he, too, had battled something similar and that Ron had managed to help him. From the minute I met with Ron, I just felt like he was going to get to the bottom of my issue. He is an incredible listener and he asked a lot of questions regarding my symptoms, trying to get at the bottom of my issue. With each exercise, he tried to pinpoint the exact location of the pain to figure out the root cause and at around 6 weeks into therapy, he hit upon my problem: Proximal Hamstring syndrome. From there, it only took 2 or 3 more visits and I was home free. He prescribed a few additional exercises, which I had to commit to doing the exercises religiously, but once I did, I saw immediate results. This first time I ran on the treadmill, after recovery, I got off the equipment and cried, not in pain, but in joy. I didn’t realize how much I had missed running until I could finally run again, pain free. I would highly recommend Ron. He is a caring, talented, gifted therapist who changed my life for the better. And he is now also a cherished friend.” – Sandy H.

“I stuck with her recommendations and after 4 weeks of PT and I earned my black belt with my daughter!!!!”

I was 5 weeks away from testing for my black belt in taekwondo with my 9 year old daughter. It was our dream and goal to do so together. We had been training for 32 months. I injured my knee, possible micro tear in a ligament and had swelling, pain, loss of movement and could not bend it. Every movement was painful. I was referred to Katie and Pursuit by a friend who was also a PT. The entire experience has been pleasant and positive. The day I called they happened to have an opening for an evaluation. I loved the electronic information and care expressed over the phone. I also loved what I read on their website about not being a typical PT….and they were interested in helping with root causes and not just treating the symptoms. I knew this could be a good fit for me. The evaluation was thorough and treatment began that session too! Each session afterwards was handled with professionalism and care. Katie took time to listen well and ask appropriate questions. She explained what she was doing and why and answered my numerous questions. She tailored treatment to my needs each session and was very focused on both functionality and being able to do the specific movements needed to test for black belt. I loved getting the home exercises by email and with videos. We discovered that there were several issues from my ankle to my hip -with connective soft tissue and muscle loss. She worked on it all! I did see progress right away. I stuck with her recommendations and after 4 weeks of PT and I earned my black belt with my daughter!!!! I continued sessions because I was not done healing. I still needed to strengthen and build up endurance. Again she knew just what to do to make that happen. I finished my last session and I am honestly sad to not be going back as it was all so beneficial and pleasant. I am at about 90-95 percent and can now continue taekwondo, ride my bike, do my yoga stretches, climb stairs and fully extend and bend my knee (none of which I could do before). I could not be more pleased and highly recommend Katie and Pursuit!

I waited 7 years to treat my hip pain. The first night after treatment…. I wasn’t in pain laying down at night and within a couple of sessions I was 85% healed! Don’t wait for treatment and you deserve to get better! The cost is such an amazing value for the quality of life you will have back. Pursuit will change your life and you won’t want your sessions to end! You leave feeling better physically, emotionally and spiritually.

“Ron has been instrumental in my recovery from a crippling disc injury to my lower back (L4,L5,SI). I first visited Ron after a Chiropractor initiated my back injury and couldn’t find a remedy. After shuffling through many profiles I chose Ron because of his stellar reviews from former clients with similar injuries. What stood out most about Ron was his attention to detail as he EDUCATED me on how/what specific movements and exercises will help the injury. The process we need to take and exactly how long it will take. He took his time and really designed a program catered to my level of fitness and limitations. Being a Fit Pro that work with Professional athletes this was extremely important. With this new knowledge I am able to return to work and golf pain free! Thank you Ron!”

“I have never had such a positive experience with a medical professional, and I would recommend him to anyone experiencing pain.”

“I was in a very serious rollover car accident a few months prior to seeing Dr. Miller. I had neglected getting care for 2 months after the crash, and was very concerned that my pain was irreversible or chronic at that point. I was traveling during the time I sought care, and had seen 3 physical therapists and 2 chiropractors before Dr. Miller. He was by far the best, most attentive, most professional of them all. I was willing to try physical therapy, but thought I was beyond help. Not only did Dr. Miller dramatically lessen the pain I experienced (almost none now, and continuing to improve!) but he was wonderful at keeping me feeling positive and engaged in the process. I am so grateful for his expertise, skills, and support. I have never had such a positive experience with a medical professional, and I would recommend him to anyone experiencing pain.

I had three areas of pain, which were stemming from injuries that previous doctors couldn’t quite pinpoint. I felt that Dr. Miller listened very precisely to my descriptions of my pain, and changes in my pain. Each week we tried different exercises and stretches, and changed the treatment program according to my body’s responses. Two of my three areas of pain (neck and upper back) improved within 2 weeks, and the major area of pain (my hip flexor muscle and lower right back) improved by the 3/4th week. The hip and back pain was quite severe, and I was so thrilled to finally have exercises to lessen my pain, and strengthen those areas. I am an artist, and need to remain in various positions for extended periods of time. After my accident, I wasn’t able to do anything repetitive for more than a period of 20-30 minutes. Now after treatment, I can sit and work for 2-4 hours, bend over at the waist and upper back to perform tasks, and am currently working with a program of his to get back to running. It’s also worth noting that Dr. Miller was very efficient and helpful in preparing all the paperwork and funds to send in for reimbursement to my insurance company.”

“In 3 days I was back to 100% without ever needing to see my family doctor”

corey l

Corey L.

“I was having hip pain from running so I chose to see Ron rather than my Family Dr (who would order scans and eventually PT). I was having to take 2-3 days off between running days. Ron got me in quickly, did a few tests, and started treatment on my initial visit. He gave me exercises/stretches to do at home also and estimated 2-4 visits were needed. My next appointment went well and I was back to running daily after that visit.The final 2 appointments were not needed. Ron has followed up twice since then to make sure I’m still pain free and doing my homework.

So in 3 days total I was back to 100% without ever seeing my Family Doctor. I’m sure they could’ve gotten it fixed too but it usually takes a week to get that appointment, then another to get a scan scheduled, and finally another week to be referred to PT. So, getting in and treated so quickly along with being treated by Dr Ron personally makes Pursuit five stars. Also, before Dr Ron started his own practice he successfully treated me for a herniated disc. So I knew the level of treatment I would get and that’s why I went to Pursuit to be treated by Dr Ron.”

“I’m back to competing at full speed. I can’t recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy highly enough!”

“I went to see Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy after experiencing chronic elbow and wrist pain for over a year. He came highly recommended to me by a fellow competitive Crossfit athlete after I had previously gone through several different types of treatment for my arm with no lasting results. All of which included complete rest and anti-inflammatory medication. I was convinced that this was going to be an ongoing problem for me with no realistic path to 100% health. After an initial consultation, Ron was extremely confident that he could get my arm completely healthy, while continuing to be active during treatment. Ron’s approach is refreshing because it is entirely RESULTS driven. He laid out a clear plan to recovery and he worked he worked with me every week for several months to execute on the plan.Slowly but surely I started to feel better than I had in years. Now, after a lot of hard work and guidance, I’m almost completely back to competing at full speed. I can’t recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy highly enough!”

“When I asked my personal doctor for more assistance in dealing with pain in my right shoulder, she recommended Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy. On my first visit with Ron, he did a thorough evaluation and identified the underlying issue with my shoulder. He also helped me see that just trying to relieve symptoms with monthly massage therapy wasn’t going to solve the problem. While I’m in good health overall, I’m a middle-aged women who had slumped at my office desk for years and tended to work hours without stretching or taking a break. I’d created a problem that needed focus to undo. So Ron taught me exercises to strengthen my shoulder and improve my range of motion while helping me adjust my desk height and computer monitor setup. In other words, he approached the problem holistically. He also did manual therapy on my shoulder, which I believe made my recovery even faster. Within a week, the pain in my shoulder was significantly decreased. The entire treatment process was about five weeks, which was probably due to how weak I started. He also provided an ongoing home exercise program to continue strengthening my shoulder. A side benefit has been strengthening in my torso, although that was probably part of Ron’s plan too. One aspect of Ron’s treatment that I really like is the videos that he sent me each week that demonstrated the home exercise program activities. It’s very hard for me to remember what he demonstrated and what I did in the office during my visits, so having the videos is extremely helpful! What’s been amazing is that I’m realizing how much I’d been accommodating a reduced range of motion and pain in my shoulder for who knows how long! Now, I can get heavy dishes from the upper cabinets, reach objects in the back seat of the car, easily open and close the sunroof cover, sit comfortably at my desk without feeling a need to slump or lean on my elbows, and do many more activities that might not seem major but make a big difference in how I feel every day. I’m continuing with my home exercise program and am inspired to work on improving my overall fitness as well. Bottom line: I highly recommend Ron and Pursuit Physical Therapy. Thanks!” – Anne E.

“I would recommend anyone suffering with pain to visit Dr. Miller!”

robert d

Robert D.

“I recently spent the better part of 2 months obtaining required observation hours for DPT school under Dr. Miller. After just a couple of days, it became evident that he is a remarkable PT. Dr. Miller showed me the importance of creating a great relationship with his patients. The hour-long one on one sessions were extremely thorough and something I haven’t really seen at my other observation/volunteer opportunities. Most of the big-box clinics see multiple patients at a time, and the patients simply don’t get that needed time with his/her PT. He’s also very transparent with his patients and doesn’t give them any kind of run around. When Dr. Miller tells a patient that he can make them better and pain free, he means it! Every patient I spoke with said nothing but great things about him. One even used the phrase “miracle worker” when talking about his abilities to end their pain. Without a doubt, I would recommend anyone suffering with pain to visit Dr. Miller. If you want more than 5 minutes with your doctor, and expect to have a one on one relationship without being in a room with 2 or 3 other patients, then Dr. Miller is the PT you should see.“

“I was able to run without the horrible pain again!”

melissa y

Melissa Y.

“I learned of Ron through my local running group after he spoke to the group at Fleet Feet. I had just finished my 3rd half marathon and was experiencing horrible shin and hip pain. I was registered for another half marathon within a few weeks and did not want to miss it, but I knew the pain I was experiencing was beyond that of normal long distance training. I was so excited that I was able to get an appointment to see him right away, no waiting weeks or months to get in. At my first appointment he was very thorough about getting all the details about my pain and examining the areas of pain. I was relieved that he thought the pain was something that he could treat, and I would possibly be able to run my next race. Due to the holidays I only met with Ron four times. His follow through and communication are excellent, and the office sessions combined with the videos/exercises to complete at home made a huge difference. I was able to run without the horrible pain and continue to train. I would absolutely recommend Ron Miller to anyone with pain issues, especially runners. He is so concerned about his patients and continues to follow up and check on his patients after the treatment ends. I hope to be pain free in the future, but if not I will not hesitate to go see Ron Miller again.”

“I was recently involved in a car accident where I was struck from behind by a school bus. I later had an MRI of my cervical spine and was diagnosed with two herniated discs in my neck. I felt a wave of unimaginable stress overtake me when I heard the results. I began physical therapy at a referred outpatient clinic not far from my house. I was in more pain as I was leaving the clinic then when I had entered. I decided to give it another try until I discovered there was not one licensed physical therapist in the whole entire facility. They were all massage therapists claiming to provide “physical therapy” to their patients. Not one “therapist” could legitimately explain to me how the treatment was going to help me. I felt scammed, deceived, and frustrated. I had wasted my precious time and money. My pain had worsened with time, until I met Dr. Ron Miller. I began shadowing Dr. Miller to suffice requirements for graduate school when he first heard of my story. He proceeded to ask me a few questions and within minutes he understood my prognosis with confidence. Within a cycle of a couple different exercises my pain began to subside. Dr. Miller also gave me exercises to do at home and sent videos to my email reassuring that I understood how to perform them properly. I continued my therapy at home and was astonished that within 10 days I was feeling 100% and pain free. I had regained full range of motion and was able to start strengthening again. I feel so blessed to have run into Dr. Miller and to be able to resolve my pain. In my opinion he is the best physical therapist in town and I recommend him to anyone who wants to be pain free fast! “

“I’d like to thank Pursuit Physical Therapy, specifically Dr. Ron Miller, for his dedication in facilitating my recovery from a badly sprained ankle. His customized treatment program, consistent care and instruction helped jumpstart my healing and recovery process. He made sure I had everything I needed to maintain my at-home-therapy in between sessions, from resistant bands, to video tutorials, personal e-mails, and the mental support I needed! I really feel this type of support accelerated my healing. Dr. Ron provided consistent feedback and coaching, was always willing to answer my questions and concerns, and did so in a professional and compassionate manner. He helped me get back to a pain-free lifestyle, doing the things I enjoy. I would whole heartedly recommend him! Thank you Ron!”

“In three to four visits…the pain was gone!”

michelle o

Michelle O.

“Dr. Ron has cured me! I never knew that I could be pain free. For years, I have suffered from right hip, lower back and glute pain. I always thought that was a normal state for active people. As my pain increased, I went to see Chiropractors, Gynecologists, and GI doctors. The pain got so intense that I thought I’d have give up any strenuous exercise. One visit from Dr. Ron and all three of those pains were virtually nonexistent. Three to four visits and they were gone! I went back to bootcamp and tennis right away with no issues at all. Overall, it was a great experience. Dr. Ron is well worth the visit.”

“After a posterior total hip replacement , insurance provided me with an excellent in home physical therapist. Knowing I would need an outpatient PT I asked who was recommended. My insurance company had a number of Outpatient PT people to choose from , but I wanted the in-house PT I had, to also recommend someone. They unequivocally recommended Ron, who I now call “the man with the golden hands”! My wife and I met Ron about 4 weeks after surgery, in a one-on-one private meeting. Even though I knew I would do outpatient PT that my insurance would pay, my wife insisted I use Ron and Pursuit PT. Using the PT the insurance paid for, I noticed my PT was with 4 to 5 people in an hour session, without any privacy or total one on one concentration, like Ron was offering. It was an easy decision for me to stop my insurance PT and go with Ron! When I reviewed pursuit on the Internet, I noticed he had no machine equipment. I expressed my concern to my in house pt who recommended Ron. The comment back was “the best PT guys only need a bench “. then when I came to Ron ‘s then upstairs office, on my first visit, still using a walker, I asked for an elevator. When I heard there was none, I had my doubts as I painstakingly climbed the stairs one step at a time, making known my gripe about there being no elevator. Looking back , climbing and descending the stairs was part of the therapy. His new location has no stairs. I addition to my hip replacement , I developed a distorted pelvic. My belt line rose at a 45 degree angle and not straight across . I limped badly. The surgeon doubted I’d walk without any limp. Today, thanks to Ron, I have a straight belt line and a walk that only an expert might see a slight limp. My needs and goals were not quick fixes. However, with Ron pushing me to do things I felt I could not do because I mistakenly read literature that I thought meant I had to be restricted on reaching and bending, I improved quickly due to the exercises Ron provided and his body manipulation with the golden hands. Ron even came with me to the YMCA when I wanted to go back there to exercise. He even designed an exercise routine in the machines for me. Early on , I told Ron I had been a racquetball player, hiker, skier, a cyclist , weight machine user , three to four time week , what I read led me to believe skiing and racquetball days were over. Today, about five and a half months after surgery I can do all of this, continuing to get stronger and more improving each day. Ron assured me he could get me on a racquetball court. As limited as I was in my motions, I doubted him. He put me on one of his lower benches and told me when I could stand up from a seated position on the operative leg, he,d get me on a court. Well, I can now do this and 5 months after surgery I surprised my racquetball buddies by playing and competing in racquetball already! I have recommended multiple people to Ron and will continue to do so. He is a great motivator with an incredible knowledge about the body, what causes pain, and ways to relieve pain and strengthen muscles.” – Ray R.

“Dr. Ron Miller is the best! I play tennis regularly and do yoga to maintain flexibility. Several months ago I developed shoulder pain that was limiting my physical activity, computer work, and even sleep. I tried sports massages, a chiropractic adjustment, and when those didn’t work, I went to my primary physician. He suggested MRI, cortisone shots, and even scoping it, but I was more interested in trying physical therapy first. I found Pursuit Physical Therapy by searching online. The website focuses on results, and that is what I wanted. One week after the first treatment I was playing tennis with much more strength in my serve and ground strokes. After just three sessions we’re done! I am pain-free, my upper body mobility has increased dramatically, and I’m now doing the strengthening exercises that Ron (Dr. Miller) gave me. I am so excited about this, and thankful for finding Pursuit Physical Therapy. He takes all the time that’s necessary during the free evaluation to pinpoint the exact source of your problem, and then addresses it with therapy and specific exercises to do at home. He really listens to your feedback and is genuinely committed to your healing process.”

“I am a tennis player and play on an average of 3 to 4 days a week. In the last couple of month I have experience severe lower back to the point where I couldn’t walk 1 block let alone play my tennis. Went to an orthopedic doctor, had an MRI, he suggested surgery or an epidural. Had two epidurals, they helped the sharp pain but the back was still not good enough to play tennis. A good friend, told me about Dr. Miller. I made an appointment on a Monday, Dr. Miller checked over my MRI and said he would get me back on the courts. That Monday he worked with me then gave me an exercise to do at home I made another appointment to come back on Wednesday, he would then let me know on Wednesday if I could play on tennis Thursday. We worked out that Wednesday and he told me to go for it on Thursday. I have been playing tennis ever since and feeling great. Worked another couple of days with Dr. Miller and then was released. I told him I have a persona trainer 2 days a week, so he e-mailed my trainer with the exercises that work for me. I can’t believe that in less then 1 week working with Dr. Miller I was back playing tennis. Doctor Miller is my hero, I am now a happy camper doing what I love to do again.”

“I’ve been having some anterior knee pain as well as some wrist flexibility issues. I enjoy an active lifestyle that involves Crossfit, Softball and adventure racing. Getting pain-free is a huge priority for me. I’ve tried everything to get better (i.e. Chiropractic appts, countless hours researching online). After seeing Dr. Miller, I can say that I feel so much better. He was able to address my flexibility issues and get me moving properly in just a few sessions. Moreover, he provided me with additional resources for ongoing maintenance. He is most definitely my first call if I should encounter any issues going forward.”

“After being out of Zumba for several weeks due to knee pain, Dr. Ron Miller diagnosed my problem within just a few minutes and prescribed the exact exercises to target my injury. I am so grateful to him because I would otherwise be very unpleasant without being able to get back to my favorite exercise! Other doctors told me to just find a different way to work out, stretch more, or that I was aging and it was time to quit. I knew Dr. Miller would help when he said, “I’m not buying that.” Neither did I, and he helped me have fun again at the gym. He even let me borrow some of his equipment to use on summer vacation and checked in to see how I was doing. He was available to answer questions by email or even text and I have never met another doctor that emailed me personalized instructions for taking care of my problem. So, thank you to Pursuit Physical Therapy and that I am back in action!”

“I came across Pursuit Physical Therapy post microdicectomy L5-S1 surgery for rehab. Being that hind site is always 2020, I wish I would have hooked up with Ron prior to my surgery because I have a feeling it potentially could have been avoided. The previous PT practice I had been going to prior to my operation was completely different from the level of care Doctor Ron practices. I would get stuck with different PT assistants and sometimes the people didn’t even know what I was in there for. So after the surgery I was still having some nerve pain which was really scaring me, but Ron assured me he would get me back to being my normal self again. After just a few weeks of his treatment plan I was back to being able to run, surf, and golf again like my old self. I basically live pain free with absolutely no pain meds..not even ibuprofen which i used to eat like candy!!!! With Pursuit, Ron’s attention to detail and expertise is obviously at a very high level. I would and do recommend him to anyone suffering from any injuries. Its well worth the investment to hire the best when it comes to your health and well being!!! THANKS RON!”

“Through Dr. Millers treatment plan…I just finished a 10K and I’m training for a half marathon!”

Jennifer P.

“I am a new runner who began the sport four months ago. I started with a group running program that helped me ease into the sport and helped me learn to run with correct form. After 2 months I ran a 5K. Just prior to the race I began having some pain in my left knee. After the race it got much worse. I iced and stretched but the pain kept getting worse each time I tried to run again. At this point, it was even painful walking. I was getting so frustrated and discouraged. I had been introduced to Dr. Miller through my running group, and they encouraged me to give him a call. I am so glad that I did. Dr. Miller eased my mind that he could help me be pain free and run again. Through Dr. Millers treatment and personalized plan and care, I just finished a 10K and I’m training for a half marathon. I would highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy.”

“I was referred to Ron Miller and Pursuit Therapy by a close friend. At the time I was three and a half months post-op on a total hip replacement. As a result of the replacement, I developed an avulsion fracture of the rectus femoris tendon, above where the ball and socket is inserted. The condition was evident after surgery but not discovered and then later exacerbated during physical therapy with another firm. At the time I went to Ron for an evaluation, the rectus femoris avulsion was five millimeters dislodged from the bone bed and I had large edema/blood formations, both anteriorly and laterally, on the operated hip. My hip movement was extremely limited and the anterior and lateral areas of the hip were extremely painful, to the point of sleep deprivation. I chose Ron because of the thoroughness and sensitivity of his initial evaluation. Ron spent 90 minutes with me and asked a number of probative questions. His initial manual movements and adjustments of my hip and lower back gave me relief and an immediate sense of hope that further therapy would be helpful. Unlike traditional physical therapy, where you are sequestered and told to do exercises on your own on a “three on one” basis, Ron is with you the entire hour or more. Ron’s services are different in that he constantly asks questions and adapts his methods to meet your symptoms and expressions of concern. We tried a number of modalities, some successful and some not, and came up with a course of treatment over the first three week period. That course of treatment developed and adapted over time as I increased strength and flexibility. When I first arrived at Ron’s office, I was dependent on a cane and had a pain level of 6-7. Over the first four weeks I gained strength from the exercises but my range of motion and, therefore, my walking gait, remained limited. At about the six week mark, I began to enjoy significantly increased hip extension, which allowed my walking gait to better normalize. By eight weeks I was walking in the neighborhood without assistance of the cane and in twelve weeks I regained a normal walking gait, began to climb stairs, swim and ride a stationary bike. Throughout the process, Ron continued to explore and adapt the home exercise program to enhance range of motion and strength. I feel confident in saying that had I not gotten into the hands of Ron Miller, I most likely would not have returned to work or regained the level of enjoyment of life that I now have.” – Mike S.

“After 6 months of Cross Fit, I developed lower back and neck pain. Following an MRI, I was referred to a pain specialist who recommended no strenuous activity and said I should never return to Cross Fit. Fortunately, an old friend referred me to Ron Miller. Amazingly, within only a few weeks, I was pain-free and had full mobility back. Ron also gave me exercises and stretches to lessen my chances of re-injury. I am back to Cross Fit and doing very well!

Update to testimonial: In the past few days I’ve:PR’d my snatch, PR’d my deadlift, Added 15 pounds and cut 3:09 off my Grace time (30 clean and jerks) as compared to the month before I injured my neck a year ago. I just wanted to thank you again for all your help. I am doing great!”

“I was having knee pain in my right leg which prohibited me from consistently exercising. A co-worker recommended that I should come in to see Ron (based on many recommendations from our local running club). My initial evaluation went very well, with a lot of one-on-one examination and a thorough investigation to find the root of the pain. After only 4 treatment sessions, I’m now pain free and back running again. I will begin my half marathon training within one week and continue on my muscle strengthening program. This was a hassle and worry free experience with great results!  I would highly recommend his services to all of my friends and family!”

“I went to Dr. Miller for help a few months ago after having on and off hip pain for about 8 months. As a very active individual who enjoys running and CrossFit, my hip pain reached a point where I was unable exercise the way I wanted and I was even unable to walk on some days. Once Dr. Miller evaluated my condition and determined the issue, I was pain free in just four visits. I was amazed at how quickly and easily he was able to relieve my hip pain that I had for 8 months prior, and almost kicking myself that I hadn’t gone and seen him sooner! On top of that, Dr. Miller is caring enough that he checks up after our visits together just to make sure I’m still pain free. I’ve never encountered another healthcare provider that truly cares about the overall well being of their patients as much as Dr. Miller. He shows an immense passion for his profession and it’s very evident through his practice. I am now back to running and CrossFit 5 days a week all while pain free. I highly recommend anyone who is experiencing any sort of pain to see Dr. Miller immediately!”

“After four visits, I’m back running and my hamstring is not bothering me at all!”

Tom and Carol N.

“My husband Tom heard Dr. Ron Miller speak twice at running events sponsored by Fleet Feet Sports in Altamonte Springs. The first was the 1/2 marathon training last July and then more recently at No Boundaries training. While he had run two 1/2 marathons recently, he was able to do them basically pain free. Shortly after hearing Ron speak a few weeks ago, Tom developed a sore left Achilles, as well as pain in his right hamstring after he sat for an hour or more. The Achilles issue was hampering his running ability and the hamstring problem was more a quality of life issue as when it hurt, it was relentless. Ron carefully listened to his symptoms and developed a plan of attack. Both issues were considered minor. Ron immediately started Tom on exercises as well as heat treatments. After four visits, Tom is back running and his hamstring has not bothered him at all. Ron also set him up with strengthening exercises to be done at home. He has short YouTube clips of how to do each exercise which is very useful. While Tom has never been to a Physical Therapist before, he can only say that Ron was always congenial, very knowledgeable and professional. Tom is back running pain free and Ron certainly deserves a well done for this. Tom recommends Dr. Ron Miller to anyone experiencing a sports related issue.”

“I had severe pain level 8 on a 10 scale for over a month. I had to stop running, Crossfit, wearing heels, my quality of life was going downhill fast. I would wake up in odd hours of the night because my knee hurt so bad and it would lock, pop, burn etc. I had three people tell me I probably needed surgery, at least a MRI.

After TWO sessions with Ron strengthening muscles with exercises and a little electric stimulation I have been pain free for two months and it has not returned. I can run, jump, swim, wear heels and dance, whatever I want! This man is amazing and the facility is great.

Thank you so much Ron!!”

“Working with Ron is easy as you are always front and center with him – and the only priority in the room!”

Beth S.

“Pursuit Physical Therapy is a uniquely wonderful experience – and can anybody really say that about physical therapy? My recovery from meniscus knee surgery was not going as quickly as hoped as I was using one of the “big box” PT facilities. My cousin recommended Dr Ron Miller. After my first session, my knee was substantially better. Within a few more visits, I was back to 98% capacity with my knee, which was a huge improvement for me. Working with Ron is easy as you are always front and center with him – and the only priority in the room! This is a refreshing change. In addition, Ron’s extremely credentialed background is impressive and shows in his innovative approach to help you heal. My husband and son are now his current clients receiving help for their various physical ailments. I highly recommend him!”

“After climbing the Grand Canyon I experienced sharp and uncomfortable pain in both my knees. I could not walk more than 5 minutes without tearing up from the pain. I enjoy exercising and hiking, so I immediately sought help. I went to an orthopedist and the only results I received were an X-ray, a large bill, and a strong invitation to buy their “treatment” therapy. Luckily I knew about Pursuit Physical Therapy. My mother was getting treated for back pain by Ron and I drove straight to his clinic from the orthopedist. In five minutes after listening to my symptoms and asking me questions, Ron targeted the issue and was already working on a plan to fix it! Not only did he fully explain the anatomy of the issue, but he taught how to fix the problem and prevent it in the future. After 3 sessions with Pursuit Physical Therapy, surrounding the exercises given, my pain was gone and I felt like a part of my life was restored! Ron showed genuine care of the issue and not only fixed the problem, but also helped strengthen the surrounding muscles. It is very clear that Ron dedicates much of his time and energy into maintaining his practice as well as staying updated in the advances of medical care. Thank you, Ron and Pursuit Physical Therapy, for giving me the ability to hike and run again! I am recommending everyone I know to Pursuit Physical Therapy, because it is a smart and caring business, ethically driven to give the fastest individual care! Thank you for your dedication, care and healing!” – Savannah H.

“I attended a seminar, led by Dr. Ron Miller from Pursuit Physical Therapy, about injury prevention and treatment. I was blown away by his passion for wanting to help others find relief from injury pain. He is knowledgeable and personable, which made it very comforting for me to finally make an appointment for my ankle pain. I chose Pursuit Physical Therapy because as the Fitness Director at the Roth JCC; I wanted to be seen and treated by a reputable doctor, not by an assistant, and recover in the shortest amount of time. After months of walking around with ankle pain, which led to no leg workouts, no running, and no stress relief; I finally got the care I have always wished was out there. Previously, I was seen for an injury where I was examined by a physical therapist for 10 minutes and then left with an assistant, while she worked with multiple patients at one time. It was uncomfortable and I did not look forward to going to my physical therapy appointments. Dr. Ron Miller examined my injury, treated my injury, and has kept in contact with me even after my treatment has ended. I felt comfortable at every visit knowing I was receiving quality care from a doctor who wants to see result from his patients. Dr. Ron Miller encouraged me to gradually get back to my workouts and since my recovery I am back to running, lunging, and doing daily activity without ankle pain. As long as I continue my at home treatment prescribed by Dr. Miller, my ankle is pain free. Thank you Dr. Ron Miller for helping me to find relief from my ankle pain!”

“My longtime boyfriend had been seeing Dr. Ron for hip pain and one day I decided to meet the man whom I heard so much about. In the very beginning I noticed Dr. Ron to be passionate about what he does as well as focused with his patients. Immediately I liked how Dr. Ron concentrates on the patient’s needs first and then develops a plan of attack. He creates an individualized exercise program for his patients as well as “how to” videos for them to continue at home. This provides the opportunity for the patient to get better twice as fast in the shortest amount of time. I believe Dr. Ron is one of the very few patient-centered clinicians whose goal is to provide quality care. Dr. Ron displays the utmost professional demeanor while building rapport with each patient. I recommend Dr. Ron to anyone who is looking to get pain free fast. Thank you Dr. Ron for relieving my boyfriend’s pain and truly exemplifying a professional clinician.”

“I searched out Dr. Ron after meeting him at a local physical therapy convention. I am an avid runner and was having left hip pain and toe numbness. My goals were to decrease hip pain and numbness during and after running. Ron was very friendly and personable during the evaluation process. He was easy to get a hold of and setting up the appointment was an easy process. I really enjoyed the time spent on my running mechanics and being able view myself was pretty and he’s asleepcool. (Ron has a very informative and helpful app that can videotape and analyze running mechanics). Ron was able to pinpoint the source of my hip pain and provided a very helpful stretching and strengthening program. He also provided great follow up care after my appointment. I am proud to say that I was able to complete my first 1/2 marathon symptom free! Without the helpful treatment and home exercise program, I don’t believe that I would’ve been able to accomplish this goal! Thank you Dr. Ron!”

“Dr. Miller is an amazing therapist, but more than that, he is the kindest person in the medical field I have ever experienced; and I am extremely grateful for him and the progress he has helped me make with my chronic pain and limited mobility. I feel like I make progress after almost every session–and he is helping me take back my life (something I had thought every Doctor had given up on). He has helped me start to rebuild my confidence in a way that is not explainable. So with the most sincerity and gratitude possible, I say Thank You.”

“I’m a basketball player who’s been dealing with ankle problems for years. Multiple sprains in both ankles and surgery for a bone spur in my right ankle. I tried everything. Talked to multiple doctors, physical therapists, and alternative healers and it wasn’t until I was introduced to Pursuit by a trusted friend that I finally found a solution to heal my pain. The treatment approach was individualized to my unique situation and in just a few short months I was finally able to get back on the basketball court without pain. I felt like it would take a miracle to say that. I’m extremely grateful to the entire Pursuit team for giving me my passion back. For anyone on the fence about starting with Pursuit all I can say is stop waiting. Pain isn’t permanent you just have to make healing a priority. Living with pain is not worth waiting. The Pursuit team will take care of you. I lived with pain much longer than I needed to. Don’t do that. Start as soon as you can.”

“I’m a professional competitive swimmer who went through a second shoulder surgery and had only six months to recover and compete at a global meet. After receiving sub-par treatment at another facility, I was referred to Ron, who immediately assessed the source of my pain while providing me a personalized post-surgical rehabilitation program. Within just four weeks I had a massive improvement in joint mobility, compared to the previous practice which left me stiff and weak. I never left his office in pain, and his fantastic home programs allowed me to continue pain-free outside of our office visits. His expert treatment enabled me to compete at my best within those six months (even when my surgeon told me I could not) and I swam my personal best times! I highly recommend Ron to anyone experiencing pain or needing physical therapy after surgery.”

“A little over three years ago I had a biking accident while training for a triathlon. I thought nothing of it until minor back pain became excruciating pain shooting down my leg. Over the next few months I saw a chiropractor who told me it was my piriformis, and an orthopedic surgeon who told me it was my sciatic nerve, all while I wasn’t getting any better. After two months of PT, an injection, and another six weeks of PT, I came to terms with the fact that I was always going to have this pain down my leg. Fast forward to this past October, I was starting to train for my first half marathon, pushing through the normal pain down my leg, when similar back pain started on the other side- I couldn’t have pain down both of my legs! Recently starting PT school, I knew I had direct access to PT, and could bypass all the referrals and seek immediate relief. I contacted Pursuit because I knew Dr. Miller guaranteed faster results then traditional PT, but I had no idea how much he was going to be able to truly help me. By the end of my evaluation, Dr. Miller reassured me that the new pain was minor, and that he could ALSO resolve the pain that I had had now for almost three years, because it wasn’t my piriformis or sciatic! Finally someone thought outside the box; I was ready to start treatment right then and there! My new back pain was resolved in two visits, and Dr. Miller gave me exercises to do if I ever had a flare up again. As for the long-term pain, Dr. Miller’s diagnosis was ischial-gluteal tendinopathy, stemming from trauma to the sciatic nerve and my SI joint during my biking accident. Now, the naming process of my diagnosis may have been a funny learning process for Dr. Miller and I, but no one up to that point had taken the time to truly find the source of my pain. Decreasing my pain was no easy chore, but Dr. Miller continually thought of new techniques to address the source of my pain. One visit, where a classmate joined me to observe, Dr. Miller capitalized on the fact that he had an extra pair of hands, and created an exercise that combined SI joint and nerve tension exercises- I had immediate results. What was even more astonishing in comparison to my previous experiences, was the fact that Dr. Miller always believed in what I was feeling and reassured me that he would fix the problem when I became discouraged over a flare-up. One time, he had me try an inflatable donut, because sitting in class was flaring me up and setting back my progress; I didn’t think an inflatable donut was going to work, but I trusted his expertise and the pain dissipated within a few weeks! Three years of scarring was fixed by January, just in time for me to run my first half marathon, and I beat my ideal time by almost twenty-five minutes! I’ve never felt this good running, and I’m still in the process of regaining my strength and nerve endurance. I can’t wait to run the same half marathon next year, full strength and full nerve endurance! Dr. Miller is truly a miracle worker, but it is not because of luck- he is an expert at his profession, and honestly cares about his patients. Words cannot explain how appreciative I am that someone finally listened to me and my body, not just the script that a doctor wrote after spending five minutes with me. Dr. Miller went above and beyond in his diagnosis and intervention, and for that I will forever be grateful, and running faster then before my injury!” – Jerilyn T.

“I had a bad sport related injury that needed a great deal of rehab for my lower back. We flew up to Duke Sports Medicine in North Carolina for their opinion they actually recommended me to go to Pursuit Physical Therapy and see Dr. Ron Miller. We looked at their online reviews and they were amazing so we decided to go there. The care I received here has been world-class and beyond expectations. The care is personal too, and tailored for, the patient, their injury, and their progression. Ron cares about his patient’s and their recovery, and he went above and beyond not only treating my injury, but always available for questions or concerns. I started to see almost immediate improvement and saw dramatic results in what is considered a short amount of time for my injury. I am now back playing soccer at 100%, back training hard, and getting ready for the fall soccer season. More importantly, I can play sports and in games now without any pain or discomfort. If you are thinking about going to Pursuit, do it! You have picked the best! They care about you and your recovery and it shows in all they do. I highly recommend going to Pursuit!”

In 45 days Ron had me back on the course and pain free. I have had no issues since. I can’t say enough good things about Ron Miller.”

I had a spinal fusion with instrumentation in 2007 and was doing very well. I recently hurt my back and was experiencing a lot of pain. I was unable to perform normal daily activities. My only relief many days was laying flat with my knees elevated. I completed almost 2 months of physio at another facility. I felt very frustrated and unsatisfied with my care. They seemed very casual about my pain and lack of improvement. No matter what I was experiencing they did the same thing. They seemed to have their standard treatment for someone with back pain and spinal fusion and no thought was given to anything outside the box. I was still experiencing pain and was very unstable. My symptoms changed frequently and with no obvious cause. I researched online for alternative therapy as there had to be a better answer. I came across Pursuit Therapy and with their many great reviews, I called and made an appointment with Ron. At my first visit with Ron I was so encouraged with his thorough history, evaluation and plan of care. He identified what he thought was the root cause of my pain, my hips. No one had ever discussed what was causing my pain. Ron told me his plan and said that he believed he could have my pain reduced by 50 -75% after two weeks. If I wasn’t pleased with my treatment he would refund my money. Who ever does that??? His confidence was so reassuring. After 2 visits my pain was decreased by 75 % We continued with treatments and strength training and by 2 months I had introduced light running to my workout. I continued to work with Ron while I increased my running and strength training. Ron has helped to identify exercises that don’t work for me and find good alternatives. He has given me effective strategies to use when my back is bothering me. I am so thankful that I found Ron. He helped to rehab my back so that I could resume my previous activity level. The strength training program has me feeling strong , especially in my core. I can hardly believe the difference in my care with Ron from the previous facility. I wasted 2 months and hundreds of dollars at the first facility. Thankfully, Ron’s knowledge and care have me enjoying life again. I have been out of therapy for about a month now. I continue with my program and use the appropriate strategies when my back is acting up. This has been very effective. Should I have a problem that isn’t responding, I will not hesitate to call Ron and see him for an assessment and treatment.

I went to see Ron after nearly a year of post-ACL reconstruction rehab at another facility. I was frustrated. My rehab plateaued and I began having some issues that were keeping me from living actively, working out, and playing sports. Ron has helped me with some other issues in the past so I figured I’d give this rehab one more shot and see if the outcome changed. The change in progress was amazing, and so motivating for me at a time when I thought I would have to live with these issues for a long time. Ron identified issues that I had not been working on and prescribed a plan for me to get back to pain-free movements. Within a few visits, the pain began to subside and my strength increased. About halfway through, I was back to light running short distances. By the end, nearly all my anterior knee pain was gone. As I write this, I have no knee pain, full range of motion, and near full strength in my surgical knee. I am back to training full time in the gym, running, and look forward to easing my way back into tennis, snowboarding, and other sports I’ve always enjoyed. If you are having setbacks in your surgical rehab journey, I know how frustrating the time and setbacks can be. I would recommend Ron 11 out of 10 times to help. It’s not magic. It’s just attention to detail and focused one-on-one care.

I have had running pain in my knee since a race I ran back in March. I would quit running for weeks at a time, but it would come back every time I began running again. After about 4 months of on and off again running, I decided to search for physical therapy and found Pursuit Physical Therapy through a google search. I decided to give it a try but had little faith it would work. After a thorough evaluation, Ron knew what was wrong and did some therapy on me that I could not do on my own as well as given me some take-home exercises to do before our next appointment. I will admit I was skeptical at first. After going so many months with rest and still feeling pain, I did not believe he would be able to fix the problem so quickly. Boy was I wrong! I noticed results instantly after the first session. I went from severe pain to minor pain. I continued seeing him for two more sessions. I recently ran 12 miles with zero pain and currently only get minor pain during some speed workouts. I trust that after continuing my strength training, I will be 100% pain free in no time. If you are experiencing any sort of pain and fear therapy will take advantage, trust me when I say this place will not. I highly recommend going here. Ron truly cares about each one of his clients and makes sure they are getting better after each session. He will adjust any therapy needed if he is not seeing results he wants to see. This place is legit and is not in it just to make a quick buck. Give them a try and you won’t regret it!

“I contacted Pursuit Physical Therapy in February on personal reference after months of experiencing severe lower back pain following physical exercise. Every morning following a tough soccer game, a fast run outside, or a heavy lifting session at the gym, I could hardly roll out of bed and put clothes on. I thought that perhaps I was just getting old and that my mid-30’s bones were no longer suited to young people’s activities like soccer and tempo running. Dr. Ron Miller was diligent in his diagnosis and took the time to really understand my pain. He asked questions, took the time to really listen, and put me through physical tests until he had a firm grasp on everything that I was experiencing, and the causes. Then he let me know the good news – I wasn’t just getting old, and my condition was treatable! My treatment kicked off in May, focused on increasing strength and flexibility in my hips, and ran its course over the next few weeks. After a little over a month, my condition had improved to the point of turning things over to home exercises only. I’m pleased to say that today, I’m almost 100% pain-free! I still get soreness in my muscles like everyone else, but gone are the days of being unable to bend over and put socks and shoes on in the morning following a soccer game. Gone are the nights when I’m unable to lay down in bed after running a race. Thanks to Dr. Miller, I’m proud to report that two weeks ago, I ran a Personal Record in the half marathon at San Francisco. In a completely unexpected/surprise result, I was able to beat my previous best time by over 3 minutes! There is zero doubt in my mind that this result was partially due to the mental and physical gains made through my treatment program with Pursuit. My hips just feel looser, my stride feels more natural, and my mind is more at ease. For the first time in a long time, I’m able to go out and really put my heart into performing at my best and forget about pain and tightness that would hold me back. I can’t recommend Pursuit and their treatment programs enough. Athletes experiencing limiting pain, who want to keep going and refuse to give up and throw in the towel, should visit Dr. Miller and see what he can do. Good luck to everyone reading this review!” – Steve B.

“I came into Dr. Ron Miller with awful SI joint pain. It hurt to walk, run, and do anything but lay in bed. I had no idea what the root cause was and he figured it out within minutes! Within a week I was feeling half the pain. Within 3 visits I was completely PAIN FREE and walking normally again. Dr. Miller is incredibly knowledgeable about everything and so kind and helpful. I will be returning if I have any issues!”

Pursuit Physical Therapy is the absolute best!! I saw doctor Ron a few years back and was very impressed with the treatment I received, so , when I hurt my back I didn’t hesitate to call Him again. Dr. Ron provides hands on one on one treatment. He committed himself into helping me with my back problem the moment I walked through his door. He made clear to me that his goal was to get me PAIN FREE as fast as he could ,and that my recovery was just as important to him as it was to me. He is very knowledgeable, competent,and he truly cares and listens to you. Not to mention that he is very professional and has great bedside manner. I also love the fact that he always made sure to design a plan that worked not only in the clinic , but could be done at home. I am now PAIN FREE and back to Crossfit and Volleybal. I highly recommend Dr. Ron and if I ever need help again I know where to go.

I saw Ron on the advice from my PCP, Dr. Muzzi from MyDirectMD, because I was having right hip pain after running & right shoulder pain. He figured out that my right glutes were weak & designed a program to fix it. In less than a month, I no longer had right hip pain after running. As for the neck, he figured out that it was a right first rib issue. After his treatments, I rarely have any issues. I have tried various other treatments, including stretching, massage, and accupressure, but Ron’s treatments seem to be one that lasts the longest. He does not just try to treat the pain, he figures out the cause of the pain, so that it does not reoccur. After you complete your sessions, he will send you a final treatment plan to avoid the issue from coming back. I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy, even for the slightest of pain rather than just trying to deal with it on your own.

“Bottom Line: After 2+ months with Dr Miller, I cancelled knee surgery! When I started with Dr Miller in mid September, I could barely walk stairs and was in near constant knee pain. My orthopedist recommended a mini knee replacement due to arthritis but wanted to try PT 1st. My 1st visit, Dr Miller listened to me and developed a plan for what I needed and also what I wanted to do. The one-on-one attention is so rare today as well as his level of expertise. Thanks to Dr Miller, I will not be making any appointments for surgery. But the best part is now I am back on the bike riding 3-4 times a week for 1-2 hrs and walking at least 30 min without the pain. My goal is to ride 70 miles end of Feb and I am well on the way! It has been almost 2 years since I could do that. I also have a physical job and depend on good leg strength and balance and pain free. Being in mid-50’s does not mean early retirement now. I am hopeful that I will be out there working well past that retirement age, enjoying work and cycling!”

“Motivated by members of the local No Boundaries program, I decided to start running about eight weeks ago. On the 2nd week Ron spoke to our group about strength and flexibility in running. By the 3rd week I was experiencing intense knee pain and thought I would have to quit. I called Ron. He did a detailed evaluation and found that my ankle flexibility was very poor and that I needed more leg strength (running is a one legged sport, he kept reminding me). He developed a home program and after seeing him for 4 one-on-one sessions and religiously doing the exercises and stretches he prescribed, I actually ran my first 5k with my group pain free. I could not have done it without Ron’s expertise and encouragement. I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy!

“When my sister came for a visit from New York recently, I noticed my niece was having some difficulty picking up her luggage. I asked if she was having back pain and she said yes. She explained to me that it has been bothering her for a while and that she just met with a specialist. She was told by the specialist that she had adult onset scoliosis and that she needed to see a spinal surgeon soon as she would likely require surgery. I asked her if she would be willing to get a second opinion and she agreed so I made an appointment with Dr. Ron Miller. Dr. Miller was my first and only choice because of his conservative one on approach to patient care. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Miller pointed out that she did not, in fact, have scoliosis but rather spinal hypertrophy related to a tight hip/pelvic muscle. After a full explanation of the underlying causes of her back issues, Dr. Miller completed a plan of care and demonstrated the exercises to be performed at home when she returns from vacation. I recently spoke with my niece and she said she is doing great! After following Dr. Miller’s treatment plan, her back feels better and she said she is standing taller with improved posture. She also told me how Dr. Miller’s has been in touch with her along the way to see how she has been doing. Best of all, she will NOT be going for any “shoot first, ask questions later” spinal surgeons! I highly recommend you make an appointment with Dr.Miller for any pain or discomfort you may be dealing with. His straight forward, proven, one on one approach to treatment will put you on the road to a pain-free life!

“I came in to Pursuit Physical Therapy because of shoulder pain in my right shoulder. I had surgery on my left shoulder 6 months prior and was very concerned that the right one may need surgery also. I decided to give Pursuit a try after I read some of the testimonials. What really drew me in is that Ron works with all kinds of people incuding people who do Crossfit, like myself. Most PT’s will cringe if you tell them you do crossfit. When I spoke to Ron on the phone he conveyed to me that his standard of care didn’t include, stim, ultrasound, etc., which is the only treatment that I’ve ever had. And this intrigued me even more. I decided to give a session a try, especially since my pain wasn’t getting any better. Before visiting Ron, I was going to the same Pt that did my post op therapy for my left shoulder. But what didn’t change was the type of treatment that I received on my right shoulder. There was no plan, nor any sort of test to see why I was having this pain. In retrospect, that pt was just doing a mundane routine and taking my insurance money and co-pay. Not only did my pain not get any better, no solution in site, the pt constantly communicated to me in back-handed comments that my functional fitness routine (crossfit) was the reason I had this pain. Immediately after one session with Ron I experienced an increase in range of motion and less pain. The exercises in conjunction with his therapy equaled rapid results.Because he pin pointed exactly what muscles were weak and which ones where tight, then we were able to strengthen and stretch those resulting in a solution. Having this simple yet effective treatment plan helps not only the mindset of the patient but allows you to recover and get back to what you really love doing.”

“I am an active runner/yogi and at 32, I decided to throw in a little boot camp once a week to spice things up. After the first session, I felt great..until the next morning when I couldn’t move. Seriously, I thought my legs were going to fall off. Needless-to-say, I couldn’t work-out for several days, but I did continue to stretch. After 3-4 days, the pain in my right leg was not getting better. I didn’t even know what I did in boot camp that caused it to hurt in the first place! Well, I wasn’t going to let a little leg pain stop me. I thought I could “tough it out,” so I went to boot camp the following week. Within 30 seconds, I knew EXACTLY what I did to hurt my leg. Fast-forward to a few days later, I flew to Orlando from NYC to visit my sister. She saw me hobbling around and grimacing every time I sat down or stood up. Of course she wanted to know why I was such a wreck. I explained the situation to her and she said, “You need Dr. Ron.” She was right. My sister made a call to Dr. Ron and he saw me first thing the next morning. He knew I was from out of town, so on the morning of my visit (I was late!) he sent me a text offering directions. (This was just the first sign of how caring he is.) During my visit, we spoke about how I injured myself. Then, we went through various leg tests. I liked that Dr. Ron told me what he was going to do before he did it. There were no surprises. I felt completely comfortable. After my examination, Dr. Ron determined that I had a “1st degree hamstring-groin strain from the initial boot camp exercise.” Ah-ha! During the visit, we started talking about my running related ailments. I told him that my NYC doctor referred me to a Physical Therapist. Dr. Ron gave me questions to ask and things to have them look into. In addition to giving me PT treatments in his office (same morning) he promptly followed-up with a detailed email of next steps, including YouTube videos so I wouldn’t screw it up! Dr. Ron also reminded me about what to tell my doctor, “Make sure they take a look at your iliopsoas muscle.” My what?! I guess he knew I wouldn’t have retained that word. Thanks to Dr. Ron, I’m well on my way to being pain free. I do my stretches every day (I’m telling you, those YouTube videos are KEY) and with his help, I’ll be back to boot camp in no time! Overall, Dr. Ron made me feel completely at ease and spoke with me at length, answering all of my questions with a patience and attentiveness that I am not used to seeing in New York doctors. He just comes off as a genuinely nice guy. It’s clear that he is passionate about what he does and he cares for his patients’ full recovery, long after the office visit.

“I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy to anyone experiencing any sort of body pain and not getting better. Last year I experienced major lower back and leg pain just after my pregnancy so I went to see an orthopedic doctor who diagnosed me with a herniated disc and sciatica. However after months of physical therapy my leg pain continued and never improved. I decided it was time to try someone new and discovered Dr.Miller through an internet search as he was highly rated. After my initial evaluation with him he conducted some tests and then explained that the reason I was never getting any relief was because I didn’t have sciatica. It was actually tarsal tunnel syndrome. After my first couple of sessions with Ron, I felt relief and pain free instantly! The attention and personalized care at this practice far outweigh any other in the Orlando area. I can now take care of my baby and get back to daily activities without any leg pain. Pursuit PT is worth it!”

Dr. Ron Miller, is one of the best, if not the BEST PHYSICAL THERAPIST in Central Florida. His compassion for others, professionalism, intelligence, and commitment to American Physical Therapy Association as a Board Member and specialist set him apart from other Physical Therapists. His patients will testify the successes that they have received from his treatments. I have seen first-hand the incredible techniques he uses and how he customizes treatments for each patient individually. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is always spot on. He knows how the body works, and what needs to be done to reduce or eliminate pain. To better treat his patient’s injuries he goes above and beyond typical procedures and uses his integrated skills. He sincerely wants to help his patient’s get better and he will give you the stepping stones to get you to where you want to be. I would highly recommend Dr. Ron Miller, for anyone seeking a physical therapist.”
“I would like to offer the following testimonial for Dr. Ron Miller of Pursuit Therapy. I came to him in March 2014 mainly because my personal trainer and my masseuse, two different people, were discouraged because they could not get my lower left leg to respond to their muscle stimulation techniques. Both knew Dr. Miller and recommended that I visit him to see what his evaluation of my condition was. What was the cause of my problem? It acted like a drop foot condition but why. I have seen doctors, visited clinics, had a lower back operation, used physical therapists and masseuses, and did a lot of personal research. Some of the possible causes were diabetes II, bulging discs in the lower back, former athletic injuries to the left foot, and viruses in the blood. So here I am in the present walking around with an AFO on my left leg, with no pain in the leg and trying to play golf. All the previous treatments somewhat addressed the problem but never resolved the entire issue so that I was hindered in all activities requiring two good legs. With this current condition, Ron did a thorough evaluation of the leg and measured all the measurables for the lower foot. He observed some atrophy in the left calf muscle, a lack of stimulation of the leg muscle that lifts the toes, and a weakness in my waist muscles. He has shown me exercises which will strengthen the weak muscles and has initiated an electronic muscle activation procedure for the one recalcitrant muscle. His explanation of why he is recommending his plan is delivered in an understandable non-medical format and he listens to your questions and concerns. He does not delegate the demonstration of any item while you are in his examination room but does provide helpful videos for you to review after you leave. In my case, there have not been any “Ah Hah” moments but I am certainly getting stronger with muscles that have not been effectively used in my “shuffling” years and additional time will determine if the electronic muscle stimulator can be used to cure, or at least reactivate, my left foot More to follow.” – Bill G.

“I chose Pursuit Physical Therapy after having ankle surgery this past August to remove scar tissue from a softball injury. Prior to surgery, I received physical therapy with another facility and was unhappy with the results. There were multiple patients per therapist, and felt my ankle was unable to receive proper attention. Dr. Ron Miller, at Pursuit Physical Therapy, came highly recommended to me. I walked in after surgery wearing a boot and in quite a bit of pain with zero degrees of movement. In contrast, my other ankle equaled 15 degrees of movement; it was quite a big difference. Within one week of working with Dr. Ron, my flexibility increased, allowing my injured ankle to reach ten degrees. My treatment was once a week for about two months. Along with my remarkable progress, my pain level decreased rapidly. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, not only because I was seeing such great results, but I was being treated by someone who really cared about getting me better. Dr. Ron’s therapy is completely one-on-one. After only eight sessions, I was running pain free. It gives me great honor to recommend Dr. Ron Miller of Pursuit Physical Therapy. Not only is he an amazing physical therapist, but I can honestly say he is one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met. I am fortunate to have received first class care and am extremely happy my results. I have full movement once again and have the ability to do activities I have missed out on since my injury, over a year ago. Thank you, Dr. Ron.”

“I had just decided that I needed to start taking ibuprofen in order to keep running and playing indoor soccer when Dr. Ron spoke at running group. He said that if you cannot run or stay active without pain then something is wrong that needs to be fixed. So I checked his website and it was clear that I had stage 2 achilles tendon apathy. That was the name for the fact that I could no longer walk without pain whether I exercised or not. I saw Dr Ron and he said mine was a textbook case and he would fix me right up in four appointments. I was surprised to find that part of my problem was I had symptoms of sciatica problems. After four appointments and doing the exercises every day the pain is gone. I am still running and playing soccer and I can get up from my desk at work without pain. I didn’t miss a workout. Much thanks to Dr. Ron.”

“I had the great pleasure of shadowing Dr. Ron Miller on three separate occasions, and I can say with certainty that he is a highly skilled professional. Dr. Miller has the ability to create a comfortable and secure environment for his patients. He has the knowledge and devotion that sets his clinic apart from other patient care settings. I noticed how each patient was very appreciative of Dr. Miller’s care and commitment to their therapy; he really takes the time needed to ensure a healthy recovery. I would recommend anyone who is experiencing pain to go see Dr. Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy.

“You definitely get one-on-one attention from a doctor of physical therapy that not only includes your in office session, but follow-up text messaging and/or e-mails to ensure that the treatment is effective. Pursuit provided some good physical therapy videos that guided me to do my exercises at home in between office visits. Dr. Ron gave me a new insight to the cause of my lower back pain and what to do to relieve and counteract the causes of it. He also gave me confidence that I could start running again pain free!”
“I have suffered from lower back issues for the past 5 years, including having a micro-discectomy before that time and even in between flare ups I ran long distance. Last April I had a flare up in my lower back after I recuperated from the flair up I tried to get back into jogging and noticed I was having Achilles pain. I went to a physical therapist in NY which is where I was living at the time and was told I had Achilles tendonitis, I did treatment there but did not really see any improvement. In September a job opportunity brought me to Central Florida. With the great weather here I wanted to get out and run again and I tried but at the first couple of steps I would be in pain and I’d be limping for a couple days. One day while at work I googled physical therapist in my area and Pursuit Physical Therapy’s website came up. Immediately I was drawn to the testimonials I read from people with similar issues and how quick they were back to running long distance after treatment at Pursuit Physical Therapy. I looked no further after everything I had read; I called instantly and made an appointment for a free consultation. Upon my arrival at Pursuit Physical Therapy and meeting with Ron, what stood out to me the most was Ron’s passion and enthusiasm for his profession. Once he explained what the treatment for my injury would consist of, I knew I wanted to start my treatment immediately. I had been to numerous physical therapists in the past and what made treatment at Pursuit different was the one on one interaction, at other physical therapy offices you sometimes see multiple therapist and they give you a list of exercises and see you for 5 minutes and then you’re on your way. At Pursuit PT Ron worked with me on every exercise and made sure I was doing all the exercises correctly along with giving me exercises I could do at home and following up via Email and text. He allowed me the capability to have as many sessions throughout the week as I wanted and I was able to email him or text him in case I felt I had setbacks in-between treatments and this was something I had never experienced with other physical therapist. Thanks to Ron I’m back to running, I’m pain free and building up my stamina to get back to long distances. Ron not only helped me get back to where I wanted to be but he’s also given me the information and tools to continue improving my life and living pain free.” – Rigo A.

“Dr. Ron Miller has been a godsend! I was told I was a candidate for fusion surgery as I have suffered with lower back pain for several years now. In a very short period of time by coming in to see Ron a few times a week, I was feeling tremendous relief. A friend of mine had encouraged me to please give Ron a try after not getting anywhere with several other physical therapists. I finally caved in and called him and have never regretted that phone call. The care I have received has been extraordinary and the best part (besides feeling better) has been the extreme flexibility with scheduling appointments. I can finally work out with less pain. I wholeheartedly recommend anybody who is in any kind of pain to call Dr Ron Miller!”
Eric C.
“I have been a patient of Ron’s since about December of 2013. After I underwent two back surgeries (microdiscectomy * 2) in November of 2013, I was frustrated with the continued pain in my left hip, leg and ankle. As a former professional athlete, there was no way that I could envision my life as inactive as I had become. Prior to meeting with Ron, I had tried steroid shots in my lower back, and they did not seem to have any sufficiently lasting effect. Meanwhile, my brother had starting working with Ron on a different physical issue after he had been referred by a friend. So, based on my brother’s recommendation, I went to see Ron for a free evaluation, and ultimately, agreed to start a series of visits. The most obvious differences between working with Ron and dealing with more mainstream physical therapy practices are the ease of getting a convenient appointment time, his desire to get the job done despite a diminishing financial return as each session goes by, and a true concern for the patient’s well being and satisfaction. At this point, while I still have some pain, I have returned to golfing, running on the field when I coach my son’s soccer team, and I have significantly reduced the dosage a frequency in which I take pain medication. Ron continues to work with me regularly, and he proactively seeks out other options and opinions from his PT community on my behalf. I recommend Ron for your PT needs.”

“I was suffering with foot pain for several months. I had tried cortisone shots (twice) with no relief of my symptoms. I couldn’t play tennis, run, or even sleep without pain. I had attended a program at the JCC where Dr. Miller spoke about foot pain. The information he shared at the presentation made me realize I need to try something else so I immediately made an appointment to see him. He created several exercises that not only helped reduce the pain symptoms, but also fix the root cause of the problem (tarsal tunnel). I am almost always pain free. I am back to playing tennis and doing Bar Method classes on a regular basis. I have not yet tried running again, but many people agree that running is over rated! I definitely recommend Dr. Miller.”
Kathy B.
“My daughter saw Dr. Miller after she had broken both bones in her left arm. After several surgeries and months of being in a cast the surgeon explained that my daughter required intensive physical therapy in order to regain mobility and range of motion. Dr. Miller came highly recommended to us and he was able to make significant progress within just 2 visits. He asked lots of questions and really listened to my daughter. He developed a series of exercises that she could do at home to help facilitate the recovery. We were amazed with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Miller and will use his services again.”
Jerry M.
“I had experienced for several years lower back pain and frequent painful straining of my lower back muscles. A friend highly recommended Ron to me, as he had similar lower back problems that Ron’s exercise program had eliminated. Ron was easy to talk to and I was impressed by his hands-on approach; we jumped right into a diagnosis and treatment on my first visit. Within two weeks I was pain free and so I continued the exercise program Ron set for me. They take me about 10 minutes twice a day. I have now been pain free for several months with no incidents of strain or pain in my lower back. I can now do several physical activities that I had previously avoided. I only wish I had known about Ron years ago.”
Dr. Bruce Gordy.
“I was referred to Ron by a friend of mine to help me with a sore shoulder that had limited mobility. In a few sessions I was feeling better and in 6 weeks I had full range of motion and was able to go back to lifting weights again. I have referred many friends to Ron and would highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with pain or mobility.

“We were referred to Dr. Ron by our friends who kept raving about how much he had helped them with different types of pain. After my son who is 15 was slammed to the floor on his back during a basketball game (a Thursday night), we thought it was a perfect time to give Dr. Ron a try. After getting an X-ray the next morning after the injury (Friday) from an orthopedic doctor, my son was diagnosed with a hip contusion and was told it would take 1-2 weeks for him to get back in the game, as his pain permitted. He was very anxious to resume playing as he was in the height of basketball season. Ron made time that same day to immediately assess him and start treating him. After a very thorough assessment of all possible areas affected, he confirmed the hip contusion but also added that his pelvis was knocked out of alignment from the hit on the court. Dr. Miller immediately began treating the alignment issue (the more serious of the two issues) and gave my son home exercises to do over the weekend to correct the alignment issues. We saw Dr. Ron again one more session- the following Tuesday morning- to evaluate my son’s progress. He still had pain from his contusion but his pelvis was back in alignment!!! We were elated!! By Tuesday evening (5 days after he was injured) , my son was back playing in his game (and playing well), followed by two more games later that week. I think he average 15 points in his games and has not had any issues since. We are so thankful to Dr. Ron for seeing us so quickly. We know his treatment made the difference in my son getting back to it much faster. We’ve already referred a friend having issues to Dr. Ron and will continue to highly recommend him!!!

“I came to see Dr. Ron Miller for a different reason than most do. As a licensed massage therapist for over 25 years, I first became aware of Dr. Ron Miller through a regular client of mine, J.K., who had been dealing with an issue with foot pain. The massage therapy I provided her helped but would not totally alleviate her pain. She told me about finding Dr. Ron Miller (who provided the correct diagnosis for her) and through his treatments, her pain totally resolved. So I reached out to him to meet him and find out more about his office and treatment approach so that I might possibly refer some of my other clients who had stubborn conditions that would not resolve with massage therapy alone. The day before my meeting w/ Dr. Miller, a sharp stabbing pain came on in my left knee with sudden onset with no explanation, which made it difficult to even walk, much less do my other activities. Even though I came to Pursuit Physical Therapy for information/professional purposes, Dr. Miller inquired as to my knee pain – he did some simple assessments and showed me some simple exercises to do at home. Within 3 days the knee pain totally resolved and it ended up being a weakness in my hip that caused the pain – nothing to do with my knee. Since working with Dr. Miller (Ron) and referring a number of my clients to him, I’ve found that he is an excellent diagnostician – he figures out what the cause of the pain/issue is and then goes to work to remedy it. He is constantly reading and studying medical literature and research to provide his patients with the best treatment possible. One thing that is so different about Ron is his follow-up. How many physical therapy clinicians regularly contact you after your treatment to see how you are doing? He truly cares about his patients and wants them to be pain-free as soon as possible. Now, he and I are referring clients/patients to each other. I am so thrilled that I found Ron, not only for what he has done for me and so many of my clients/patients, but also for the things that I am learning from him. He enjoys sharing things with me about his treatment protocols and the research he knows which helps me to be a better therapist. I look forward to working and collaborating with Dr. Ron Miller in the years to come! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

“I’m a medical doctor and I’ve spent years of my life studying over a desk writing for long hours which was not good for my upper body posture. In addition, I’ve managed to injure my shoulder at the gym. As much as one tries, its difficult to keep a good posture all the time. Most people don’t even know what good relaxed posture really is. Shoulder problems are very common, and I realized the depth of my shoulder issue when I couldn’t do exercises I wanted to at the gym. Also, if I had stressful nights at work my shoulder would flare up in pain the next day. Similarly, working out my legs doing squats etc was causing scaro-iliac pain because my glute muscles were weak and imbalanced. This is another very common issue. I’ve tried a couple of therapists before but was not satisfied. I tried “certified” personal trainers who are supposed to know how to work with injured athletes but was not satisfied. I was simply told to do certain exercises while the therapist may or may not have been watching me closely enough to see if my form was correct. There was never any sort of specific muscle release done. Dr Ron gives one-on-one time to each person. He has a very scientific approach. He is patient and thorough making his diagnosis, taking his time to make sure we know what we’re dealing with. He explains what needs to be done and what to expect , and will go step by step teaching simple safe exercises, that we can later do at home as “homework”. EVEN BETTER, he knows techniques for releasing muscles that I have not seen other therapists use – I’ve only seen videos about them on youtube put up by the rare therapist in other countries or states. I was very happy to find that Dr Ron knew about these release techniques and even had one for my shoulder! No other physical therapist, massage therapist, or chiropractor ever tried this. His method can make a huge difference in just one visit. I now have a better idea of how to deal with my body- when to be patient with it, and when to work out and push it safely. I have an understanding of where my weak spots are, and he has provided me with the tools of how to strengthen them. I am a strong believer in the fact that we have to put in our hard work and thought to get the results we want. If you continue to abuse your body and expect someone else to fix it – thats not going to work as you age and get older! And with aches caused by poor form and mis-use its important to understand that your work is cut out for you. But I have peace of mind that when I do over-use my body, Dr Ron is there for the regular repair and maintenance that I need for this single most important machine life has given me! I absolutely recommend him to my patients, my friends and my family. I would even say: he is worth every penny, even if you can only afford to see him only once! Thank you Ron for putting your heart and mind into what you do.

“I am writing this testimonial following the treatment of my son by Dr. Ron Miller, of Pursuit Physical Therapy. My son is a competitive tournament tennis player who suffered from a debilitating back injury as a result of his tennis. After treatment by an orthopedic surgeon and various physical therapists, which included a long course of anti-inflammatory meds, my son was feeling no better. Worse yet, we never really had a diagnosis and were unable to pinpoint any maneuver that could decrease his pain. Finally we were referred to Ron Miller by a former patient. Dr. Miller’s evaluation was far more thorough than anything we had experienced prior to seeing him. He immediately ruled out several serious conditions that could have been the cause of my son’s pain. He then was able to isolate which maneuvers exacerbated and more importantly relieved the pain. Once this was done, treatment began. In addition to his superior expertise, what differentiates Dr. Miller from his peers is his attention to detail and his focus on the individual patient. Over the years I have been to many physical therapists, and what I have seen is that most treat multiple patients at one time, with what often seems like a “cookie cutter” approach; a few exercises, heat and or ice, TENS, ultrasound, perhaps some traction and then goodbye. This is not the case with Dr. Miller, who spends the entire hour long session with only one patient, enabling him to individualize his treatment plan based on his diagnosis. In addition it is clear that his advanced level of education and his degree in physical therapy (he has a DPT) places him above his colleagues, both as a diagnostician and a clinician. Finally, when we were discharged from his care, Dr. Miller’s interest in my son did not end. Instead he maintained close contact with my son’s fitness trainer, not only following up by telephone but also attending one of the fitness sessions to make sure the right exercises were being done for my son’s condition. Overall it is my opinion that Dr. Miller takes the field of physical therapy to the highest possible level, and my only regret is I didn’t find him sooner. I give Dr. Miller my highest level of recommendation.”

“I was very pleased with my treatment I received and the amazing results! I was pain free in TWO VISITS and Ron taught me everything I needed to do at home to keep my neck pain from coming back. I highly recommend him!”
Robert and Thalia.
“Dr. Miller has saved our family. (Literally!) One of us had a pulled shoulder muscle from working out, one of us had a pulled elbow from firefighting training, one a strained hip muscle from golfing, and a final family member with an ankle injury from an embarrassing accident involving a case of soda (don’t ask). Dr. Miller did what most doctors don’t do anymore – LISTEN. He worked around our work/school schedules, quickly diagnosed our injuries, and moved right on to the solutions! No medications or long, drawn out rehabilitation plans. Just results! (and PAIN FREE results I might add!). He emailed us YouTube videos with simple yet effective exercises to do at home and he even followed up with texts to see how we were doing. How’s that for first class service! After a few weeks of treatment, we all saw a HUGE difference and we were well on our way to a full recovery! We simply cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Miller is! If you need physical therapy, you won’t find a better doctor than Dr. Miller.”
Steve M.
My 17 year old son is back to playing pain-free golf in only two sessions with Ron! He diagnosed the problem as upper-back muscle weakness, taught him some strengthening exercises and quickly had him back in the game. He was very personable and knowledgeable. We were quite happy with his approach to the problem and the results.”
Kimberly H.
“I first came to see Ron due to shoulder pain I had been experiencing for several years. I had tried regular massage and chiropractic care in the past with no lasting change in my pain. When I decided to look into physical therapy, I did a search through the CareCredit website, since I had a CareCredit card from previous medical care. I reached out to Ron and he was very quick with getting back with me to set up a free consultation. I knew right away that he was the right choice; it was clear that the goal in his work is to identify the problem, correct it, and give each person the tools to prevent the pain from coming back. This was refreshing because too often in the medical field, our symptoms are treated as they arise with no real effort to identify and eliminate the cause, thus, creating the need for future care. Ron is different, he wants his patients to get better, and stay better. Thanks to Ron, I can now live life without shoulder pain, and know that should the pain resurface, I have the tools and knowledge to relieve it.”

“A short while ago, I encountered some knee pain as a result of my running/Insanity workout regimen. My knee was totally locked up so that I could barely walk. I initially went to an Orthopedic Clinic where it was recommended that I get an MRI. Before going down that route, I met with Dr. Miller for a second opinion. He was very helpful in diagnosing what the problem was and how I might have caused the injury. In addition to working with me to completely relieve the pain, he gave me some exercises that I could do on my own to help my recovery and perform self-maintenance going forward. I came away from the experience with a greater understanding of body mechanics and how I could prevent re-injury in the future. Being able to lead an active lifestyle is important to me and working with Dr. Miller has helped me to achieve that. I am a very HAPPY client!”
Monika B.
“I had a great experience with Dr. Miller resolving ankle pain I had due to an injury. He took a full history and was willing to take the time needed to solve my issue. After just a couple of short sessions, I’m back to feeling 100%. I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy!”
Kat M.
“After only three visits with Dr. Miller, I was running pain free and my hip and leg issues were no more! He was awesome, extremely helpful, and made sure I was comfortable with all the exercises. Most importantly, he still told me I could run, which was great news. I would recommend Pursuit Physical therapy in a heartbeat to anyone!

“Ron has tremendous knowledge of the body. He should be a teacher to transmit his treasury of knowledge to other therapists. My thanks to him.”
Carla M.
“I had been laid up for most of the winter with Achilles tendinitis and Plantar fasciitis. I went to my doctor and went through treatment and injections but still the flare-ups continued. I was given a prescription to go to physical therapy and my therapist was a gentleman by the name of Ron. My length of rehab was to be for one month with visits 3 times per week. He had me up and going in 3 weeks and was even able to do my exercises at home. Thank you Ron, for literally getting me back on my feet and back to walking pain free 3 miles per day.”
Jennifer S.
“Having been in therapy on and off for years with knee problems, I can truly say that Ron was the first therapist I felt like was not only knowledgeable about my issues, but was genuinely invested in my success. His approach is one that enables his patients to take an active role in their recovery, focusing on creative solutions and education to help resolve the source of the pain rather than just learning to work around it. The one on one attention he provides easily created an encouraging and supportive environment that helped me to stay focused on my progress rather than my pain. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in having a partner in your journey towards recovery or wellness.
Michael B.
“The last couple of weeks I’ve been having some pain in my right knee from pushing my run pace and extending my cycling distance. I was referred to Ron and had my appointment today. The evaluation I received is the most thorough I’ve ever had and allowed me to leave with the confidence to take on a short run. Not only did we focus on the knee problem but Ron revealed some holes in my training that I can improve on a well as some stretches to prevent anything in the future. I’ll be back for a follow up and definitely referring others. It was a great feeling to be treated as a person and not just another number. Thanks again Ron.”
Darren P.
“Within just a couple of weeks of working with Ron he had my elbow tendinitis almost completely pain free. He then helped me strengthen it and stretch out the contracted muscles and tendons. I was able to gain back a full range of motion and most of my strength. I was told by my orthopedic doctor that it was something I would just have to live with or I could take injections and pain medications to calm it down. I would definitely recommend working with Ron Miller for any debilitating pain or injury recovery. Great job Ron!”
Christine G.
“Dr. Miller has a talent for getting straight to the root of the problem. His goal is not to just relive your symptoms but to bring you to a complete and quick recovery and prevent future injuries. I appreciate that each of his patients has his full attention during the entire session. Thanks for showing me what quality care look like.
Kathleen B.
“I suffered from achilles tendinitis after starting new training. Luckily a friend introduced me to Dr. Ron Miller. Dr. Miller was able to treat my achilles tendinitis without any drugs or injections and the best part was that I was back running pain free in just 2 weeks. Not only did Dr. Miller help me recover faster but he also showed me how to prevent future flare-ups. His treatment was able to save me time and money and I only needed 2 visits! If you are currently suffering from any kind of physical pain trust me, Dr. Miller can help you.”

“On or about January 1, 2018, while on vacation, I re-injured my lower back. After x-rays and an MRI, I learned that I had two bulging discs, L4 and L5. As this was another injury in a long series of re-injuries, my orthopedic doctor told me that my back was now “unstable” and advised surgery. I said no. He then sent me to a “pain management” doctor who advised a spinal ablation procedure. I said no. He then sent me to physical therapy – the same type of physical therapy that I had been prescribed for many years. The therapy helped but the pain in my back, left hip and numbness down my left leg continued. After several weeks of traditional physical therapy, one of my co-workers noticed the pain I was in while walking down the hall, questioned me about it, and strongly advised me to see his physical therapist, Dr. Ron Miller. He assured me that Dr. Miller could help me with the pain and, in fact, might even help me to avoid back surgery. So, I made an appointment for an evaluation with Dr. Miller. I was very impressed with the time, care and thoroughness of his examination. Afterwards, he determined that surgery might someday be necessary, but not today. He then described the approach he planned on taking and approximately how long it would take to get me back to normal living without debilitating pain. His approach did not consist of sketches of exercises to imitate, or an array of exercise machines to hop on and off, or biding my time whilst waiting for my physical therapist to finish with other people before being able to show me the next set of exercises or another machine to transfer to. Dr. Miller’s approach is one-on-one. He actually physically worked with me to ease my back and hip into place to alleviate pressure on the nerves in my lower back and going down my left leg. In less than one month, I felt better and more limber than I had in years. I am so grateful to Dr. Miller for getting me back to a normal active life. I can now walk without back pain, hip pain, or numbness in my left leg. I am also so much more mobile than I was before. And this is pretty good for a woman in her mid-sixties! I am also grateful that he discovered that not only did I not need back surgery at this time, the surgery would have been a terrible mistake in that the problem was (1) my left hip was tilted forward which put pressure on nerves going down my leg, (2) this misalignment created a caving inward of my lower back causing horrible pain, and (3) my right leg was shorter than the left, giving me an uneven gait which must have been contributing to my back pain for years. I have been through months and months of physical therapy during my adult years, and no one noticed these problems before? Only Dr. Miller did. I recommend anyone having continuing pain – or facing possible back surgery – to seek out Dr. Miller at Pursuit Therapy for an evaluation and treatment. He really cares for his patients and works very hard to get you back to living pain free again. A big plus is that he is not all about the money – he’s about helping his patients to attain quality of life. Thank you so much, Ron!
Anthony R.
“Thank you! After more than a decade of chiropractors, sleep clinics, and massages, you were finally able to help me. I suffered from a condition that I’ve called “my head doesn’t feel like it fits on my body” for years. It has gotten better and worse, but it’s always been there. This discomfort has affected my sleeping habits and sleep quality. I’ve been sleep deprived for years, waking up 10-20 times per night from simply being uncomfortable. Through your expert consultation, diagnosis, and applied therapies, I am so very happy to report that last night I was not ‘laying in bed, just waiting for the alarm to confirm that it’s time to get up’. I was truly asleep! Feeling refreshed in the morning is a gift, and you’ve given that to me. Thank you! Keys to success in your program are the in-office visits, but just as important – the online videos.These accurately narrated videos enable your clients to refresh their memory and to ensure that they are executing the exercises in the fully compliant and correct manner. This is definitely a helpful tool that enabled me to stay committed to the program. I do my exercises every day now, without fail, and I look forward to many nights of restful sleep as my discomfort fades and my body strengthens. Thank you again for all that you do.”

“I had chronic lower back pain that spinal epidurals and temporary nerve oblations would not relieve. My general practitioner, Dr. Richard Baxley recommended Pursuit Therapy and Ron Miller as “someone who has had good results treating back pain”. Ron spent considerably more time asking probing questions on the pain origin, timing of pain occurrence, triggers, etc. and developed an individually personal treatment program, modified and adjusted at each session to target the causes to eliminate the causing factors. I noticed positive results after only 3 or 4 sessions. Now I am walking longer distances, standing for longer periods of time, without major low back pain and now I’m getting back into a Fitness Program. I would enthusiastically (and I already have) recommend others to give Pursuit a chance to cure their ailments. Ron is a true professional and is dedicated to his patient’s quick and complete recovery from their problems.”
Heather K.
“I went to see Dr. Ron for pain I was experiencing in my hip. I’m a fitness instructor and would consider myself active in that I teach cycle and weight training classes but also that I enjoy running in my free time. The hip pain began while I was training for a half marathon and I was averaging about 30 to 40 miles a week running. The pain began at the end of November; I ran one morning and then sat in a car for about three hours, thus locking my body in some position. The pain was severe enough that I was unable to run and it even hurt to walk and do some abdominal exercises. I heard about Dr. Ron from a friend of mine who has struggled with ankle and shoulder pain. He was able to see me within a week of me contacting him and was able to recreate and pinpoint the source of the pain in the first visit. Being a natural sceptic, this completely amazed me. I have never seen a physical therapist before and was trying to self assess my pain and it’s source. He gave me a series of exercises I could do at home or at the gym to begin my rehabilitation. That first visit was 11/19/2014. I saw Dr. Ron only twice more in the first week of December 2014. In the visits he did some rehabilitation exercises that I could not do on my own but continued to show me advanced exercises to help me work on my own. I was able to run again with minimal pain the first weekend of December. I continued to with the exercises at home and was able to run pain free the following week. I am still building back my mileage and as I do, I continue with the routines Dr. Ron provided to keep me from having a flare-up. What really impressed me was the fact that he understood that I wanted to continue to be active. He provided me with the tools to help myself become pain free and provided me with guidance on what I could continue to do to stay active. He continues to follow up with me regarding my progress and my pain. My experience with Pursuit Physical Therapy has been extremely positive. I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and will absolutely revisit him in the event of another injury.
Nicki P.
“I recently injured my lower back while working. I didn’t think much of it at the time but it got progressively worse for several days to the point where I could barely move any part of my body without being in severe pain. I live an hour and a half from Orlando but Dr. Miller was able to speak with me about my injury and the type of pain I was experiencing. He recommended several exercises and provided links to his YouTube page explaining them in detail. He kept checking up on me until my pain had subsided. Even though I wasn’t able to go to his office he was able to help me! I’m thankful for people like him in the world, Dr. Miller really cares about his patients and is eager to help alleviate any and all pain.”
