MOVE Athletics in West Springfield

I had no idea what to expect when I arrived at MOVE Athletics. They have, however, exceeded my hopes that I could find relief from intermittent back pain. Doc Rog is the real deal-- professional, skilled, well trained (and stays current), thoughtful and patient. The assessment is thorough; the exercise program is tailored to your needs; the weekly sessions provide time to ask questions, address concerns and move forward. In the course of a few short weeks, I am feeling much better, have regained my confidence and look forward to many more years of being athletic! I can't thank you enough!

I had to stop working out due to persistent back and neck pain. My regular doctors just threw muscle relaxers at me, which never really solved the problem. Then I found Move Athletics, and I'm so glad I did! They did an amazing job of helping me understand the root cause of my issues, and most of my pain went away within just two weeks with some targeted exercises. Dr. Rog is very knowledgeable and isn't afraid to share his expertise, so I learned a lot about how to prevent these issues from reoccurring. Highly recommend Move Athletics for anyone struggling with pain!

I just finished my 4th month of treatment with Doc Roger and honestly I could not be happier with the results. When I came in I had knee pain I didn't understand, and because of that I lost almost all motivation to be active or even workout. I was to the point where a single body weight squat would put me off balance and make me feel achy. Roger helped me understand the pain and discomfort I was feeling was rooting primarily from issues with my back, which he was able to help me to fix. I even had days where I had random shoulder pain from pickleball, and on the spot the day of my appointment he adjusted the plans and was able to show me variations of stretches and exercises that put an end to that pain permanently after just a few weeks. I now am back to working out consistently and primarily pain free, and I couldn't be more thankful. Roger is caring, funny, and unbelievably knowledgeable of just about anything regarding the human body. If you're living day to day with pain or discomfort, please give his treatment a try and I promise you won't regret it. Thank you!

Words cannot express my gratitude for Roger!! After months of self diagnosis and road blocks from traditional health system pathways, I decided to give Roger a call. He quickly diagnosed the origins of my foot pain. The correction plan was complex but he broke down the plan in manageable parts that incorporated both my sports related functions and my daily activities. He left no stone unturned and was relentless in helping me achieve a pain free existence while being supportive and encouraging but also holding me accountable for putting the necessary work in between sessions. At 55 years old I have a new found excitement about being able to continue to cycle, run, swim and weight train now that I have a lifelong plan to listen to and recover my body effectively.

Easily the best medical experience that I have had. I came with shoulder pain and suspected that it was a rotator cuff injury that I had been told it was in the past. Doc Rog took his time and thoroughly tested me to figure out that it was something actually different and that I didn't have rotator cuff injury at all. He then built an easy to follow plan that has showed fantastic results for me. I am now not only pain free, but have strengthened my shoulder and now feel confident doing everyday movements as well as heavy weightlifting with it. 10/10 experience from the start, well worth the money to invest in your current and future health with MOVE Athletics.

MOVE has become my saving grace. I started having back pain at 15 and I was misdiagnosed from here to Boston. I had arthritis, scoliosis, and shrunken discs. Nobody knew. I had scans, physical therapy, and injections and nothing did the trick. Back in January, I injured it again and the spine specialist told me I would live with this pain at 25 and talk to him if the pain got worse, there was nothing he could do. I was tired of hearing those answers. I came across Dr. Roger from my old coach that he was currently treating. She had nothing but good things to say. I figured nothing could hurt at this point. Doc Roge told me exactly where my problem areas were that included more than just my back. I was completely pain-free 5 weeks after walking in his door. I have made reasonable modifications to make life better and now I don't feel broken. I feel like a work in progress with much improvement and a great plan moving forward. If it wasn't for Dr. Roger I do not know where I would be!!

Move Athletics is a standout physical therapy practice. I signed up with Dr. Roger following my total knee replacement and I would highly recommend using Move for any and all physiotherapy and strength training needs. Roger has a holistic, innovative and intelligent approach to healing that is highly personal, caring and attentive. I especially liked how he facilitated my accountability outside of our sessions with exercise programs including video demonstrations. and explanations. Roger is very open and approachable and I feel very comfortable asking questions. He takes the time to listen and give feedback to help with my success. This is the way PT should be!

Three months ago I decided to try Move Athletics. This was after going to physical therapy elsewhere, seeing an orthopedist and getting cortisone shots for my knee. Roger at Move took the time to listen to everything I tried and the pain I was experiencing. Unlike other physical therapists, Roger was able to address issues in different areas of my body and assign exercises to improve them all. Not only that but diagnose the real issue which was not my knee. Three months ago I couldn’t do a squat or a split squat without pain. I am now able to do them both and go back to training at the gym. Thanks Roger!
