CORA Physical Therapy Riverside

"I'm so happy I found this place. There months ago I thought I'd never walk without pain again. Now here I am sleepwalking through my classroom. Everyone from Ashley at the front desk to Dylan, Joel, and company in the back are so welcoming and understanding of your recovery journey. They're kind but they push you to be accountable and work hard so that you can get better. Thanks guys. Without your guidance I wouldn't be where I am today. -Brandon Schwartz"

"I cannot say enough good things about this place. They are the most fun, caring group of people and I cannot recommend them enough. I dislocated and broke my ankle in 2 places, so obviously I couldn’t even walk when I first came to them. In addition to making my recovery a truly fun experience, I looked forward to every session, they paid attention to the details of my injury and my progress and were incredibly flexible to make sure that my recovery was meeting my individual goals. “I needed to be able to jump off a moving boat into a marsh with a net in my hands.” No problem we’ll get you there. And they 100% did. I am extremely grateful for my time with this team, Joel, Dylan and Andrew are the best and Brittany and Ashley at the front desk are absolute angels. I literally cannot recommend this place enough!"

"This is my second time coming here to CORA Physical Therapy. I came before shoulder surgery and now I’m back here again after surgery. Everyone here is so wonderful to work with and be around. The therapist here , Andrew , Dylan , and Joel are always a pleasure to work with . They are always checking to make sure you’re doing good and that you aren’t uncomfortable or in pain while doing the exercises they have you do . They’re always in such happy , upbeat moods that you can’t help but have an enjoyable time while you’re here . And the receptionists are both very wonderful as well. I’m so glad I started coming here to Cora because everyone is wonderful and I can definitely see improvement in my shoulder since being here. 10/10 highly recommend them to everyone. Update : I’m sad to have to leave this wonderful group of people I’ve spent over a year with during my journey to work on my shoulder. They were there for me before I had shoulder surgery and they were there for me when I came back after surgery and I must say, they are absolutely amazing ! Each and everyone of them are so knowledgeable and care so much about each patient that came into the clinic ! They did everything they could to help me get back to normal and I am so thankful for every one of them !❤️ I’m sad I graduated out of PT but I am so thankful to move on with my life ! I’ll miss everyone of these lovely people !❤️"

"Dr. Ralph Rizk referred me to Cora, in his words, I was mess. I got pretty banged up in College, I had two major knee surgeries in the span of four years. The pandemic interrupted the recovery after my first surgery (ACL and meniscus repair) and it led to the second (meniscectomy). I have about 25% of my meniscus left in my right knee. My surgeon (not Dr. Rizk) told me never to run or play competitive sports again. With sport being such an important part of my life, I was devastated, and my mental and physical health declined. Until I started therapy at Cora. Dylan did my intake, he listened carefully to my injury journey, took measurements and we immediately got to work. Dylan is definitely in the running for most chilled-out man in Florida, I feel so safe when I’m working with him. He is always asking me how I feel during an exercise and makes sure I am getting the most out of the exercises through proper tempo and technique. One of the many cool things about Cora is that when you’re a patient there you don’t just get one PT, you get them all. The team dynamic that Cora has is what makes it so special and effective. After Brittany or Ashley buzzes you into the workout room you are met by the friendliest most motivating faces and personalities that I’ve ever experienced in life, let alone a PT practice. Andrew is the epitome of Cora’s vibe. What a guy, dude, hype man, legend, genius, sweetheart, savior, and a bunch of other endearing terms which he uses equally often to get you going and healing. And with the guys, healing is what I did, I biked to Cora 2 to 3 times a week at the crack of dawn. After 2 to 3 months of expertly selected exercises that targeted imbalance and weakness, all my knee pain was gone. I am running again, playing sports and even playing competitive soccer without hesitation from pain or fears of injury. My physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing is truly the best it has ever been. I am confident that I can handle any of life’s physical challenges with the support of the Cora team. Thank you for everything Cora, even if I get discharged next week you’ve made PT a part of my lifestyle that I love doing every single day.

Also, special shoutout to Anna who took the photo, she is in training now, but she is really intelligent, professional and an amazing new part of the team."
