Testimonials
Alessandra V: The first word that comes to mind to describe Renato is attentive. When I injured my lower back while pregnant during the COVID lockdown, he devised safe and effective tele health sessions that brought me physical (and emotional) relief. Later, when I injured my neck, I was able to work with him in person and he resolved my issue again. After many years of working with PTs in large, chain practices it was refreshing and life changing to work with a PT who gave me his full attention. I have since referred friends and even my mother to Renato and they have all been equally impressed with his work. In addition to his expertise as a PT, Renato has a great disposition and always made me feel comfortable and taken seriously. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Marcelo A: I injured my left calf playing volleyball few weekends ago and didn't have any idea on how to treat, what to do and not to do and how long it would take until I could go back to the court. I knew Renato but don't live close enough to see him at the clinic, that's when he suggested Telehealth. Renato sent me the weekly exercises, I followed them daily and 3 weeks later I was playing again, with caution but back on the court. Renato is very knowledgeable and made himself available via email, text and video. I am feeling 100% recovered now and recommend his telehealth services if you cannot see him at his practice.
Mike E: I am very pleased with my treatment at Kinetix Physical Therapy via Renato. I'd hurt my back enough to inhibit being able to return to work, and I can say that without the help I received via zoom I would not have made the recovery in the time that I did. It was remarkable how well Renato was able to assess what my body needed to do just from observing via zoom. He was thorough in his check in, and helped advise what was my best choice of action for assessing my risk of returning to work. I would happily recommend him to anyone seeking physical therapy.
Nancy G: I’m 74 and saw my doctor for shoulder pain. He recommended Renato for physical therapy. Zoom therapy worked very well for me. It was easy to use Zoom and nice to avoid transportation. Renato was great. My appointment time was solely about me and what worked to improve functionality and reduce/eliminate pain. It worked.
Patricia K: Last February I had decompression surgery (for a severe syrinx in my spinal cord). My balance was extremely off when I walked, the range of motion in my neck was minimal to the point where I could barely turn my head, my upper and lower back were in pain, I had plantar fasciitis and was overall just in awful shape from recovery. A good friend recommended I go see Renato, even though he was about a solid 30 minutes north of where I lived.
SShe said he really took the time to work on your body as an individual unlike some places that hand you off to the next PT or assistant. I went to see Renato for about 6 months, twice a week. He literally changed my life. I was so scared after surgery that my body would never be the same and I was angry at myself for not using my strength to it's full potential before I had surgery. Renato whipped me into shape! He spent a lot of time manually working on my body - massaging/pressing on areas that were extremely tight and loosening the muscles. He pushed me each time to work harder but never made me feel uncomfortable and was respectful when I needed to rest. He also is just a great person to talk with! Spending two hours a week with a stranger who is working on your body when it's most vulnerable isn't easy but he made each appointment very enjoyable and I actually looked forward to going to see him. My body always felt amazing after and so did my mind. I still do the exercises he gave me because it truly makes my body feel better. I call him the "Miracle Worker."
Stephanie T: I started seeing Renato after a dance-related injury - and I was grateful that I was able to book an intake quickly. He was thorough and thoughtful in understanding my goals for PT and helped me safely return to dance/movement without re-injuring myself within a few weeks of starting to work together. Highly recommend working with Renato as his PT knowledge and skills are great, AND I also appreciated his curiosity and willingness to learn more about his patients (sharing how he’s tried out different ways of moving to better help the different patients who come to his practice).
Erin L: Renato is amazing to work with. He’s helped me deal with nerve damage in my fingertips by working with me to help build up other muscles and strengthen my rotator cuff. He also helped me work out ergonomics to prevent further damage with my very physical job. After a few sessions I saw a massive improvement from where I started. When I’m consistent with my exercises, my symptoms are now minimal. I highly recommend booking an appointment, Renato makes you feel heard and comfortable. He is also very organised and creates a wonderful exercise “prescription” after every visit.
Rusty W: Renato Hess is an EXCEPTIONAL physical therapist. He is dependable, excellent in his field and a truly amazing clinician. He uses a variety of modalities including manual physical therapy/massage guns coupled with exercise to ensure that his clients are receiving evidence based care that speeds up and enhances the healing process. He is adapt at treating a wide range of issues and makes the often difficult and sometimes painful process of recovery as fun and enjoyable as possible.
Shailesh I: I saw Renato a while back to deal with a rotator cuff injury. Since that was recovering well, we got to talking about my overall wellness and he put together a full 'small muscle' routine for me that I use to keep my stabilizer muscles strong as I get older. We joked about my 'not falling on the ice' muscles but this has been a core piece of my fitness regimen 6 years later.
Cindy B: Renato has helped me tremendously through several health challenges over the past decade, including sciatica, I-band tightness, post-rotator cuff surgery and pre-hip replacement surgery. He is very knowledgeable, pleasant and willing to listen to my concerns. And he is very responsive to my scheduling needs. I've worked with Renato both in his treatment room and on Zoom as necessitated during Covid. He has taught me valuable at-home exercises as well as techniques to improve my balance. I have no reservation to call on Renato when I'm in need of treatment, and would encourage you to do the same!
