I came to Pursuit Physical Therapy with shoulder and elbow pain. My elbow was bothering me for over 3 years and after trying acupuncture and other treatments pain was still there. I couldn't touch my back because of the shoulder pain and after just one visit I was able to move it again. As a construction company owner, my job requires long hours of lifting and physically demanding work, and the pain made that difficult. At Pursuit, the personal attention of Maryann ,focus on finding the root cause of my pain truly set them apart. I felt relief after my first session, and now I'm able to lift and work pain‑free again. If you're on the fence, do it--you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.Thank you again Maryann for your professionalism! read more

In Pursuit of Excellence I am so grateful for Pursuit Therapy and particularly Ms. Maryann Daniels, PT, MCNT, IDN Two months after I had a total knee replacement, I had a slip and fall accident and ruptured the quadriceps tendon on my other knee. This required a straight leg brace for six weeks and crutches for another month. All this significantly impacted my ability to properly rehab the knee with the replacement, as well as the knee with the quadriceps damage. I was referred to Pursuit Therapy and Maryann Daniels by a friend, which was a true blessing because her approach was professional, personal, and hands-on. She was focused on pain management and rehabilitation, which was a balance that I did not receive at the traditional rehab center I went to after surgery. Maryann's personal care and custom rehab program, along with sessions of Shockwave Therapy, not only reduced the pain but allowed a rapid advance towards healing and getting back to my normal workout routine. Pursuit Therapy has my strong recommendation without hesitation for anyone dealing with pain after surgery who is looking for a focused plan and real results. Brian A Walsh read more

My care and experience with MaryAnn at Pursuit Physical Therapy has been outstanding. Recovering from total knee replacement isn't easy, especially with lingering pain on the outer knee. MaryAnn's knowledge, patience and encouragement (along with shockwave therapy)made all the difference. She truly listens, explains the purpose behind every exercise, and pushes you to improve safely. I've seen real progress and feel stronger and more confident each week. If you need physical therapy and want someone who truly cares about your recovery and success, MaryAnn is exceptional. I'm not completely pain free, but thanks to MaryAnn I am well on my way! read more

I have a diagnosed herniated disc at C4-5, and was having some neck/shoulder blade pain. I was highly recommended to Maryanne by a close friend that has also had some neck issues. I trusted his opinion and I was not disappointed. I have just finished my fourth session with her over the last 2 yrs, each time included approximately 4-5 treatments. She offered several forms of therapy, including dry needling, cupping therapy, manipulation, and stretching. After all sessions I have been pain free and remain pain free at this time. If you are on the fence about Physical therapy and really need treatment, go see Maryanne and Pursuit Physical therapy. Trust me you will be happy after a few session of her personalized care. Satisfied Patient, Mark Choy. read more

I had an excellent experience at Pursuit Physical Therapy working with Maryann. When I first came in, I was dealing with right hip pain, lower back pain, upper back pain, and also had concerns about my pelvic floor. The discomfort was affecting my day-to-day activities, and I really wanted to address the root cause rather than just temporarily relieve the symptoms. Before coming to Pursuit, I had been seeing a chiropractor but wasn't finding lasting relief. The sessions with Maryann were truly life-changing and were what finally moved the needle in actually fixing the issue. I found Pursuit on Google, and what initially drew me to them was their focus on identifying and fixing the root cause of the problem rather than simply putting a band-aid over the pain. From the very first visit, Maryann took the time to thoroughly evaluate what was going on and explain how everything was connected. The care I received felt very personalized. Maryann was kind, patient, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. She not only worked with me during our sessions but also provided exercises to do at home and shared helpful tips on posture and daily habits so I could continue improving and prevent the pain from coming back. I actually started feeling better very quickly. After the first session I already felt about 70% better, and over the course of six sessions I continued to improve. I can now walk for longer periods of time and go about my daily activities without the pain I was experiencing before. If you are on the fence about seeking care at Pursuit Physical Therapy, I highly recommend seeing Maryann. If you want to truly heal, feel like yourself again, and learn how to prevent the issue from recurring instead of just managing symptoms, this is the place to go. The level of care and attention provided here is truly unmatched. read more

After a complicated recovery from a femur fracture and later hip replacement, I returned to Pursuit Physical Therapy and worked with Maryann Daniels. She is personable and highly skilled, developing individualized treatment plans and consistently reassessing progress to ensure the program is effective and safe. Her expertise took the guesswork out of my rehabilitation, addressed a leg length difference form surgery and helped me walk normally again and without pain. From the very first phone call through every session, Pursuit Physical Therapy has been professional, supportive and excellent. Thank-you Maryann and team for my recovery and quality of life I am able to enjoy. read more

I've suffered from migraines since I was a young child, and after having children of my own, they returned in a completely different and debilitating way. I've tried everything--self-injections, oral medications, acupuncture--and still found myself struggling. After doing extensive research, I discovered Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy and saw how many migraine sufferers he had helped. I decided to give it a try, and I'm so grateful I did. From the very first evaluation, he noticed significant tightness in my neck, and I informed him about my cervical disc disease. He created a personalized plan that included strengthening exercises and dry needle therapy. The results have been incredible. I feel an immediate release of pressure during the dry needling, and my headaches have improved by about 90%. I can now manage them with more very minimal medication--something I was never able to do before. I'm no longer living in excruciating pain. My honest suggestion: try Ron Miller and experience it for yourself! Thanks to his care, I'm able to maintain an active, fulfilling life again. read more

Have come here many times for shoulder, feet, neck and hip pain. Each time I have received expert care and healing. Ron is personable and so are all who work with him. Currently seeing Dr. Michael Fabrick. I love his thoroughness in how he listens and applies needed exercises. I thought I may be suffering from getting older, but it turns out I had been overextending muscles to the detriment of others. I'm feeling better and I'm just a little over halfway through. Very pleased. read more

A Truly Life-Changing Experience -- They Saved Me From Surgery. I first came to see Dr. Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy after months of terrifying, disabling pain that began suddenly in December 2024. It started as a sharp, stabbing pain in my lower back that came out of nowhere--I had never experienced anything like it. The pain eventually shifted into my right hip and lower back, lingering through January-July 2025 while I was doing a weight-lifting fitness program. It never fully went away, but I was able to function. Everything changed in August-September 2025. The pain returned ten times worse. Those months were an absolute nightmare. I could barely sleep, waking up multiple times a night in agony, sometimes feeling almost paralyzed in the mornings. I couldn't lie on my sides, and I would drag myself out of bed every day just hoping the pain would subside enough to get through the morning. Why I chose Pursuit Physical Therapy I chose Pursuit because Ron was the only person who took the time for a truly thorough evaluation--and he immediately suspected a herniated disc even before I had any MRI or imaging. He ran multiple tests, listened to every detail, and gave me a real diagnosis long before any doctor or scan confirmed it. His accuracy and expertise were unbelievable! How Pursuit's care was different Before returning to Ron, I tried AdventHealth PT because a doctor (who doesn't usually recommend surgery) referred me there. Unfortunately, they started me on strengthening exercises right away despite me explaining that I couldn't sleep, was in constant pain, and sometimes felt like calling 911. Within days, my pain shot from a 5 to a 10. My nights were unbearable--I slept with ibuprofen just to survive a few hours. Once the MRI finally came back, it showed a large 8mm disc herniation pressing on a nerve, causing weakness in my right foot. I nearly had a foot drop. A spine surgeon said surgery was necessary--even warning me about possible long-term nerve damage and frightening complications. But Ron assured me that once the pain goes down, my strength will return and that I might not need a surgery. That confidence came from expertise, not guesswork. His approach was the opposite of the big corporate PT clinics: * Pain relief first * Personalized treatment * No rushing into strengthening before the body is ready * A real plan, real explanations, and real care * Fantastic Home Program Exercises that he gave me even after my initial evaluation visit (real sign of a great PT) How fast I experienced results After just 2-4 sessions with Ron, my pain went from debilitating to 70% better. From waking up in paralyzing pain to waking up naturally for the first time in months--something I honestly thought would never happen again. By session 6, I was completely pain-free. I continued to 12 sessions just to rebuild strength safely and correctly, using everything Ron taught me. What I can do now that I couldn't before Today, I'm back to: * DB lifting (gentle) * Exercising * And most importantly--living my normal life again, completely pain-free My right foot strength has returned about 95%, and I'm continuing the strengthening techniques Ron taught me to get even better. What I would say to someone deciding whether to start treatment at Pursuit If you are in pain and unsure where to go--do not waste your time with large, generalized PT chains. They nearly made my condition worse and accelerated me toward surgery. Ron's expertise, honesty, and individualized care saved me from spinal surgery to remove herniated disc (there are tons of complications after doing it, by the way, where you are not able to sit for months!, etc.) that both my conservative doctor and the surgeon recommended. He will never risk your health--if you truly need surgery, Ron will tell you. But if physical therapy can fix it, he will show you exactly how and walk with you every step of the way. Pursuit Physical Therapy is the reason I avoided surgery, avoided nerve damage, and can now live pain-free. I wish I had gone to him from the very beginning. read more

A few months ago I sustained a shoulder injury that landed me in the emergency walk in clinic with a pain scale of 8. When the doctor recommended physical therapy I knew exactly who to call as I had used Pursuit once before with excellent results. The next day I called Pursuit and spoke with Jade who was so kind, professional and empathetic to my situation. Dr. Miller took his time to listen and fully understand my injury. He gave me a detailed and easy to follow home program to go along with our in person treatments. In 6 treatment I went from not being able to perform upper body workouts to my full, regular workout routine with no pain. Thanks again Dr. Miller and team for getting me back on my feet once again! read more

Pursuit Physical Therapy is definitely a 10* place if you're in need of PT. After suffering a fall and left with back and hip pain that left me barely able to stand straight and walk, I was referred to MaryAnn at Pursuit Physical Therapy. Four months of agony that included six weeks of PT with another local organization, I finally found some relief after our FIRST session. I was walking and near pain free after 4 visits. After completing more sessions to help strengthen the effected areas, I couldn't be happier. Because of the success of treatment, I decided to have MaryAnn try working on my arm. This area has been in constant 24/7 pain from nerve damage almost 14 years ago. After a little trial and error, MaryAnn found a combination of therapies that have helped reduce my daily pain levels from a consistent 8 to averaging between 5 and 6. To me this is a HUGE change to my daily life. If you are in any type of pain, from a fall, accident or just from aging, consider making a call to Pursuit Physical Therapy. They listen and work hard to find what works best for you. read more

I would give the trainers and education a 5 star rating. I would give the billing system a 1 star. This is the only physical therapy company I know of that will charge your insurance for each individual exercise you are instructed to do. So each visit was charged differently, I thought therapy was billed for the time they spent with you, not if I did jumping jacks that day and a sprint my insurance was billed for 2 different therapy. I had been asking from the get go what was going on with insurance and found out that they did not have the correct number in the computer which caused a delay into finding out that this was their billing practice and ended up with a high balance by the time billing was corrected. My opinion would be completely different had the billing practice was explained at the first visit. I walked away feeling they took advantage of insurance billing and I ended up paying a large bill. read more

I am an obese 67 yo male with very pronounced diastasis recti (DR), from essentially my sternum to my naval. This is prominently demonstrated when I lay on my back and the crowning approaches 2 inches. From what I have read, this abdominal weakness can be corrected with core strengthening. I researched physical therapists in my area that had a good understanding of this phenomenon and Pursuit Physical Therapy appeared to have the best qualifications and reviews. It was important to me that I perform exercises that were beneficial and not detrimental to this condition. My goal was to have this completely resolved within a year. I met with Mrs. Maryann Daniels. Maryann is quite pleasant, has experience with men with DR (not just post-pregnancy females), and was patient and thorough in evaluating my personal situation. After completing her initial evaluation, we immediately started various exercises and stretching with a focus on proper abdominal bracing, breathing and weight management (bands, dumbbells and kettle bells). Maryann provided detailed descriptions of the motions to be performed at home via email with links for videos to help with form. She was always available for follow-up or questions in between our weekly sessions. Over a few weeks' time we began to evolve our methods, exercises and priority of focus based upon my progress and abilities. After approximately six weeks I discussed moving from the home environment into the gym environment as I wanted to join my son in working out. Maryann fully supported and encouraged this. We reviewed each exercise, on either machines or with dumbbells and a bench, and discussed the benefits and risks of each toward improving my condition. I have now been going to the gym for weeks and am confident on how to brace, breath and move as I strive to fully eliminate my DR and achieve a normal core again. I am extremely appreciative for Maryann's extensive knowledge, listening skills and ease of communicating what is important when performing the proper exercises. In addition, I am adding a stronger focus on diet to improve my overweight condition and am confident I can achieve my goal of being DR-free by the end of 2025. If you have DR and are looking for answers to restore your abdominal core, I would feel confident in recommending Maryann to help with your goals. (R. Ouellet Feb 2025) read more

I am here to talk about MaryAnn Daniels from Pursuit Physical Therapy. Her work has given me my life back and continues to every time I see her. I started seeing her about 2 months ago after I was suffering in debilitating nerve pain down my left shoulder and arm for over a year and a half. I went to every Dr possible and had 6 cervical epidurals in one year to help with pain which was only shortlived because it actually wasn't my neck. All the orthopedic and neuro surgeons kept saying that I needed surgery. But yet said they couldn't confirm what disc the issue was coming from. I found myself at Pursuit and Mary Ann began digging relentlessly to try and figure out where it was all coming from. After a couple sessions, she finally found the culprit of it all and began unraveling and loosening the stagnant lymph under my arm and loosening the tightness while continuing to help strengthen. I am here to say that I have no pain at all anymore and we have now moved on to my knees where in one session I have significant less pain. I have been a choreographer for decades and abused my body to no end. Mary Ann is literally putting me back together and I am feeling better than I have in years. She is the BEST physical therapist I have ever had work on me and I have seen many top ones throughout my career. There are no words for the gratitude I have for you and your work...thank you thank you thank you! You changed my life read more

I had a complex surgical procedure after which I began suffering from painful sciatica. After a web search for providers who work with sciatica patients, I found Pursuit Physical Therapy (PPT). My therapist was Maryann, and she immediately began attacking the problem. After a couple of sessions, the pain was noticeably reduced and by the beginning of the fourth session was gone completely. It has now been more than two months since I worked with Maryann and thankfully the pain has not returned. Even though I came in for a sciatica problem I was so impressed with my progress that I asked Maryann to look at one of my shoulders which, for quite some time, had been causing much discomfort. It was determined I had frozen shoulder. After a few sessions, Maryann was able to free the shoulder and increase its motion significantly. Besides being incredibly happy with the results I was able to obtain at PPT there was one additional item which was important to me. Unlike every other PT organization I have ever worked with, during my one-hour appointment at PPT, Maryann worked with me and me alone. Her entire time was spent with me for the full hour. This is far more effective than the traditional model where your therapist might be working with you but, at the same time, an additional patient or two. Pursuit Physical Therapy is a great organization and Maryann is a terrific therapist. I recommend both without absolutely no reservation. read more

My chronic pain was controlling every single aspect of my life - in reality, I no longer felt alive. However, once Maryann completed the initial evaluation and created a customized physical therapy plan, I could finally feel my body gaining back the strength and resilience it had lost! Having served as a jet mechanic in the U.S. Navy, my body truly suffered continuous wear and tear. In the last handful of years, my quality of life and activity had been severely reduced due to lumbar strain, radiculopathy, and pain in my sacroiliac joint. In turn, these issues forced me to overcorrect, which affected my posture and caused uneven shoulder blades and incessant pain in my rhomboids. Maryann's intricately tailored 15-session treatment plan became the highlight of my week. During each session, Maryann provided detailed information regarding my problems, their origins, and specific exercises to help each affected muscle group. She also thoroughly explained the importance of body mechanics, weaving additional exercises into my treatment plan and teaching me how to sit, stand, bend, lift, carry, and sleep. Finally, I have my life back and I can get back to doing the things I love! Thank you, Maryann, and thanks to the entire Pursuit Physical Therapy team! read more

I was recently treated by Kayla at Pursuit for recovery from rotator cuff surgery. I chose to come to Pursuit specifically because of Kayla's reputation for patience, creativity, and ability to get you to do things you don't think you're ready to do. She more than lived up to her reputation! I am nearly 12 months out from surgery, but my recovery has been hindered by several family crises that distracted me from my initial PT program. Kayla listened carefully to me as I described the discomfort and range of motion (RoM) limitations I've been experiencing. She then (gently) poked and prodded me across my entire upper body, paying attention to parts I didn't think could be involved (e.g. my neck). As a result of her assessment, Kayla has focused her efforts on loosening my extraordinarily tight neck muscles (who knew?!), gently but steadily challenging me to extend my RoM and simultaneously begin to strengthen my atrophied arm muscles. The work is hard, but Kayla makes you believe she won't ask you to do anything you can't/shouldn't do. And, she knows just when to give you a break and massage your aching muscles. I couldn't ask for a better rehab partner. In addition, the atmosphere at Pursuit is collegial and supportive. As a patient, I know I'm getting the benefit of not only Kayla's experience, but also that of her talented and experienced colleagues. read more

Caring. Thorough. Professional. Dedicated. Expert. Effective. These and many more superlatives are well-deserved for Kayla (my primary therapist) and the team at Pursuit who've helped me recover from a complex series of back and hip issues. I shudder to imagine where I'd be health-wise if I hadn't found Kayla. Starting with basic exercises, she helped me rebuild my strength and muscles, especially my crucially poor core strength that lay at the root of my problems. Over time, she added many and varied (and more challenging!) exercises, also branching out to other problematic muscles, such as my glutes, performis, etc. Over the decades, I've had a LOT of PT, but never before PT that was so helpful and so lasting in its effectiveness. One reason for this: Kayla not only 'gave a man [me] a fish,' she taught me to fish, encouraging and helping me to develop a consistent home exercise program. While previous physical therapists had at times temporarily helped me get pain relief, that relief quickly faded after the sessions ended. Kayla taught me what to do afterwards...and how to do it. Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention her amazing ability to find the specific muscle causing severe pain and soothingly massage the pain away. Sure, it's temporary, but oh what a gift to be pain-free! read more

I had been experiencing back pain for a few months. I went to both my chiropractor and massage therapist a few times to specifically work on this pain and unfortunately it did not go away. I remembered dry needling took care of my neck pain I had many years ago. I searched for a physical therapist in our area that did this and found Pursuit Physical Therapy. I was assigned to Dr. Fabrick. He determined quickly the pain was being caused by my neck. In addition to adjustments, dry needling and cupping he also gave me exercises to do at home. After five weeks, the pain was completely gone. I highly recommend Dr. Fabrick and Pursuit Physical Therapy who want to find the cause and solution to their pain without the use of medication.

Thank you to Dr Ron and his team at Pursuit Physical Therapy for "fixing" me! After 3-year recurring knee pain escalated to swelling earlier this year, Ron successfully located the source of the weakness so we could address it once and for all. I am grateful for Ron's straightforward explanations and evolving care plan to get me back to fighting fit! I understand my physiology so much better now as well as the steps I need to take to keep my knees healthy and pain-free! The Pursuit Team was a pleasure to work with - special shout-out to Jade too! Thank you! read more

I went to see Pursuit Physical Therapy for Hip pain. I've had pain for about 5 years, just thought it was nerve damage from a surgery. The pain got worse and worse. So after having an MRI done, the doctors said I had a labral tear. I wanted to go to someone who specializes in athletic therapy, because to me this was a sports injury and I tend to be a very active person. Not being from the area, we Googled Physical Therapist near me and we found a few, but Pursuit Physical Therapy looked the best from Reviews. So we went to the webpage and checked out their training and were excited about the training they had. I've done therapy before and from the start I was amazing. I emailed on the weekend and got a response back on the weekend. It shocked me, in a good way. On my first appointment Dr Martin took the time to sit and listen to my issues. Mind you I was hurting so bad (I had a cortisone injection right before going). It was a rough start, but Dr. Martin was awesome! After a couple visits we decided it was more of hip flexor issues. AFter about a week and a half I was back up to 10K steps a day and a half hour every other day of Pickleball. Had some bad days because of overdoing it, but that was my fault. Lol Due to not being from the area and having to leave before my 8 weeks. Not 100% better yet, but I am getting there. I did just do a 3 mile hike in Kentucky with no issues! Dr. Martin gave me a program to do at home and it is helping! For anyone in the Orlando area and needs physical therapy I highly recommend Pursuit Physical Therapy! When you find a Physical Therapy that is willing to listen to your issues, push's ya to just the right level, and treats you like a real person (not just another patient) why would you go anywhere else? read more

I'm so glad and lucky that I found Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy. A family member of mine recommended that I see Ron. I travel over 1:30 h to see Ron, and he is sooooo worth it. Ron is extremely knowledgeable, flexible, highly dependable, truly and genuinely cares for his patients, he puts the patient first, he understands and listens and works really hard for your best interest all while keeping you happy and comfortable. And provides excellent customer service. I know over 7 other people that went to Ron and they all agree that he is uniquely excellent in his field and that they are permanently pain free with his help. I went to Ron for two very different conditions, first condition was 4 years ago (2016) and the second condition was this year (2020). The first: I had been suffering from server and chronic lower back pain for OVER 10 years, it's so painful that my right leg would feel numb sometimes, and the pain would wake me up at night crying. I've seen so many doctors, ALL the types of chiropractors, I've traveled to "so called" experts to have a normal life where I could walk again without limping, I also tried acupuncture, massage therapist, you name it! Some of them made it worse and some helped temporarily, but my Symptoms continued to torture me and my pain was increasing as more time passed. A family member recommended that I go see Ron, and by then I was tired of being everyone's guinea pig, so I refused but I'm so grateful that she pushed me to go and actually took me by the hand and went there. When I met Ron, he ran a couple of tests on me and spotted the exact flaws and told me that I would be pain free for the rest of my life if I followed his instructions, he gave me an insanely small time period (4-6 weeks), I initially didn't believe him, little did I know that I was finally gonna be walking again, pain free and limp free. I cried from joy 4 weeks later and I'm so thankful and grateful to Ron for that. My visits to Ron might have been limited (once a week, with a daily "temporary" home program), but I was finally pain free for the first time in over a decade and this time I was pain free for good! His excellence didn't stop there. The second: A couple of years later, I got Carpal Tunnel on BOTH my hands, the pain was so bad that it extended to my hands and forearms. I went from doctor to doctor (over 6 doctors, did an MRI, had an x-ray, had massages ... etc). The last doctor was a very good hand orthopedic that had really good reviews, he recommended that I go for physical therapy with someone that he recommended at Select Physical Therapy, and although I felt improvement with her (going twice a week for 2 months). I chose to go to her cause my copay with her was cheap. Overall, I was improving but I barely improved, it was very slow and gradual. By the time my subscribed sessions ended. I still couldn't use my hands and I still had 70% of the pain left. My family member reminded me of Ron again, so I decided to invest into going back to Ron. After all, these are my hands! I couldn't work or do anything without them. And I didn't want the risks that accompany the surgery that coulD have fixed the problem. Anyhow, boy was I lucky that I did, (two weeks of once a week sessions with him and a home program) and all my carpal tunnel symptoms were gone. I had been suffering with my hands since March 2020, and two weeks with him in November 2020 and all my symptoms were gone, I wish I went to him as soon as I got it and cut the chain of doctors. I definitely recommend Ron! He is completely worth it! He is a true hidden Gem in the physical therapy world. And Ron, if you are reading this. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I wish everyone was honest and dedicated in helping their patients like you are. Thank you thank you thank you so much! read more

Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy worked his magic and addressed my pain complaints. This time it was lower back pain, for which Ron prescribed specific stretching exercises. The combination of doing my home exercise regimen, and two sessions with Ron, addressed my symptoms. I'm still blown away as to how quickly he got me back to normal functioning. At this point, when I have any musculoskeletal issues, I get an evaluation from Pursuit, prior to going to my orthopedist! So Glad he and the rest of the team are available. Robert London MD read more

I was referred to Maryann at Pursuit Physical Therapy from a close friend of mine who has been dealing with back and neck pain for several years. I had a diagnosis of a degenerative cervical disc and was having severe upper back pain and a lot of tingling down my left arm. Maryann took over and started my treatment on day one and I was feeling immediate relief on the car ride home. She gave me some tips on posture and driving, which really helped my upper back pain immediately. I received some dry needling and other forms of treatments that relieved my painful symptoms very quickly. Over the course of my five treatments, I have no upper back pain at the moment and only have some very mild tingling sensations in my fingers from time to time when I really extend my neck. I drive a lot for work but now I can drive for hours with no upper back pain or tingling sensation down my arm. I would really advise anyone who is on the fence about Pursuit Physical therapy to go see Maryann, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Maryann! Mark Choy RN BSN. read more

I was referred to Dr. Fabrick by a friend. He has great knowledge of sports injuries. I play tennis and while on the court I tweaked my knee which later caused pain when walking. He told me I was using my knees too much and not hip strength. At the first visit with Dr. Fabrick, he examined, put me through some exercises and determined the injury. It was a mal tracked patella due to a tight thigh and weak hip. He at that time created a plan to strengthen the hip and lessen the thigh tightness. He gave me exercises and stretches to do at home and at therapy. Pain went away pretty quickly with therapy. I was impressed with the purposeful plan Dr. Fabrick created. And I appreciated that there was an end to therapy in sight although he encouraged further exercises at home. He was so personable and I really enjoyed my visits with him. I will highly recommend Dr. Fabrick to my tennis friends! read more

I was experiencing low back pain from a previous injury years ago as well as dealing with a weak pelvic floor from giving birth twice. I researched physical therapists who had a pelvic floor specialist and Maryann was highly recommended. I had five sessions with Maryann and she helped me with every area I was concerned with and truly took the time to help me strengthen my body where I needed it most. My low back is feeling much better and I now know what to do if I were to hurt it again. My pelvic floor is also stronger and I no longer have incontinence issues like I did before. She has given me lifelong stretches and exercises that are invaluable to me! I would absolutely recommend Maryann as well as the entire Pursuit physical therapy practice! read more

I started at Pursuit for hip/back pain that I have had for over 8 months. Jessica was very detailed with her evaluation and explained findings and causes for my pain. It was great that after 2 sessions I could play tennis for 1.5 hours with no pain, something that had not happened for 8 months :) She was great with communication and checking in to make sure the home program was working for me. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone that is not sure where to go. read more

I injured and then re-injured my upper back/neck working out to the point that I could barely turn my head to check my blind spot while driving. After taking 2 months off from any weight training a friend of mine recommended Ron Miller at Pursuit Physical Therapy. He said he had a great experience with them, that they worked with him outside of insurance and that they were reasonably priced and well worth the cost. I was sold. On my first visit I was very impressed with Ron's knowledge of the body and how seemingly unrelated muscles and joints (unrelated as far as I knew anyway) could have an impact on others. After going over a few things, setting my baselines and doing some stretches and exercises, Ron gave me a home workout plan for the next week. He also told me he thought he'd have me pain free in 6 sessions. It only took 5. Going to Pursuit has truly changed my life. After quickly addressing my initial pain complaint, Ron worked with me on some other chronic pain issues I'd had for at least a decade (left shoulder and lower back) and alleviated those as well. Going into therapy I expected it to take much longer than it did but I am back to my regular exercise routine, golfing, surfing and just generally living pain free. I would highly encourage anyone in need of physical therapy to check out Pusuit. I can't say enough good things about them. read more

After giving birth twice, I started experiencing incontinence every time I sneezed or coughed. It was affecting my daily life, so when I saw an ad from Pursuit, I knew it was time to take action. I worked with Maryann for six sessions and saw a significant improvement. She taught me proper breathing techniques and how to control my body when I needed to cough or sneeze, so I wouldn't leak anymore. The workout was intense every time I met with her, and I now continue to do stretches and exercises at home to maintain full control over my body. Pursuit's guidance was invaluable in helping me regain my confidence and take control of my life. read more

1. What brought you in to see me? Pain stemming from a college cheerleading accident, 25 years prior. 2. Why did you choose Pursuit Physical Therapy? Recommendation from a trusted professional and friend. 3. How is the care you received different from normal/ previous care? The unique treatment for each area I needed help with was nothing I had ever experienced before with techniques I hadn't heard of. I have been to well over 3 dozen physicians, alternative treatments, therapists, surgeries, medications, etc over the years. No one has done what he has. 4. How fast did you experience results? The first day but long lasting within a couple of weeks and the couple of months I was there solidified what he was doing to retrain my body and put things back where they belonged. You'll understand more what that feels like when you receive treatment. 5. What can you do now pain free that you had difficulty before? I don't have many limits if there is something I would want to do. Aside from saying something like, 'I can now do triathlons every weekend!' I'll say that I can now walk freely around my neighborhood, sit in church for over an hour and be a passenger in a car without pain. I am back to exercising and have added tennis into my life for the first time and am able to truly participate and enjoy it. If I feel any pain I know exactly what to do at home to fix it immediately with the techniques I have been trained with. 6. What would you say to someone in pain on the fence about starting treatment at Pursuit? Ron sincerely cares about your pain and the why behind it. He WILL find out why and he will fix it. Since then I have referred my daughter and she referred her employer. Everyone is on their way to healing for the first time in so many years. It feels frustrating to know that there is someone out there who had the techniques and answers but most everyone else treats patients the same way or with only what they believe their speciality will do. This is absolutely unique to you and I am finally free from a debilitating life. read more

I've been in pain for longer than I can remember. I've suffered from back pain for years since I was 18. In 2016 I injured myself and ended up having to have small parts of bone removed through laminectomy surgery. After the surgery the nerve pain was reduced but I still suffered. I heard of Pursuit Physical Therapy from a friend and I decided to give it a try. After the first month of working with Ron I found the exercises that enabled me to essentially chase the pain away. Just doing my daily exercises keeps away the pain and this has given me so much power over my recovery. I'm am the best I have ever been since my surgery and I thank Ron for that. Thanks Ron! read more

Dr. Michael Fabrick brought me back from facing serious spinal fusion surgery and got my pain level down from a 9 to a 0 in less than 6 weeks. I had debilitating sciatic nerve pain caused by a spinal fracture and protruding discs between L3-L4 and L4-L5. I am a tennis player and could not enjoy the activity I love the most, nor could I even stand or walk for more than 2 minutes at a time. I had undergone months of pain mgt. and "one size fits all" physical therapy at a well-known hospital system in Orlando to no avail, and was advised I needed spinal fusion back surgery. I found Pursuit Therapy when I googled sciatic nerve treatment. Admittedly, when I read the testimonials, I was skeptical. It just sounded too good to be true. Having nothing to lose, I gave them a shot as a last-ditch effort before surrendering to surgery. It was literally one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life! My very first appointment was an evaluation with Dr. Michael Fabrick, a well-known tennis pro physio (check him out on My Tennis Life on the Tennis Channel)! He immediately gave me hope and, by the end of the initial 90-minute eval, he told me he could help me recover and play tennis again without surgery. I saw Michael 2x per week for 6 weeks and "graduated" from the program yesterday. I have my life back!!! I am lifting weights and ready to start tennis again. Words do no justice in describing what Dr. Fabrick and Pursuit Therapy have done for my mind, body and spirit. Not only am I pain free now, but I have a maintenance plan for the future so I can avoid ever being back in the same predicament again. My experience has been incredible and worth every cent. I assure you that the testimonials on this website are all true - they are incredible professionals, their skill-levels are UNMATCHED and they change lives every day! Believe it. Go there. Get your life back too! read more

I've suffered with severe headaches/migraines for over 10 years. I've been to 3 different chiropractors and 2 neurologists and an oral surgeon. I've been to the ER and had multiple MRIs and CTs. I've tried several different diets and supplements. Not to mention all of the different drugs the Drs have tried on me. Some of them with terrible side effects. I've been through PT and massage therapy. I've even tried spinal decompression and acupuncture. I felt like my life was essentially over. I couldn't even go on vacation without losing whole days to the headaches and vomiting. There was no rhyme or reason. No real triggers. I would get them at all times of the day and night. I was so depressed. Then I read a book about a new therapy called dry needling. I googled it and happened upon Pursuit Therapy with Dr. Ron. I thank God every single day. Ron has changed my life. Literally. I'm totally off all of the Gabapentin. And I went from taking 2-3 Imitrex a week to only 4 in TEN weeks. The clinic is very clean, and everyone is very professional. And it's one on one treatment. No switching to different therapist or sharing a therapist with several different patients at the same time. It took about 4 weeks to start breaking the cycle. After that there was steady progress. I can't believe how great it feels to be normal again. I'm telling you that your health is your life. You owe it to yourself to live life to the fullest and you can't do that while in pain. Pursuit Therapy can help. I can't recommend them enough. The difference in my life is incredible. read more

Trey was very knowledgeable and his training was effective. He takes the time to teach you as well as applying his knowledge to a speedy recovery. I couldn't have recovered with out his guidance after visiting several other therapists that failed me. read more

1. What brought you in to Pursuit? Extreme shoulder pain limited my ability to work out and also impacted daily activities. 2. Why did you choose Pursuit Physical Therapy? I have had great experiences with Ron and Cathy for previous injuries. 3. How is the care you received different from normal/ previous care? The care presented a clear alternative to surgery. While I was skeptical about my opportunity to improve with Physical Therapy, the results spoke for themselves. 4. How fast did you experience results? Cathy assisted me with a modified workout routine that I could perform while rehabbing my shoulder. I was able to do many of the exercises that aggravated my shoulder within two months after starting physical therapy. 5. What can you do now pain free that you had difficulty before? I am able to do many exercise routines such as bench press and pull ups that I could not do without severe shoulder pain or a grinding in my shoulder. 6. Would you recommend others to go to Pursuit Physical Therapy? Absolutely! read more

Dr Miller has been a great find. I am a dentist and was suffering from bad back pain that I thought was more serious than it actually was. He was able to educate me and fix my issue the first two visits. He was extremely honest with his approach. Visiting Ron is always a pleasure and continue to see him frequently for maintenance. Of course, doing my home exercises is a must and Ron gives a plethora of exercise examples to use. If you are looking for an answer for a muscle or skeletal issue causing pain, immobility, or weakness, pursuit is the answer! read more

I had a lingering back injury from a fall several years ago. Finally upon having an MRI I discovered I had slipped discs. I had an initial therapy session and was blown away with the professionalism and care. The level of relief after the first appointment was immense. I highly recommend this company for Physical Therapy. read more

I went to Pursuit Physical Therapy for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis. I had been seeing another large well known physical therapy group for over a month but my pain was getting worse (a lot worse) and therefore I was afraid that surgery would be in my future. Ron's office was totally different. He did a thorough evaluation of my pain and what might be the cause of the problem. What makes his practice so unbelievably different is the one-on-one treatment time. Ron literally is working with you for an hour and only you! At the previous group I went to, the therapist saw 3-4 people at a time. With Ron, I was the only patient and his focus was 100% on getting me back on my feet (pun intended!). He found treatment paths to success that I was comfortable with and he had a very methodical plan to get me back to being pain free without surgery. I also appreciated his texts in between appointments just to check in and see how I was doing. In one month I went from a feeling of despair (due to poor treatment practices of previous therapist) to knowing that I would become pain free. I've heard of people suffering with plantar fasciitis for a year or even more but Ron had me back to my normal workout routine in only 4.5 months. It would have taken even less time if I had gone to him first instead of the other place. While getting treated for the plantar fasciitis, I also managed a slight tear in my rotator cuff. Again, Ron went thru a healing and strengthening process that had me back to daily lap swims in just a few weeks. I enthusiastically recommend Ron and Pursuit Physical Therapy. I would also recommend starting treatment as soon as you have pain. My healing time took longer because I waited, thinking it would get better and then when I finally went to get help, I unfortunately started with the wrong physical therapy group. Moral to the story is to call Ron first and not procrastinate in thinking the pain will heal itself. In addition to the quality and expert care I received, Ron is a very positive, encouraging, and (sometimes) funny guy! Haha! 5 stars all the way! read more

A 5-Star experience -- I received care from Jessica Sparschu at Pursuit Physical Therapy, for 3 bulged discs in lower back which caused sciatica in left buttocks. Over an 8-week program with Jessica, she was able to bring my debilitating daily chronic pain down from a level 5 to 7, to where I was able to be pain-free for almost the entire day, and still getting better from there with the at-home program that Jessica developed for me. I had suffered in constant pain for 2 months prior to finding Pursuit, with half of that time spent at a previous therapist who had misdiagnosed me (with piriformis syndrome) and prescribed the wrong exercises. I was in such pain and so relieved to call one afternoon and talk to the owner Ron Miller who got me in the very next day with Jessica. I knew at the initial meeting with Jessica that I was in good hands, as she took an entire hour to listen to my injury story and conducted a few simple tests to determine that I had a nerve problem emanating from my bulged discs, rather than a strained muscle in my glutes. Her diagnosis was borne out to be true several weeks later when an MRI confirmed the 3 bulged discs. As anyone who is struggling with sciatica knows, it can be debilitating and completely change your daily life, which for me meant difficulty sleeping, putting on clothes and shoes, sitting, and basically doing anything physically that we take for granted when we are healthy. This is where I started with Jessica. From the in-person sessions where I received cupping and dry needling therapies, to Jessica's progressive exercise program, I began feeling relief within a week. My healing accelerated after about 4 weeks, as the pain subsided to manageable levels that allowed me to move into the strength exercises that I needed to support my back. And in the last 4 weeks of the program, I was seeing improvements and the lessening of pain almost daily. Where I ended up is that I can now resume a normal life, with the ability to move in all aspects with little to no pain. I will continue to implement Jessica's home exercise regimen on a daily basis to preventatively maintain my strength and flexibility in the middle of my body. The expectation is that I will be entirely pain free within a few more weeks or month, and with the improvements that I am seeing on a daily basis, I have no doubt I will achieve that result. Jessica and the team at Pursuit are true professionals who care about their clients and are available to them by text or phone throughout the program, in addition to the 10 in person sessions that my condition required. Thank you Jessica and Ron I will be forever grateful! ~ Rob Uhe read more

I was 5 weeks away from testing for my black belt in taekwondo with my 9 year old daughter. It was our dream and goal to do so together. We had been training for 32 months. I injured my knee, possible micro tear in a ligament and swelling, pain, loss of movement and unable to bend it. Every movement was painful. I was referred to Katie and Pursuit by a friend who was also a PT. The entire experience has been pleasant and positive. The day I called they happened to have an opening for an evaluation. I loved the electronic information and care expressed over the phone. I also loved what I read on their website about not being a typical PT....and they were interested in helping with root causes and not just treating the symptoms. I knew this could be a good fit for me. The evaluation was thorough and I was treatment began that session too! Each session afterwards was handled with professionalism and care. Katie took time to listen well and ask appropriate questions. She explained what she was doing and why and answered my numerous questions. She tailored treatment to my needs each session and was very focused on both functionality and being able to do the specific movements needed to test for black belt. I loved getting the home exercises by email and with videos. And they are focused on root causes and everything surrounding proper body functioning and healing. We discovered that there were several issues from my ankle to my hip -with connective soft tissue and muscle loss. She worked on it all! I did see progress right away. I stuck with her recommendations and after 4 weeks of PT and I earned my black belt with my daughter!!!! I continued sessions because I was not done healing. I still needed to strengthen and build up endurance. Again she knew just what to do to make that happen. I finished my last session and I am honestly sad to not be going back as it was all so beneficial and pleasant. I am at about 90-95 percent and can now continue taekwondo, ride my bike, do my yoga stretches, climb stairs and fully extend and bend my knee (none of which I could do before). I am almost completely pain free and look forward to continuing the home exercises and putting into practice what I learned to strengthen. I could not be more pleased and highly recommend Katie and Pursuit. I will go back if I ever need help with an injury or strengthening or body functioning. read more
