Feeling Stronger Than I Have in Years
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

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!

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.

I’m back to running and competing in triathlons!
If you are a runner or triathlete dealing with injuries or just looking to improve, St. Pete Physical Therapy is the place to go. I have been seeing Jan for a couple of months, and it has been great. He has helped me get through minor injuries and advised me during my marathon training, which I just completed at a PR pace. I definitely attribute much of this success to the time spent with Jan. With his extensive racing experience, he guided me in many ways beyond just physical therapy.

I had a knee injury a few months ago, and the result: my left knee have 3 tears of meniscus.
I had a knee injury a few months ago, and the result: my left knee have 3 tears of meniscus. After the PRP shots, my next step was finding the best physical therapy place. I did a lot of research, and I finally found this awesome place! The gym is super clean, bright, and has many very good quality training machines. It is very comfortable to train there. But the most exciting thing for me was a smart and super professional therapist, Dr. Jan Schorpion! He is absolutely the best physical therapist! He did a great plan for me for the first session. I had 12 session(s) total with him, and it was so great and a lot of fun! I feel less pain and more confidence with every session. It was not easy for me to do all exercises, but with his motivation, I knew I could do it! He is not only a good coach but also an awesome person! I really liked to train with Jan, and I highly recommend him to everyone who has a body injury or just wanted to find a good personal trainer! He is a true professional physical therapist, and believe me, you will never regret it after working with him. Jan, thank you a lot! You did a fantastic job! I feel much better

Personalized Care That Made a Difference
I had a great experience at St. Pete Physical Therapy with Makayla! She helped me with both my hip and shoulder pain and was always knowledgeable, attentive, and encouraging. I’ve noticed a big improvement and really appreciate all of her help. I would absolutely recommend Makayla and St. Pete Physical Therapy to anyone looking for quality, personalized care. I would definitely return in the future if I ever need physical therapy again.

Strength and Lasting Results
St Pete Physical therapy has a totally different approach than any other chiro or PT clinic I’ve been to. After only doing manipulation and passive treatment the last 15 years, I found myself having to run constantly to get fixed at a chiro/PT to stay out of pain.
But in my first session with Jen I found out the key which was missing was that I was not creating any stabilization because the exercises I was doing weren’t increasing in resistance or weight so I was not building up much strength. After just the second visit I felt significantly stronger and better posture thus hugely decreased level of pain on a day to day basis that has been lasting.
This is the hugest relief because I never found any lasting treatment that went longer than a day – this has been the only one that has made me feel and know that I am actually getting better and holding long term with stability. Very incredible! And very fun and great team!!

Getting Care When It Matters
I am so happy that I was able to bring my child here. My daughter had surgery and the children’s hospital placed her on a 6-8 week waiting list for physical therapy. Melissa from St. Pete PT was able to get my child in the next day and able to start physical therapy right away. Stacy at the front desk is amazing to work with. She is kind and helpful. I have nothing but amazing things to say about St. Pete Physical Therapy. I have already started telling other parents to not go to PT at the children’s hospital and to go to St. Pete PT. So happy that I found Melissa to work with my child.

Great ACL Rehab Experience
I had such a good experience here rehabbing my ACL reconstruction. Makayla was so amazing and made sure everything was where I needed to be! Highly recommend especially if you are an athlete!!!
~ Jordan
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.

Helping Young Athletes Get Back in Action
Melissa has gone above and beyond for our son’s meniscus recovery! She’s thorough and caring and has made this difficult situation 100% more bearable. Their facility is very impressive and has a calm atmosphere, unlike other places we’ve been. Anyone looking to get their kiddos back in action for sports this is the place! They have given us a plan for the future and we will definitely be coming back to maintain his strength and agility! Stacy also makes scheduling easy and is so welcoming at the front desk! Thank you St. Pete Physical Therapy, you’re rock stars!!!

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.

A Clear Path to Recovery
I came to St. Pete physical therapy A 4 months after ACL/meniscus reconstruction for more active instruction and that’s what I got! Stacy has been great scheduling, reaching out to my physicians, insurance and knowledgeable with any questions I had prior to starting physical therapy here. St.Pete Physical Therapy has a great variety of equipment compared to other locations in the area. My PT Makayla is very kind, actively listens and curates specific training plans for me to execute at home, as well as pushes me to excel during our in person sessions. She encourages good forms and techniques. Ive had lots of progression in my recovery, and most importantly have a better understanding of my next goals/milestones in my journey to back full duty/active lifestyle. Fun environment, keeps clients engaged w fun random activities. Dr. Jan truly has a great group of PTs/staff and they act as a family, every therapist here is nice. Wish I found them earlier!

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!

A Great Place to Recover
Great place where I could recover all summer from my surgery. Everyone on the staff was so kind and helpful. Mikayla was my trainer and she did a great job everyday of rebuilding my strength and mobility. Highly recommended. When they are done installing their turf it will be the best place for athletes to recover and grow.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Back to Soccer and Better Than Ever
St. Pete Physical therapy changed my life! When I came in I was an injured soccer player who had significant weakness in my ankles and hips. I was also looking to play College Soccer. With the help of this awesome team I not only got back into soccer but increased my strength everywhere. I came back better than ever and with the help of St. Pete Physical therapy I was able to commit to play College soccer at a Division 2 University. The team is not just great therapists but they are also great people. I can’t thank them enough and highly recommend them.
