Renew Strength and Wellness

Matt Rieder provided an excellent PT experience for me this Spring. He has a detailed knowledge of anatomy and a unique approach to the PT exercises. I consulted him for heel pain and the improvement has been dramatic. Matt is passionate, knowledgeable, and professional. He took time to carefully investigate my issues and progress, and updated my protocol accordingly. Sandy Rieder runs the practice and is likewise professional and organized. The app they use for the home practice is helpful and easy to use. I highly recommend Renew Strength and Wellness for excellent physical therapy care in the St Augustine area.

I came to Renew because of debilitating hip pain. As a very active person, I was unable to walk, let alone run or bike. Doc called it bursitis, but cortisone and PT didn’t help. At my first appt, Matt analyzed my whole movement chain, from my feet to my hips. I left that first appt with much improved mobility and less pain. At each appt, Matt provided exercises that targeted increased mobility while strengthening weak muscles affecting mobility. I am now back to running/biking/exercising and am so grateful to Matt for giving me back my mobility. I highly recommend Renew!

My husband had used Renew for his knee injury previously and I never thought that just a few months later that I would be a client myself. With that said, I knew I was in good hands with this team. I was worried that my deteriorating back was going to ruin the opportunity for exercise and my hobbies in the future. Renew helped me find myself again. Matt took the time to look at the whole-body perspective and helped me retrain my bad habits and to improve my mind-body connection. It changed everything: how I walk, how I exercise, how I move. Imagine my surprise when I learned how off my posture was and that an old ankle injury was creating a huge problem for my whole body. My bad habits were taking a huge toll on my body. Thanks to Renew, my back pain has been managed in a natural way. I am sleeping better and working out daily again. My posture and running form have improved and I am back to lifting weights again. Renew helped me to get my confidence back!

Matt and Sandy are great! Matt's knowledge of the body is amazing and his approach to physical therapy and strengthening is much different than any other therapy I have had. Other physical therapists just target the problem area, in my case the problem area is my knee. Matt focuses on the whole body from the feet up. He also puts an emphasis on attitude and is very motivational.
