Five weeks ago I cam to R&R for Rehab after having Surgery to my lower back to reduce the pain in my left leg. R&R is the 4th rehab place I have gone to in the past 18 months. In addition to rehab and surgery in the last 18 months I have had 2 epidurals, 5 MRI\'s, 25 visits with a chiropractor, 40 massage visits, and seen 9 surgeons for surgical options. I can honestly say that the only significant relief I have received was at R&R Physical Therapy.
Total Motion Release, which is a PT philosophy R&R practices, has been a tremendous help. From the first day I cam to R&R until now, I have been 100% free of pain killers. I plan on continuing the TMR movements I have learned at R&R every day from now on. It is very empowering to be able to control my pain without medications.
Thank you
After going to a different therapy center, I did not have any confidence in R&R in helping me because the other therapy did no good. But just a couple of visits working with the therapists in R&R, I am better. I learn to have a positive attitude and I know my strength will get better and I owe it to R&R. The right therapy and the great attitude. Thank you for helping me.

I am delighted to report that I have learned to pay attention to my body. I can now evaluate what has happened and respond appropriately. The speed in which I can see these changes is rewarding and fair. The process depends on my commitment. That process is what allows me to function without the use of daily pain medication.
This has been a great response to a long-term problem.
Dory S
When I came here in great deal of pain, after a few sessions I have learn how to control the pain. With the exercise I got from the therapist, really help me control the pain.
Sharon H
When I came to R&R I could not walk and I was confined to a wheelchair. Also, I had other health issues. Most importantly, now I can walk short distances without assistance! I am very glad I listened to my referring physician.
Lucene B
Today is one month that I have been a patient here, and I really have been healed, my shoulder is a lot better and my knee is, really great. I thank all of the staff and I hope I was a good patient. Thank you again!
Winifred M
There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Luna's technique has helped me enormously, I have done a lot of personal work for myself, but Dr. Luna "raised the bar" and set me off in a very positive direction, showing both immediate results and giving me tools to continue to address my issues throughout my lifetime.
I am grateful for his help and for the gentle positive instruction and encouragement that he gave to me.
Anna L
Thank you for greatly improving my physical health. My foot and ankle are much better. I feel my overall body strength is much better. I would recommend your procedures to anyone experiencing physical pain or muscular weakness. You guys are the best!
John P
Thanks to the physical therapy I received at R&R, I not only experienced less pain and discomfort in the long term, but I learned how to relieve it faster than any medication and without side-effects.
West M
Before attending therapy I was having trouble performing daily tasks. Now I am able to do most of everything I want to.
Lisa C
This has been the best therapy ever, the total experience from the beginning to the end was wonderful. I wish you all well and if I ever need therapy I will come here first.
Cathy T
Before coming to R&R therapy, I had a great deal of right neck and shoulder pain. I was unable to raise my arm for any length of time and unable to complete easy tasks. During therapy I was shown the proper exercises to decrease the flare-ups and pain. Little by little my pain dimminished and I was able to use my right arm more. After my 8 weeks of therapy, I am able to use my right arm for a good amount of time like I am supposed too! This therapy has taught me how to live pain free! Thank you very much!
Christine K
This has been the most beautiful experiencing I have had in a while. I came to this practice with a lot of pain on my knees, shoulders, elbow and could barely walk straight. What a difference coming to R&R Physical Therapy has made in my posture, pain cure and general feeling of well being. Thank you Rene and your beautiful team of calm people.
Keep up with the good work of working from the inside to bring relief to people when they need it!
Uche O
When I came to R&R my right arm hurt even when I was not moving it at all and now after doing all my exercising, it does not hurt when I just set and not move it. When I do use it, it hurt about a 4 or 5.
All the people that work at R&R are so nice and they know what they are doing.
Lois H
I would like to take this opportunity to express the difference R&R Therapy has made in my life. For the past two months of physical therapy from my first visit to the last, there is an overwhelming change in the way I physically feel. Before I started the physical therapy, my body was so sore I could not walk without holding on to something or with the help of someone near me. I felt as if I was off balance. I was very tense, i.e. if a door slammed shut, loud noises, jumping in my sleep, very nervous. I was afraid to sit and ride in a car with others because of the nervousness and jittery feelings. I did not have any confidence in myself. I was involved in a car accident, where a car hit me on the passage side and resulted in the total loss my car, but thank God I am alive. The other car fail to yield at the traffic light.
I am unable to put into words, what Rene's relaxation therapy sessions and all of the services provided by the staff has done for me, my body and spirit. I did not want to end my contact with R&R physical therapy without letting you all know how much you are appreciated. I feel much better now. I have learned how to relax, slow down and not get in a hurry. I am satisfied with the services I have received. I will continute my exercises at home.
Thank you for all you have done. May you continue to do great works for others in need.
Rhoda B
I have had a wonderful experience working with the staff at R&R Physical Therapy. I came with pain in my shoulders and hip. After completing the sessions my legs are stronger, I have more range of motion and my pain has been controled. I plan to continue the daily excercises, until the pain is completely gone.
I would recommend this therapy for anyone.
Jone B
I had a terrible car accident on Friday, March 13 and broke my neck and fractured my back in several places. When the TMH neaurosurgeon removed the "Halo" and "TLSO" braces I'd been wearing for three months, I could barely turn my head. Fortunately, a therapist at HealthSouth recommended me to R&R Physical Therapy, a place I was meant to be. Immediately, I saw how Rene and his staff worked diligently to achieve their corporate mission statement which is, "to help patients achieve a positive and meaningful difference in their lives." They have a vision, which now includes me, and they do what their mission says. In my R&R visits, I appreciated the caring spirit and genuine concern of Rene and Whitney, who were never too busy to listen to me rant about "my level of pain". While Im not back to jogging or swimming, I am working, driving typing, giving presentations, and walking two miles every other day. Even now, I still here Rene's soft voice saying. "Trust your body," and with those simple words resounding in my soul, I am learning to do just that!
Bev D
Before coming here I could barely turn my neck at all and barely slept at night due to the pain in my back. After getting help I am almost back to normal and I am able to stop any pain if it does come back. I am able to sit through a full class and concentrate on the class, not how bad my back hurts.
Alyssa A
Since working with Rene and others at R&R, I have felt wonderful-pain free, and energetic. It is amazing what a few minutes of exercise can do, and the best thing is that I was taught to be aware of issures and fix them myself. Instead of looking forward to knee replacements, I think I will be able to avoid that prosepect.
Donna S
I came to R&R to tell you the truth, I wasnt expecting too much because of the pain I have been dealing with since the treatment I was afraid to let go of my arms because they were so stuff and the lymphodema I have in my right arm. The swelling was much more noticable then it is now, I can move my left arm to a tremendous height now. I have tools to work with at home to keep improving the right side. I believe I am going to keep recovering because the staff at R&R taught me that I can beat pain. Thanks everyone for your kindness,patience, and your help!
Ruth T
R&R Physical Therapy is by far the best therapy I have experienced and I am 60 years old! The approach is gentle, but extremely healing, powerful and effective. Through a careful and brilliant diagnosis by Rene, I was prescribed an appropriate physical exercise routine that was immediately physically a neurolgically healing, for each treatment session.
The individualized attention to a patients neuromuscular and vestibular systems by the entire staff was an amazing healing and positive experience. The R&R's sensitive technique-seems to me- after many forms of previous physical therapy-to be the most beneficial. The Primal Reflex Release is one mobility that seems to tap energy to heal the entire body. Complementing the most effective and natural physical therapy, I highly recommend R&R to all!
Laura T
When I first started therapy my muscles were tight from my neck down to my legs. After 3 weeks of 3 sessions a week, my overall condition has improved. Activities that normally aggravated and caused pain to those muscles no longer cause any discomfort.

Renee, Don and Tina were very helpful and inspirational, resulting in my improved mobility. I found this program to be easier to gain a reduction in pain when walking.
Shelley S
I was referred to Renne at R&R by my friend Dr. Koonz. I am 48 and had lost flexibility, gained weight, reduced my workout routine and began having regular back pain. Before the Holidays I injured my back and was virtually immobile for at least 6 weeks. I went to a chiropractor and had 7 or 8 adjustments which provided temporary relief, in some cases the adjustment was lost by the time I entered my car!
After 1 visit with Rene at R&R, I noticed immediate pain reduction and increased flexibility! This continued for each of my next 4 visits.
-I am healthier
-I feel better
-I've resumed exercise and have lost weight!
-I have the tools to self-asses and self-correct in just a few minutes each day! (or as needed)
-Everyone should explore this! You will improve ailments and feel younger.
Bill M
Although it had been over six weeks after my wrist injury before I came to RR Physical Therapy, I began to see immediate improvements. I had pain relief even after my initial visit. As a result of the treatments I got stronger and found that I was able to do more of my routine duties without pain.
Angela P
The staff at R&R Physical Therapy from the start was very knowledgeable of the techniques and methods necessary to help heal my ankle in jury. Ive never had a workers comp injury and didnt know what to expect. The staff was professional yet very personable. I observed excellent automent service in me and other patients. Id be having a bad day because of pain but the time i felt them, id be feeling so much better. They seemed to really care about my progress and made continued suggestions to help my situation. I can actually use what they taught me in my daily routines for personal wellness.Thanks!
Aunie T
I am 82 years old/ My wife is 81. We have been married for 65 years and I thought we were suppose to act "old". After several falls each, we were trying to prevent or delay canes or walkers. We took the recommended hearing and balance course and both of us are doing much better. I feel that we enjoyed a long weekend at your Lake House. The first in about a year. We caught, cooked, and ate fish, with our 2 daughters and son-in-law. We feel that we have a new extended life.
Herb&Ann T
Thank you so much for the workshop you gave. Although I had brought my mother and watched her improve. I had not realized the principle on which you were basing your approach.
The idea that we look at the body as a whole is no a new idea to me. However, following through and working with the good side not the hurting and injured side and regaining balance was new.
The testimonials of some of your patients and visible weekly improvements of the patient you shared video clips of were impressive.
You asked us to asses ourselves, first by raising our right arm then our left. We were asked to work with the good side, the looser side the sided that did not hurt. After raising my good arm twice for a count of 20. You asked us to again asses the other tighter or painful arm. My tight shoulder had significantly released that clutch of tightness. this shoulder that I have not been able to loosen had loosened, not by my rubbing it, not by exercise and stretching, but by working with the good side.
This Total Motion Release has for reaching implication sin all I do as a nurse. Thank you again
Nancy M
I initially came to the Neuro-Balance center to see Dr. Koberda beacuse I had been having debilitating bous of severe vertigo every few months for 10 years(since a severe storm on a cruise in 2000). He diagnosed me with Benign Positional Vertigo and refered me to R&R Physical Therapy. My first visit to R&R was on March 8, 2010 and Tina was my therapist. Tina introduced me to Total Motion Release exercises and then did a maneuver with my head to get the crystals in my inner ear back into place. Miraculously, I have had not one incident of even mild vertigo since that day!
I also asked for help with my right knee and leg that was in a great deal of pain-stemming from an initial injury in a car accident 35 years ago(compound fracture of my right tib/fib(. I had a second surgery in 1992 when a rod was placed in my tibia. I have had pain off and on for years and was looking at probably knee replacement. In the 7 weeks I have been coming to R&R, I have learned to understand my body, and I know what to do to alleviate the knee and leg pain.
All of the staff here: Tina, Don, Whitney, and Rene are knowledgeable and compassionate people who have been gentle but efffective. I am now pain free and will continue to do the exercises at home so I stay that way. My time here has been a blessing and I have already recommended R&R to many of my friends and family. God bless you all and I thank you with all my heart!
Marilyn H
Before visiting RR Physical Therapy Celia was unable to comb her hair or walk without assistance even when using her walker. Now she has been able to comb her hair in the morning and walk without assistance while using her walker. She was very happy after several years of needing assistance. She now looks forward to her therapy and would like to thank everyone involved.
Celia H
I thank God for this time of ways that he help my body to overcome this pain. And R&R Therapy for take the time to help me and my loving wife to see the results I have overcome in this short time. May God keep you and staff in his loving hand for ever and ever.
A B
Participating in R&R has enabled me to finally get out of “my chair” and actually doing things. For over a year, I could do very few things involving movement. After five weeks with Rene…I have worked in the yard (planting and cleaning out places), gone shopping and gone to the mall. Some of these visits to stores, I even went in without my cane-a great feeling! My entire family is so grateful for the improvement in my attitude and my being able to do things again…
Dr. William B
My body feels so much better since I went to you. I can’t believe that I randomly picked your clinic out of the phonebook and found someone who was actually able to correct the pain in my back. I feel extremely lucky to have had you as my physical therapist. I really don’t know how to put it into words, but you really changed my life…
Philip S
When I first came in, I could barely walk. I had a lot of weakness on my right side with pain in my back and leg…my first couple of visits I was walking with a cane and now I don’t have to walk with one at all…I can say that the physical therapy approach has truly helped me gain my strength without being painful.
Cristina P
Over the years I have suffered from neck and back pain. I have seen many different MD’s, DC’s, PT’s and LMT’s spending many thousands of dollars. The best results only gave me temporary relief and I had to constantly be retreated. Since finding R&R PT and TMR, my life has changed. Rene has taught me how to “fix” myself. I no longer have to take the pain medication or to spend money on temporary fixes. I would strongly recommend this technique to any who suffers as I did.
Dr. Tom S
I was referred to R&R Physical Therapy when I hurt my back at work lifting a person that fell. I have been following the exercises and my back is 100% better. The therapy they do here really works. Also helps other pains in body too. I am very pleased with the results of my therapy.
James G
I am committed to the philosophy of TMR. The absence of pain in my knee and hip accompanied by restful sleep are the rewards. I have taken no pain medication since January 6th of 2007.
Harriete M
I started physical therapy because the pain in my neck, back and elbow were becoming worse all the time and a new sharp pain in my side was making my life difficult. My therapy has brought my pain level way down. I don’t even notice it most days! The unexpected benefits of greater flexibility in my hip and shoulder joints and a greater range of motion have thrilled me; I don’t feel like a stiff creaky old lady anymore. Thank you for the fab five and the WOW!
Ruth S
I had a lot of pain. I was glad that my doctor sent me to R&R Physical Therapy. They help me a lot. I feel good, sleep good. I just love every thing that they help me to feel. I want to tell every one to come if they are in pain. R&R help a lot make you feel like a new body.
Jessie Mae P
When I start with R&R Physical Therapy, I was using a walker. And I was off the walker and I got on the cane. And now, I am not using any of them. I don’t hurt now like I use to.
Dorothy F
I’m very pleased with my progress since I’ve been coming here. I feel 100% better. The staff and my therapist were very good and kind, and had a lot of patience with me. I am glad I came.
Mary J
Since I came to R&R Physical Therapy, I have achieved a lot of progress. Before I came here, my shoulder and my whole body hurt terribly and with therapy, I feel brand new. Thank you R&R!
Henry I
My dizziness and “tight” neck have been constant since 1999. Nobody has been able to help. And then, I found R & R PT! It has truly helped and doing the exercises gives me immediate relief. Thanks…
Doris B
I had a lower back fusion in 1972. Since that time, I’ve had a lower back pain and stiffness due to scar tissue and limited mobility. Since I’ve started the fab5 exercises the sore spot has gone and I am more flexible. I’ve also been able to stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs which should help me health wise in the long run.
Bud W
My body was very stiff and I had limited movement, until I attended therapy sessions at R&R Physical Therapy for a month; I feel 98% better now than I did before and I can move freely.
Mildred C
I know I have improved 90% since I started therapy. I don’t feel the stiffness in my knee anymore when I walk. I don’t feel the stiffness on my right arm. I don’t feel the stiffness and ache when I get up in the morning. My walking has improved.
Mary W
I was experiencing severe pain in my left shoulder, was unable to lift my arm without the pain. Driving an automobile was difficult also. The pain was in the joint area and muscle tension. I was unable to perform my job which involves reaching overhead, lifting, bending and stretching the arms. After coming back to therapy and using the 5step program, I experienced immediate relief in the arm and shoulder. I continued to use the program on a daily basis twice a day and became pain free.
Victoria Y
Before I started this therapy I could not raise my legs and put them on a stool over 1 foot high. I can now lift my legs and put each foot on a counter top 32” high.
Philip Q
After five sessions of about 45 minutes each, my troubled knee is back to normal. The pain I had before with the right and left knee is tolerable now and I no longer dread have to get up from sitting.
Bascom M
When I started coming to R&R Physical Therapy, I had dislocated my shoulder. And I was in bad pain. Now I am healed. I think that R&R Physical therapists are the best and I advise anyone to come here for help. Thanks! You guys are great. And I feel 100% better.
Yashica H
During the course of physical therapy at R&R I have made a lot of progress. At the beginning of therapy on 15th of August 2006, I felt severe pain in my entire back but continue physical therapy. I have become pain free and feel 100% better.
Jacqueline M
I am truly amazed the progress I’ve made. I can sit without pain and get up 80% better. The back pain which was constant has subsided 95%. When in pain, I now know how to take control. It’s GREAT!
Helen Q
R&R Physical Therapy gave me instant relief even on my first visit. I still get hip pain and SI joint issues because I like to exercise hard, but now with what I’ve learned from R&R, I can quickly get my body back in line and pain free. I want to tell everyone about R&R Physical Therapy so they can get the same relief I experienced.
Breeda W
When I came to R&R in November, I had several bruises from toppling against door frames, tables, and other objects plus a burn on my right thigh which was caused by a fall against an oil heater…Now I’ve put away my rollator and the handicapped parking permit. I stride along, and have even run, without thinking about the steps I’ve taken. My energy level is very high…I feel much stronger and find I’m standing and sitting tall again without effort…
Dr. Carolyn Schluck
I have learned many things during this process, which includes learning many exercises to help heal my neck and back pains, and also the importance of pains and how it helps to protect the body. Overall, my experience here has been 100% satisfactory.
Lauren H
When I first visited R&R I was limping badly, very stiff and sore. I was fearful that therapy would be painful and difficult. I was very pleased when the therapy produced immediate results with a high level of relief. There was virtually no pain caused by the exercises he taught me. This is something I will most likely use for the remainder of my life.
David J
I was experiencing severe knee pain for several years. After two sessions I felt completely pain free. I rate my progress here to be 100%!
