First Option Physical Therapy Venice, FL 34292

"Go by provider expertise and not by large or fancy locations. This practice has caring people, with lots of experience from what I noticed, on my first visit. I'm glad the "big guys" didn't have time to take care of my therapy, which made me end up with Option Therapy. I'm glad it happened."

"After 3+ months of continual pain from a work injury, I was grateful to finally get some relief with electrodes, heat and massage treatments. Helberts Tambley listened to my concerns and accommodated treatment to provide relief instead of additional pain as other companies did. I highly suggest this company for anyone experiencing ongoing pain. Thank you for your service."

"I am very pleased with my treatment at First Option Physical Therapy. I went there for a broken wrist. The office located conveniently in Gondola Park, off Capri Isles Bkvd. Parking is easy and plentiful. The office is small, clean, efficient and well equipped. The therapists, Helberts Tambley and Andreas Machulski, are well versed in both traditional PT and some methods that may not be as common here in the US. They only deal with 2 patients each at a time, so you are always attended to. They maintain a tight schedule, so are always ready for you at your appointment time. They are efficient, professional and pleasant. The office manager, Beverly Smith, is always cheerful, responsive and helpful. Scheduling and payments are handled easily. I will be happy to return to First Option if needed, and to recommend it to all."

"This place is amazing. I suffered with sciatica for two weeks before I decided on PT. OK, that wasn’t smart…I should have gone week one. Anyway, I tried another therapist a few times and nothing improved. Then I discovered First Option. I called and Beverly got me in the next day ans was so professional and pleasant. There are two therapists there, Helberts and Andreas. Unbelievable. I went a few times and each time it got better and better. After 1 1/2 weeks I was done and back on the golf course. Thank you to all three of you for being such miracle workers!!!!"

"The first 3 months of this year I was in a rehab center recovering from an accident. The care was just maintenance for me and I was showing little rehabilitation progress. My niece took me in and I started attending first option therapy 3 times a week. I could walk 50’ with a walker and needed assistance getting in and out of a car. My doctor claimed I would not get any better until a had a knee replacement. To start, Beverly answered the phone and confidently told my daughter First Option could help. I would get personalized care. She worked me into the schedule and I started therapy the following week. It has been nothing but progress since then. Helbert and Andreas are 2 of the best therapists I have ever met. Every session was a full work session with the therapist. No trainees. Now, 4 months later, I am pain free (except for aging bones), walking, driving my car and no knee replacement. My daughter and niece were very skeptical that I would ever be able to walk without assistance and they are so happy with my progress. Thank you Helbert, Andreas and Beverly, I am forever thankful."
