I have some old sports injuries, that flare up from time to time, and lately I've not been able to get them under control. One of my therapist recommended Andrew and Take Control Physicsl Therapy, because one of her other patients had a very positive experience here. I trust her, and now I trust Andrew because he took the time to explain to me what needed to be done what movements I needed and how I could be injury free going forward. He focuses on the McKenzie method, although he has other modalities available to him and he is a BOARD-CERTIFIED PHYSICAL THERAPIST. That means that he passed the most rigorous test common is the master of his craft. The McKenzie method focuses on movements that help alleviate pain, and they do so with less appointments than you would have to go to a traditional physical therapy routine or you're one of three or one of four people that are getting addressed at one time. Andrew's method is 101 you have his full attention and he encourages you to keep in constant contact with him to let you know how you are doing. My experience with him was fantastic, and after five appointments, I was pain-free. Actually, I was pain-free after the third appointment, but I had some long drives and being cooped up in the car is not necessarily good for your back posture. He really believes in his methods come he really believes that you deserve to be pain-free and that's what he's dedicated therapy clinic.

I am happy to recommend Dr. Andrew Merget as a premier physical therapist. His explanations are…read moresuch that patients have a thorough understanding of their problems and the ways to treat them. His goal is to teach us techniques so we can lead pain free lives. My husband had arranged for knee replacement surgery believing he had no other choice. A few days prior to the surgery, I suggested he contact Andrew to schedule a telehealth visit. Andrew was able to assess the condition and prescribed appropriate exercises. The knee surgery was canceled and my husband has resumed his normal activities, Incl umpiring behind home plate! I encourage people to consult with and be treated by Dr. Merget Lydia P.

Interestingly, he was the only one who could help me while other clinicians suggested surgical options.Not only did he take care of my chronic pain, but I see him on a regular basis in service of my goal of remaining injury free despite a vigorous exercise program (for my age, that is!). In my opinion, Aaron is the best physical therapist in Jacksonville Florida. But you may want to find this out for yourself... FIVE STARS PLUS.

I had the unfortunate experience of developing tendinitis seemingly out of nowhere at the ripe age…read moreof 25. Suddenly, for no knowable reason whatsoever, my leg just locked up and wouldn't bend or straighten. Oh, and it hurt like hizzle. Heartland Rehab in Riverside saved my life! Or my leg. Either/or! Both! I was prescribed one month of physical therapy to fix my bum leg, and fix it they did. Before I started PT someone told me how nice PT could be... you get messaged, people fawn all over you, making your problems their problems. For one little hour you don't have to worry about things while these wonderful therapists worry for you. I had Ronata as my therapist and she was great. She taught me all kinds of exercises to strengthen my knee, she told me jokes, she gave my knee some amazing massages [best part about PT, hands down] AND she even prescribed me to have my husband give me massages every night. HA! Take that husband. It is a prescription. You have to do it! The facilities are nice with a view of the St. Johns River. You can continue to use their gym even after your PT is over for a membership fee, if you so please. I haven't tried that myself, already being a member of the YMCA, but I think it would be a great choice for someone recovering from an injury.

The quality care and reassuring communication helped me tremendously. I'd like to specifically thank Dr. Phillip Bell who performed the surgery, the nurses, anesthesiologist, and everyone else at JOI Baptist South for taking such good care of me before, during, and after surgery. My knee range of motion has improved dramatically the previous 5 days and is currently at 115 degrees. No more walker or cane and I just walked a mile today. It's been 5 weeks since the knee replacement. I have a new lease on life! Thank you very much. Sincerely, Richard

I came here for aquatic physical therapy every week for several months for my back problems. It…read morewas our last resort before I had to start having shots every couple of months in my spine. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I did have to resort to the shots, but I did have a good experience here. The physical therapists are just wonderful. They are very kind and understanding. They would push me, but they never pushed too far. They seemed to know my limits even better than I did. I guess that's why they are physical therapists and I'm not. :D It's a very large physical therapy center. Even though this one was a good distance away, there are not very many centers in jacksonville that offer the aquatic physical therapy. The pool is located inside and it is heated. It's more like an above the ground pool. For those who can't make it up and down the stairs, they have a chair for the patient to sit in which raises up and lowers the person into the pool... it then does the opposite to remove the person from the pool. The front desk people are wonderful also. They are great at working with your schedule to make appointments. They did a great job at filing my insurance for me too. If you're in need of aquatic physical therapy or other types of physical therapy, I highly recommend Heartland.

Last year, I had an ankle replacement and was assigned to physical therapy. After literally trying…read morefour other physical therapy clinics in the area, I settled here. What I like about this Clinic is that it is very personal. At other clinics I had the experience of having four or five different people work on my therapy within any given visit. I dreaded my visits there. Here I am assigned one person that stays with me the entire time. This is the way it should be. When being assigned to the same therapist for the entire appointment, they get to know you better, what you need to work on and how they can help you best. This is a nice clinic, conveniently located on Argyle Forest. They have a large rehab area with various types of rehabilitation equipment to meet your needs. You can park right in front of this clinic and there is always parking availability. The therapists are very friendly - I enjoy this! They care for you, and they make sure that you are feeling comfortable with your therapy. If you ask questions, they will answer the questions. They will have questions for you as well..so that they can provide the best services. Instead of dreading your clinic time in physical therapy each visit, you actually will look forward to it because it is a happy, positive environment! The front office staff is top-notch with smiles to greet you, and whole staff is professional in demeanor. As JGPT was recommended to me by my good friend, I will highly recommend this clinic to you as well! Well, done JGPT- Argyle! You have made a believer out of me! Thank you for helping me reach my goals, lessen the pain of recovery, and making my ankle rehabilitation successful, and fun! For all of you perspective, physical therapy patients I will leave the clinic number right here. They are located in Orange Park on Argyle Forest! Go For It! Get Better! Phone: 904-573-2100

Not knowing what to expect, I ended up pleasantly surprised! I started with a physical therapist who was very nice and knowledgeable but 'just not for me.' I then had the opportunity to switch to a different therapist when I needed to change one of my therapy appointments. From that day forward, I remained with that therapist! Our personalities were very similar. He gave me my exercises, pushed me just enough to finish the amount he had decided upon. Then, I pushed myself even farther! We made a good team for my rehabilitation! He, as well as the other three therapists I worked with while recovering were all extremely punctual, knowledgeable, organized, and very mindful of the patient's tolerance level! The facility was always clean, neat, and organized. Each table, tool, and machine were cleaned & sanitized after each use, as well! I would definitely recommend JOI at Baptist South to anyone in need of physical therapy or occupational therapy!
