In March of 2016 I got pinched nerve in my neck. I could sleep only lying down straight; I had tingling and numbness in my arms and hands. I spent 2 months at PT in Foothills. No results. Then, spent 5 months going to acupuncture specialist. It helped me a lot finally I could sleep, and I could sleep in different poses. However, acupuncture didn't help with arms. I still had pain while I was working on a computer. Then at the end of December I started to go to chiropractor. It was HUGE mistake!!! After 4 months visiting chiropractor, I got more problems than I had. He put me back where I was year ago, plus added the lower back and hip problems. When I came to Thompson's PT, I had constant pain in my arms, hands, and hip. I couldn't sit down for more than 30 min, drive more than 10 min without pain in my hip, I couldn't use mouse or keyboard for more than 5 min without pain. I went at few different PT places, so I can say that Doctor Thompson has unique method of evaluation. He is not only making you do some movements, on the top of it he checks every muscle in problem area on your body. So he can have full picture what is going on with you. I go to the Thompson's PT two times per week for my lower back/hip problem, and 2 times per week for neck and arm (insurance will not pay for both in one day). I had 4 visits for my hip/lower back, and I already feel difference. I can easily drive for an hour, pain in my hip almost gone. My neck feels better too (I had only 2 visits). When I come to PT, first, I'm doing exercises. Thompson's PT stuff is very nice and friendly. Stephanie makes sure that I'm doing exercises correctly, she even counts for me. :-) After exercises Sara is preforming deep tissue massage on my tight muscles. She is very strong and knowledgeable! I think massage goes for at least 30min. Dr. Ryan Thompson is doing deep tissue massage and laser every second visit. He is releasing muscles spasm. And laser really stops pain. After massage, I'm getting ice therapy for 15min. Every my visit lasts full hour, sometimes it takes even longer, but they never rush even if it's their lunch time. I wish I would go to Thompson's PT year ago!!! I definitely will recommend Thompson's PT to my family and friends. read more

I had shoulder surgery in July and went to another location for therapy. After 12 sessions, I still had very little range of motion and I was still sleeping in a chair. Since I got more sessions authorized, I decided to change therapists. I started going to Ryan Thompson PT and after 3 sessions began seeing results already. I had more range of motion and I actually started sleeping in my bed again. Keep in mind there was only a week separation between the other facility to this one. I think it helped having that one on one attention making sure everything was done right. Austin, his assistant, is great about making sure you do everything correctly. He rarely loses count of your reps either! I had so great results at this location that I started sending my kids to him for sports therapy, Golf and Judo. Anyone could teach you great exercises, but a few things done differently help, well they helped me. Besides the exercises, you go through a long laser pain therapy session with Ryan which loosens everything up. After the laser, you get iced up with an actual machine, not just a bag of ice wrapped on top of your shoulder with cellophane. And every session could be different depending on your results. Everyone has their favorite doctors, therapists, etc. but if your looking for a therapist who's going to be around a while, try this location, you will be happy. read more

I fell and injured my left shoulder to the point that I needed a reverse shoulder replacement. Unfortunately my first surgery was not successful and I needed a second surgery (revision). After my revision I decided not to return to my original therapist as I felt the stretching exercises were too aggressive and I was not receiving the attention that I seriously needed. I did not know where to go so I turned to Yelp to assist me with finding a therapist. After reading all the five star reviews for Thompson Physical Therapy I decided to try them hoping they could help me too with the arduous rehabilitation process I had to face. I went in hardly able to move my arm and came out after my sessions virtually back to normal. Ryan and his wife, Ani, (both Registered Physical Therapists) started my regimen slow (baby steps) and gradually increased the types and number of exercises. I never left a session without a gentle stretching and/or massage to the shoulder. I found their assistants to be very pleasant and attentive. My situation was dire and I honestly did not know if I was ever going to be able to use my arm again. Thankfully, I was able to locate therapists that enjoy what they do, are knowledgeable in their field, and sincerely care for their patients. read more

This place is amazing. I had gone to two other places in Fresno to help me with the pain I was experiencing in my upper back, neck, etc., and had no luck. I started going to Thompson Physical Therapy because of a co-worker who was obtaining good results from Thompson Physical Therapy and I have to say that Thompson Physical Therapy is the place to go if you are experiencing any pain in your neck, back, etc. The staff is polite, encouraging, upbeat and make you feel so welcomed. Ani is amazing, she listens to your needs and helps you understand what is going on with your body. I learned a lot about how the body heals. My pain level has reduced significantly to where I feel human again. I feel so much better and I'm so happy because for two years I was in a lot of pain. Thank you Thompson Physical Therapy! You are the best! Bernice read more

Great staff, great costumer service, friendly and helpful. Their services have really helped me with my low back pain, I have low back pain that shoots down my right leg (sciatica pinched nerve). They have this cold laser that repairs the cells in the body. This is the only thing I know that has helped me reduce my agonizing pain I carry around all the time except for pain killers. First time I went I was taking about 800 mg of iboprofen every 8 hours. After the 3rd session with the laser I was only taking about 200 mg the hole day and sometimes even nothing at all. So I was good for a while but due to work and lifting allot of boxes at work it started flaring up again. I went last Thursday and then again to day and I'm already starting to feel much much more better. If you have pain try this out it held allot !! Peace read more

I blew out two discs in my lower back! I was unable to straighten my leg! After going to Ryan at Thompson Physical Therapy, I was able to walk again in five months time. There were no alternatives the doctor's said told me to go under the knife was a fifty fifty chance that I would take and they even advised me not to have surgery. Ryan went above and beyond what was expected of him to because he care's about his patients. He helped me with different therapy's that proved to be helpful. I was unsure I would walk again I thought I would be in a wheel chair the rest of my life. The pain I was in only people with back pain can understand it was a level 9 to a 10 twenty four hours a day. With Ryan's help I no longer have back pain and am as strong and fit as I was before. Thank you Ryan! read more

Our 10yr old daughter plays competitive softball and soccer so when she complained of knee pain we were very concerned. We rested it for a couple weeks but no change. The Doctor said more rest, no change. After the x-ray and MRI came back negative we didn't know what to do. I saw Ryan working with another young soccer player so I asked what he does and if he can help us. He set us up with a 10 session plan to help relieve the pain, strengthen her knee and educated us on exercises to do at home to help prevent such injuries. It worked!!! We are so pleased with the service and price for the therapy session. God willing, we will never have to seek physical therapy but if we do, it will definitely be with Thompson Physical Therapy. Thank you Ryan for everything! read more

From day one, I was very impressed with the professionalism at Thompson Physical Therapy and I wish I could give more than five stars. After my hip replacement, I enjoyed working with Ani, Chris and Sara and their unique one on one rehabilitation program. It was like having a personal life coach supporting me. Ani is extremely knowledgeable in her profession and cares about her patients. I appreciate her focus on one-on-one treatment, manual therapy and patient education. Chris and Sara have been there every step to keep me positive and encouraged. Together they promoted a friendly rehabilitation environment that made me push myself to a faster recovery. I can't thank them enough! I highly recommend Thompson Physical Therapy without a single reservation. read more

Thompson PT is so welcoming!! I loved ALL staff, they were patient, kind, interactive and just added some extra positivity to each visit I had. I loved every session I had with Mr. Thompson. He listened to what I had to say and how I had felt about my ankle injury at the time. I was currently training to enter the military and he understood the importance of my recovery. He adjusted my PT to fit my previous active lifestyle, but was still extremely careful to not further injure. There are a few patients that go at a time, but your treatment is one on one interaction. The facility is very clean, but parking was a little difficult around the afternoon time. I would definitely recommend! read more

Carolyn S. Ryan Thompson and his wife, Ani, are outstanding, compassionate physical therapists who, in addition to traditional therapy, bring expertise in the use of the ML 830 cold laser therapy. This laser therapy has been a godsend for me and a very good friend. Both of us have benefited as no other therapist has ever been able to help us. She has polymyalgia and osteoarthritis and I have a sciatica problem that has plagued me for 50 years. We both feel that we have been struck by a miracle called Thompson Physical Therapy! Pay them a visit and you will find your own miracle in two hardworking, caring, and knowledgeable therapists who will treat you like family. read more

I really had a wonderful healing with Ryan Thompson's physical therapy on my hips. I can sleep at night again pain free. Wonderful one on one attention from assistants doing exercises and stretches to strengthen muscles around the hip. Twice a week sessions with gentle manipulation/massages on problem areas and laser used to release tension in hurt area. A wonderful icing of the hip area with cozy blankets finished each session. I walk out like I have been to a spa. I highly recommend this physical therapy. Ryan Thompson is very knowledgeable about about the body and explains what he is doing as he administers treatment. read more

I am a former world class athlete who had to have multiple shoulder surgeries, including having my right shoulder totally replaced twice. I was fortunate to have been referred to Ryan and Ani for my physical therapy. Their one-on-one approach to my therapy took me from basically being unable to use my dominant arm to being able to do most of the activities I previously enjoyed. Ryan pushed me as hard as I could tolerate and it really paid off. Don't settle for a physical therapist who hardly spends any time with you. Go see Thompson Physical Therapy and get started on your road to recovery. read more

I was diagnosed with a L5- S1 bulging disc sitting on a nerve. Extremely painful and debilitating.I wasn't be able to walk or do much for months. Couldn't run without screaming. Ryan has worked on my back for a few times and I couldn't believe that I was be able to run and exercise just like before. He is also doing a great job on my rotator cuff injuries which I already seen progress in it. He truly cares and wants you to get better. I would recommend them to anyone who was serious about rehabilitating. Thank you Ryan and his team in Thompson Physical Therapy. read more

I am a 56 year old man with moderate to severe vertigo issues. I was recommended to Thompson PT by my family doctor. This was simply a life changing visit for me. I deal with other physical ailments that slow me down but, vertigo can stop you from any forms of physical activity. Ryan taught me how to control and manage the dizziness. I look forward to further treatments from Ryan and his caring and professional staff. If you suffer for this type of condition, I strongly suggest you visit Ryan. Thank you Ryan for all that you've have done for me and my family. read more

I could barely walk when I walked into this establishment. Thanks to a bulging disc L4/L5. After 3 sessions with Ryan my pain had subsided drastically. No more pain meds. After 7 sessions I was biking at the gym and building my strength again and hitting the weights with proper body mechanics taught to me by Ryan to prevent further injury. This is an amazing place Ryans passion along with his wife for helping people is amazing. The staff is amazing Austin his employee is squared away. Awesome place. Couldn't pay me to go anywhere else. read more

Thank you for the wonderful care you gave me during my therapy program. It was obvious that both Ryan and Ani are very knowledgeable in their field and showed genuine concern and empathy toward my recovery. I appreciate that they always took the time to answer my questions and explain things in detail to me. Their humorous attitude along with their friendly and knowledgeable staff, Sarah, made coming to therapy fun and something I looked forward. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you for your great service. read more

I had a pain in my neck and shoulders from working on the computer for hours a day. I had a regular massage thinking that would work and it did for a day then it came back. I went to Thompson PT and Ryan used a laser on me and his wonderful massaging hands and it was immediately better after the second visit it was completely gone. I still am on the computer a lot but I do the exercises that Ryan showed me and I have been pain free! Try him or his wife Ani they are awesome! Deb Tillis read more
