“Already I feel stronger, walk better, have better stability and strength.”
After I broke my foot last year, I decided to pursue how I could improve my overall bone health, balance, and gait. To achieve my goals, I knew I needed the help of a professional. I found Matt and Sandy Rieder to help me. Working with Matt and Sandy has been a phenomenal experience. Already I feel stronger, walk better, have better stability and strength.
As a RN I know the devastating effects of falls, bone fractures, and loss of bone and muscle mass that come with decreased mobility, I see it first-hand in my nursing practice. I do not want to be the person who sits on the couch and deteriorates as I age. Matt has taught me mobility techniques and exercises to meet my specific goals. Sandy has helped to keep me motivated. If you want to improve your overall health and mobility, I highly recommend Renew Strength and Wellness

“It has been great working with Matt and Sandy! They really take the time to figure out what is wrong, not just refer you to a list associated with your general injury and send you off!”

“I FEEL my walking is easier and my pain is way less and infrequent.”
I have a half-knee replacement (“uni-compartmental knee replacement”) from 2009 which I did not rehab properly, and it was in a permanent bent position. To me it felt normal until taking dancing lessons, being instructed to “straighten that left leg when you step back”, me saying, “I AM!” but wasn’t…Surprise surprise. At this point this expired joint replacement has bone spurs and a bakers cyst which presents pain. I heard Renew’s pitch, and how Matthew specializes in whole body, like analyzing my walking gait (I knew it was screwed up), which also causes domino effects of the hip having to compensate and down the line, etc., etc.. I’m so glad I went to their presentation and signed up. I am amazed how little it takes to achieve results. Matthew has a holistic approach and beyond creative exercises to target what is needed.
The first meeting together, he asks all the right questions as to where you want to end up. I think their Everfit app is really excellent, with video of him explaining and demonstrating in perfect detail how to perform these exercises at home. I liked the idea of not having to race to weekly appointments, and that I could do these exercises at home, vs someone pointing to a corner saying, “Go to leg lifts over there 20 times”. I had been told by another physical therapy place “oh, that knee is permanently bent, nothing to do about that.” Not so. Here I have straightened it by measurement proof to almost perfection. I FEEL my walking is easier. I FEEL the easier and quicker movement on the pickleball court, and my boyfriend has commented on that without being prompted. I will have to replace this knee at some point, but my other goal of extending that timeframe has been met also! My pain is way less and infrequent, I attribute that valued fact to my therapy for sure. Matt & Sandy are a great team as is mentioned on another reviews. Sandy is so pleasant, smart, and easy to interact with. Renew is worth the money to complete your goals.

“It has been a wonderful experience working with Matt and Sandy! Matt is always very patient with me. He listens to and concerns I might have and is always moving forward with my program. Highly recommend checking them out.”

“Truly, the best experience and well worth the investment.”
Renew is the place to get well! Sandy and Matt are such a pleasure to work with. Matt is an amazing physical therapist! I’ve gone to many physical therapists over the years and Matt provided the most unique, personalized experience I’ve ever encountered. He spent hours fine-tuning special, thought out movements for my particular situation – plantar fasciitis and tendinitis in my right foot/ankle. I also love that Matt is committed to constantly learning and educating himself. So much so that he signed up for a course on feet while I was his patient in order to learn more about how to help me!

“I am currently doing physical therapy with Matt and Sandy. They are really into getting to the root of the problem and focusing on getting those areas of the body in top working order. The show of care and support helps you put trust in them quickly. I have shown great improvement in my lower back and neck areas. The positive messages are very helpful as well. Thank you Matt and Sandy!”

“I am back doing the things I love and feeling stronger than ever.”
Matt and Sandy are a powerful duo and I am so grateful for the healing and support I’ve found through my time at Renew Strength and Wellness. Their powerful approach towards healing made me feel confident and ready to get my life back. Their structured program allowed me to stay focused and aligned during my 3 months of PT. They care for the human as a whole and don’t solely focus on the injury at hand.
I am back doing the things I love and feeling stronger than ever because of Matt and Sandy. I highly recommended them for anyone who feels discouraged, lost, or in need of change when it comes to their health and wellness. I felt listened-to when talking about my long term pain. The encouragement and support I received throughout the entire process left a lasting impact. They truly care and push their clients to be their strongest and healthiest selves. Couldn’t say enough positive things about my experience with Matt and Sandy!

“Matt has been a great help! He was able to pinpoint a lower back issue and provide just the right exercises for a speedy recovery and return to full motion. He then provided even more strength training options to increase my mobility and confidence in movement.”
– Donald Jones
“This work Matt has done and assigned me to do has been a game changer.”
Matt has helped me now for 3 months so far and chased down so many issues that I’ve been having problems with. My hip, my SI joints have been bothering me due to an old injury and for years my back hasn’t moved correctly. This work Matt has done and assigned me to do has been a game changer. Thank you so much. I highly recommend him. His wife has stayed in touch with me and been there if I’ve needed anything as well. Nice family and committed to your success!
– Elizabeth Potter
“Very happy with my entire experience. I appreciate the personalized attention and immediate video/messaging feedback on my workouts. Even though I am about 3000 miles away, it has been easy peasy to maintain communication with Matt and Sandy – both lovely people and very caring about making sure everything is going smoothly.”

“I had an exceptional experience at Renew Strength and Wellness with Matt and Sandy.”
Their unique and personalized approach truly sets this clinic apart. Matt’s expertise and attention to detail has ensured that every session was tailored to my specific needs, and their innovative approach to your “homework” makes it easy to follow the plan and to make sure I’m doing the exercises correct. I highly recommend them!

“Detail-oriented one-on-one physical therapy with measurable results. I’m more comfortable and have been able to return to more of the activities I enjoy after several weeks of care.”
– Ashley Siders
“The level of empathy and care is so hard to find these days!”
Right from my first session with Matt, he did an amazing job listening to my situation and really taking the time to understand how I got hurt and the best way to help with the pain I was experiencing. He came up with a set of exercises that I continue to do and my pain has substantially subsided. I felt heard and his level of empathy and care to want to help and make me feel better is so hard to find these days! Wonderful person and physical therapist! The best hands down!
– Jill Fernandez
“I have really enjoyed meeting and working with Matt. I had the most thorough exam I’ve ever had from a PT and a great plan for my improvement. I like using the Everfit app and the ease of communication with Matt and Sandy. I am looking forward to the process!!! Have already recommended them to a friend!”
– Glen Knight
“Matt did a fantastic job assessing my ankle and hip issues.”
He has phenomenal attention to detail and really took time with me. When I left I was given “homework” which has helped my pain and mobility as well as increased performance with my surfing, climbing and volleyball. I would highly recommend Matt.
