I had an injury last May and sustained an injury in my knee and low back that caused an issue (anterolisthesis) resulting in nerve compression. This did not affect my back but significantly affected both my legs! Like a light switch, I experienced extreme fatigue/stiffness/strange pain in both legs that affected everything I did. I started doing PT with Jonathan and he's been working with me since last June. I can't sing his praises enough! And for his team as well (Flavia is so great). Jonathan completely tailored my therapy to me and what I needed and could do. He has taught me how to stand, how to sit, how to sleep and basically how to move through all activities without placing sress on my back. I'm so glad to say, I have improved immensely since this journey began. I am now working with Steve Johng, personal trainer, and he is great as well. I have all confidence that very soon, that switch will go the other way and I will be back to my "normal" before my accident. I recommend RPM physical therapy without reservation! More...

I began using RPM Physical Therapy after seeing the wonderful results my husband achieved working with them. I have been fortunate to work with both Jeff and Jonathan as my physical therapists and have been very impressed with their knowledge, professionalism and caring attitudes. Their focus is on improving the health and quality of life of their patients. They take the time to talk with you, understand any issues causing pain and or movement restrictions and then developed a treatment plan to address your specific needs. After receiving treatment from the physical therapists at RPM and learning exercises to do at home, I have gained strength and mobility I did not have before working with them. The best part is being pain free! To say they have changed my life immensely would be an understatement. I have no reservations recommending RPM Physical Therapy to anyone working toward optimum health through an active lifestyle. More...

Aside from being wonderful people and loving their personalities from the moment I met them, they’re extremely intelligent and are committed to improving my quality of life. They take physical therapy to a whole new level. They tailored my exercises to my current ability, issues and goals and I can tell don’t give these exercises to everybody but really understand my specific problem and how to solve it. I love these guys and I’m happy to be a part of the RPM family. More...

Before I met Jonathan at Del Webb for an introductory seminar, I had been very discouraged because I just was not recovering well from foot surgery. I had seen two doctors, two physical therapists through insurance, and a trainer with no appreciable results. Each had an opinion, each gave conflicting advice, but no one looked at the whole picture until I went to Jeff Tsao at RPM Physical Therapy. He did not make instant assumptions nor did he do all the talking like my other therapists. He asked lots of questions, put me through some movements, and actually listened to my concerns and frustrations because 7 months after surgery, I still could not even walk without pain. He was the first to realize my problems stemmed from two different issues, nerve and muscular. He set out to work on both issues and gave me additional exercises to do at home. He took the hands-on work at my pace so that I could tolerate the discomfort and understand why he was doing each task. A big difference in this practice is that Jeff did not just give me computer exercises, he made me do them, corrected form and made me do them again. He adjusted them so that they were suited to me in particular. I saw results very quickly and can now walk pain free and play tennis, pain free! Jeff and RPM as a whole are empathetic and very professional in their approach, and I am very glad I found this physical therapy practice! More...

I’ve been to other physical therapy practices after a car accident and I felt like another client rotation every time. With Jeff and Jonathan at Ruzicka Performance and Mobility I feel like an actual patient, being treated with care and a unique plan of action tailored to my injuries. They worked to find the root of my pain and not only repair it, but teach me proper exercises to strengthen my body & help protect it from further injuries. It’s been relieving to see what attention to detail with my physical therapy can do to decrease my pain and increase my range of motion. I am actually looking forward to pain free future and it is all because of these guys! Flavia makes appointments and communication a breeze, too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to everyone!

I have had a wonderful experience at RPM. You are welcomed with a smile and friendly greeting from Flavia and then have either Jeff or Jonathan work their magic. I have had acute pain in my heels for several years and was told by my podiatrist that the only remedy was to have surgery, followed by six months in a boot and then to be repeated on my other foot. This did not seem like a good option. My husband suggested RPM and within a couple of sessions I could feel major improvement. Jeff also gave me recommendations on posture and general movements which have helped me immensely. I can now walk down stairs in a normal fashion and can stand for long periods of time without extreme pain. If you are in need of physical therapy RPM is the place to go. More...

I called RPM out of sheer frustration with the medical profession. Two bad knees and frozen hip. I called to inquire about their services and spoke to the wonderful Flavia. She answered my questions and invited me to a free discovery session. I procrastinated for a couple of months but Flavia persisted and eventually I agreed to at least check it out. I have been going to the clinic for a couple of months and have been treated by both Jonathan and Jeff, great guys and great results. I have way less pain in my knees and I am getting more movement in my hip than I thought possible. This team is simply the best couldn't recommend more highly.

Jonathan, Is the owner and operator of RPM Ruzicka Performance & Mobility was referred to him for a lingering knee issue from years of working on my feet. My issue did not require surgery and I was lost when it came to fixing or maintenance for the issue. From the start of the first visit I felt I was in the right hands. He had diagnosed my condition and immediately went to work. Not only physically helping me improve and relieve my issue with every visit.

I had been seeing medical doctors before I came to the RPM facility. While a few said the problems I had were age-related and as such to be expected, others said exercise was the way to go. I was not going to be relegated to the “take it easy and relax do nothing group” because doing so is the quickest way to start nature's relatively quick vegetative process from which there little or no return back to a reasonable quality of life at my age - in a few very short weeks I will turn 90 years of age. So, without any hesitation, I chose the exercise route. The problem was, I did not know at the time where to get the best exercise(s) tailored specifically for me by medically trained technicians who knew what they were doing.My youngest daughter and her husband are patients of the RPM facility - both have been helped greatly by by the dedicated RPM staff. It was my daughter that, after persistently trying with a lot of tenacity on her part over a several week period, finally got me to come to the RPM facility for an evaluation by the two Doctorates. The two Doctorates discussed my physical problems between themselves such that I was also able to participate in the discussion through my questions and answers. So, through participation, I became a part of the solution as to what could be done to fix or otherwise alleviate physically related mostly arthritic problems. I, the author of this commentary, came to these RPM people for help during August 2019 with several different mostly arthritic-related physical problems that sometimes were causing me a real discomfort. I accepted their findings and recommendations and have not looked backwards since. I am steadily improving in performance and mobility. I got used to being in shape during my military life, and at 80 years of age, took up Tai Kwon Do martial arts for the most beneficial cardiac and weight bearing exercises available to me. I had to quit martial arts after almost nine years because of sciatica and arthritis in the hands, knees, and shoulders that caused unacceptable performance and mobility problems. The ever-present arthritis-related problems are being successfully addressed by the RPM staff, for which I am most grateful. I feel my strength, energy and endurance coming back a bit stronger every day that I spend at the RPM facility - with a most sincere thanks to the RPM staff working with me. Flavia keeps me on schedule and readily answers many of my questions, she is a very knowledgeable degreed people-oriented and job-oriented person that is not shy at all about helping other people. Brenden, my trainer, also very knowledgeable, is working on his master’s degree in sports management. He puts me through different exercises that were tailored by the two Doctorates to cope with my specific arthritic problems. He works me hard and daily tests my limits - I feel relaxed but tired when I leave. I don't know what I'm supposed to feel like at my age, but the fact is I feel better every day that I spend at the RPM facility. They work me hard, so, as a result I feel very much like I really worked out, but at the same time I feel relaxed and have good thoughts about the workout and how improved I feel after the workouts. Jeff is one of the two Doctorates of Physical Therapy that got me ready for the workouts. Jeff, like all the others, is most knowledgeable in how the body's muscles, skeletal bones, and nerves interact with one another. He has fingers of literal steel (I'm not joking). Jonathan is the owner and CEO of the RPM Company and also has a Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy. Jonathan is very knowledgeable in the body's muscle, skeletal, and nerve functions. He puts that very much in-depth knowledge and his many related skills to daily use in benefiting the many patients at the RPM facility. Great bunch of people, well worth knowing! More...

For a fitness fanatic and recently retired dance teacher, little aches and pains are just a way of life. What I thought was an overworked glute was ignored for years until the pain shot down my leg and wrapped around my foot. The final straw was a 6-hour car trip that nearly brought me to tears. I finally had to admit something was terribly wrong! My fitness instructor recommended Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka so I gave it a shot. I was skeptical. I’ve done physical therapy. You go, pay a co-pay and someone shows you an exercise, tells you how many reps to do and then tells you they’ll be back to check on you. Boy was I surprised! One on one treatment for a full hour and the best part…. after my second session I literally broke down at fitness class “I’m not in pain!” I wasn’t magically cured but I was about 85% better just after 2 days of hands-on manual therapy. Jonathan gave me at home exercises to strengthen my glutes and not allow the rest of my body to overcompensate. We also worked on a plan on how to correct my form in class to avoid problems in the future. It has been 6 weeks as of today and I can stretch, sit and watch tv, and ride in a car without pain. I am looking forward to traveling to Asia this winter, on a 20- hour flight that would have been unbearable. If you are in pain, all I can say is, don’t wait! You know your body. You know when something is wrong. Get it taken care and get it taken care of by the best. More...

I am someone who had just decided I “inherited a bad lower back”, and treatment at RPM has been the only measure to ever offer me true healing. Ten years of getting hurt doing the silliest/simplest tasks, and this last episode of back pain put me completely out of commission. Couldn’t lift my three year old, could even stand up straight. I turned to RPM in utter desperation (they came highly recommended from a personal trainer who teaches my barre class). Guess what? Flavia had me worked in to see Jonathan and Jeff that afternoon. Their treatment approach is hands-on, includes stretching and strength training exercises and they even taught me how to properly get out of bed in the morning. Jeff has worked with me on modifications that will allow me to continue attending my beloved Barre. Each exercise they have taught me has been followed with an instructional video sent directly to my phone for convenience and clarity. Every time I’ve walked in their doors I’ve been greeted by name, and asked specific questions related to my health—they get to know you and the care about you. Could not begin to sum up how wonderful this group of talented professionals is—they are game-changers and miracle-workers. I’m a fan for life. A happy, healed fan. More...

It’s great reading all these positive reviews and thought I would share my story too. I am 27 years old and live a very active lifestyle. I began having lower back pain about two and a half years ago but never sought treatment and simply lived with the discomfort. However, I recently woke up and couldn’t stand up straight, walking was near impossible without leaning on a counter or wall and I could not find a comfortable position to rest.A friend of mine suggested RPM and swore it changed his life. After three days of not being able to stand up straight, I made an appointment with Jeff. One week and three appointments later, I am back to living my normal active lifestyle. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at RPM and the personal attention I got from Jeff. Sessions were a full hour of one on one attention involving manipulations, stretches, and exercises. Jeff always explained what we were doing and how it will help, which I have carried into my everyday life.Thanks to the entire staff at RPM for literally helping me get back on my feet and on with my normal life.

This place literally saved me! I have never had a herniated disc before and never wish that pain upon others. For years, I had sciatic nerve pain that comes and goes which I could usually remedy with quick stretches here and there. Until one day the pain just wouldn't go away. So I seeked out treatment, being that I was ill-advised I went to the chiropractor first. But after 8+ treatments I was not getting better. I would feel a little bit of relief the first few hours after every adjustment and then it would revert back to the original pain I was having. It was getting harder and harder to function everyday. It was debilitating, I was losing hope everyday that I would ever get better. Then I found RPM, I Googled for help and they showed up. I went to their website to learn more about them and I was impressed. The raving reviews they have got me intrigued and excited. They reached out to me the very next day and we scheduled an appointment right away. They heard my pain through the phone and they immediately jumped at the opportunity to help me. Jonathan and his team have been such a pleasure to deal with. I can't explain enough in words how refreshing it is to deal with people who are as equally invested in your well being as you are.

I I came to RPM with a lot of lower back pain. I have been lifting since I was in middle school when I started playing football and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. I worked at a feed store for awhile in between jobs and really aggravated something in my lumbar region. I stretched, iced, heated the area and was taking OTC pain killers as often as recommended and had no relief. I am an active person and I benefit greatly from physical exercise. I find that I need to exercise not only for my physical health, but my mental health as well. The fact that exercise was becoming very close to not being an option for me anymore, I decided I had to do something about it. I started looking for different back surgeons, until I was recommended by a friend to have a consultation first with Jonathan at RPM. He listened to my situation over the phone, and then had me come into his facility for a full assessment. He was confident that I could reduce or eliminate my back pain without surgery (which I was extremely skeptical) but decided to give his program a try. He took a lot of time listening and and asking questions so that he could pinpoint the reasons and causes of my pain. Within days, he had created a personalized program for me, complete with exercises to rehabilitate my back at home, and we started working hard during our time at his facility to create new habits and eliminate old ones. This was all one-on-one time, not some group physical therapy (I have been in groups before). I found that since he was a collegiate athlete as well as a licensed PT, he could better understand my complaints and create a customized plan to help me reach my goals in the gym. RPM also taught me techniques and methods to keep me from re-injuring my back and keep me active and eliminate down time. Within 6 sessions (this is with doing exactly what I was told to do), I was literally pain free and going through intense workouts in the gym again. I can’t thank Jonathan and his team at RPM enough. They really exceeded my expectations and made a believer out of me without the need for surgery, tons of down time and a grueling rehab recovery. I highly recommend for anyone that is in pain to reach out for a consultation to at least see if there is anything they can do to eliminate your pain before resorting to surgery and especially relying on prescription pain medication!

I have dealt with a bulging disk in my lower back for more than a decade. At best there was always dull pain and tightness and at worst I was completely immobilized and unable to move or go to work. I had seen orthopedic surgeons, received steroid injections and seriously entertained the idea of surgery. Before seeing Dr. Ruzicka, I just thought it was normal to deal a baseline level of pain and stiffness, have flare-ups a few times per year and get steroid injections every few years when the issues became completely unbearable.

I started seeing Dr. Ruzicka at the recommendation of a family member after missing work several times during an 18 month period for back related flare-ups. I was encouraged by the fact he’s personally had similar injuries to mine and understands how to manage them without injections or surgery. In addition to the work Jonathan did during my appointments, he gave me 2-3 minutes of exercises and stretches and other tools to manage my issues between appointments. After two months I have seen an immeasurable improvement in my symptoms to the point of having no noticeable tightness or soreness on a daily basis. One of the catalysts for me finally scheduling my first appointment with RPM two months ago was an upcoming multiday backpacking trip in the Pacific Northwest. Jonathan was one of the first people I reached out to after getting back to cellular service; just to say thanks for making it possible to enjoy the trip without pain or fear of having a flare-up.

I would recommend Jonathan to anyone dealing with pain or stiffness, whether related to specific injury or a long-term chronic issue. He truly cares about improving his patients’ quality of life and helping people. I am amazed by the progress I have seen in two months for an issue I have dealt with for more than ten years. I cannot recommend RPM highly enough. Thanks Jonathan.

In the past, I had gone to Physical Therapy clinics that shuttled me around from station to station and there wasn't much attention to detail when I was exercising, but at RPM everything is one on one so I got results fast.

At one point, I started having pain in my big toe, which I thought was weird since it is far from where my surgery was and they figured out the cause of that and fixed it too. Now I am continuing with the things I learned there on my own and getting back to exercising 5 days a week... I put on a few pounds after the surgery but now that my foot isn't a problem there is nothing to hold me back. I have recommended them to my dad and family, I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality expertise and real solutions.

After being told by numerous surgeons that I needed surgery to eliminate my lower back pain, I was determined to find an alternative that would help. I am very glad I called Dr. Jonathan Ruzicka at RPM Mobility and Performance. It has been a life changing experience for me. After four, one hour sessions and the exercises at home, I am able to perform my job and experience the outdoor activities I enjoy with no pain. Dr. Ruzicka is a professional who strives to be the best in his field of medicine. He has a great personality and loves to teach the "science" of mobility. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with lower back pain, or any other joint pain. Finally, a doctor that actually helped. Thanks RPM Mobility and Performance. More...

I have been to other physical therapists and they all want to keep you going as long as they can. Johnatan was always very honest with what you have to do and the time you need to go to therapy. Me and my daughter have been there for different injuries with great results for both of us. More...

I was out of the country while working and had a bad fall that hurt my back. I wasn’t really sure what to do because I never had an issue with my back before. After reading a lot of online reviews I ended up reaching out to 3 different clinics. The first person I saw twice and had no change. The second clinic was disorganized and was a little too pushy for me to actually go in and feel comfortable. RPM was far for me but I was barely able to walk and after talking to them on the phone I thought there was a chance they could help..
I’m very happy I tried them out and with my overall experience. I was 90% better with just a few visits. I stayed consistent with my exercises for a few weeks and I haven’t had the problem since.
If you’ve never dealt with a back problem before and you don’t really know what to do then I would definitely recommend reaching out to someone at RPM. They know how to put together a structured program so you can heal quickly. I just wish I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money in other places.

Running has always been my preferred form of exercise. Two years ago I began experiencing lower back pain that made running a painful experience.

Fortunately for me I became a client at RPM. After describing my condition to Jonathan, he quickly recommended treatments and a customized training program that has helped me return to running pain free.

I am so grateful to Jonathan and RPM for helping me help myself!

My son is 15 yrs old, complaining of back pain(lower) for over a month now. He does football and does a lot of weight lifting. I took him to my Pediatrician who did an X-ray which was normal and sent us in our way!!!
We are so thankful we found Dr. Ruzicka. I have never myself visited a Physical Therapist but I wanted help for my son. Well I think we got the Best. One on One care. He is a former football player so he is able to help my son with his form in lifting which turns out was the major problem in causing his back pain. I think we have had 4-5 visits and the pain has decreased so much. My son would complain on a constant basis which he doesn’t anymore.
If a family member or friend needed PT I would definitely recommend Jonathan!!! I really feel all teenagers would benefit who just need directions on correctly lifting weights the proper way!!!

Jonathan helped me with a back issue. I had dealt with the pain in my leg from my back for almost a year. It took me a while to get some help thinking it would heal without any intervention. I was not sure if I even had a back issue since the pain was in my leg. I think everyone thought I was "too young" to be dealing with a back issue. After some time of dealing with pain, I finally went the doctor and he gave me a prescription to see a PT. I just randomly choose a place next to my house and it happened to be the place where Jonathan worked. I told him my situation and he seemed so confident that you could help me. But since he was leaving to start his own business, I only got to work with him for a week. At this time, I thought all physical therapist were the same, so I just stayed at the clinic close to my house. After months of dealing with the pain and no help from the other PT that replaced Jonathan, I decided to go back to the doctor. I did an MRI and they confirmed that it was in fact my back causing the pain in my leg. Now that I knew the problem, I tried to fix the issue myself. I searched the internet reading everything I could find on the subject. I tried various methods and none of them ever worked. The last method I attempted was to try working out to strengthen my muscles around my back. One morning I woke up in extreme pain after a previous day workout. I had hurt myself so badly from working out incorrectly that I had missed a month of work. I went back to the doctor because the pain was unbearable. I never wanted to perform surgery and that is why I was trying to fix the issue myself. I was concerned that surgery would be the only option. He told me that he recommended that I get a shot in my back to help with inflammation. Even the shot concerned me and I really wanted to find a way to fix it naturally that would have long term results. I waited another week in extreme pain hoping it would get better. The pain never stopped, so I finally scheduled the procedure. I sat around the house dealing with this pain for two weeks and those two weeks seemed to drag on forever. I was unable to sleep because laying or sitting down was also out of the question. Walking seemed to give me some relief, so paced around the house all week. Since I was sleep deprived, I continued to read about the procedure that I was about to perform. I had read that most people were getting three and four shots a year to keep that pain away. But I had also read that if I coupled this procedure with an exercise program from a PT that I had a better chance of the pain to never return. I knew that the other PT had not help me in the past, so I did not want to go back to just anyone. I remembered how Jonathan was so confident that he could fix my issue. I searched for him on the internet and emailed him a few days before my produce. He responded in a quick manner and said he remembered me. He told me he could help me without the shot, but he was excited that after the procedure we could get right to work on the issue. Jonathan has been great for me! We started off with him mostly manually working on me and giving me exercises to do at home. The exercises at home where great, for the most part they have keep the pain away. There were sometimes that I still felt the pain. But Jonathan explained to me the manual work and the home exercises where just short-term solutions and they were not helping me get ahead of the issue. If I wanted long term pain reduction, I needed a workout program. Since I have added in the workout program and the manual work together, I feel better than ever. Jonathan is a miracle worker and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with long term back pain. More...

My mom, due to a recent car accident, experienced severe pain in her neck and her lower back. This led us to give physical therapy with Mr. Jon Rusicka a try and we are immensely grateful to him for finally helping relieve my mom's pain.

He genuinely cares about the wellness of his clients and is incredibly knowledgeable. Jon not only gives quality care within the one-on-one sessions but also provided realistic yet effective plans for physical care outside of the sessions for speedy recovery. I'm definitely not one to write reviews often but was compelled to write this because Jon is just that incredible and is definitely deserving of more than 5 stars if I could give it to him!

Seriously, do not think twice about getting at least an initial session with him - he's incredible and it will be well worth your investment!

I first went to RPM by the recommendation from a family member. I have always been an active, athletic person with a good amount of musclular integrity from gymnastics and soccer growing up. When I was in college I started to develop knee pains after long durations of sitting down, which happened frequently due to my course load. After graduation the pain continued, but I really identified that I only experienced it when sitting for extended periods of time. The only way to describe the pain is the feeling that my knee caps were being split apart. Normal activities such as walking, running, working out, or yoga did not cause any problems. I went and saw an orthopedist who gave me a diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome and instructed me to work with a physical therapist for a few weeks. After my time with the therapist, I did not notice any drastic improvements. I still experienced pain and had basically given up on any solutions. I continued on my normal life and exercise routines and had just decided to live with it.
A couple years later, RPM was recommended to me. On my initial consultation, Jonathan explained that my knees might not be the source of the problem, but could be victims of other joint problems that have been untreated for years. My therapy with RPM targeted everything from my hips to my ankles, trying to realign the all muscle fibers so they are working as they were designed to. I was given exercises that targeted the specific muscle groups that were weak and attributing to the pain I was experiencing.
After only 6 sessions over the course of 3 months (the time period is long only due to my work schedule), I finally saw a difference. I could sit comfortably longer that I could ever remember. It was incredible. I fly a lot for work, and I will never forget the first flight I was able to sit through without the feeling that my kneecaps were splitting in half. I didn’t notice it at first, but when I was about to stand up to get off I realized it and was shocked! I can’t thank RPM enough for what they have done for me. Would highly recommend this team for anyone that experiences chronic pain or has sports injuries (old or new). The treatment is personal and 100% tailored to your needs. You will not regret it!

After multiple surgeries on my feet due to congenital malformation, my right knee has begun to deteriorate as a result of an abnormal gait. The result is a significant loss of mobility and quality of life. I was referred to Dr. Ruzicka just a few weeks ago and I feel very fortunate to now be under his care. I am already seeing an improvement in mobility and look forward to my sessions with Dr. Ruzicka. His individualized plan of care is giving me hope that I will regain mobility and avoid knee surgery in the immediate future. More...

For starters; this is probably the first review that I have ever written that was not incentivized. I started weight lifting after about 8 years of non-activity. After about 2 months i started to feel pain in my in shoulder and rotator cuff area, but continued to workout in spite of. After 2 month of completely ignoring it; the pain began to progress. It started to spread down my arm and back, to the point when the entire area below my elbow would go numb ,and my fingertips would tingle whenever I raised my arm above my knee, and I had trouble sleeping at night .

I asked around about physical therapists, and came across Dr. Ruzicka's name on 2 separate occasions. He came highly recommended. I contacted Dr. Ruzicka and he was able to get me in immediately. I have an outside sales job takes me all over the city, and keeps me extremely busy, so this was definitely a plus. Upon arriving at RPM; I immediately noticed the facility was very clean and I was greeted by everyone person I encountered. Now to Dr. Ruzicka.

This guy is AMAZING! We had our initial consultation over the phone, but we reviewed again and he walked me through the diagnosis and the steps that he would be taking to help rid me of my chronic pain. The first session, was nothing like I expected. I prepared for an hour of pain, but Dr. Ruzicka took his time and accessed the areas where I was experiencing the most discomfort and explained to me why. Night 1; I slept like a baby! This was the first time that I had a full nights sleep in 2 months without numbness in my arm. Not only has this process been effective, but more educational that I could have ever imagined. Considering that this is physical therapy; it was the most comfortable Dr's appointment that I have ever been to. Dr. Ruzicka is very professional, but he is also personable. He really knows how to read his patients. I get so wrapped up in our conversations that I forget about some of the discomfort. He really cares about you and your overall well being. God forbid, you ever find yourself in need of a physical therapist, but if you so; I definitely encourage you see Dr. Ruzicka.
