  • How long will my treatment last?
    This is the most difficult question to answer because, it depends.... The length of your treatment will depend on your condition and your goals. Some people may only need a few sessions, while others may need several weeks or months of therapy. Since we use a hybrid method of treatment using our app to give you exercises at home, my patients usually only need 2-4 sessions per month. This method ensures you stay on track, receive the hands on care you need and ultimately, saves you time and money.

  • Do I need a referral from my doctor to receive physical therapy?
    In Florida you do not need a referral to be seen by a physical therapist. However, if after 30 days of therapy I do not see any improvements, I will refer you to a physician or orthopedic doctor to schedule a consult. Most clients who see me first and quickly after an injury, do not end up needing imaging or further referrals and will begin to see improvements after a few treatments sessions.

It is perfect for someone who wants to work out and exercise but does not know where to start or what exercises to do at the gym/home. - The Individualized Wellness program is a 4-12 week program designed for your specific needs in mind. It is perfect for someone who has a history of injuries, relative pain, just finished their physical therapy and wishes to exercise independently but with guidance, and has specific goals in mind like running a half marathon or losing weight etc. Both programs require a one time $10 app fee and for the first 3 months to be paid up front. After the first 3 months you can choose to pay month to month. This allows us to develop a routine and commitment to new habits for you to be successful.
