FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers
One of the advantages of living here in Pelican Preserve is the abundance of many desired amenities and services in the area; indeed, there are way too many to list. But perhaps topping the list for many of us in this active community is easy access to physical therapy, as our forever- young minds write checks that our decades-old bodies can’t cash.
As a recurring patient at the local FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center, I was initially appreciative of its proximity, as it is easily accessible by bicycle or golf cart. Soon, however, I became an extremely satisfied customer, due to the highly skilled and personable staff.

Thousands of satisfied customers agree with my assessment:
I decided to pursue physical therapy at FYZICAL to relieve my lower back pain. I enjoyed everything from the therapists to the exercises. The team will work with you to get you back to feeling better. Before physical therapy, I was hurting all of the time and not able to do anything from the pain. Now, I'm feeling back to my normal self! I also learned at-home exercises to continue after therapy and made new friends! - Ronald
I decided to attend physical therapy to help manage my dizziness and imbalance. I enjoyed the personalized program that was designed specifically for me. I also enjoyed learning what I can do to reteach my brain to help decrease imbalance. Before physical therapy, I had some anxiety from the fear of falling. Now, I feel much more confident! The team did a great job explaining the cause of my symptoms to me so I fully understood what was going on in my brain. - Cindy
FYZICAL even offers a monthly newsletter filled with tips and information that is useful to most of us. As an example, the June newsletter discussed common causes and treatment of neck pain, outdoor workout ideas, and the benefits of “prehab.” In physical therapy, prehabilitation or "prehab" is used as a rehab program that occurs before surgery or injury instead of after the event. This is based on the concept that patients with a higher functional capacity will be better equipped to tolerate the surgery or injury. Studies have shown that patients with a higher level of physical well-being prior to surgery have decreased complications following surgery and improved outcomes. These improved outcomes include a decreased length of stay in the hospital, improved tolerance to exercise, higher quality of life, faster return to work, and decreased levels of disability, illness, and death. For athletes, prehab can be used as a means of injury prevention.
Initial contact with the company couldn't be easier, as you can set up appointments online at https://www.fyzical.com/southwest-fl. You can also call them at (239) 465-4880, or even walk in to request an assessment. So, for you excuse-mongers out there, I may not have eliminated all the reasons you have concocted for not trying physical therapy, but now we know that location, and lack of skilled therapists are no longer valid excuses. So, do yourself a favor, and head over to FYZICAL - you’ll be glad you did!
