This place would easily get 5 stars if it weren’t for one incredibly self-centered employee who continually parks in the patient parking area. Those spots are meant for patients, especially those who require mobility assistance, yet management seems unconcerned about addressing the issue. It’s disappointing, because the physical therapist and PTA here are absolutely awesome—professional, caring, and great at what they do. I would have stopped coming because of this ongoing problem, but the excellent care from the rest of the staff keeps me coming back.

Had Occupational Therapy a few weeks for a minor injury that was lagging. After therapy and getting the right brace, it healed right up. Definitely consider them for your home/work injuries

I experienced back and hip injuries from an accident. My orthopedist referred my to Riverbend in Metairie. Neil Romig evaluated and treated me with compassion and professionalism. Mallory was always prepared with my rehab. They made my time there efficient and effective. Simply the best experience and results I could hope for.

I started my physical therapy one week ago. I couldn't attend a better facility with better staff than where I am. The staff is wonderful and care about my well being. They listen and are able to answer any questions that I may have.

We absolutely loved our experience with Restore Physical Therapy. Our 13 y/o had an extensive leg surgery. Lauren and Liz were amazing with her! We felt like part of a family there and they were so flexible With our appointments and willing to adjust according to our needs. They utilized multiple methods of therapy for our daughter. We would never go anywhere else! Thank you Restore Physical Therapy!

I had a third procedure on the same knee. Two total knee replacements and a revision to remove a bone spure, scar tissue and move my knee cap up so I could have more flexion. I have been having this pain since 2014. I have been to several physical therapist and no one has been able to help until Dr.Schumacher recommended "Restore Physical Therapy" on hwy 21. I had the revision on July 8,2020. At the end of July I started PT at "restore physical therapy. 4 months twice a week. Today I graduated. I always looked forward to going. Lauren made sure I was never in pain. I am going to miss them. I felt myself get stronger at each visit Progress at every visit. Lauren Olsen, PT, DPT really knows her job, beyond the normal PT., I was actually able to run in my kitchen. Lauren had an assistant, Emily who was very knowledgable and knew what she had to do. And of course there was Liz did a variety of jobs from setting appointments to assisting me in exercises. They were a team! I felt like they were all my friends. I am now able to walk without pain. It feels wonderful to be without pain after 6 years of chronic pain. Thank you dearly, Jeanne Fitzgerald

I received the best care from Restore. Before therapy started I couldn’t raise my arm but half way up above my head. After 6 weeks of therapy Ashley had me raising my arm totally above my head. My shoulder was frozen when I started and she did magic on my shoulder. I would recommend Restore Physical Therapy to anyone that really wants to get results. Ashley made sure I was not doing anything that was unbearable for me. Ashley, you are the best. Keep on keeping on.

After a complete Knee Replacement I was treated at the Metairie office. The care extended to me was exceptional in all ways. The personal attention, the facilities, and just the total atmosphere made the process of my recovery go extremely well. Thanks to my PT, Neil Romig, and the entire organization.

Best pt experience ever! (And I have needed more than I care to remember.) Never felt like I was pushed too hard, but my recovery (went twice for two different injuries) was quick. Nice people, extremely professional and knowledgeable, but friendly and even fun to be around. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

I would highly recommend Riverbend Physical Therapy. I suffered from sciatica nerve pain in both legs from 2012 thru 2018 on a daily basis. After a few sessions with Riverbend the nerve pain ended. The staff is extremely professional and truly caring. I had tried other PT businesses before and none compare to the service and treatment that I received from Riverbend.

CARING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF! My son started PT at Riverbend for a broken arm. When he returned for a post op appointment, his surgeon was amazed with his progress. He told him whatever that PT was doing was working and not to stop! So, when I needed PT after surgery for a torn meniscus , I knew was where I was going!

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at Riverbend physical therapy. The staff were kind, considerate and helpful. They respected the value of my time and attended to me promptly. They didn’t over work me, but gave me therapy that advanced my progress towards correcting my problem. Matt is very pleasant and efficient with both his time and mine. I would gladly recommend Riverbed Physical Therapy to anyone I know.
