Manual Physical Therapy & Concierge Services

I can’t not say enough about Joann and her team. I had tried EVERYTHING and was at my absolute wits end of being in chronic pain for over 5 years. I am a naturally happy person with a beautiful life, but my pain was causing my crippling depression. Joann totally understood what my body was going through. She made me feel heard, and sane! That the pain was not only NOT My fault, but that there was a solution! Not only does she get the body out of pain, she also gives you tools to help yourself. And the fact that you can reach out to her with any issues, and she can help over the phone or via FaceTime is amazing! Joann is a true healer, and I am very gradual that she shares her gift !

After 14 years of living with Fibromyalgia, I found these angels at Manual Physical Therapy. Great staff, clean and comfy office too! After several visits I am pain free and convinced my diagnosis was incorrect all those years ago. If you’re reading this, just call!

Wow! Impressive and life changing treatment from this manual physical therapist. If you believe yourself to be chronically doomed, you have nothing to lose by getting a free consultation. Unique, impactful and ATTENTIVE treatment that lasts.

My therapist resolved my pain by correcting my posture and releasing tight muscles, which a medical doctor never did. I loved my therapist because she showed me on her ipad what she was doing. She responded to all the pain I had. I didn't know until the end of my treatment that she researched on her own time how best to treat me. Even though I still have some pain (I have fibromyalgia), I am able to swim, teach water exercise and bike like I used to before I was treated. I would highly recommend Manual Physical Therapy. I tried other physical therapy before a friend recommended MPT. It was useless.

This is the best clinic and the best therapists in Sarasota/Manatee county. Joanne’s approach to resolving pain is brilliant and she has helped me restore optimal, pain free functional mobility on more than one occasion. This clinic is responsible for increasing my spark for life and no longer living with pain that hinders me from doing what I love. Trust me, invest in yourself here, it’s the real deal.

I have been suffering with hip pain for many years. I follow all the instructions from my doctors. I got shots, did many sessions of physical therapy. Ending with a left hip replacement in 2017. Things didn't go well and I had to have it redone 6 weeks later. I and longer period of recovery I did physical therapy again. It helped but I ran out of appointments. I tried to continue on my own and made some progress but I still had pain in my left hip. I was getting depressed and I called the surgeon to see what can be done. The x-rays showed it to be muscular and the AP suggest Manual Physical Therapy and told me that she thought they would be the best place for my problem. May my first appointment in October and did 15 of the 18 aloud by my insurance. I saw Joanne the first time and then Debbie helped my with therapy. I have 80% less pain and 80% more movement with my hip. They are...

Manual Physical Therapy was recommended to me by a pain management doctor. I had already scheduled a consult with a surgeon for severe nerve pain. After my first visit I knew I was in good hands. I canceled my surgeon consult, stopped any meds, and continued my appointments with Manual Therapy. In a matter of weeks, I was out of pain. One year later, I can take care of myself so I am not a slave to appointment after appointment. This place has made me pain free, put me back to work, and gave me the confidence to (follow instructions) take care of myself with simple exercises every day so I stay pain free.

I had problems with my hip. It hurt to move, to turn over in bed, to get in the car, get out of the car, etc. I'd had this problem for 3 years. I went to Manual Physical Therapy, and after the first visit, I noticed a difference in the pain level. After my treatment was finished, my pain had gone from a 10 to about a 3. They showed me exercises to do to help, and they really do work. I try to do them daily, but when I notice my pain level rising, I do the exercises! This is the best place for getting your life back. Manual Physical Therapy is not like the usual physical therapy...it's more of a hands on manipulation. I love them!

I was referred to Joann Pung by my Orthopedic Spine Surgeon in an effort to control pain in my back. I have been to many PTs over the years and they were all pretty much the same and provided little pain relief. Joann is very different from all the others. Her hands-on approach is different than anything I had previously experienced. After a few visits she had focused on specific issues relating to my pain and 'worked them' with great results. She taught me how to treat myself successfully. I highly recommend her for back pain issues.
