Where does it hurt?

Find your area. Each one has a target we measure on day one and retest before you leave us.

  1. 01

    Shoulder & arm

    Rotator cuff, tennis and pickleball elbow, the shoulder that stopped after a hundred casts.

    We rebuild overhead range first, then load the shoulder blade, then the rotation you need for the serve or the cast.

    • Rotator cuff
    • Frozen shoulder
    • Tennis elbow

    Goal: Elevation170°

  2. 02

    Knee & hip

    Runner’s knee, meniscus, tight hips, the stairs you started avoiding.

    Bend and straighten first, then single-leg strength, then the stride. We retest before the next race.

    • Runner’s knee
    • Meniscus
    • Hip pain

    Goal: Knee flexion135°

  3. 03

    Back & neck

    Desk neck, lifting-day backs, sciatica that wakes you at 3 am.

    We find what moves too little and what moves too much, then teach the spine to share the load.

    • Neck pain
    • Low back
    • Sciatica

    Goal: Neck rotation80°

  4. 04

    Foot & ankle

    Plantar fasciitis, sprains from the pickleball court, the ankle that never came back.

    Ankle range decides how the whole leg lands. We open it, then train balance on the surfaces you actually use.

    • Plantar fasciitis
    • Sprains
    • Achilles

    Goal: Dorsiflexion20°

  5. 05

    After surgery

    Knee or hip replacement, ACL, rotator cuff repair. We work from your surgeon’s protocol.

    Week by week targets, written down, shared with your surgeon when you want.

    • Joint replacement
    • ACL
    • Repairs

    Goal: Hip flexion at week 12120°

  6. 06

    Return to sport

    Cleared to walk is not cleared to play. We test hop, strength and balance against your other side.

    A sport test with a pass line: limb symmetry, not a feeling.

    • Running
    • Pickleball
    • Golf
    • Fishing

    Goal: Limb symmetry90%

Initial evaluation60 minutes, measurements, a written plan$145
Follow-up visit45 minutes, one on one$110

About

“Pain is the alarm. Range is the evidence.”

Dr. Elena Ruiz, PT, DPT (fictional founder) ran the Fort Myers half marathon on a bad knee and nobody could tell her how bad. So every visit here starts with a number.

    Measure

    Goniometer, strength testing and a movement screen. You leave visit one with your numbers on paper.

  2. 90°

    Move

    Hands-on work and guided movement to open the range. Nothing passive for more than a quarter of any visit.

  3. 180°

    Load

    Strength and sport-specific loading: the serve, the cast, the stride, the stairs. We retest before we discharge you.

FAQ

What people ask at the front desk before booking.

Do I need a referral?

Many patients come without one. Some insurance plans do require a referral for coverage, so we check before your first visit.

What should I wear?

Something you can move in. Shorts for a knee or hip, a tank or loose top for a shoulder. Bring your running shoes if running is the goal.

How long is a visit?

The evaluation is 60 minutes. Follow-ups are 45, always with the same therapist and always one on one.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the problem. After the evaluation we give you an estimate and the numbers we will use to judge progress. If a plan is not working by week three, we change it.

Do you take my insurance?

We bill most major plans and offer self-pay rates. Send a photo of your card and we verify coverage before you come in.

Can you work with my surgeon?

Yes. We follow your surgeon’s protocol, send progress notes when you ask us to, and flag anything that needs their eyes.

    Why your shoulder hurts after pickleball (and it is not the paddle)

    ReadThe paddle gets blamed. The shoulder blade usually deserves it.

    Most pickleball shoulders are not a paddle problem. They are a shoulder blade problem: it stops tilting up as the arm goes overhead, so the rotator cuff gets pinched on every reach. Three to four hundred reaches a session add up.

    Start by measuring how far you can lift the arm pain-free. Then train the muscles that rotate the blade, slow and light, before you add speed. If your number does not move in two weeks, book an evaluation.

    Heat, humidity and the Fort Myers long run: a recovery checklist

    ReadSummer training changes what your legs need afterwards.

    Long runs in July fatigue the legs differently: you sweat more, you cramp earlier and form falls apart in the last miles. After the run, replace fluids and salt, walk five minutes, and do ten slow calf and hip raises.

    Check one thing the next morning: can you bend the knee to the same angle as the day before? A loss of range that lasts more than 48 hours is worth a measurement, not a guess.

    Back from a knee replacement: what weeks 1 to 12 look like

    ReadTargets by week, so you know whether you are on track.

    Every surgeon has a protocol, but most share the same arc: first the swelling and the straight leg, then bending past 90 degrees, then walking without a limp, then stairs. Knowing the target for each week turns waiting into a plan.

    Ask your surgeon for the protocol and bring it to your evaluation. We measure bend and straighten every visit and write the number down, so progress is something you can see.
