Very knowledgeable and informative. Can recommend anyone with sprains, muscle/joint pain etc to visit!

Very informative. Dan listened to my problems & set up goals for me to achieve.
MFVerified patient
Therapists were courteous and professional, and not to mention, quite handsome.
SMVerified patient
Dan was great! I was having nonstop leg pain for a month and a half after skiing and my ortho didn’t know what the issue was. After one session with Dan my pain went away, and the routine he gave me helped prevent pain after later ski trips. Highly recommend!

Strongly recommend. Dan was very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely return for any future PT needs.
January 16, 2026Peter W.Verified patient
I worked with Dan for over 10 months—twice a week—to rehab a soft tissue IT band injury that caused persistent knee pain. I came to him with an ambitious goal: to not just recover, but to return to my pre-injury athletic shape and compete in a Hyrox.
Dan is an exceptional physical therapist. He is an incredibly great listener, immediately grasping the nuances of my injury and, crucially, understanding my specific athletic goals. He is extremely knowledgeable, providing clear and evidence-based explanations for every exercise and progression.
What truly sets him apart is his adaptability. My recovery required a measured ramp-up back into running, which he facilitated by creating a detailed, personalized walk-to-run program. He pivoted quickly if I ever became symptomatic during this ramp up period.
Dan was always on time, consistently confirmed appointments, and often checked in with me throughout the week, showing genuine care for my progress and well-being.
JRVerified patient
Dan has helped me so much over the last few months. Helped me go from in pain every time I did workouts to being able to work out 3-4 times a week and increase my weight to where I used to be. He really focuses on the importance of movement and working through pain to create a better long-term body!
JRVerified patient
I've seen Dan several times for running related injuries. Each time, he's helped to successfully manage and recover from my injuries and provide prehab exercises to help prevent others (I've run into trouble when I've stopped doing the exercises he's told me to do, so being a repeat patient is my own doing). Unlike at some other providers, Dan provides one-on-one care throughout the entire session. All of the therapists in the office are friendly and professional, too. Like most runners, I'll likely be injured again but will definitely return to Dan.
September 18, 2025Drew T.Verified patient
Dan was very attentive to my problem with my hip, leg and foot pain.. He designed an exercise plan to help me walk without pain!
He was very good getting me to do exercises I was not sure I was able to do.
It is very important to do the exercises on your own too - not just at physical therapy.
DHVerified patient
Dan was a fantastic resource that truly changed my year/long term health with a chronic back issue. Intelligent, friendly, intentional, respectful - continued to refine my plan and provide great guidance during my treatment. Would strongly recommend after seeing multiple other PTs/approaches if you want a practical, feasible, science-backed treatment plan that gets results. Thanks Dan!!!
THVerified patient
I'd been debating going to PT for years for a lingering back injury but for some reason I was scared, and Dan made me really glad I took the plunge! He set me up with a program appropriate to my exercise experience to lessen the risk over time, and we tried a couple different things before settling on a good routine and building from there. I'm not sure I ever would have felt comfortable going to the gym or doing strength training without him, and I'm confident in my ability to continue on with it now that our sessions were over. He also made each session fun, he's super personable and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend!
SBVerified patient
Dr. Dan was invested in me and improving my health. He allowed for a friendly rapport underlined with a working expertise. His own struggles with health allowed him to further support me through my journey on recovery. I appreciate his guidance both in and out of sessions. Not only were we able to achieve my health goals, we exceeded some of them. I'd definitely recommend this office and Dr. Dan.
VVVerified patient
I was very nervous, but he was very pleasant and kind and went very well. And it helped me to be motivated to make the right changes. He was able to educate me on. What was my issue and help me? Assess how to best address it. And now I feel more confident that PT can actually help my knee pain
March 29, 2024Angel H.Verified patient
Dan was great! I had a shoulder injury that occurred during a bench press movement and the discomfort wouldn't go away after a month or two. After around 6 weeks worth of sessions, my shoulder is a lot better and I'm approaching my past level of strength in chest and shoulder motions. He was really informative, had me try different things, and it's great talking to him about the many sports he and his friends participate in. All in all, I would highly recommend Dan or any sports/weight training related injuries.
SOVerified patient
Highly recommend Dan! I hurt my shoulder a couple of months back during a bench press and there has been persistent pain there for a couple. I went to Dan 6ish weeks ago. He had me try a bunch of different recovery motions, gave me a plan, and he had a lot to say about the different sports he was up to. Most importantly, I finally feel like I'm back to similar levels of strength before my injury and the pain is much more manageable! Couldn't recommend Dan highly enough for any sports/weight lifting injuries.
SOVerified patient
Dan was encouraging as he discerned the nature of my pain and the appropriate treatment for it. Dan accurately determined 1) What I was able to accomplish, 2) How I could be challenged, and 3) When I needed to rest. I am grateful for his approachable presence and our compatibility.
CPVerified patient
Dan is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I highly recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for a physical therapist that truly cares about his patients!
JSVerified patient
I was in big pain for a few months when Daniel gave me a few sessions of treatments for my lower back problem. He was very determined and attentive and after a short time my pain significantly lessened.
In addition, he showed me a few exercises, which I’m still using to strengthen my lower back core muscles.
He was knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic. I highly recommend him to everyone!!
BBVerified patient
My experience with Dan at Elevate has been too notch. He is very knowledgable and professional. I also enjoyed the personalized service that is provided at the location. I am happy to say that I am on my way to full recovery following ACL surgery due to Dan’s program. All the staff there are very nice and helpful. Highly recommended!
APVerified patient
Working with Dan has allowed me to still play sports at the highest level. Playing soccer at a competitive level has caused me to have knee pains over the years, even though I’m only 28. After a couple sessions with Dan and following through with the work he provided me to do at home/the gym my knees are feeling strong again! As an athlete I love his take on healing through strength training and it’s always encouraging when the person proving you care backs it up with the way they live. Thank you Dan for helping me to still play the sport I love. I cant recommend him enough!
JLVerified patient
Dan did a great job working with me to speed up my recovery. He was very knowledgeable on any questions I had. Would highly recommend!
MEVerified patient
Dan is really great to work with! He’s a great listener and genuinely cares about doing what’s best for me. He was able to help me find the root of my issues and put together several ways I could alleviate the pain I was experiencing!

My first pelvic floor therapy appointment (ever) with Rachel Richards was such a positive, reassuring experience. From the moment we started talking, she was thoughtful, an excellent listener, and created a space where I felt safe sharing things I’d never really voiced out loud before. She was incredibly personable and easy to communicate with, which made it so much easier to talk through sensitive topics and the challenges I’m facing as a soon-to-be mom. I left feeling understood, supported, and hopeful, and I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone I can trust to walk with me through this part of my journey!!! Thank you, Rachel!

I was apprehensive about starting Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, but Rachel put my mind at ease right away! She set good expectations and is letting me set the pace for treatment.

Friendly staff and they took the time to understand my health challenges. They took the time to assess me and come up with a solution and plan.
August 3, 2025Rocio F.Verified patient
Rachael was great - thorough exam - very reassuring about improvement. So glad I made the appointment. Sean was very helpful also and answered all my questions when I called and assisted me with making the appointment. Very friendly office.
April 10, 2025Virginia K.Verified patient
If you’re looking for a top-notch physical therapy facility that truly prioritizes your recovery and well-being, I highly recommend Elevate. They go above and beyond!
March 22, 2025Angela D.Verified patient
This provider made me feel comfortable right away. She listened to all my concerns and helped me make a plan for moving forward that I felt comfortable with.
August 8, 2024Emily J.Verified patient
I’ve had a wonderful experience with Dr. Rachel Richard this afternoon. She was very thorough, reassuring and helpful. I’m looking forward to working with her in the following weeks.
March 28, 2024Kim N.Verified patient
My visit was truly a learning experience. Every aspect of my care and medical issue was explained to me in detail. I could not have been happier with Rachel.
February 13, 2024Initials hidden
Elevate was prompt in answering my phone call and getting me set up with a PT. Rachel has done an excellent job working with me to help me progress through a frustrating injury, and I've noticed improvements every week. She does a really great job of pushing me, and the results have been very encouraging. Both Sean and Dan (the other PTs at this location) are very involved as well, and have made it a point to take an interest in my recovery. I'm very pleased with Elevate and Rachel specifically and would recommend to anyone in need of physical therapy.
SBVerified patient
God sent! I have been in pain for years even with going to a couple of different therapists but with Rachel at Elevate, it only took about 6 months to feel better than I ever had since my injury. Love the 1 on 1! Thank you so much Rachel! Would definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed!!
MMVerified patient
I’ve been seeing Rachel for pelvic floor therapy for a few months now. At first I was very nervous since pelvic floor therapy can be overwhelming. On my very first appointment we were just discussing about the things that I was going through and she made me feel very comfortable, and made me feel like I was in a safe space. Rachel used to work for a different practice and when she told me she was going to be working at Elevate, I followed her to continue my physical therapy with her (and I only had 3 appointments with her by then). She makes you feel comfortable, she listens to you, and doesn’t dismiss your feelings/concerns. If you need to go to physical therapy for any reason, I recommend going to Rachel, and trust me you won’t regret it!
SKVerified patient
Rachel was the perfect PT. She was informative, kind and had a great communication skills. I recommend her to anyone, but in particular to new moms. Thanks Rachel!
SBVerified patient
Rachel Richards has a pleasant personality and is easy to talk to. She has excellent communication skills and answers all my questions and gives thorough explanation on the whys and hows of all exercises . Rachel makes every effort to schedule my appointments according to my schedule whenever possible. I am completely satisfied with her care for my orthotic knee problems.
NBVerified patient
Working with Rachel was amazing! I was looking to learn more about and strengthen my pelvic floor muscles. I’m very active and looking to get pregnant soon so wanted to get head of things to be prepared. I cannot say enough nice things about her! Rachel is timely as well and the clinic was neat and clean.
SRVerified patient
Rachel is literally changing my life; I am learning so much about my body, pelvic floor, and how to be healthy. I think everyone woman would benefit from her guidance and treatment.
NBVerified patient
Rachel's amazing! I've been extremely happy with how detail oriented, thorough, and supportive she is. Her holistic approach has led to better health outcomes for me than any physical therapist I've seen. Highly recommend!
ABVerified patient
Rachel is wonderful- she is so personable and knowledgeable about what you need to do to improve your situation. She makes sure she works around your insurance needs too and gives you exercises to do at home. I would definitely recommend her to others, in fact I already have!
BKVerified patient
Elevate PT is a wonderful independently-owned practice with 3 fantastic DPTs (Doctors of Physical Therapy). Sessions are 60 minutes and the whole hour is devoted to you and not shared with any other patients which is typical these days at larger PT companies. Rachel is a pelvic floor specialist and also does general PT, as far as I know. She is amazing! Absolutely patient-centered, very professional, and knowledgable. I look forward to my sessions with her! She is devoted to her patients and their well-being and is very good at what she does. I have referred friends and family to see her.
AMMVerified patient
My physical therapy with Rachel Richard was an amazing experience! She was fully engaged with me as her patient each session, paying attention to my movements to ensure I did each exercise and
set completely and correctly. She also asked questions, attentively listened and made adjustments as necessary. She was very patient and encouraging when I had difficulty getting through some sets, which motivated me to stick with the PT process. I would highly recommend Elevate and Rachel Richard for anyone’s PT needs.
STVerified patient
Dr. Rachel has effectively cured all the issues I was having with my pelvic floor. I had no idea that PT could clear up my issues. I was amazed with how much this therapy helped. These issues include but are not limited to urine leakage while exercising, painful sex, etc... All my parts are now working as they should be. Run do not walk to make an appointment with Dr. Rachel for all your pelvic floor issues. Dr. Rachel can also address any other physical issues that are general PT in nature.
