Don’t go here unless you want to feel your best and want help reaching your personal fitness goals…seriously. I limped into John Beall’s office a year ago,having no idea how I hurt my knee. I needed to be on my feet for 3 weeks walking through Europe in 4 days ( thanks to Yelp-I found RISE! ) John fixed my knee and I was running 2 days later! I am active but was constantly stopping my training due to injuries. I returned to RISE after my trip and worked with John on my latent injuries for several months (not everything… Read more “Lynn R.”

In need of body work, personal training, massage or the most amazing chiropractics? So, I have been through the mill in search of a good hands-on body work specialist and Dr. John Beale came to my rescue. He and the Rise Bodyworks staff are the best in the business. One of the major benefits is that Dr. Beale is hands on and he is involved in every aspect of the biz and in your improvement and recovery. I would not be as healthy as I am today if it were not for him and staff. Most of all, he is… Read more “Noel H.”

Rise, a long overdue 6 month review. I was introduce to Rise through John Beal’s chiropractic practice. An ergonomist at work recommended John as the go to chiropractor to fix a plantar fasciitis I’d been lugging for a year. In 3 months Dr Beal fixed it! Yes people, plantar fasciitis can be fixed, and John Beal is your man! Dr John then suggested a bit of physical therapy to strengthen and build some muscle where they were needed. That’s where he handed me over to Derek. Yeah, the great thing about Rise, it’s all in one place, and it’s downtown,… Read more “Antony B.”

I’ve had six sessions so far with John Beale and already I am feeling noticeable improvements. A twisted ankle led to whole-leg stress that was preventing me from running. After these sessions I am back at about 90% and had a pain-free run this week. I’m stoked! Rise has a great vibe and John is a fantastic physical therapist, super in tune to the body and not one to spare his clients the necessary intensive treatment to get to true healing. Thank you, John!
