At a time when I felt hopeless, a friend told me about Lori Thomsen at Hruska Clinic. I was reluctant wondering how this could be any different from what I had already tried. My prior attempts to rid of my chronic headaches post motor vehicle accident had failed. Physical therapy, acupuncture, and recommendations from pain specialists were unsuccessful. I thought I would have to live with chronic headaches indefinitely. When I reached out to Hruska, Lori herself talked with me to listen to my concerns. She was confident she could help and suggested a consult. Meeting Lori and taking her instruction changed my life for the better! Instead of just focusing on my neck, she focused on my whole body. I had never experienced physical therapy in this way. Lori’s knowledge, skills, and ability to connect with her patients is something I have never experienced before. She goes above and beyond to put her patients’ needs first in order to help them be the best they can be. She takes extra time to make sure you understand your body, the exercises that will help you, and gives continual direction on what steps to take along your physical therapy journey. Not only does she encourage you at your appointments, but she is also available for questions after you leave. I am thrilled to say that after working with Lori, I can enjoy life headache free! To this day, several years later, I continue to reach out to Lori as physical therapy needs come up. I wholeheartedly refer family, friends, and co-workers to Lori. I would not consider going anywhere else. Thank you, Lori, and the entire Hruska team for ALL that you do to serve your patients. I am honored to be one of them.

I started suffering from hip and pelvic floor pain when I was 15. Whenever I consulted a doctor or physical therapist, I was told that it was likely my body compensating for my scoliosis. I was always told it was something I would just have to live with. I struggled for 4.5 years before it was so unbearable that a therapist ordered an MRI. It revealed a hip labral tear, and I had surgery. I followed the normal course of physical therapy treatment after the procedure. I felt so hopeful that the pain would finally stop, but I wasn’t seeing any progress despite the doctor saying it was fully healed.

Desperate, I turned to my google search bar, and I came across Lori’s name. I met with Lori over the course of a year and a half. Lori refused to give up on me, even when it seemed like I wasn’t making any progress. She continued to try new things, search for answers, and refused to let me lose hope throughout the process. 

The approach was so much different than what I had experienced with numerous physical therapists in the past. Lori didn’t just address the site of the pain. She was always assessing my strength throughout my entire body and continually giving me new exercises to continue the improvement process. Lori made changes to my shoes, addressed how to approach everyday tasks properly (sitting at a desk, standing for long periods of time, etc.) and even discovered the need for a small correction to my vision, which happened to be the final missing piece to my puzzle!

Most importantly, Lori was always a great teacher. She made sure I understood why we were doing what we were doing. She helped me become so in tune with my body. She equipped me with the knowledge and resources I needed so that eventually, I was able to identify what exercises and corrections I could make to alleviate pain on my own.

I am now 25, feel great, and am able to effectively manage and correct my discomfort on the minimal occasions it returns. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for Lori. She’s not only the best therapist, but a truly amazing person, influence, and friend. Thank you Lori and the Hruska Clinic for changing my life!

In the year of 2017 I was in a hotel room and woke up unable to get out of bed, swallow water without my neck adn arms in intolerable pain.  For the next months on end I checked into multiple physical therapists for the pain… I was blessed far beyond belief when I walked into Hruska Clinic for the first time during the hardest moments of my life.  I worked, and still continue to work, with Jason on keeping the body relaxed, stretched out, and strong.

After being correctly diagnosed a year adn ahalf later with autoimmune disease(s) plus a car wreck just a few months ago, I have seen remarkable improvements be done at this clinic.  Jason has always been an amazing physical therapist.  Not only does he know exactly what a body needs, as all bodies are not the same.  He isthere for support along the way.  I progressed so much that my pain level is now around a two instead of an eleven.  I am now in the gym and able to do my favorite dance fitness classes!!!

Since my autoimmune disease and the car accident, I have come very far in a short amount of time with many thanks to this amazing team at Hruska Clinic.

After recently having foot surgery and not being able to be on campus to work with my athletic trainer, my sister suggested I go see Dave at Hruska Clinic.  Dave was more than willing to step in and help me out.  I have had nothing but a positive and effective experience and am very grateful for his efforts.  I would highly recommend Dave to anyone!

My experience at Hruska Clinic has deeply enhanced my quality of life for many years. Having been in two motor vehicle accidents in my teens, I developed terrible posture, experienced chronic back and neck pain, and ultimately, struggled with ocular migraines that lasted for years. One day, while at work, a colleague stopped mid-sentence and asked, “are you in pain?” And I, completely unaware that it was that apparent, said, “Yes. I’m in chronic pain.” This colleague had been a patient at Hruska Clinic and referred me that day. Soon thereafter, my journey through PRI (with vision therapy) brought me to the healthiest I had ever been as an adult. I had literally no more migraines, very little if any back and neck pain, and slept better than I ever had. I WANTED to be active, and had much more energy. I was in the best shape I had been as an adult.

Fast forward a few years, and at 36-years old I was in an unfortunate martial arts accident and I had badly dislocated my knee. In less than 24 hours, I was on the phone with Hruska Clinic, knowing that absolutely no one would do a better job rehabilitating my knee. I was relieved to get into my favorite physical therapist, and right away we were on the journey to healing. Within five months of my injury, I was discharged, and not quite a year later, I am almost completely unaware that anything ever happened to that knee. I cannot say enough absolutely wonderful things about the team at Hruska Clinic. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, their revolutionary, whole-person approach to physical therapy is sought after by patients and other practitioners alike for good reason. Simply, the best.

The Hruska Clinic helped me recover from an injury and I am back to enjoying my regular activities of jogging, walking, and taking long car rides. Lori Thomsen has been a wonderful coach and mentor and help me learn how to improve my posture and gait. I have to say that I was apprehensive about some of the clinic’s techniques, but I decided to be open minded and give my best effort. The Hruska Clinic’s techniques work and I have personally experienced amazing results. As a client, you have to be committed to complete your exercises daily and communicate with your therapist how you are doing. Lori is kind and compassionate and patient. She accommodates your style of learning and helps you to master the exercises before you leave the clinic. I am so happy with the help that I have received from Hruska Clinic. I would highly recommend Lori Thomsen, if you have an active life style and you are experiencing any pain. I am back to jogging and taking long car rides and enjoying life!

The best way I can describe what Lori and Hruska Clinic did for me is that they gave me my life back. I came to them with pain, migraines, and a list of issues that to me would never get better. Over the course of less than a year, Lori gave me a solution to every single issue and best of all, my pain and migraines went away entirely. I was able to get strong enough to learn how to downhill ski and start running again. Best of all, I know I have people on my team and strategies in my pocket when I need them again in the future. Thank you, Lori and Hruska Clinic!

If you are looking for a physical therapy clinic that thinks outside of the box and get results then Hruska Clinic is the way to go! In November 2008 I was experiencing pelvic floor problems during jogging.  I was looking for a physical therapist and I had 2 people share with me their experience and great success with Hruska Clinic.  I went to Lori Thomsen and could not have been more pleased. Since then Lori has helped me with foot, hip, low back pain and neck tension.  The therapists are very knowledgeable and receive cutting education. This practice is professional yet very personal. Love this clinic. I am so thankful for the help I have received from them!

These people have saved my life. Post spinal fusion, still feeling pain and terrible, and no spine doctor or pt could tell me anything other than “you’re just gonna have to live with it”. Hruska clinic told me exactly what was happening and WHY(!!) and how to fix it and be pain free! I was very close to completely giving up on life and this clinic has saved me. I couldn’t thank and recommend them enough. If you’re in pain ANYWHERE, skip those regular physical therapist/doctor visits and come HERE! Flew from California and it has been the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. I’m not even religious but GOD BLESS

Coming to the Hruska Clinic is the best money I’ve spent on rehab.  Even though I am out of network I only have to come twice a month rather than 3 times a week like I was at my last therapist.  I’m actually saving money by coming here and more importantly I am actually getting better!

I feel like you and your clinic are the best team in town to handle physical therapy by far. Not because you have different exercises so much as you don’t have people do exercises to relieve symptoms, you have people do exercises to identify and if possible cure the problem, and if it doesn’t work you move on to another theory. That is where you separate yourself from the rest of the crowd. Your team approach and dogged pursuit of the root cause are amazing…Thank you for giving me your full attention and consideration as a patient. Thanks to your relentless search it has resulted in a major breakthrough. I’m so relieved!
