Reviews of Direct Physical Therapy Boise & Scoliosis Treatment Center (Physiotherapist)

Lisa Hess

Rita is not your father's physical therapist (but she could be, and she would probably help him.) I've seen various physical therapists over the last 15 years related to injuries from a car accident, and I'm impressed with the level of personalized care that Rita provides, her knowledge and obvious concern for her patients. Her practice is not one-size-fits all, but is tailored to me and my individual needs and challenges, focused on getting to the root of the problem and healing, rather than just dealing with symptoms.

I had my first visit with Rita last week regarding chronic low back pain which began as a disc injury years ago. Since then the pain has flared up off and on throughout the years. As a chiropractor myself, I know the importance of rehabbing an injury, but I wasn't great at doing it on my own. I'm so glad that I came across Rita...at the end of my treatment my lower back felt more stable, and I had a noticeable increase in low back range of motion. I was so impressed with Rita's knowledge and her attention to detail. Also- she actually LISTENED to me. She used not only what she found during my assessment but also used my feedback to determine which exercises would be best for me. And best part?? No need to travel to an office or wait in traffic. 10/10 I would recommend Direct PT Boise!

Rita was a God send. I am now on my way to recovery from an impingment of my hip. Her thorough treatmant and professional expertise was just what I needed. Thank you Rita

Rita is fantastic with my 15 yr old daughter. She is super knowledgeable about scoliosis having been through significant training in the subject. We truly enjoy the time she takes explaining everything in detail and makes the hard things fun as well.

I recently had dry needling with Rita for some wrist pain I've been experiencing. As a chiropractor, I kind of need those to do my job :) After one treatment, I noticed a lot more wrist mobility and less muscle tightness in my forearms. About one week later I'm feeling 90% improvement. I can't recommend Rita, and dry needling, enough!

Rita Miller is an exceptional physical therapist! She is very intuitive in her approach to your individual needs. She listens to what your issues are and what things have already been tried and not worked. She is very passionate about helping people improve their quality of life, and does so by accurately assessing your injury or issue, developing a plan with you and teaching you how to work that plan for yourself. At the most, when I've had an issue that I couldn't resolve, I've seen Rita twice just for follow-up. She doesn't nickel and dime you, but gives you the tools to continue caring for yourself. She is by far the best option in the Treasure Valley.

Rita was great! Rita came right to my office to help me with a knee problem. She is very knowledgeable and was able to demonstrate some exercises to help me. I would highly recommend Direct Physical Therapy.

Best PT in Boise. I've had occasion to go to more than 6-8 PT's since my physical struggles with my back and neuropathy began 2 years ago. Nobody else came close to the intuitive...especially..strongly considered..thinking that Rita showed. Her knowledge base was impressive right off...and she frequented continuing education seminars...even during my months with her! Bottom line, of course, is translating that into communication, and especially, compassion. She exhibits bountiful amounts of both. I couldn't be more pleased; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her highly!

I had a shoulder injury and Rita came to our gym. She gave me a thorough evaluation and treatment plan that I incorporated at home with improvement noticed within a week! I loved that she listened and encouraged with compassion! I will use her again for my PT needs! Thanks Rita

Rita was great. Very personable and knowledgeable. She took her time assessing my issues and gave me exercises to work on to help strengthen and stretch where needed. Leaving me with video of myself performing the exercises correctly is a great reminder of the exercises to be performed and the proper way to do them. Coming to me also allows her to show me where the exercises can easily be performed in my own home. If you need a physical therapist, I would highly recommend Rita. She also followed up with me, via text, about a week later to be sure that things were going well. I feel that I could contact her any time with questions or concerns. She cares about helping people get better.

I found Direct Physical Therapy Boise & Scoliosis Treatment Center while researching through the help of Google, as I have scoliosis. Rita Miller was able to talk to my insurance and get me approved for in network services. That was extremely important for me! I have had 4 appointments with Rita, and am very pleased with the process she is taking me through. It's a little scary not knowing much about scoliosis and she has taken the time to educate me and with the treatments I am getting, I feel a lot better about the future!!! I strongly recommend anyone who has early stages of scoliosis or like me, later stages, to take this serious and make an appointment with Rita Miller and learn what your options are! It's not to late to start changing your back! I am excited to continue learning on how to take care of my back! Thanks Rita for all your help teaching me and I feel positive this will make a huge difference with my scoliosis!

Rita was very professional, knowledgeable, and diligent while helping me recover from my injury. She is also very responsive and accommodating to your schedule. She will be my first call for any future issues that I might have. Thank you!

Rita is absolutely amazing! I've suffered for years from migraines, and had in turn been prescribed a cocktail of pills over the years. After two visits with her, and learning a few new excercises, my migraines have substantially decreased. This month I've only had ONE migraine, and taken only ONE pill. This is a huge change in my life!!! Rita gave me the ability to fix my pain, instead of covering it with a bandaid. Thankyou Rita for being a doctor that seeks REAL solutions. Thank you for teaching me how to get rid of my pain without prescriptions. You gave me my hope back. I cannot convey to you how grateful I am to not be "fear packing" pain meds with me when I leave my home. For the first time in years I'm falling asleep without the fear of waking up with pain. For the first time in years I'm actually sleeping through the entire night without discomfort waking me up. You really did change so much more in my life then you will ever realize. Thank you for being the one, and only doctor to examine my pain and prescribe something beyond a pill! You changed everything. So glad that I walked into your office!!

Rita is the best PT we’ve ever had. She makes a difference. You have to do the work and you have to do what she tells you to do. She reallyknows how to motivate you and when you do the things she tells you to do, they really help. She’s compassionate and lovely and we adore her.We highly recommend her for any problem you might have. My husband has been having shoulder issues and I’ve been having knee and shoulder issues. She’s excellent

Mark Parmley

Amazing experience. Slipped a disc and she got it back in place in less than a week. Awesome knowledge of what she does and always showed a genuine iterest throughout the appointment. And as always she come to my house directly!!!!

Rita used a very logical, science-based method to diagnose me and develop a program for help. She has been very responsive and has gone above and beyond to find causes of my pain. I would highly recommend her, even if you've tried other physical therapy in the past. She listens to what you've done that didn't work and finds way to attack an issue from another angle. Plus, you can't beat the convenience of her coming to you.

I had been struggling with siatic nerve pain for months. I had tried foam rollers, stretches, chiropractic work, heating, icing and still no relief. I met with Rita and within 24 hours the pain was significantly reduced and within 48 hours the pain was 90% gone! My favorite part? Rita not only taught ME how to manage the pain, but how I needed to treat the source of the pain! These are simple stretching exercises I can do on my own! Thank you Rita at Direct Physical Therapy!
