Rob is AWESOME! I've worked with him on a number of things and the results have always been fantastic. He's great at identifying the issue, coming up with a plan and treatment. He also taught me exercises and other methods that I could do on my own for prevention. Also super kind, a great listener, and fun to work with. The best PT I've ever worked with, I recommend him to all of my friends looking for a PT

I wasn't able to reach them on the phone number. I tried calling during different times of the day during business hours, no one picks up or calls back. I sent them a text and email, no response.

My orthopedic recommended them, I will go elsewhere.

I am so lucky to have Rob to help me with my post recovery of ACL-reconstruction surgery. With his instruction in just 3 months, I get full range of motion and better strength on the knee and I feel like I am back to normal. His therapy is effective and he would share and explain the methodology behind his practice. He cares about your concern and likes to make the exercise fun and make you feel ease. He is definitely a good PT and would like to spend quality time with his patients.

I was so lucky to find Rob! I had been having knee & quad issues for about 8 months which I was unable to pin down the cause of. Working with Rob we were able to identify areas of tightness & he gave me specific exercises recover to full strength. I've been able to get back to running & am back to skiing with friends, I can't recommend Rob enough!

Highly recommend for active individuals looking for rehab or prehab, especially those who have injuries that keep them from running and swimming. I went to Rob consistently for about 4 months due to nagging leg injuries (knee, hip, shin, ankle) that had a significant impact on my running and cycling volume. I had visited multiple PTs for issues related to the injuries with little improvement. Rob quickly identified muscle weaknesses and imbalances, corrected my running technique, and gave me exercises I can do on my own to maintain the progress we made. With his help, I was able to increase my cycling volume back to where it was before injury and run pain free. Rob is an expert on run technique and continues to stay up to date with research. He will video tape you running and review the videos to show where there is potential for injury and how it can be improved. While he is an expert on working with runners and swimmers, I strongly believe his help allowed me to get back to normal with my cycling as well. Rob will not recommend surgery, $400 orthotics, or pain meds. He focuses on identifying what muscle imbalances or weaknesses are causing injury and correcting them. I believe this is how physical therapy should be and highly recommend anyone with similar experiences and beliefs to go visit Rob.

Rob is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I cannot recommend him more strongly. His attentiveness to detail, personalized care, affable manner, and deep expertise is a rare combination and truly makes Strive the best place for your PT. He helped me successfully navigate my PT and I will be forever thankful. Truly world-class!!!

I count my lucky stars to have been referred to Rob Abrams at Strive by my local Sports Medicine Dr. I had IT band issues. Experiencing pain and tightness during activity, and eventually in every day life. I saw a different PT several months ago. They did their best to help, but didn't diagnose the root problem.
The pain persisted and I went back to my Dr, who referred me to Strive. Rob had an initial phone call with me and diagnosed the root problem over the phone (he confirmed his diagnosis at my first appointment, he was right). Even though he was out of network for me, I knew from that first phone call that he is someone who I wanted to work with. I had about 6 appointments over 2 months.
His appts are different than other PTs I've worked with. You work with him 1:1 for the full hour and for me, the majority of the appointment was spent on different massage therapy techniques. He is patient, understanding, a good listener, and great with all of his different hands-on technique. I improved greatly after that first appointment. And now, feeling equipped with exercises and new techniques, can confidently say I don't think I'll ever have to worry about this pain again.
The office itself is very clean and well-lit. Parking was easy and free. It wasn't hard to find.
Thanks Rob for giving me back a worry-free adventure lifestyle!

I tore my acl skiing this past winter and had reconstructive surgery. My Dr. recommended Rob for pt and I am so thankful he did. Working with Rob has been incredible. If your're looking for a physical therapist who will help you get to 100% and back to the activities you love Rob is your guy. Every step of my recovery was personalized to my needs. Im back to hiking and running and I'll be hitting the slopes this winter!
