    Several years ago, I was in horrible back pain. After several months and trying numerous modalities for pain relief, I was referred to Rick Williamson at the Fitness Institute for pilates rehab as a last resort before surgery. He asked me to be patient and keep coming, but he was convinced that he could eliminate my back pain without surgery. He did just that! He truly is a miracle worker! He is very professional and has a great studio. Pilates rehab is ideal for back pain, but he also works on all areas of the body with athletes, dentists, etc. If you are in any type of pain, I would highly recommend seeing Rick Williamson.

    My daughter Emily is a ballet dancer and has benefited greatly by working with Pat Onifer. She has helped her with strength and flexibility. She has also helped her through injuries and the healing results from the cold laser are incredible. Any serious dancer should visit Pat to help with technique or rehabilitation.

    Rick not only helped me prolong a spinal fusion, he diagnosed me with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. And he was RIGHT!! His insight is amazing.

    I met with the owner of the Fitness Institute & instantly felt at ease with him. Rick took a lot of time to review my history with me. He thoroughly examined me and walked me through everything that was going on. He was very knowledgeable & even told me why my joints hurt all of the time. I have another appointment coming up and I am looking forward to it very much. I feel like I am in good hands and that the pain I am in will soon be gone with Rick's assistance.

    The staff that I met were very warm and personable and I look forward to seeing them again.

    The owner Rick is awesome.
    Pilates Rehabilitation is my last chance before some kind of surgery has to be done on my leg. Rick works one on one with me to ensure that I will not have to have any surgery. He is polite, caring, energetic, professional, and personable. His wife also works there (Julie) and she is great too. They know what they are doing and they stay in contact with my doctor every step of the way.

    Definitely recommend this for anyone who needs help and wants to get fit.
