I saw Jesse after taking a first visit with a few different PT's about an injury I picked up while marathon training, and I am very happy I picked Jesse. Where other highly recommended trainers couldn't pinpoint the issue, Jesse referred me to a great running-specialized orthopedist who found a bone issue on a scan. I returned to run a lot faster thanks to Jesse, and felt a lot stronger when I did thanks to his recommended training schedule. For runners looking to recover from something or optimize training, Jesse's a great choice!

I have felt stuck with running-related knee pain, but really wanted to keep moving as pain free as possible while transitioning into mid-life. Jesse spent time listening, learning from me, evaluating the problem and educating me about the mechanics of what was causing my knee pain. He is science based in his approach and I was engaged and confident in my treatment plan because he helped me understand the 'why' of my home exercise plan. He was very patient with my non-athletic self, and was very understanding as I navigated an unexpected rough season of life during my treatment plan. I would highly recommend Jesse--a good person, funny and great PT/chiro!.

Working with Jesse has been fantastic. A kind listening ear, expertise, and genuine interest in helping get me on track for my goals with a custom tailored plan. Highly recommend.

Dr. Riley is an incredibly skilled rehab and performance specialist. He's helped me prepare for everything from heavy bench presses to half-marathons.

He's not your "typical" chiropractor. Dr. Riley takes a holistic approach to what your body needs to get out of pain and stay out of pain so you can live and train at your best.

Plus, he's a genuinely great guy and high-integrity businessman.
Can't recommend Dr. Riley highly enough!

I found Jesse through a simple google search and boy am I glad I did! I spent the last few months working with him to get to the start line of the Chicago marathon pain free and healthy, and I can safely say that I wouldn't have been able to do that without his help! If you want someone who will work with you to address the root cause of your pain and help you get healthy while still enjoying the activities that you love book an appointment.

I started working with Jesse last summer. I was having severe IT band pain and weakness. I had essentially stopped running. My leg would even give out during longer grocery shopping trips. I was in rough shape.

Over several visits, Jesse helped me understand my personal body mechanics, isolate muscle weaknesses, and build a rehab program that was adaptable as we gained further insight into the nature of my injury.

I was rigorous in my home therapies, using the exercise program Jesse prescribed and following his guidance on activity tolerance. Each visit started with massage work as we analyzed/brain-stormed my progress, symptoms, and what made those symptoms better or worse. Then, Jesse would push me in my exercises, studying how my movements changed as I fatigued.

Added bonuses in our sessions included isolated massage work, dry needling (which I find incredibly helpful), and manual adjustments when needed.

I really appreciate Jesse’s passion and positive attitude. He does a great job communicating weird, subtle sensations or movements. Once we figured out the general problem, our sessions became more and more focused. I am happy to say that within 6 months of working with Jesse, was able to run consistently again. I no longer climbed or skied with anxiety about my leg giving out or the severe pain creeping in during activity. And if it ever did, Jesse equipped me with the skills to help alleviate it during activities.

I very rarely suffer from the symptoms of last summer now. I can ski tour as long as I want, have spent long days climbing in the alpine, and am ramping up my weekly running miles.

Jesse, I can’t thank you enough. Modern Movement Clinic is my first choice for future therapy needs.

Wow! A lot of chiros want to get patients in and out as quick as possible. He takes a consultative approach and truly listens to what issues you are facing to come up with a tailored solution for your unique need. One of a kind place!

I initially contacted Dr. Jesse due to extreme pain in my sciatica. He was thorough in testing and helped relieve pain through a series of exercises and therapies. I continued to see him because it was helping me get up each morning. I also had some other issues in my shoulder and had recently broken my wrist, I was really a mess when I went in to see him, and with his recommendations to change things up a bit, dry needling, massage, and exercise regimen, I have not had issues since. In the time I have been working with Dr. Jesse, he has helped me get back to running and I feel better than ever. He takes the time to explain what is happening, ways to remediate, encouragement, all with a wicked sense of humor. I am really glad to have found him.
