I've been a loyal VFE client for 6 years. I've been seeing Rich of VFE consistently for two years and he has been such an impressive therapist. Not just for his work and how professional and knowledgeable he is in his craft, but his experience as an athlete himself. He has really left me in awe as it took me this long to know what an expert he is in not just one sport but a few. A swimmer, triathlete volleyball player, surfer, the list goes on. Not only does he have a professional degree, but experience on the athlete body and I'm so impressed. He has gotten me ready for races and has helped me recover as well after hard training and post races. Just recently, I've experienced my biggest injury that took me out of running for almost 3 months. I sprained my ankle early in the race, twisting it twice at mile 24 during Western Stated 100 end of June. I completed the race, but finished badly with a swollen bruised foot. I was pretty swollen, not able too put weight on it for a couple of weeks and had to wear a boot. I ended up with a hematoma from the trauma of the injury. As soon as my doctor gave me the okay to see a physical therapist I asked if I could see my massage therapist instead and he approved. After only 3 sessions with Rich, he got me moving. I had flexibility and pain relief on my foot especially in the toe area while I was still dealing with tenderness on the 5th metatarsal. I started jogging right away after seeing him. I see him very often and always leave feeling great. I am so very grateful for his guidance support and to able to always fix me when I'm dealing with issues. Training for ultra marathons is hard and taking care of your body is crucial to continue to train especially with the high mileage. I recommend seeing a physical therapist consistently for great results, performance and longevity. VFE is a great place. I see regulars who are body builders, runners, triathletes. All types of athletes. Great people and all of the VFE staff is qualified which I highly respect.
