Leading Edge Physical Therapy | Lakeland

"Very professional, yet courteous. Exceeded my expectations. Starting with Natalie at the front desk, high energy and always happy. I then mostly had Melannie, Mike and Abbie, all were very encouraging yet demanding. I also enjoyed Susan and Ginger occasionally. The whole staff worked very well together as a team. I highly recommend Leading Edge."

"Mike and Abbie helped me tremendously with reoccurring knee pain I was having. Not only did they help me recover to normal, I am better than before! I am back in the gym...pain free! I learned many things from these wonderful folks at Leading Edge that will last a lifetime. I will be returning for sessions dedicated to stretching to continue this pain free lifestyle! Thank you Leading Edge! You guys are the best!"

"We found Leading Edge by doing an online search for physical therapists near home following Jeff’s rotator cuff surgery. On the first visit Mike did a thorough evaluation and got a plan for recovery. Jeff worked with many of the staff over his recovery period as they challenged him to reach the next level. All of the staff are knowledgeable and caring. They are very attentive to areas that need to be focused on and take time to explain each exercise and the reason each exercise is needed. We have felt like a part of a huge family during this journey. Jeff’s surgeon was amazed at his progress and recovery at each of his post op appointments. So many facilities seem like an assembly line but that is not the case at Leading Edge. Mike and all of the staff are amazing at what they do, from the front desk all the way to each PT. They take the time to get to know each of their patients on a personal level not just by what’s on a piece of paper. They listen the their patients and give suggestions for at home exercises to help. We highly recommend anyone in need of physical therapy to visit Leading Edge! They are a great team and amazing at what they do!"

"I came to Leading Edge in July for their free 30 minute evaluation with Susan for a pain in my chest that occurred whenever I laughed or simply breathed. She gave me honest advice that there was no way to rehab this pain just rest, so she put K-tape on me which accelerated the healing process. Two weeks later I was right back for hamstring pain due to extreme tightness. I worked with multiple PTs and each one was very well educated, caring and very kind. At Leading Edge they have top of the line technology, such as their Alter Gs and massage tools. After massaging the pain out and giving me wonderful stretching routines to do twice a day we began strengthening my hips and hamstrings, working on my cadence with the Alter G (less impact, great cross trainer) so I stop over-striding and breathing exercises to utilize my diaphragm and breathe efficiently. Since beginning a month and a half ago I have went from extreme pain and barely been able to walk to 4 weeks at 50 miles each week. Just in time to do the Leading Edge Take Heart 5k! On the last day I had absolutely no pain and Evelyn filmed me doing my exercises so I can remember them. Thank you to Susan, Abby, Evelyn and Sarah! They will be seeing me again because I trust them. I just hope it’s only for the Alter G sessions and not an injury!"

"I actually enjoy coming to physical therapy. The staff is always welcoming and they answer any questions I may have. They also have up to date new ago equipment (the anti-gravity treadmill). I've had the pleasure of working with Susan after a car accident in 2017 and I chose to come back here after my back surgery due to work related injury."
