Testimonials

I found St Pete Physical Therapy on the Ehlers Danlos Society website, and after so many experiences with physical therapists who had never heard of hEDS, it was exciting to talk to someone who not only knew what I was talking about when I mentioned my diagnosis, but also had experience with other people like me before I walked in. I have been working with Patrick for several months, and I have been lucky enough to witness the talents of Jan and Jen as well, and I would feel comfortable leaving any of my hEDS friends in any of their care. It’s incredibly rare to find a full staff of people who have knowledge in this particular area, and I feel so lucky to have found them.

I was recently diagnosed with hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and was advised to seek a physical therapist with expertise in this condition. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. Jan Schorpion. After several sessions, it’s evident how highly skilled and knowledgeable he is, not only in understanding the complexities of the human body but also in prescribing exercises tailored to my specific needs. Additionally, Stacy at the front desk is awesome —always prompt and helpful. If you’re in search of a physical therapist in the area, I wholeheartedly recommend Saint Pete Physical Therapy. Five stars without hesitation!

Jan and Jimmy and fantastic PT’s and I’ve been to a lot of them in my life having a chronic ligament condition. They push me appropriately and come up with new and creative exercises to constantly challenge and strengthen me and it’s fun too! Dry needling has been a game changer for my tight muscles. Feeling the strongest I’ve felt in years. 100% recommend St Pete Physical Therapy

My outcome has been a life changer, no surgery needed!

My experience at St Pete Physical Therapy has been incredible. When starting I was not able to walk more than a few blocks without pain. Within a couple months I was able to walk two miles and returned to all my activities. Jan not only helped improve my hip injury I also have increased my overall strength and knee mobility.

If you want to run again after a knee injury, like me, this is your place!

If you want to run again after a knee injury, like me, this is your place! I had an ortho doc tell me I would never run again, would need foam injected in my knee, and then a knee replacement. so glad I didn’t listen to him. I started here a few months ago and I am running my first race on Sunday! Jan is so positive and patient. As a runner, he gets it!

I've made so much progress in the short amount of visits I have had

I had an injury that resurfaced and needed therapy. This place was recommended to me and they are wonderful. I have felt like I’ve made so much progress in the short amount of visits I have had. He works with your schedule and it is a very clean place. Great atmosphere as well.

I highly recommend him!

Amazing one on one experience.

Amazing one on one experience. Dr Jan took the time to really understand where my pain points were and explained what was likely causing it in an understandable fashion. Such a completely different experience from the PT mills that are all over St Pete. So glad I found them!

made a significant difference in my life

I have been working with Dr. Jan, my physical therapist, for the past 4 Months and I cannot recommend him enough. As someone who has been lifting weights for 10 years, I was devastated when I suffered a shoulder labrum tear. However, Jan’s expertise and guidance helped me get back to the gym and lifting pain-free. He taught me principles of exercise that I had never known before, and with his help, I not only recovered from my injury but also improved my form and prevented future injuries.

What sets Jan apart from the other two physical therapists I had previously tried is his ability to teach in a way that is easy to understand and implement. His passion for his work is evident in his dedication to his patients’ well-being, and I truly believe that he cares about each and every one of his patients. When I met Jan at his old practice, I had faith in his abilities, and I followed him to his new practice without hesitation. My plan is to continue to see him indefinitely to keep improving my form and learning more principles of exercise.

Overall, Jan is an exceptional physical therapist who has made a significant difference in my life. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate therapist who can help you achieve your health goals, I highly recommend Jan. I guarantee that your first meeting with him will inspire confidence that he can help you heal and improve your overall fitness. Thank you, Jan, for all your help and support.

Jan is by far the best PT I’ve worked with

Jan is by far the best PT I’ve worked with. There was excellent two-way communication and he was very receptive to my thoughts and suggestions while providing a solid plan to help alleviate my disc issues. I look forward to continuing my treatment with Jan and would absolutely recommend St. Pete PT if you are looking for a trusted and knowledgeable therapist.

After 4 visits with Jan, my pain was almost gone.

I first saw Jan five weeks after a plantar fasciotomy. When I started physical therapy, I was depressed and discouraged; it was five weeks after surgery, and I still had a lot of pain that did not seem to be improving. I couldn’t walk for five minutes without pain, and I used to walk 2 1/2 to 3 miles a day. After 4 visits with Jan, my pain was almost gone. I have now been seeing him for 2 weeks and I have been able to walk longer and longer distances. I have 100% confidence that when I have completed my physical therapy with Jan, I will be better than before. I would definitely recommend Jan to anyone looking for a skilled and caring physical therapist.

I can't say enough great things about my experience

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Jan at St Pete Physical Therapy! I have a complicated history of knee pain that limited my mobility (couldnt even walk half a mile without pain) and after 8 weeks with Jan I ended my last session doing box jumps, squats, elliptical, and split squats with absolutely no pain! I always left each session with a complete understanding of what we were slowly building up to and the mechanics of why my knee was struggling. I wish every person received this type of dedicated, expert, and thoughtful care. I am very grateful for his help and will always recommend him to anyone looking for the best physical therapist in town!

Also, his location was one of the few that worked with my 9-5pm schedule! Was very flexible with scheduling!

my knee feels 100x better than it did 6 weeks ago!

If I could give more stars I would. I tore my meniscus in back in December. I’ve never had to go through physical therapy before so I didn’t have any expectations. I was having such a tough time with my knee, I thought even if it gets a little better I will be happy. I was given a 6 week treatment plan. This will be my last week and I am happy to say that my knee feels 100x better than it did 6 weeks ago! Dr. Schorpion definitely knows what he is doing. He is very patient and will answer any questions that you may have. I had a great experience. I highly recommend.

I’m already feeling better

I’ve only been to one visit with Jan so far, and I’m already feeling better. Jan is extremely knowledgeable in his field. I feel he thoroughly understands me and what I’m dealing with. I’m very hopeful to see my outcome.

The facility itself is spacious and has all the modern equipment one would expect from a physical therapist’s business. The location is easy to access as well.

I’m very happy I found this place and that Jan is in my insurance network.
