Anthrokinetics Physio Lab Testimonials

Rick is an exceptional physical therapist who played a pivotal role in keeping my daughters healthy and performing at their best during their D1 soccer recruiting process. I greatly appreciated Rick’s accessibility, he was always available when needed, providing consistent support throughout their journey. We had Rick on speed dial because we trusted him completely, his responsiveness and reliability were unmatched. If he were still in the area we would absolutely still be relying on him. Can’t say enough about Rick, he’s an invaluable part of any athlete’s support team!

Rick is quite simply the best physical therapist I have ever seen. Many PTs who take insurance just go through the motions and keep you coming back for recurring revenue for the practice and you don’t really get back to 100%. Rick used to work as a physical therapist for the Oakland A’s baseball team, so he really cares about your performance. He uses sophisticated data gathering tools to measure your movement and provide precisely tailored plans from physical therapy to full-on workouts that will help you get stronger, faster. I wish every PT was as data-driven and results-oriented as he is!

Rick is an incredible partner in my health, and has helped me reduce and eliminate pain in my back and hips. To start with, he is flexible with scheduling and very responsive to messages. In terms of supporting my health, Rick provides me with expert advice and understanding, excellent manual therapy / soft tissue work, and expert coaching on exercise that is backed by the latest science. As a golfer, I really appreciate his depth of knowledge in biomechanics built on academic credentials and continual learning with top notch experts in the field. His background in research also makes him an excellent partner for developing “labs” where we can use his extensive array of measurement devices to establish baseline performance, then tweak things incrementally so we know exactly what works. He truly stands out in his field with exceptional competence and compassionate personalization of treatment. I feel very lucky to have found him, and if you are looking for someone too, you likely could do no better than Rick.

My family has met with a LOT of physical therapists, but Rick Pitman is in a league of his own. After meeting with various specialists, having unnecessary surgeries and injections, Rick was able to uncover and repair things that others have missed for years! His insane depth of knowledge combined with his passion to help makes him unique. He has both a broad and deep understanding of kinesiology and he is data driven, so we were able to measure our progress and identify the areas that need more attention. We took advantage of his love for technology/data and completed the Gait analyses for our family, where we gained invaluable insights into some pain drivers. We absolutely loved having hour long sessions that were tailored to our specific needs. Rick also has an easy to use portal, where he answers questions quickly. I can’t express enough how invaluable Rick has been to our family.

First time I tried physical therapy was with Rick. But little did I know, I got a lot more. His knowledge of human anatomy and how the body moves is unlike any doctor I have been to. My shoulder and neck were locked up from a pinched nerve for 2 years and he was actually able to get me some movement, also the numbness is my shoulder/arm/hand completely went away. He definitely listens to his patients and even answered all of my manic emails as we went through the process calming my nerves.

I have worked with Rick over the past 6 years after three surgeries. For my 1st hip surgery, he was working in an office at that time and saw me for 1-2 visits a week. My 2nd hip surgery turned out to be quite different as there were complications. My peroneal nerve was affected and the outcome was dropfoot. After the 2nd surgery and with a 3rd surgery (to hopefully fix the dropfoot), Rick was with me every step of the way. At this time he switched to a mobile PT function, which was unbelievably helpful for me at the time. There were many instances under his watchful eye where my sometimes not so careful hiking/workout practices on my own were leading to other injuries in my leg/ankle. Sometimes he noticed issues before I had the chance to fill him in. In these instances there were always helpful tips and exercises to employ to safeguard other areas of my leg/ankle where I may be overcompensating. I did not notice a difference in care in the office or mobile as he had an array of PT/ rehab methods to utilize to get you to your next level of function. He was also very helpful in any communications with the surgeons or other orthopedics/neurologists to explain my progress when an update was needed or when I needed an advocate. I highly recommend Rick for any Physical Training and Injury Rehab you may have.

Rick is an amazing physical therapist. He brings technology and a great deal of knowledge to the table. I fully recovered from my ACL injury and I’m 100% back to sport can’t think of enough.

Eric Holtzclaw

Rick Pittman is the best, most responsive, professional physical therapist I have ever worked with. He was the force behind my full recovery from a complex tibia and ankle fracture. Dr. Pittman loves data, and he collected measurements to mark my progress – which was an important motivator for me. Dr. Pittman also helped me through a case of acute capsulitis. Dr. Pittman keeps up with the latest studies. His explanations are clear and straightforward and his treatments lead not only to recovery – but also to a better understanding of body mechanics in order to prevent future injuries. If you have the chance to work with Rick Pittman -take it!

SUPER smart guy– critically consumes the research, knows his stuff. He will empower you to better understand your body, the injury, and why he is choosing certain treatments for you at certain times. This has ultimately made me feel a lot more agency in my own treatment.
