Personalized Care from Our Team
While specializing in chronic pain relief through our innovative Facial and Muscular Body Recalibration Method, we recognize the uniqueness of each individual and their specific goals.

Throughout your journey, our caring staff will provide personalized attention and dedication, ensuring a comfortable experience and an effective care plan.
Our Proven 4-Phase Recovery Program
Our journey starts with Fascial Recalibration via Myofascial Release, focusing on correcting fascial distortions caused by years of compensating for pain. This crucial initial step includes unraveling the fascia, the connective tissue encasing muscles and organs, to reduce discomfort and pinpoint actual muscle stiffness. You’ll notice prompt relief and enhanced flexibility, laying the groundwork for more in-depth treatment. While Stage 1 provides immediate benefits and can markedly reduce pain, progressing to subsequent stages is advised for sustained enhancement.
Stage 2 is centered on detailed Muscle Recalibration using Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to tackle specific muscle tightness and rectify identified imbalances, such as pelvic rotation and trunk tilt. This thorough approach entails the release of approximately 200 muscles over a period of 8-10 weeks, aiming to enhance your body’s capability for essential activities (like walking, standing, sitting, and sleeping), lessen the reliance on pain medication, and regain the joy of engaging in favorite activities such as golf, tennis, travel, beach visits, gym workouts, or playing with grandchildren. This phase is essential for individuals dedicated to comprehensively addressing their chronic pain and securing enduring relief to improve their quality of life.
After achieving pain relief and body symmetry, we introduce home exercises tailored to maintain the flexibility and neutral alignment achieved through our Body Recalibration Method. These exercises are designed to preserve symmetry, rather than to increase flexibility, to ensure your body remains balanced and to deactivate your pain alarm system. Exercises are introduced at the 3rd stage to prevent the common experience of increased pain caused by exercises, often encountered in Traditional PT. This stage is crucial for maintaining the benefits of treatment and avoiding setbacks in your recovery journey.
The final stage is designed to smoothly reintegrate you into your favorite activities, ensuring you can participate without the fear of pain. It focuses on identifying and addressing any lingering biomechanical issues, which are often at the heart of your problem. This phase includes fine-tuning your treatment to match how your body reacts to heightened activity levels, pinpointing and resolving any remaining issues. The goal is to guarantee a complete return to functionality and enhance your enjoyment of life. This holistic strategy aims not only to alleviate pain but also to promote a lasting active lifestyle, improved health, and enhanced mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?

Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physical Therapy?
Florida is a Direct Access state. This statute allows an individual to receive physical therapy in Florida for 30 days without a prescription. After that period, individuals would need to obtain one from their primary care doctor to continue.
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physical therapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.
How long will my physical therapy sessions last?
Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on your condition and the types of techniques used. Your physical therapist will give you an estimate when you first arrive for your appointment.
Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?

Your physical therapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!
Will insurance cover my physical therapy?
It depends on your insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physical therapy, but you should check with your provider to determine coverage and any associated fees.
How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?
The frequency of visits will depend on your individual goals and condition, but typically it is recommended that patients attend 2-3 times per week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks in order to maximize results. Your therapist will provide more details during your initial appointment.
How long will it take for me to see results?

How will I know when I no longer need physical therapy?
