Head Physical Therapyin Orlando & Surrounding Cities
We specialize in the treatment and management of acute concussions as well as those with persistent and chronic symptoms. We utilize a patient centered care model incorporating a multi-disciplinary team approach to ensure the best possible care to return you to sport, work and recreational tasks. The management of concussions entails addressing blood flow impairments by utilizing graded exposure to aerobic exercise, improving vestibular and visual dysfunction as well as performing manual therapy and corrective exercises for cervical spine involvement. In addition, a holistic approach is utilized with education on diet and sleep to further improve symptoms. Our main goal is to ensure a safe recovery following this injury and to spread public awareness and education about concussions and how a physical therapist can help. We also provide a comprehension baseline test consisting of 8 tests analyzing neurocognitive function, memory, reaction time, balance and more. Please contact one of offices to learn more!

Frequently Asked Questions
If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.
We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.
A typical order for physical therapy will ask for 2-3 visits per week for 4-6 weeks. Sometimes the order will specify something different. What generally happens is for the first 2-3 weeks, we recommend 3x per week. This is because it will be the most intensive portion of your treatment. After that, it is common to taper to 2x weekly, based on your level of function and progress.
Yes. Physical therapy works based on the science of how the body rebuilds and heals. The biggest killer of progress is inconsistency. We recommend adhering to your prescribed sessions agreed upon in your PT Eval to achieve desired results.

Jesse did an excellent job. He explained each exercise very well. I now know the correct way to do each exercise. Jesse was one of the bests.
Jim
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
After my last fall, I ended up in acute rehab for two weeks and chose to continue my therapy at Lake Centre for Rehab. I couldn’t be more satisfied. The therapist worked me hard and was very encouraging and I looked forward to each session. I was disappointed when I was done! I am so much stronger and able to do the things I want to do again and have my life back! Thank you for everything.

I was starting to get less motion in my neck. I took six therapy sessions and I saw a great deal of improvement. Exercises and stretching my neck improved my range of motion. Thank you all for your expertise and knowledge of my problem. Thank you for getting it right!

I was having a lot of trouble with my balance. I fell several times until my last fall resulted in a broken arm. I was provided physical therapy and it was discovered I had a serious balance problem. I had at home therapy until I mended enough to come to Lake Centre for Rehab. My progress has been excellent, and I’m motivated to stay on the road to improvement!

I underwent a complete knee replacement. I was assigned to Lake Centre for Rehab. Despite the onset of Covid, I received exceptional care. My knee remained sore and stiff for quite some time, but now my knee has improved significantly. I am forever grateful to the entire staff especially Pat. Pat is exceptional!
Michele
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
Came to rehab for my knee problem. Lake Centre for Rehab worked with me for six visits and gave me exercises to do at home between visits. I was very happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone who needs rehab. Very satisfied. They gave me the confidence I needed to continue to work at home.

Morene
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
I had a very good experience at Lake Centre for Rehab. The evaluation and plan of care were designed to expedite my recovery from injury. The exercises were focused and progressive, but I would go home each time with decreased pain and increased flexibility. As a medical professional for 40 years, I am aware of the empathy and commitment it takes to work with and motivate patients, and I thank them for helping me achieve my goals.

Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
On 8/20/20 I was involved in a hunting accident where my right arm was ripped off by an alligator. I came to Lake Centre for Rehab for therapy pre and post surgeries. Due to the skills and care from Kellye and Laura, I have made a great recovery and was able to return to full duty as a firefighter/paramedic.
Carsten
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
I had a very wonderful experience at the Lake Centre for Rehab. The very best was the first lady that I dealt with – Sidney. She was the one who discovered my problem and proceeded to solve the problem that I had. She was professional and complete. Her findings were the patterns that set me on the course to improvement. You all did a wonderful job.
John
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
My assessment, treatment and customer service experience has been stellar! How observant, thorough and professional Aneesh, DPT was with me… wow. Tara, the PTA did a good job also and the atmosphere was so comfortable. At first I didn’t think I would like being in a large room exercising with others watching. It didn’t take me long to realize no one but Tara was watching as they (the patients) were in the same situation.
Annetta
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
Without the help of each of my physical therapists I would not have achieved the goals I wanted to reach. Each one had a different method or tidbit of information that contributed to the success of my physical therapy.
Josephine
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
Thank you for your patience, encouragement, dedication, and kindness shown to me during my rehab. Three months ago I came into Lake Centre for Rehab in a wheelchair unable to walk and today I walked in! My husband and I are forever grateful!
Jo

I was a patient at Lake Centre for Rehab prior to my left total knee replacement and following the surgery as well. The care and therapy that I was given at Highland Lakes was outstanding!
Margaret
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
When I began, I had all the typical Parkinson’s symptoms. My voice was weak, I walked with a shuffle, I sat hunched over, and had trouble getting out of a chair. After four times a week and four weeks of hard work, those symptoms have been left in the dust.
Pamela
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
After just 4 visits…I feel like a brand new person. Before, I could barely walk for 15 minutes without my back screaming in pain. Now I’m zooming through therapy and going on walks at home.
Christy
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
Wonderful staff, very helpful, competent and professional. They listen to what I say and are working with me to meet my goal.
Barbara
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
Amazing service. They have gone out of their way to call and follow up with me while doing my at-home exercises. Highly recommend.
Josh
Lake Centre for Rehab Patient
My husband was skeptical of my choice to use physical therapy to treat my back pain instead of medications. After seeing my results from working with the Lake Centre for Rehab team, my husband is a believer now too.
Tiffany

I couldn’t have wished for a better place to go for my knee replacement therapy! They know what they are doing to get you back in the swing of things so you can go on with your life!
