Our ACL rehabilitation includes:
We guide you from your first post-op steps to high-level performance, minimizing the risk of re-injury and helping you feel confident every step of the way.

BACK PAIN, BULGING DISC FOR OVER 10 YEARS
It’s crazy to me that I won’t even need my next cortisone shot for my back. I’ve had pain for so long. Kristy gave me a targeted combination of physical therapy, personal training, massage and dry needling that addressed my back pain and imbalances – I didn’t even know I had. I’ve had back pain for so long and because of Physique – I finally feel better. The best physical therapy in Tampa for true life-changing pain relief.
At most physical therapy clinics, no physical therapy is not like personal training. That’s why Physique is unique! We integrate personal training in all of our physical therapy programs. We believe that’s the way Physical Therapy should be! At Physique your program is designed to treat your condition and improve your fitness – your program may include free weights, barbell movements, resistance bands, weight machines, medicine balls, and suspension equipment. We design programs for you to have a better everyday life in all aspects of health and fitness.
People are often cautious about starting with a personal trainer. Cost of sessions & feeling intimidated by working with a pro are common concerns. Hiring a trainer may seem like a luxury – but if you truly want to get results – it’s a great investment. The improvement in your health & fitness has returns in quality of life, confidence and decreased health care costs. Our team works to make every client welcome – of all fitness levels, ages and experience – we all start somewhere!
When should you get a personal trainer?
Here are 10 reasons why you may want to start with one of our Physical Therapist / Personal Trainers:
You Have a Specific Illness, Injury, or Condition
If you find yourself avoiding certain exercises because of pain or skipping the gym because your ‘bad’ knee or ‘bad’ hip hurts – then we’re the right trainers for you. We specialize in helping people with complex injuries recover and grow stronger.
You Aren’t Seeing Results
Getting help from an expert will dramitacally change the speed and effectiveness of your results. Whether you want to gain muscle mass or improve your confidence. We will show you results faster and help you understand your results – beyond the scale!
You’re Bored With Your Workouts
Getting used to the same treadmill and dumbbell routine? We love creating programs with movements our clients have never done before. It’s fun for you and for us. We’ll get you out of the same old routine and into one that has you try new things.
You Want to Be Challenged
Each person prefers a different level of difficulty in exercising. We love creating programs to push you out of your comfort zone and giving you new experiences. Try one of our custom programs to re-learn the thrill of physical growth and break a serious sweat.
You Don’t Know Where to Start
Everyone starts somewhere! Starting an exercise, strength or weight loss program can be intimidating, so we make sure you’re comfortable with every program, technique and method.
You Want To Train For An Event (such as a local 5K, Iron Man or Physique Competition)
Interested in running in a local race? We are too! We often run local 5Ks and we’d love to train you to join us for a local event! Or if you’re looking beyond local get in touch with our advanced athletic trainers so we can develop a plan specifically for your competitive event.
You Need Motivation & Someone To Help Keep You On Track
Everyone hits walls on motivation and staying on track. If you find yourself yo-yo-dieting or losing the motivation to go to the gym for serveral months, a trainer would be great for you. We’ll help you see results, stay motivated and help nudge you when you aren’t feeling it.
You Want to Learn How to Exercise on Your Own
Trainers don’t have to be a lifelong commitment. Maybe you want to learn the fundamentals of exercise, health and nutrition and then take that knowledge back to your gym. We’ll give you the tools to build a better program specifically for you.
You Want To Train For a Specific Sport
We are experts in movements at Physique, but we are also current and former athletes. We are passionate about building your body for peak performance. If you’re interested in training for an upcoming sports season, get in touch with our team.
You’re Embarking On a Long Outdoor Event
If you’re getting ready to hike, for example, the Pacific Coast Trail, preparation is key. As outdoor lovers ourselves, we’ll help you get set up with all the physical fitness needs for an endurance event like this.
In Tampa, personal trianing sessions are typically anywhere from $70-$150/session for a standard personal trainer working freelance. Gym trainers often cost upwards of $80-$220/session because of the facilities and the gym’s cut.
People are often cautious about investing in a personal trainer trainer. Hiring a trainer might seem like a luxury, but – if you truly want to get results – a trainer is a great investment. The improvement in your health and fitness levels also has return in quality of life, confidence and decreased health care costs.
