How does programming at Florida Physio work?
The program is custom built and individualized based on your assessment, goals, and abilities. We are Physical Therapists and Personal Trainers that use a combination of in-person sessions and remote sessions through the Florida Physio App. If you have an injury, we start with a rehab plan. As you progress, we bridge the gap from rehab to golf performance/training. If you aren’t injured, we create a custom program to improve your flexibility, balance, strength, and speed for golf. Typically, physical therapy is done in-person with 1-on-1 attention to maximize results. Our golfers also meet in-person 1 to 2x weekly OR 1 to 2x monthly (hybrid plan) OR 100% online.
