Was referred to Physical Therapy of Okeechobee after a knee revision in August. Cheryl and her staff were very friendly and professional. After having knee replacement in 2014, the PT here was so much better. I would highly recommend their services!

PT has never been my cup of tea, yet when it’s needed I highly recommend physical therapy here. You will get your money and time worth while, I rebounded in record time. Everyone is very kind and helpful yet challenging.

I'm a member of Total Fitness, which is part of the PT. Everything is very clean, and it has all the equipment you need. The owner, Cheryl, is awesome, along with all the staff. Great place to get a workout, or to work out any injuries that occur when you think you're stronger than you are
