If you are seeking customized, approachable, and effective treatment, I highly recommend Alex at ThriveHQ!When you experience pain for years at a time, it’s almost impossible to believe anything will make it better. I’m so glad I took a chance and signed up for an intro session. Alex’s holistic attention to other health and lifestyle factors that can impede healing has been as impactful as the weekly therapy sessions, and it makes me feel seen as a person, not just a spine or a shoulder. I also appreciate that there is no “right way” to move through this process, and that Alex is always able to adapt activities or pacing to what I can handle on a given day.If that isn’t enough reason to check it out, ThriveHQ has extremely flexible scheduling, a bright, clean, sunny studio in the heart of Mac Groveland, and reasonable pricing. :)

I have suffered for YEARS with shoulder issues. To say that Dr. Jena is a miracle worker is a rock solid statement! PT never worked before I started working with her! She evaluated me with very detailed examination of shoulders and worked on a plan that has worked wonders. For the first time in a decade I am pain-free! Dr. Jena's knowledge is vast and goes far beyond just doing PT for you; she is a wealth of information with all of the connectors that help you be your best self!

I had been experiencing constant hip pain for almost 20 years. Not debilitating, but it made me avoid activities I enjoy. In 3 sessions the constant pain was gone. After 2 months of seeing Dr. Alex twice a week I can do the things I love without worrying about feeling miserable afterwards! I love the approach and the goal oriented problem solving movements and activities, it's just plain fun and it makes you feel better! Truly a fantastic experience all around.

I am impressed with the individualized care and the time allotted for appointments. Jena has time to provide manual therapy, personalized gym exercises and home exercises during my appointments. Her approach to my therapy has been enjoyable and educational.

Great, professional environment. Alex did a great job of providing me with a customized plan that worked for my stiff hips. The whole experience was top notch and I grew and healed. I would highly recommend Thrive HQ.

I started seeing Alex at Thrive HQ after spending many months hoping that a high hamstring injury from playing soccer would heal on its own. It wasn’t until I started working with Alex that the injury started to noticeably improve. He was great to work with and had a lot of creative ideas to make sure that my treatment aligned with my goals AND was applicable to the sports/activities that I participate in. I’ve been an athlete my entire life but this was the first injury that I have had to deal with where I wasn’t able to recover on my own and it was frustrating how long I was sidelined due to the injury. After spending almost a year not playing soccer or doing other activities, I was able to start playing again after about 2 months of working with Alex, and now after about 3 months I’m almost at 100%. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend him as a PT.

I've had a fantastic experience with Thrive HQ and Dr. Alex. My shoulder injury has recovered almost completely - I was stuck at a plateau (maybe getting worse even) - and now I'm ready to go back to the sports that I had to skip out on while I was injured. I've learned a lot in the process as well. 10/10.

I am so grateful to have a resource like this so close. When I first came in, my shoulder pain was significant enough that it was impacting my sleep. I even was finding painful to steer while driving.I used the Facebook promo to do an intro appointment. I was really impressed by the thoughtfulness of the overall approach and the ability to treat as a whole person vs. solely at one part. They help you become more resilient so you have more dexterity and stability.I worked with Alex. He is incredibly thoughtful and customized a program that tapped into things that I enjoyed, so it made it easier to follow through. He showed great empathy, inspiration and knowledge.I’m happy to say that in addition to resolving my pain issues, I am also back at a strength where I can do kettlebell work again and can even get my 45lb saddle on my horse again!Needless to say, I would highly recommend Alex and Thrive.

Alex has helped with my hip pain and has given me exercises I can do from home to increase my strength and keep the pain away. Previously I wasn’t sleeping well due to the hip pain; I’m sleeping so much better now.

I sustained a rotator cuff injury in early January that I tried to rehab myself. I decided to try Thrive HQ to assist in recovery. The intake process was excellent. Within 2 weeks of working with Alex I was really noticing progress. During the pt process I injured the front part of my shoulder and Alex easily pivoted and was able to come up with a plan to continue making progress with the original injury as well as working on the new one. Thrive has been great and today I am almost back to 100% only 6 weeks in thanks to Alex and the team at Thrive!

2026-02-24T15:29:24.750Z

Finally, someone getting to the root of my shoulder issue! Amazing progress in only three weeks!

2026-02-23T23:43:25.335Z

I highly recommend! Alex has been great to work with and I’m noticing improvements in my workouts and just daily movements from my sessions. I appreciate that since they don’t worry about billing insurance, each session can be tailored to exactly what I need on that day. I didn’t know PT could be fun 🤩

2026-02-10T15:55:43.821Z

Jena fixed me up much quicker than I ever expected. I was avoiding certain movements for years and after I was all squared away and back to 100%.

2026-02-04T16:12:05.344Z

Jena is a wealth of information and did a thorough intake and assessment. I felt much better after my first appointment. Highly recommend 👌 her and Thrive HQ!

2026-01-30T00:05:48.973Z

Greg has been a pleasure to work with. My back is feeling completely different (better) after a few weeks. I would highly recommend Thrive!

2026-01-08T18:18:31.123Z

Greg was amazing to work with, his knowledge of injury and therapy was top notch. Highly recommend!

2025-12-29T02:54:30.630Z

I had been battling shoulder pain for quite sometime. Through a concentrated program that included dry needling, cupping, massage, and a highly targeted workout plan, I’ve experienced tremendous pain relief and real, measurable progress. More importantly, I’ve been able to get back to the gym and the activities I love.Greg’s approach is knowledgeable, intentional, and personalized. He doesn’t just treat symptoms, he looks at the whole picture and builds a plan that actually works. I’m incredibly grateful for the care, expertise, and encouragement along the way.If you’re dealing with pain or injury, I can’t recommend Greg and Thrive HQ highly enough.

2025-11-18T18:08:16.225Z

Thrive HQ doesn't hurry through your appt in 20 minutes. Between the one hour appointment of acupuncture, massage and work outs, I was surprised how quickly I felt relief from my hip pain.I purchased 10 sessions, used five and saving the rest, which never expire.

2025-10-22T00:54:39.555Z

Greg helped me a lot. I had zero testosterone from cancer treatment and having a hard time recovering from some injuries, especially plantar fasciitis. Before I saw Greg I seriously thought I was going to have to walk with a cane. Just walking across a room was extremely painful at times. But Greg identified the problem and came up with a plan. He also tested my general mobility and identified problem areas other than my foot. The soft tissue treatments, along with the physical exercises he had me doing, have been very effective in getting me walking again, improving my strength and flexibility, increasing my energy levels, and just generally helping my enjoyment of everyday life. He didn’t go easy on me just because I am an older, non-athletic guy—he kicked my butt every time I went in. And he is a good guy, always easy to talk to and relatable. I am very thankful to Greg.

Dr. Matt is wonderful doctor. He listened his patient and he will be there to help you.

2025-08-19T21:00:22.371Z

I was having pretty severe hip pain. I went to see traditional orthopedic specialist and recommended an MRI immediately. Instead, I decided to give Dr. Greg and Thrive a try. Within the first visit I felt so well educated on what could potentially be going on and Dr. Greg immediately helped come up with a plan. He said it was likely weakness in my hip causing the pain. He told me to give his plan a try for at least 6 weeks including stretches, dry needling and strength exercises. If it doesn’t get better then go in for MRI. After seeing Greg for 2 weeks my pain went away almost immediately! I was so grateful for a solid plan and didn’t pay thousands of dollars for an MRI!! If you are in doubt, give thrive a try! You won’t regret it!

The excercises were too much for me. First time ever to experience muscle spasms. Maybe this place best for young people. Anna stayed supportive & helpful. However think I will stick with PT & a YMCA trainer.

2025-06-21T21:55:14.878Z

I have been training for an endurance gravel bike race and have had chronic issues with my right knee. Before Thrive, I tried other PTs, massage therapy, and MFR treatments. None were very effective. Greg spent over an hour diagnosing the issue and identified the problem was with the left hip. After ~7 sessions of strength and flexibility therapy, my knee issues were solved. I highly recommend Dr Greg Bailen.

2025-06-18T21:28:10.728Z

Thrive has helped my shoulder significantly and can finally do the things I love again and hit the gym! Highly recommend

2025-05-30T18:14:11.414Z

I worked with Greg for 8 visits and had great success. Everything was pertinent to my issue and the program pushed me further than I anticipated. I highly recommend Thrive for not only your immediate issue, but overall health. Thanks, Greg!!

2025-05-12T15:36:47.027Z

The help I received at Thrive HQ has been a vital component to my ongoing recovery. Anna is clearly a professional, with a wealth of knowledge and eagerness to share and provide personalized care. She helped me gradually shift away from fear-based movement and regain confidence in my capabilities. The exercises I learned at Thrive HQ are something I'll take with me as I continue to improve my bodily functionality. There is more to my journey, but I'm very thankful I decided to try Thrive HQ. 10/10 would recommend.

2025-05-01T03:01:15.902Z

Dr. Anna made me feel so comfortable and explained what we were doing every step of the way. She has a positive, fun attitude and I really enjoyed working with her. And I made great progress! She checked in regularly with me and created a customized plan based on the workouts I could do at home and at the gym. She is so dedicated and I am lucky to have worked with her!

2025-04-30T03:18:04.430Z

Dr. Anna has been absolutely fantastic to work with. She is extremely thorough and really listened to me which was critical to understanding what was really going on after a physician misdiagnosis. Dry needling, some practical lifestyle modifications, gentle exercises and sound advice on how to stay active during the acute phase of my injury really helped a lot — both physically and mentally. From there she built a comprehensive rehab program that was tailored just to me, including providing specific modifications for CrossFit workouts that allowed me to confidently get back to the gym. I have fully recovered and ‘graduated’ with a really practical plan to continue to build strength and prevent re-injury. Anna is truly exceptional!

2025-04-29T19:47:22.357Z

I came to Thrive for a sprained ankle with the goal of healing as quickly as possible to make a snowboarding trip I had already planned. Anna was incredibly accommodating and thorough.I felt she took a genuine interest and helped with both my recovery and a program for future injury prevention. Highly recommended!
