I can’t thank Dave and his staff enough for being so kind and accommodating! I was visiting Siesta Key for a family vacation about 5 weeks after having hip arthroscopy surgery and per my physical therapy protocol I was expected to ride a stationary bike 3-4 times a day. I called Siesta Key Physical Therapy prior to my trip and they said that it wouldn’t be a problem for me to set this up with them. I was able to stop in multiple times a day during my vacation to ride the stationary bike for a very reasonable fee - much cheaper than any of the other options I had looked into. This allowed me

My son was having issues some muscular issues/pain when he was pitching for his high school BB team. Dave O. and the team at Siesta key Physical Therapy diagosed some "weakness" areas that needed to be strengthened to avoid injury over time. They developed a strengthening/stretching program for my son, focused on core muscles and improving flexibiltiy. My son is now pitching pain free and better than ever!!!

Five weeks before the Boston Marathon I was struggling to walk without limping due to a labral tear in my hip. I was able to get in to work with Dave for 3 sessions at Siesta Key PT for physical therapy and laser treatment. Dave gave me a treatment plan and I wasn’t just able to run the race, I ran it 11 minutes faster than the year before. I’m extremely grateful to Dave and the team at Siesta Key PT for getting me to the start line happy and healthy, but also for giving me the tools to manage my injury. I highly recommend this practice and if I ever experience injury in the future, they’ll

We recently visited Dr. Dave and the team at SRQ PT while we were in the Sarasota area for some unique health concerns that are effecting the arms and upper back. We only got to work with them for about three weeks, but we are so glad that we did. Dr. Dave was so caring and empathic to our situation and great wealth of knowledge and information. He put us at ease and provided professional and positive care. So down to earth and easy to talk to. We found some relief for the ailments and are continuing on the road to well being much more confidently than before we came to Dr. Dave. We wish that we

I cannot speak too highly of this team.
This is the second time that I have needed the professional help of Dave and his PT team. And a week later I am discharged almost 100% recovered from a severely torn calf muscle.
I was seen on time every time, and treated with compassion and concern.
What more could one ask for?
Highly recommended!

I love Siesta Key Physical Therapy. I broke my foot, and got my boot off five weeks ago. I’ve had physical therapy during that time and have become stronger. The staff is so kind and accommodating! My physical therapist is Jessica, and she is amazing!!! She is so encouraging, and I feel so much better. I have about a week more therapy to go, and I will miss going to this wonderful place! Thank you for everything Siesta Key PT!!!!!!!

I am a retired dentist and I know good from bad. I presented with 4 problem areas. The chiropractor was of no use. I changed to the one recommended by Siesta Key. Siesta Key Physical Therapy alleviated the problems. They are the best PT establishment that I have ever had the pleasure to use. THEY ARE NUMBER ONE!!!! Do not go anywhere else. They are knowledgeable and get results.

Siesta Key PT was the third physical therapy practice I had gone to. The first two had failed to achieve the results I needed to fully recover and after a second surgery I was growing concerned. Dave, the owner at Siesta Key PT, mapped out a course of treatment which was far more extensive than anyone had before. Three months later I feel as good as new! If your goal is to make a full recovery and have a true professional oversee and care for you then this is the right place! Dave and Amber went the extra mile every visit.
