History
Established in 2009.
Sanibel resident Rachel Tritaik, PT, LMT, CLT saw the need for a comprehensive out-patient physical therapy clinic with wellness services and opened Island Therapy Center in 2009. The boutique-style practice specialized in one-on-one physical therapy, massage therapy and Pilates services, hiring only experienced, licensed therapists for treatments. Despite destruction of the clinic during Hurricane Ian September, 2022, the Island Therapy Center team continued to provide services, first in patient's homes, and then at a satellite location in Fort Myers. The main clinic reopened in the Sanibel Promenade, 695 Tarpon Bay Road, in April, 2024 and continues to serve the Sanibel community, sponsoring Island events and non-profit organizations.
