After our friend recommended Ryan, my partner and I started seeing him. I've been dealing with recurring shoulder flare-ups that disrupted my life, causing me to wake up at night in pain. Despite seeing several physical therapists, and knowing surgery wasn't an option, I feared this struggle would be lifelong.
Ryan helped me get my shoulder strong gradually, but surely. I had a couple of flare-ups on the way. I felt impatient with myself and was quite frustrated, but Ryan was incredibly patient and came up with new programs to continue the work while adapting to my body's needs...

I went to Avant for a few months and have only positive things to say. I felt treated as a whole person, loved the hour-long appointments, felt it was worth every penny I spent (and I paid for it myself). Laura Shellooe was my PT, and she was undoubtedly the best I've experienced. Avant seems to have a focus on dancers and other athletes that need full motion, strength, and ability to return to life pre-injury. I'm not a dancer; however, that focus translated nicely to what I do and how I live.
Really appreciate this place and their dedication to the individual.

I had issues with my right foot hurting me after extended periods of walking or running. I had about 10 sessions with Kate. The sessions were the right amount of challenging and the homework exercises were manageable with my schedule. She gave me a clear roadmap to graduate out of PT and we met our timeline. My foot stopped hurting ever since. I highly recommend Kate.

The best PT I've been to. The staff are professional and the faculty is very nice. Ryan is the best for TMJ. I've had issues for years with TMJ and in a few weeks it has started to improve. I am happy with the sessions and the homework. Thought it may be tough at first to stick with, it is worth it overall. The therapist take time to answer questions and explain the recommendations. Hands down, this is the place to go for PT.

I could not have asked for a better PT experience. I dislocated my foot and broke my Fibula. I am an avid skier/rock climber/hiker and I was devastated at first. The PTs at avant did a fantastic job tuning my recovery plan to my personal needs/goals, and I've been 100% back to all my lovely outdoor hobbies. They also provided thorough details about my plan, and why we were doing certain exercises, etc. They also answered all my questions in detail giving me a working knowledge base to continue to care for my injury.
And if that weren't enough, we had so much fun during my session. laughing and having fun!!! Thank you so much to the wonderful Avant team!!!!

I've dislocated my shoulder over 2 dozen times and have always been hesitant to get surgery or see a specialist until one day it popped out when I pumped my fist in the air too hard. My two good friends immediately recommended that I see Kate and it was one of my best decisions to date.
From the start, she was completely real with me about my options and was such an amazing person to talk to about my worries about surgery, my worries about my health moving forward, etc.
She definitely kicked my butt with some of the exercises, but I'm stronger than I've ever been! If you ever have the pleasure to work with Kate, please don't pass it up!

Ryan Perry does miracles! I was fairly hopeless when I started my PT at Avant, but within only 2 months, my back pain fully disappeared! All I did was diligently follow Ryan's prescribed exercises at home, which took me only 30 minutes a day.
And what's more, Ryan makes PT fun with his sense of humor. I literally looked forward to my weekly sessions with him. Thank you Ryan for your great work!

In July, I had Endometriosis surgery and after months, still had daily pain. My surgeon recommended pelvic floor PT.
I started PT with little hope that it would help but after 8 weeks with Bianca, I'm almost entirely pain free. I had no idea that pain could be managed so well with PT.
Thank you, Bianca and Avant, for showing me what it is like to not have to live with that kind of pain.

My body went through so many challenges during pregnancy, labor and birth. After giving birth my daughter, I didn't know when to start workout again and most importantly HOW to start it.. weakened pelvic floor, back pain after each breastfeeding, shoulder discomfort when I lift my baby.. From the moment I started therapy with Bianca, my body started to gain back the strength it used to have. During this pandemic, we had telemedicine appointments which worked for me pretty good and surprisingly easy! I had my postpartum therapy at home and I loved it!...

I worked with Laura S. for a few months on pelvic floor related issues. The place is clean and comfortable. Laura was very professional throughout the initial assessment, follow-up evaluations, and in adjusting my workout plan as I progressed. She listened carefully, provided good education, and offered many helpful advices, sometimes even beyond typical physical therapy. I am really happy...Read More »

Avant is an amazing facility. Top notch. I had major knee surgery and did PT with Gio for almost 18 months. She is awesome and helped me make a full recovery. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place
Laura is a miracle worker!!!
