What Active Adults in Richmond Are Saying

As a Division 1 athlete at the University of Richmond, Dr Gabby was introduced to me at a critical point in my season and rehab and she exceeded all expectations I could have ever had. I immediately felt relief and saw progress with an injury I had been dealing with for 6 months and she is without a doubt the reason I was healthy enough to finish my season! Could not recommend Dr Gabby and Grit more!
Charlotte Edwards
I suffered a hip injury multiple months ago and had seen a few PTs that didn't end up helping much. I scheduled a session at GRIT and was expecting the same (and boy, was I wrong!) I assumed I would be in pain for the next year until I finished up college lacrosse. After my very first session, I felt so much better, and just a few weeks later, I am pain-free, even doing highly intense workouts. Gabby is extremely intelligent, and I was impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and ability to help with a not-so-common injury. I highly recommend GRIT for anybody recovering from an injury or experiencing pain!

We utilized Grit for our son’s hamstring injury rehab. Dr Griffin is very thorough and detailed with all her work. Our son felt confident after have sessions with her to finish his rehab.
Todd Dube
Gabby is incredible. She is very thorough and thoughtful with her evaluation and diagnostic approach to ensure the treatment plan fits your specific needs. I cannot recommend her enough!

I play high school basketball and Ive had patellar tendonitis for as long as I can remember. Went from having major knee pain and barely being able to dunk. To being able to consistently windmill. 10/10

GRIT was the perfect partner for me in my ankle rehab. After months of little to no improvement, I went to GRIT and immediately began to see results. They understand what athletes need in order to get back to peak performance. Highly recommend.
