In need of body work, personal training, massage or the most amazing chiropractics? So, I have been through the mill in search of a good hands-on body work specialist and Dr. John Beale came to my rescue. He and the Rise Bodyworks staff are the best in the business. One of the major benefits is that Dr. Beale is hands on and he is involved in every aspect of the biz and in your improvement and recovery. I would not be as healthy as I am today if it were not for him and staff. Most of all, he is… Read more “Noel H.”

I am happy to report whatever he did to me has me 100% healed! — I was referred to work with Dr. John Beall by my dear friend Gabi Cascio after exhausting all other possibilities in search of healing a scary AF pinched nerve situation that was not only causing my thumb to go numb, but also creating excruciating pain like I have NEVER FELT BEFORE… John estimated it would take about 4 sessions to ‘fix me’, and BAMMM was HE ON THE MONEY!!! — ‘Confident, funny, grounded, knowledgeable, & skilled healer’ are just a few words that come to… Read more “M B.”

I’ve had six sessions so far with John Beale and already I am feeling noticeable improvements. A twisted ankle led to whole-leg stress that was preventing me from running. After these sessions I am back at about 90% and had a pain-free run this week. I’m stoked! Rise has a great vibe and John is a fantastic physical therapist, super in tune to the body and not one to spare his clients the necessary intensive treatment to get to true healing. Thank you, John!

I have been going to Rise for a few years. Have loved the ART by Dr John and really enjoyed my pilates personal training. Have been taking pilates reformer for a few years as well and it has been steady and fine as well. Today I took my first pilates class with Nika and it was AWESOME!!! I can’t wait for my next Pilates class on Friday with her. She worked every muscle in my body with humor and attentiveness. Really, really top notch instructor.
