Thrive Physical Therapy and Wellness

Fantastic experience: Leigh Ann Russell was so knowledgeable and accessible as she helped me work through my PT. She offers workable routines that anyone can realistically integrate into their day. Highly recommend her and Thrive!

Fantastic experience: Thrive PT is an excellent place. Leah Prewitt has improved my health immeasurably. I am so much better after working with Leah. She is very competent and a joy to spend time with. I highly recommend Leah Prewitt and Thrive PT.

Fantastic experience: Leah Prewitt is amazing!! Seeing her has been such a gift! She is encouraging and makes helpful, realistic recommendations for strength and stretching during pregnancy. My husband and I also both feel like it’s been the most helpful thing we have done to prep for birth. She’s the best!

Fantastic experience: Leah Prewitt has been so wonderful with me through my second and third trimesters of pregnancy! Pregnancy has been so much more tolerable with the stretches and exercises she has taught me and I feel so much better prepared for labor the second time around with her tools in my tool belt.

Fantastic experience: I saw Leigh Ann Russell after my ankle surgery and was so impressed with the care I received at Thrive. She was very knowledgeable and creative in planning exercises for a speedy recovery! I felt like my care was so personalized and my goals were heard every step of the way. Thrive is a gem of a practice to the Cahaba Heights area. The team communicates well with each other and their patients. With a welcoming staff, clean facility, it always made the appointments an enjoyable experience. Would recommend Leigh Ann and Thrive to anyone needing PT!

Fantastic experience: Darby Johnson has been excellent to work with! Would highly recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: Carol is incredible! She helped so much I was able to avoid having another surgery for nerve pain. She is super knowledgeable, thorough, and also kind! I highly recommend her and thrive PT!

Fantastic experience: Darby Johnson was a godsend!!! She immediately made me feel comfortable and validated. She helped me accomplish goals that did not seem possible in the beginning of my therapy. Darby supported me physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.

Fantastic experience: I saw Darby Johnson throughout my second pregnancy and postpartum. She was wonderful! She listened to all of my questions and concerns and worked hard with me to prepare for my desired birth plan. She was knowledgeable and helped me in so many ways. I felt physically and mentally so much better this second pregnancy and postpartum, and I will always attribute that to working with Darby at Thrive!

Fantastic experience: I love Darby Johnson she is the best! She really listened to what I had to say and would try to get my problem figured out. Really easy to talk to . She made the experience comfortable and I learned a lot from her!

Fantastic experience: Thrive is wonderful! The staff is so kind & welcoming & the facility is beautiful. Carol Mastroianni is my PT & is the best!! Her expertise led to finding out the real diagnosis of what was going on with my neck - she’s a life saver!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Darby Johnson. She is very skilled and helping women like myself through pregnancy and post partum pelvic floor issues. She is also so personable and makes you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend going to Darby, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I received excellent prenatal PT with Leigh Ann Russell in preparation for the birth of my first. She particularly helped me postpartum to help me safely return to running. The only drawback is the price, but at the same time, you really do receive thorough, quality care personalized for everything you may be experiencing. Definitely worth considering if you are preparing for delivery and want a plan for recovery and return to athletics after. Leigh Ann is wonderful!

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience under Darby’s care. She helped me heal and strengthen my body postpartum. She provided a comfortable and supportive environment to meet my specific needs. I highly recommend this practice to all my friends!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an exceptional experience working with this team. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to helping clients succeed truly stand out. Communication is always smooth, and they consistently deliver high-quality work on time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and efficient support!

Fantastic experience: I truly do not know where to begin with complimenting Leigh Ann! She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to helping her patients. I looked forward to seeing her for all of my prenatal care! She is friendly and made all of my appointments enjoyable during a time of uncertainty and change. Leigh Ann made me feel prepared, confident, and empowered for birth and labor. Thanks to her, I had an incredible birthing experience and recovery! She is equally supportive and attentive in my postpartum journey and I already am dreading the day I am discharged. She is truly the best!!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. It feels like a warm hug when you walk in and you immediately feel comfortable. Leah is fantastic. She is super knowledgeable, always explains what she's doing, and doesnt make me feel stupid when I immediately forget what she just told me to do.

Fantastic experience: Love Darby Johnson so much! She was a life saver after my surgery.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Thrive more. I saw Crista for pelvic floor PT while pregnant and postpartum. Working with her made all of the difference in a positive delivery experience and speedy recovery.

Fantastic experience: I have loved going to Thrive and seeing Leigh Ann. She is so personable and knowledgable. It feels like going to see a friend… a friend that challenges you to get stronger!

Fantastic experience: The best physical therapist around!! Especially for women that are pregnant or postpartum. Leah is the best!! Care is completely individualized. She made me feel so comfortable with every area of treatment. Labor/delivery prep helped me so much with my first natural delivery. I also got amazing care in 2022 after a csection. The front desk staff is awesome too and so easy to work with to schedule and to work with insurance. Shout out to Shay! Seriously love this place so much and it is definitely bittersweet to be "graduating" for now!

Fantastic experience: Working with Leigh Ann was an absolute blessing. After hearing about my friends facing pain and incontinence after giving birth, I knew I wanted to be proactive and get pelvic floor therapy after having my son. Leigh Ann not only helped me get back to normal but helped me adjust to my new life as a mom. She truly cared about my wellbeing and made sure I was taken care of. I always looked forward to my appointments because every aspect at Thrive, from Shay being so kind and helpful at the front desk, to seeing each therapist interact with their patients, was welcoming and empowering. I was honestly sad to "graduate" from my therapy; however, I know who to call if I ever need physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Thrive for pregnancy and postpartum. I saw Darby Johnson during both of my pregnancies and I cannot recommend her enough. Darby is extremely knowledgeable and has walked me through each journey from using techniques to get baby in the proper position to helping teach my husband and I birthing positions to walking me through postpartum exercises. Shes the best <3

Fantastic experience: *long review ahead* Emily at Thrive Physical Therapy goes above and beyond to say the minimum. After my first child’s birth I was told I wouldn’t walk for 6-8 months or maybe never again (without assistance.) Thankfully Emily was there to help me through my pelvic separation and get me walking again. 2 years later - pregnant again & I started physical therapy as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Emily helped me with exercises throughout the pregnancy to maintain my pelvic issues. Closer to birth Emily showed me different birthing positions / things to do in the hospital that helped make my delivery much more bearable. I pushed twice with my second girly and there she came! No issues. No pain. No trouble walking. All thanks to Emily. She listens. She cares (truly.) She gets to know you and what your body needs. I would have never been able to make it through this second pregnancy / birth without her by my side. If you are needing PT - I can’t recommend her enough. She is amazing. A huge thank you to her and her wonderful staff for caring for me and my family the past two years!

Fantastic experience: The only place I’ll ever go for physical therapy. Leigh Ann is a genius and has helped my body heal more than I ever thought possible, using compassionate language and instruction that I can actually understand and execute at home. So grateful.

Fantastic experience: Before I gave birth I wanted a game plan to help prevent coning and any other not so fun things that come with having a baby. Darby went above and beyond to help make sure I met all of my physical goals before and after giving birth! She also never once complained about my little joining my appointments and even assisted in keeping her happy. Highly recommend using Darby at Thrive Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for Darby Johnson at the Cahaba Heights location. I've been to PTs before, but could never find an answer to or relief for my back pain until going to Darby during my pregnancy. She also empowered me and my husband to be prepared for birth along with gaining back strength postpartum. Really grateful for her knowledge and care!

Fantastic experience: Darby Johnson at Thrive has been so helpful to keep me healthy! She’s professional and is up to date on the latest advancements for various “injuries.” She is caring and truly wants to see her patients be successful in taking care of themselves!

Fantastic experience: Very pleased with Darby Johnson and the entire Thrive Team! They worked to get me in next day after I hurt my lower back. After just a handful of sessions I was able to get back to strenuous physical activity.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Thrive on and off for years. The whole practice is a class act. I’ve seen Rachel years ago and Darby currently. They are super knowledgeable and have helped me get out of my pain flares! Shay at the front desk is such an asset to the team too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Darby Johnson is the best of the BEST! I would not have bounced back post-partum (twice) without her!!!!

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about the service and team at Thrive! Best thing I did for myself after two babies. Leigh Ann has helped me in so many ways! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This office was amazing to work with! I had the privilege of working with Leigh Ann and absolutely loved it! She helped me make huge strides and I am extremely grateful for her. I love how much she cares about her patients and puts a lot of effort into what she does. She is very knowledgeable and skilled. I would definitely recommend this office to others with PT needs!

Fantastic experience: I recommend Thrive to every pregnant and postpartum woman I know! Louise has been so incredible. She helped guide me through my entire pregnancy and now through postpartum. I attribute my lack of discomfort during birth and ability to heal afterwards to her. She is so kind and eager to help. She is knowledgeable while also relatable. She was able to give me resources that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I’m so happy to have found thrive and want everyone to have the same experience.

Fantastic experience: Shay at the front desk is amazing. She was not only friendly when arrived for each appointment, but she also made scheduling easy by texting back and forth to schedule future appointments. Darby is a wonderful physical therapist. Cared about my health and improving my quality of life. She evaluated my issues, developed a solid treatment plan, adjusted the treatment plan as needed, and taught me how to stay strong and healthy going forward. Specifically, she taught me so much about muscles and the overall importance of core strength. The one-on-one care was imperative to my success, but is not common place at most physical therapy clinics. Darby provided exceptional care and genuine concern for my well-being. Each session, Darby Hutchison encouraged me video record (using my phone) the exercises I needed to do as homework, so that I could do them consistently at home. It was so helpful to rewatch the videos as I did the exercises at home so that knew that I was doing correctly performing the exercise at home throughout the week. Thrive was not the closest physical therapy option for me, but I gladly drove approximately 2 hours round trip for treatment with Thrive. My only regret is not seeking physical therapy with Darby earlier.

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with urinary incontinence since I gave birth in 2017. I had a hysterectomy due to uterine prolapse but my pelvic floor never recovered. 3-4 months ago my gym partner Shay told me to check out Thrive PT due to my insecurities in the gym. She hooked me up with an apt with Leah and I have never more grateful. I’m noticing a big difference with just 4-5 visits. I’m not a self conscious person but I have never felt uncomfortable at Thrive and I look forward to my appointments. Not to mention the clean environment and friendly staff :)

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend more!! Darby Hutchison and the whole team were wonderful. Easy to get ahold of, wonderful with scheduling, and let me bring my 4 month old along which was incredibly helpful-I probably would not have been able to receive therapy without that flexibility! Darby was incredibly kind and welcoming, encouraging a newly postpartum and first time mom that things would get better! She validated the pain and discomfort I was feeling and championed me during the whole process. Shay at the front desk held my little one and made me feel so comfortable, even when we showed up with a dirty diaper and needed emergency clothes changes! Couldn’t be more grateful or recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: Pelvic floor PT made all the difference in late pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum. Louise was a great coach and resource and she is very personable and invested. We will be back for all future pregnancies!

Fantastic experience: Crista Hargett, PT and the entire team at Thrive are amazing. They are professional, encouraging and completely dedicated to their clients health and well-being. Setting realistic goals and working towards obtaining an overall healthier body and state-of-mind is their top priority. I have overcome obstacles I thought were unobtainable and learned so much from their expertise. I can’t say enough Thrive. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore has literally helped my body from head to toe! She is so passionate about & dedicated to women's pre & post partum health care. I saw her for pelvic floor therapy & was worried it wouldn't be much help since my youngest child is 6 years old. But, she taught me breathing & muscle strengthening techniques that have completely transformed my pelvic floor/diastasis recti #nomoreleaks. Her dry needling techniques have also provided much needed neck pain relief. Rachel Moran and Crista Hargett are also fantastic. 100% recommend Thrive PT!

Fantastic experience: Ann Bradford provides the best care! I saw her regularly throughout my pregnancy and will be returning for postpartum care soon. I can not say enough good things about my experience. Ann made sure my concerns were addressed and provided individualized care specific to my previous labor complications. She provided such meaningful care during my complicated pregnancy. I originally saw her at TherapySouth at the start of my pregnancy and happily moved along with her to Thrive. I would 100% make the choice to follow her again. Thank you for all you do, Ann!

Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin?! I’ve started and deleted this review so many times because words in a review just do not seem to be enough to convey how wonderful Emily is. I’ve had issues with my pelvic floor even before birth and I didn’t even know it. I thought pain was just normal, but after pregnancy and a c section it just became unbearable. Y’all Emily is more than a physical therapist…she will change your life. While she is helping you physically, she truly helps you mentally. I have never met anyone more real, uplifting and positive in both my personal life and medical career. The knowledge she has about the female body far surpasses the knowledge of my own obgyn. She has helped so much with my overly tight pelvic floor that I plan to use her when I decide to have another child so I can have the highest chance of a vbac. I cannot thank Emily enough and thanks to her I’ve become a huge advocate for pelvic floor therapy.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough wonderful things about this practice and about Rachel Moran's ability to ask questions, understand my situation, develop a treatment plan and teach me how to stay strong going forward. There is just so much we women didn't learn about our bodies because our moms and grandmothers didn't learn, either. But you can learn now! Regardless of your age, life stage or underlying issues, you will emerge stronger and empowered after working with the Thrive PT team. It has been life-changing for me!

Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy experience I have had! Best thing I did for myself post partum!

Fantastic experience: Crista is the best ! Knowledgeable & listens to you ! Great at explaining and truly wants you to feel better !

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore and her team and top notch! The individual time combined with her expertise are a winning combination. Shay at the reception desk offers fantastic customer service! Thank you to everyone at Thrive!

Fantastic experience: Here are 5 reasons Thrive Physical Therapy has so many 5 star reviews. 1. They truly care about your health and well-being. Give them 6 months and I promise you will feel better (and I only did 50% of the exercises at home- sorry Rachel!) 2. They spend an hour one-on-one with you! When is the last time you had the full attention of a doctor for an hour?! 3. I have never waited to be seen more than 5 minutes and that 5 minutes was probably because I was early. They value you and your time. 4. They work with you were you are. There is no guilt about missing doing exercises or going backwards on your wellness journey (because of your poor choices). And they can help you with so much more than just your pelvic floor. If something hurts, ask them about it! 5. And last but not least...Rachel is awesome! She is an amazing PT and an even better human. Can you tell they gave me my life back after 10 years of pain and 5 surgeries?!

Fantastic experience: Scheduling and communication was super easy. Darby was amazing! She helped me so much with postpartum recovery and was great to work with.

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience with Emily and her team at Thrive. They literally saved me from surgery. It was an incredible turnaround and now I feel stronger than I have ever been. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Crista Hargett was absolutely amazing to work with. All of my postpartum problems were solved within a few visits. I wish that I had gone sooner during pregnancy!

Fantastic experience: I saw Rachel Moran at Thrive for labor prep and postpartum care. Rachel prepared me so well for my first labor experience and I went in calm and empowered to deliver my son. Postpartum she was able to help me readjust and strengthen my body. Who knew you didn’t have to pee on yourself post labor?!!? Don’t settle ladies, go take care of yourself! I HIGHLY recommend Rachel Moran and Thrive PT. Seeing her was the kindest thing I did for myself pre and post pregnancy. She also made it fun and was both knowledgeable and personable. (See pic below Rachel made me take to remember my options during labor so I didn’t forget). Thrive truly values and empowers women. So grateful for this resource!

Fantastic experience: Thrive PT and wellness is the best! I have been working with Crista Hargett, PT who is very knowledgeable and thorough. I have made significant progress working with her. The facility is great and offers a comfortable environment. They are concerned with your overall wellness and healing!

Fantastic experience: Incredible pain relief! Super people! Super clean! I have searched for relief for years! Emily has helped me a ton! Can't say enough good things about this group!

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore literally saved my life - I was in a rabbit hole of chronic pain that no physician wanted to investigate - each physician sent me to another saying "there is nothing there we can see"... once we knew what it was, Emily helped me connect with various physicians (because I needed many) to work on each fragment of the issue for a combined holistic approach. She saved my life – mentally and physically. Emily found the cause of my pain just when I really thought there was no answer. Being able to move again with less pain and KNOWING what the pain was from! Or when I don’t do the proper self-care – I know why I hurt. She is miraculous! Emily Gilmore is THE BEST in the South (maybe the world) and I promise you, you will say it too! And so will your physician! She also has become a good friend. Hard to walk down a road for a year and not really admire, respect, and love the person that is willing to dig in deep and help when no one else would.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel and Thrive PT. I had given up on being able to sleep well and feel normal again, so physical therapy was my last ditch effort to see if it would help. Rachel helped me tremendously in getting back to a healthy space, all while being one of the kindest people who genuinely cares about your well- being. If you need PT, go see them!

Fantastic experience: Thrive is the most welcoming physical therapy group I’ve experienced! I felt comfortable talking about all my pelvic floor issues - even had several laughs. They were able to pinpoint my issues so I could start my journey of recovery in good, knowledgeable hands!

Fantastic experience: Emily is by far the best physical therapist I’ve ever had. She knew exactly what my problem was when no one else did. I highly recommend her to anyone with pelvic pain.

Fantastic experience: Thrive PT is the best in the business!! Prior to seeing them, I had mixed results with PT and was frustrated by my recovery results. Gave Thrive a shot off of a referral by a friend and it was the best thing for my recovery. Emily and company are extremely knowledgeable and the 1:1 PT experience is the way to go!! They’ve helped me on several occasions which has allowed me to get back to 100%! Thank you Thrive!

Fantastic experience: Emily has been an immense help on my healing journey from TMJ. Emily is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and caring. Emily's guidance and treatment plans are always just what I need, from our in-office sessions to prescribed home exercises to recommendations for continued training.

Fantastic experience: I have told my doctor repeatedly that she needs to send EVERY pregnant woman to this clinic. I am not exaggerating when i say that Thrive PT and Rachel changed my life. I would end the day hardly able to walk because a combination of pre-existing issues and pregnancy. I had just accepted that pregnancy would be extremely painful for me and that was that. But for the first time in 2 years (two babies back to back), that wasn't true! My pain reduced SIGNIFICANTLY after seeing Rachel each week, and she gave me the tools to maintain that progress. Flash forward to now, 5 months post partum and I have healed SO much more quickly than I did with my first thanks to their help. The ladies at Thrive have made me feel so comfortable and confident, I don't want to stop going! I truly cannot recommend them enough. Mamas: go see Emily, Rachel and the other pelvic floor and pre/post partum specialists at Thrive. It will change your life.

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore, DPT gave me a new lease on life. Having chronic back pain after having children and needing to sit every 5 minutes, sometimes spending days in bed because the pain was so great was not the life I wanted for myself or for my kids. Emily is kind, respectful, and my favorite quality about her, PASSIONATE. She wants to see women have their best life in every meaning of the phrase. Thrive Physical Therapy felt as safe as coming home. The staff feels like we’ve been best friends for years, the facility is pristine and the healing is powerful.

Fantastic experience: Emily is the best and her knowledge of all thing PT is above and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore is great!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Emily after major back surgery. Emily is smart, energetic and kind. I’ve been to a lot of PT in my life and she is the best! I’m so glad I found her and am getting better every day.

Fantastic experience: I’ve used Emily since 2014. My ortho sent me to Emily immediately after my X-ray. Luckily he did. She started with PT and dry needling. I immediately felt like a reset button had been pushed on my body. Emily has taught me several ways to improve my core, make me stronger and physically able to do things i could not before. I have worked with Emily on a regular basis and a wellness level for years. Because of Emily I feel better overall and high recommend Emily for all PT needs.

Fantastic experience: This is the best physical therapist I have ever been to! Emily is knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with. I can’t recommend Thrive enough!

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore is hands down THE BEST physical therapist! She genuinely cares about each of her patients, makes you feel at ease, doesn’t rush your appointment, and does everything she can to get you better quicker. I’ve been to several physical therapists through out the years and I’ve never felt better! I’m so glad I found Thrive Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore is extremely knowledgeable about women’s pre and postnatal physiological issues. She is fantastic and has a wonderful business.

Fantastic experience: Emily is a necessity for any women expecting a baby or recovering from birth! Emily taught me how to push during delivery, and I ended up having to push for less than 30 minutes and only endured a minor tear. After birth, she has helped me ease back into exercise, learn how to engage in sex pain-free, and learn more about how to fully recover. A few years back I also saw her for some shoulder issues, so she truly does it all!!

Fantastic experience: Emily is very intelligent and also has great bedside manner. She is kind hearted and wants to see her patients succeed as quickly as possible. I wouldn’t use any other therapist!

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Emily a few years ago due to chronic back pain and headaches. I tried many other things before seeing her—chiropractor, muscle relaxers, massage, etc. Emily was the first person to figure out what was really going on and help me treat the issues. I went from having headaches and back pain every day, to only a couple times a week (and much milder). I’ve seen a few other PTs for dry needling and they were great, but Emily has the magic touch. I still see Emily once a month for dry needling to keep muscle tension at bay. Adding to all of that, she is a wonderful person who I now call a friend! I’ve recommended her to several friends who have all sang her praises, as well. You won’t go wrong with Emily and Thrive!

Fantastic experience: Thrive Physical Therapy is the place to go for all of your PT needs. Personally, I have been a patient of Emily for 3 + years and am amazed by her talent. She introduced me to dry needling and knows exactly where to place the needles for almost immediate relief. Her knowledge, skill and determination to help her patients recover, build and strengthen their body for success in life is her number one goal and it is very evident in every appointment. The name of her practice is absolutely brilliant, just as she is - she will make you THRIVE!!

Fantastic experience: Emily is the best!! She has been a gamechanger for pain relief and gaining strength.

Fantastic experience: Rachel Moran is truly such a knowledgeable and caring physical therapist. She provided me with so much good information from stretching techniques to breathing strategies that assisted me in prepping for labor. I was a former dancer and am lacking strength in certain areas, but she made me feel stronger and more confident going into delivery. Her passion for women's health is so evident through her work. I know if you work with Rachel you will begin your time by viewing her as a physical therapist; however, you will end your time by seeing her not only as your PT but also as a dear friend. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Rachel Moran talks you through everything so you feel comfortable and confident in the care you’re receiving! I had a wonderful experience!

Fantastic experience: Thrive was instrumental in my prenatal and postpartum experience and recovery. I received excellent one on one care. The combination of dry needling, pelvic floor therapy and exercise helped me return to my fitness goals. I would and do recommend them to women in every phase of motherhood.

Fantastic experience: I have been to many therapist and never had the results as I have had with Thrive. I love the one on one that I get from Thrive. Emily Gilmore has helped me get back to enjoying life again after back surgery. Her techniques and positive attitude are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore is by far the best healthcare professional I have ever been a patient of. She not only helped me with my neck and back pain but also took an interest in other physical issues I was dealing with and referred me to sources to get to the bottom of everything! She is very personable and a great listener!

Fantastic experience: Rachel Moran is a one of a kind and a huge asset to Thrive. I had the pleasure of being one of her patients starting midway through pregnancy all the way to postpartum and I cannot stress enough how much I benefited from her expertise. Rachel is so incredibly relational and is able to make her patients feel comfortable and validated. Her hands-on approach, cheery disposition, way of asking about all aspects of my recovery, thorough attention to detail and her way of making physical therapy fun made my weekly appointments something I looked forward to. While I was pregnant, she was able to help me manage pain and stiffness in pelvis, hips and back, showed me ways to prepare my body for childbirth and kept me aligned while my hormones kept making things pop out of place. Post baby she helped me heal, strengthen, improve and gradually got me back into being physically active. When I met her she was a stranger and now she is a friend. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore has such a thorough knowledge of the body, and how multiple areas can impact one another, that she is able to make meaningful connections that other physical therapists may not make. Because of this, she is able to help reduce recovery time, and achieve a better overall outcome. The combination of manual therapy and dry needling have helped me improve, gain, and maintain mobility in multiple areas of my body (I have received therapy for issues ranging from shoulder surgery to pelvic floor issues). I cannot recommend Emily enough. Her gift truly has made my life better.

Fantastic experience: Thrive Physical Therapy is where you need to go!! Rachel is amazing. Post hip replacement surgery I went to a different PT Firm (a chain). After a couple of weeks of being handed off to three different therapists and never really being examined, Thrive was recommended to me by a Pilates instructor. OMG! The first day Rachel diagnosed my issue and by the end of the first 1 hour session I was dramatically better! JUST TRY THRIVE!! One appointment and you will not want to go anywhere else. Do yourself a favor! Go to Thrive!!!!

Fantastic experience: When I had my son in March it was a planned c-section birth. While I was prepared leading up to the operation, I was not prepared for the recovery process afterwards. I was not given any guidance besides rest and pain medication. I heard that Dr. Gilmore was an advocate for physical therapy after a c-section and I reached out. If it wasn’t for Emily, I would have NEVER known to do half of the things I needed to do to help heal my body, mobilize my scar, and overall feel like a human again so I could be the best mother to my son. She is so knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly professional. I recommend Dr. Gilmore to everyone now!

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore of Thrive Physical Therapy the the BEST! So professional and caring. She helped me with diastasis recti & pelvic floor rehab after my third c-section. I’m so thankful I saw her for post-partum rehabilitation. I recommend her to all of my friends! You can truly tell she has a passion for women’s health.

Fantastic experience: During my pregnancy, I dealt with a pelvic condition called Symphysis Pelvis Dysfunction and had been frustrated with my medical care regarding this painful condition. Rachel Moran gave me not only relief during my visits, but also the tools needed to have therapeutic relief at home as well. Her holistic approach to prenatal care was so impressive to me! She also did some excellent birth prep with me as I drew near to my delivery date! I looked forward to every appointment with Rachel, and I look forward to doing postpartum therapy with her soon!

Fantastic experience: Rachel is amazing! I saw her for postpartum pain and after a few weeks of working with her I am now pain free! She is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable by explaining everything very thoroughly. She is such a sweet person and I always looked forward to my appointments! I definitely recommend Thrive!

Fantastic experience: I've seen significant improvement after just a few PT sessions with Rachel Moran. She really knows how to target and treat the "problem area" and does so with such a wonderful combination of professionalism and friendly interaction. She's truly a gifted Physical Therapist!

Fantastic experience: Emily is amazing! She is passionate about helping her patients achieve their goals and provides the best one-on-one care around! She truly desires for her patients to thrive in all areas of life and health! This makes her clinic a step above all the rest!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gilmore was instrumental in helping me with my postpartum healing. After being told by another physician that my pain was normal and that I would just have to get surgery whenever I was done having babies, I was very disheartened. Enter Dr. Gilmore! Through an exercise program and her hands on care, she was able to help me be completely pain-free after only a week. I am forever grateful for her professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to truly listen to her patients.

Fantastic experience: Emily is so knowledgeable and helpful. She is always upbeat, friendly, and fun to be around! She has really been helping me get control of my chronic issues and has even diagnosed things that my doctor missed. I can’t say enough good things about her!

Fantastic experience: Emily is simply the best. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive. You are in great hands with your recovery when you use Emily as your PT! I cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Emily Gilmore is truly the best. I cannot begin to express how helpful she has been to me throughout the years. I originally went to her for thoracic outlet syndrome, and she was the first person I saw who I felt like knew what they were talking about and could help me. She was also a great asset during pregnancy and especially during postpartum. She is incredibly knowledgeable, brings great energy to the room, and is passionate about what she does.
