My first experience with BTW was back in 2011 in the YMCA on Himes and had even visited their location downtown, neither of which exist any longer. I received great care then and improved significantly and had gone to another PT office for different reasons and didn't feel that I got as good of results as I had at BTW. So, when I encountered some unrelated issues from the first series of visits that required PT attention, I knew I wanted to return to BTW and went to their newest S Tampa office on Dale Mabry. It's quite a difference from the older days. More space, more tools, more therapists. My initial evaluation (and last evaluation) was done by Kaitlin. She was my therapist for the majority of my visits, but was also seen by Ray and Burke (the master! himself) twice and also Michael from another office. It's good to share the sessions between all the therapists because they each work different things different ways. At the end of my series this time, I was able to get a home and gym regimen that I can easily follow and use several times a week. The key is actually doing it! They have a MedX machine, one for neck and one for back, that are very helpful...it strengthens over time. You don't find this in most PT places. That alone is special. I definitely feel better, there's still work to be done (need to keep on with the home and gym regiment...) and I would recommend this location to anyone who needs PT. read more

I have been going to the Carrollwood location for over 5 years now, and even know some of the physical therapists before they became Back to Work Physical Therapy. Even though they changed, I did not hesitate going back to Back to Work Phyiscal Therapy, for my second...AND third auto accident. Everyone is courteous, friendly, and have the best table manners. They make sure every exercise is easy to understand, and utilize a program for at home workouts that is so easy and I love to use. Victor, Mely, Verlencia, Crystal and Jody - YOU ARE APPRECIATED! 10 out of 10, would recommend...and would go again, but hopefully no more accidents :) read more

I went to BTW specifically for MedX, having read about it and having had back issues for years. But in addition to MedX I got the dynamic duo, Katie and Ray. My initial and final evaluation was with Katie, who in a very quite and steady way works with you so you get the exercises, and they are effective and you can duplicate them at home. Then Ray comes in and you find yourself doing more and more, pushing you to dig deep :). Both these practitioners are 10s to me. Thank you both. I have had therapy at other gyms, some good, some OK but BTW has the whole package from the front desk to, to the therapist, to the billing personnel, you all are great. I thank you and you haven't seen the last of me. Felice L read more

Receiving care at Back To Work Physical Therapy (BTW PT) has been a life changing experience for me. Not so much because of its convenient location in South Tampa or establishment reputation, but undoubtably, because of Kaitlin. The progress Kaitlin and I have achieved in a little over a year of working together speaks volumes to the depth and quality of care she provides her clients. Although peculiar and drastically different from any physical therapy I have ever had in the past; Kaitlin has demonstrated and explained to me her proven approach of proper proprioception of the muscles and their mechanical relationship with the way our body is meant to move. To expound on the last sentence above, I feel it's worth mentioning I am no stranger to injuries and physical therapy. I am an active duty U.S. Army soldier whose had several surgeries, to include over 6 back procedures and various tear/fractures that, unbeknownst to me, caused a chain reaction of follow on injuries. I mentioned Kaitlin's approach toward rehab as peculiar because after years of going through physical therapy in different states and countries, EVERYONE just treats the issue that brings you to therapy and not the injury. In my experience, NO ONE has ever diagnosed the injury and map out its underlying affects to the rest of the body like Kaitlin has. Usually, physical therapy is like meeting with a personal trainer and involves the same foundational workouts to 'strength the core'. Do a few sets of this and a few reps of that, with light supervision. Kaitlin on the other hand, has educated me on proper motor functions through activation of primary and secondary muscles. Not only does she diagnose the issue, she treats the underlying effects caused by its relation to your body. When performing specific and targeted exercises, Kaitlin takes a true wholistic approach. She ensures the correct muscle fibers are firing and your body is not compensating elsewhere by recruiting other muscles to the task. No disrespect to our health care providers and again I can only speak on my behalf and my experiences solely; most doctors I have seen pertaining to my injuries have assured me resolution through the lens of their practice only. For example, if I see my primary physician then his first go to is medication. Even if he knows the best course of action would be some imaging or diagnostic testing, medication is always the first tier of treatment no matter what the issue is (if this doesn't work, try this; I'll see you back in 2-3 weeks). After that time-consuming process and still no resolution, that's when a more common-sense approach is taken (injury? Let's do some scans. Symptoms of a chronic condition or illness? Let's refer you to a specialist). This unnecessary check the block treatment style is being overly simplified for brevity and in reality involves a lot of back and forth causing massive frustration. Sadly, the example provided has been the dominating experience of my healthcare, no matter the practice (e.g. the surgeon will fix you by cutting you open, the chiropractor will fix you by 'correcting' or cracking you into place, etc.). I am not sure if it is an ego thing or if the physicians I have come across just want my money. Why mention the paragraph above? Kaitlin is not arrogant like the other physicians I have encountered and knows what her limitations are. She is a true professional and it is refreshing to find someone who is honest and realistic about what they can achieve for you. In fact, Kaitlin has advocated for my health in the past by immediately suspending my appointments with her (I can be stubborn sometimes, lol) until I received surgery for an old tear that was exacerbated by a new injury. She could have easily capitalized on this opportunity to gain additional visits from me, thus making more money off me and potentially increasing my chances of further injury. Instead, Kaitlin put my health first and advised me what our best course of action would be after the surgery and going forward. In summary, I think of Kaitlin as an architectural engineer when it comes to the human body. She is well educated and skilled in her craft. I am truly grateful to have met Kaitlin and none of the progress I have made at BTW PT could have been achieved without her. read more

It is so refreshing and comforting to walk into a medical facility where the person, Kelsey, greats you so warmly! Kelsey also is very adept at helping to get you an appointment and speaking to the physical therapists to see if they can fit you in. Also working with Ann-Marie ,one of the physical therapists there, has been such a positive experience! She is extremely knowledgeable and at that same time very engaging and personable. When I leave my appointment I always feel very well taken care of. read more

I have been to several physical therapy locations in South Tampa. This location has some of the most intelligent and well trained therapist around. You will not waste a minute once you arrive. They are extremely respectful and each exercise is well thought out and monitored. They will teach you how to help yourself so that you can go on to be a better more mobile person. There is a synergy among the group and it is clearly visible. The therapists here work as a team and helping their clients become the best version of themselves is the goal. I would recommend this "Back to work" therapy location to all my family and friends -it has plenty of parking in the front and back and they are extremely Covid protected. read more

Was easy to get a appointment and the facility looks to have everything a person needs for rehabilitation. The staff seemed knowledgeable.

I highly recommend Back To Work Physical Therapy, South Tampa location. Gia, Office Manager is friendly and professional. DPT, Kaitlin is knowledgeable, efficient, and good-natured with excellent communication skills. From the moment I entered the door, I was relaxed, welcomed and amazingly comfortable. It was a VERY positive experience and I am looking forward to returning for further treatment. I am already feeling physically improved, after only one visit! read more
