RISE Physical Therapy & Wellness Center

12/02/2025

Two years under this sign. November 2023-November 2025!

We are so grateful for every visit, every conversation, and every person who trusted us with their wellness. 🌱

While RISE is closed indefinitely, your wellness journey doesn’t end here. ☀️ Here are some local options to continue receiving the type of care you found at RISE:

• Massage: Check out Sam at The Multi-Care Center in Coudersport. She always received rave reviews from our mutual clients.

• Pelvic Floor Therapy: For the most local option, we recommend Dr. Brittany Fair who practices at Gardner Chiropractic in Olean. This is cash-based care just like ours, and Dr. Brittany is an OT who was trained similarly to Dr. Chenae. She treats pelvic pain, coccydynia, pelvic floor muscle spasms, pain with in*******se, prolapse, and incontinence. She also offers help with pregnancy and birth preparation as well as postpartum recovery (which can include core rehab, diastasis, and more).

If you’re looking for insurance-based therapy, google search “pelvic floor physical therapy [insert town name]”. For in-state care, DuBois and Erie are the closest options that we’re aware of. Jamestown has pelvic floor therapy if going into New York State is an option for you.

• Physical Therapy: You can find great care at UPMC! Our favorite therapist is Dr. Noah Jordan at the Shinglehouse location. In addition to providing top-notch PT for your aches and pains from head to toe, we highlight that Dr. Noah treats BPPV (for my vertigo patients!) and is trained is LSVT BIG Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease.

• Scrubs + Wellness Care: Follow Donnia Anastasia for comparable services. Donnia has a wide range of offerings and Dr. Chenae has enjoyed receiving Ayurvedic care from Donnia.

• Holistic Health: Dr. Bruce Fink at the Multi-Care Center is a wonderful option for holistic, comprehensive management of your overall health, and he does accept insurance. Dr. Fink is an incredible resource in this area, and we have co-treated several clients together for issues ranging from constipation, headaches, gut issues, TBI, balance issues, pelvic venous disorders, and more. Visit www.finkmulticare.com to learn more.

We’d love for past clients to share in the comments: who have you found that offers care similar to RISE? ✨ Your recommendations might help someone else find the support they need.

Serving this community has been the honor of a lifetime. 💛💙 Thank you for being part of our story!

To say the past two years were a blessing is certainly an understatement. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to serve our community in such an impactful way.

In September of 2023, Racheal sent Chenae a picture of a building with a “For Rent” sign in the window. Chenae replied, “Why did you send me that?”

“You always wanted to open your own clinic!”

Less than two months later, our doors were open and we were seeing patients.

We’ve made connections that will last a lifetime, and many of our clients have become like family.

We helped a mom with 18 years of pain finally receive a diagnosis and the care she needed.

We helped a woman who fell down the stairs and broke her neck reclaim her life and her freedom.

We helped a man with knee arthritis learn how to better manage his pain and stiffness so he could get back into the gym again.

We helped many women with pelvic pain reduce or eliminate embarrassing leaks, get rid of period pain, decrease their reliance on medications, and regain pleasure with intimacy.

We helped a family navigate hospice care through the end of life and feel hopeful throughout the process.

We had the honor of helping a woman return to functioning after falling and breaking her elbow. She was able to improve her quality of life and maintain her dignity through the end of her life.

We partnered with a man in his 90s after he was referred to us for back pain. We ended up helping with his back pain, knee pain, and balance issues, allowing him to age in place and enjoy his home in the safest way possible.

We hosted the BEST Ladies Night events and helped so many groups of women celebrate meaningful milestones with fabulous food, friends, and fun. We also hosted holiday events packed with crafts, education, and fellowship that we will remember and cherish forever!

We volunteered our time in the community - sharing at the library, Pitt-Bradford, the Zonta Women’s Club, and more, to spread the power of physical therapy education with anyone willing to listen.

We helped patients after TBIs, strokes, surgeries, falls, sprains, strains, fractures, and so much more. We worked with clients young and old, in our clinic and in their homes, across all ability levels, some coming from Smethport and even as far as Singapore, just to experience the RISE difference in quality of care.

We’ve cried with patients, laughed with them, played music with them, and have truly felt enriched by our experiences with this community over the last two years.

Thank you, Racheal, for believing in me and helping me actualize a dream I’ve had since 2010. Being a clinic owner is a 24/7 job. Every sleepless night, every frustrated phone call with other providers, every struggle we faced was worth it for the clients who said, “You saved my life,” or “Thank you for being the first person to actually listen to me.”

Serving people in pain and helping them navigate their way out of it is truly my passion, and I hope to one day be able to help even more people in this way.

For now, we’re stepping back to focus on our families, and we genuinely appreciate everyone’s understanding. We pray you all find the help you need in the meantime, and we’ll happily share here if we’re able to reopen in the future.

Thank you for allowing us to serve you. 💛💙

Racheal here 💚 We’ve had so many sweet messages asking about a baby shower for Chenae, so I wanted to share a quick update!

She’ll be celebrating Baby #4 next month, and for anyone whose life she’s touched and would like to attend, you’re welcome to reach out and I’ll send you the invitation details.

A little reminder: our last day seeing patients is November 25th. We’re soaking up these last weeks and feeling so grateful for all the love and support this community has shown us.

We’re only scheduling existing patients right now and have limited spots left. If you or someone you know has a gift certificate, please call or text 814-368-0778 soon to book before we close.

Thank you all for being part of the RISE family. Your kindness and encouragement mean the world to us. 💚

🌳✨ We are SO excited for Mobility in the Park TOMORROW! 🙌

Make sure to bring:
💧 Water
🧘‍♀️ A yoga mat or towel
🧠 And most importantly — an open mind!

The ground might be a little damp, so we're encouraging bare feet for that extra grounding vibe.

🌟 Keep an eye out for our gold cash box to drop in your $5 — it’s low-key, honor-system style, and adds a little sparkle to the experience. 💛

We’re kicking things off right at *4:00 PM sharp, so try to come a little early to get set up and settled in. We’ll be in front of the dam at Hamlin Park, just look for friendly faces and relaxed vibes.

We can’t wait to move, stretch, and laugh with you. Let’s make this Sunday a good one!
