Ken first saw me for my knees, then recognized I had an issue with my foot (that turned out to be a broken sesamoid bone). He got me to seek treatment for that, then helped me recover from that surgery. One year with him and I feel better than I have in years.
“Ken has fixed two problems in the span of a year - he's the best!”

Dr. Van is resourceful in providing workout programs. I am challenged by new activities, but can accomplish goals and see improvement. I had a severe pain on the left knee when I first saw Dr. Van. In the next 10-12 sessions, I gained so much strength that I am not hindered by any pain and walk (or run) around the town 5-6 miles a day. Dr. Van explains the reason behind these exercise activities. During business trips, he provided modified mat-based exercises so that I was able to keep up with the progress. Dr. Van also communicates by email or by phone when needed. Excellent provider of physical therapy.

Great therapist - thorough, spends time working through issues and ailments. Can't recommend him to too many people though, because then I'll never be able to get an appointment.

After a relatively healthy, fit but unathletic life, unexpected surgery woke me up to my body's potential. Ken and his team helped me become someone I never really was: strong and physically confident, and enthusiastic about working at both. I'd recommend this studio to anyone.
“Since working with Ken and his predecessor these last two years, I've been transformed.”

Ken took the time to thoroughly understand my injury (distal bicep tendon tear), as well as the surgery I had to repair it, and my activities since that time. This level of rigor was a refreshing change from other PT experiences I've had where one is whisked through and given a "cookie cutter" treatment protocol that's not as personalized as it should be. Ken then spent the remainder of our visit (which was my first), deftly working the injured area which resulted in an immediate improvement in range of motion and reduction of stiffness and swelling. All the office staff were also friendly and helpful. Overall, I'm very impressed and feel I made the right choice in selecting RPT for my rehab.

Ken is an outstanding physical therapist. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, with an easy, affable personality. I have been a patient of Ken's for eight years, for conditions that include two total hip replacements, knee pain and foot pain. He gets results. He helps me recover quickly. I recommended him to my wife and now she is a patient too.

Ken has been taking care of my husband for 10 plus years, and when I got injured, my darling husband insisted that Ken is the therapist he trusted to take care of me. Ken easygoing manner and natural charm puts his patients at ease. His confidence and knowledge easily earns our trust. I don't know how he does it, but I truly appreciate his attentive listening, as much as the the excellent physical care. I love the friendly, responsive attitude and atmosphere of the entire team. The ladies at the front desk, are very customer focused, dealing with registration and appointments, they make the transition elegant, professional and fun.
