Levis O.
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… Read more “Levis O.”
Antony B.
Rise, a long overdue 6 month review. I was introduce to Rise through John Beal’s chiropractic practice. An ergonomist at work recommended John as the go to chiropractor to fix a plantar fasciitis I’d been lugging for a year. In 3 months Dr Beal fixed it! Yes people, plantar fasciitis can be fixed, and John Beal is your man! Dr John then suggested a bit of physical therapy to strengthen and build some muscle where they were needed. That’s where he handed me over to Derek. Yeah, the great thing about Rise, it’s all in one place, and it’s downtown,… Read more “Antony B.”
Ronan and Jessica K.
Fantastic service, amazing results. I’ve been to quite a few chiropractors over the years, and have always been relatively happy. However, Dr. Beall sets a new bar for treatment. Firm and direct, nothing lasts as long as his adjustments and I’m pain free, energetic, and active. After a nasty car accident, John expedited schedules to get me seen immediately, helped adjust me, and then selflessly coached me through how the injury process works and what to watch out for. I always feel like I’m visiting a friend when I go to Rise.… Read more “Ronan and Jessica K.”

Don’t go here unless you want to feel your best and want help reaching your personal fitness goals…seriously. I limped into John Beall’s office a year ago,having no idea how I hurt my knee. I needed to be on my feet for 3 weeks walking through Europe in 4 days ( thanks to Yelp-I found RISE! ) John fixed my knee and I was running 2 days later! I am active but was constantly stopping my training due to injuries. I returned to RISE after my trip and worked with John on my latent injuries for several months (not everything… Read more “Lynn R.”
