Manual Physical Therapy & Concierge Services

These women and their unique therapy techniques have completely changed my life. I’ve spent the last 10 years in and out of doctors and all kinds of specialists for chronic pain issues of the whole body. After only a couple of weeks I was noticing the positive results. I’m now towards the end of treatment where I’ll continue to recalibrate my muscular system and manage the progress that’s been made. 3 months ago I couldn’t even pick up my 3 year old, let alone tend to the daily tasks of life, or attend to physical fitness activities for myself. Now… I can carry my little one (when necessary), I can ride my bike again, run errands without breaking them up across the week, and much more. I’m also sleeping better, waking up in less pain, and in general spending less time in pain.
Thank you so much for all that you’ve done to change my life and for all you’ve taught me along the way...

I’m a 74 year old Male. About 3 years ago, I tore my left labrum playing lawnbowls. After the tear, every step I took was very painful. An orthopedic surgeon told me I needed a hip replacement to get rid of the pain. I went to a chiropractor and standard physical therapy instead. Over time, the pain began to decrease but never went away. About a month ago I walked into a Manual Physical Therapy Clinic on Prospect Rd in Sarasota and enquired about their service. I met Pam who is delightful and provided a brief explanation of how Manual Physical Therapy differes from the standard physical therapy. Then Pam introduced me to Lead Therapist, Joann Pung who evaluated my posture, my movements while walking, observing my joint mobility and muscle tightness. I received a thorough explanation of why my labrum area was in pain especially when I walked. I was mesmerized listening to this method...

So I’ve spent most of my life in pain. I had mysterious leg pains since I was a child and then got rear ended twice in my mid twenties and was left with horrible neck and shoulder pain. I’ve done physical therapy, gone to a chiropractor for years but the pain always came back and progressively got worse. I had honestly given up on ever having a normal life - I figured I would never go back to kayaking and sports and just all the things I loved. Jocelyn showed up in my life like an angel- she has created a technique of physical therapy that I was First unsure(especially it being self pay) of but am now her biggest fan and believer. She has not only fixed my shoulder pain but is now helping me with my legs which doctors never found an answer for. All in the span of just 2 months. If you are doubting it for even a second I cant recommend it enough- especially when you’ve been in pain...

I’m an 80 year old male. Been a patient of MPT an JoAnn for years. I have many physical limitations. However, when recommended to MPT by my Orthopedic Surgeon I had to investigate, and thank God I did. Joann has kept me out of a wheelchair. Increased my mobility and helped with my chronic pain. It isn’t an inexpensive process. However, I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, while being an informed consumer. Thanks JoAnn

If you are dealing with persistent chronic pain I highly recommend going here. I’ve dealt with pain for a long time due to a cycling accident. MPT was able to fix my alignment which in turn reduced my pain. Joann is incredibly knowledgeable and so far has been the only therapist that has helped me.

Joann is AMAZING!!! One appointment with her got me out of pain that I’ve had since 2004! Highly recommend and I can’t wait to have her work on the rest of me. Being an ultrasound tech is really hard on the body so physical therapy is almost way of life for us. The way she works is unbelievable and I knew from the first conversation with her that it was going to be different than the plethora of chiropractors and physical therapist that I’ve seen in the last 20 years. Nobody could ever help me long-term but this has been absolutely amazing and educational. Cannot recommend enough!

Had two injuries that were each cured by Manual Physical Therapy rather than surgery.
Went from barely walking to 100% cured within several weeks of working with them.
Follow their preventative maintenance to avoid getting into these situations. Play golf 7 days a week

Update to my earlier review. I continue to come here for maintenance services and my Physical Therapist, Dr. Maira Vargas is excellent. She always spends time with me to find out what issues I am currently experiencing and she works on my body to work to relieve those issues. All the office personnel are pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Manual Physical Therapy.

I have been coming to Manual PT & Concierge Services for some time and I find the staff to be professional and offer excellent service. PT is personalized to your individual needs. The office is clean and well managed and my Physical Therapist Maira is excellent. I highly recommend this company.

Excellent personalized treatment with professional and welcoming environment.
