From my first visit to the last, there were always two things that happened. First, Josh always made me feel better physically, almost instantly. His knowledge of the human body is seemingly endless, and he is always willing to talk in detail about anything to help you get better. Secondly, he always makes you feel better mentally. Josh never failed to give a big smile and a positive message that always made you feel like the treatment is truly going to work – and it does! Overall the experience working with Josh was incredible and I encourage anyone looking for a reliable source for getting – or staying – healthy to consider working with him.

I heard about him from a trainer at my gym. I went in because I had been having problems with my hip for the past year that started during my pregnancy. The nerve would act up and I could barely walk on many days. Josh fixed my hip within 20 minutes and the amazing thing was that he also fixed my shoulder. I had had a knot in the back of my shoulder for about five years that just wouldn't go away and bothered me almost daily. Massages would only help temporarily. I have not had to return for further treatments and after a few weeks of lingering tenderness after the one treatment I have not had any problems with either my hip or my shoulder in the year since I last saw him.

I was diagnosed with Plantar Fascitis by my Family Practice doctor. I could barely stand or walk due to the pain. She prescribed special shoes and inserts and advised that if that was not successful, treatment by steroid injections or perhaps surgery was in the future. The shoes helped some but did not restore my ability to move as I desired. A friend told me of the Active Release Treatment and I found Dr. Renkens here in Nashville. His first treatment resulted in significant improvement and after four sessions, I am 90% as good as new! I again lead my life with only minor restrictions, thanks to Dr. Renkens. I wholeheartedly recommend him and the ART procedure for anyone with Plantar Fascitis. It restored my quality of life!

I wanted to thank you for helping my daughter, Emily McManus, with her knee problem. She had been going to physical therapy for almost 3 months under the guidance of an orthopedic surgeon with no results. After 3 treatments with you she is running again and we are so relieved! She leaves July 16 for West Point Prep School and we were really getting worried about how she would make it on a bad knee. She has worked years to reach this goal! Her other doctor had wanted to do surgery! We are so glad that a West Point Grad had known about you and recommeded you to us. I just regret not knowing about you sooner! We spent lots of time from work, school, and missed track season for doctors appointments and physical therapy sessions 3 times a week, not to mention thousands of dollars on MRIs, deductibles, and co-pays. Thank you from the McManus Family!

With absolute confidence, I can state that every student-athlete that I work with at Vanderbilt University would benefit from spending time with Josh. Whether it be ART, MAT, cold laser, movement assessment, or any of the other skills that Josh uses, I am consistently blown away by the results he has produced and the depth of information that he presents. We are very aware just how talented Josh is, and are thankful that an expert with his far reaching abilities for injury resolution, recovery, and performance is available in Nashville to benefit our program at Vanderbilt.

As a distance runner staying healthy is imperative to success. This past winter I was entering my final track season at Belmont University, and I found myself in a desperate situation: I had an injury in my hip that progressed to the point where I could no longer train. After countless sports medicine, chiropractor, acupuncture, and massage therapy appointments I was finally recommended to The Renkens Center. Josh immediately knew what was going on in my hip and what to do to help it. In just two visits there was a dramatic difference in my hip and I was able to resume training and stay healthy through the season and ultimately qualify for NCAA’s.

I had been dealing with ice hockey related chronic pain in the right thigh, hip and hamstring for months. I had seen an internist, traditional chiropractic, general practitioner and an orthopedist, all of which were unable to provide a solution to my pain. That Josh was able to diagnose me in five to ten minutes and relieve 90 - 100% of my pain in 45 to 50 minutes is simply amazing. Having stability and balance returned to the effected muscle groups has allowed me to enjoy the game I am most passionate about again without regretting it afterward. Thanks, Josh!

Josh, thank you so much for working on my hip/glute problem on Friday. I took Saturday off and ran on Sunday. My legs felt better than they have in a LONG time. Everything seemed to be clicking along on all cylinders; it was amazing. Legs felt incredible and actually aligned for first time in a long time!!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough and will refer you to any of my running buddies... hands down!!!
- Marci Tharan
Josh, I have been extremely happy with the results after the ART. I really could not believe how effective it was and wish I had come to see you a long time ago. Like I said, I have been having real problems with my Achilles for a couple of months up to the point where I wasn’t able to run at all. For you to fix it in an hour just blows my mind.
- Nick Ray
Just wanted to say thanks for helping me out with my knee and foot. I have run twice (6.5 and 4 miles) since our work Tuesday and it felt good both times. No pain on the up hills. I am using the Tiger Tail and doing the exercises you gave me. The real test may be tomorrow at the park when I run the 11.2. I will let you know if there are any problems with it then. I now understand why so many of my running friends recommended you! Thanks again!
