Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Back 2 Normal through a few friends and I am absolutely glad that I did. I worked with both Dani and Danielle(mainly Dani) and they were great. I've been to a few different physical therapy offices and Back 2 Normal is far the best one! The one on one attention that the therapist give is phenomenal. The equipment that they use is outstanding. The care here is worth every penny and I am glad that they give military discounts. They take pride in trying to get their patients back to normal. I started my treatment using a walker and after 14 sessions I am glad that I don't even think about using it. I am far from being able to get back into jiu jitsu, but, I will be able to take my wife on an epic horse back riding adventure for our 9 year anniversary! Lastly, please forgive their sense of humor, aka Kneeness, its not funny for everybody. JK

Fantastic experience: I look forward to seeing Danielle, my PT, and making improvements.

Fantastic experience: I came to B2N because I was having chronic neck pain and numbness in both hands and feet. Dani my physio took so much time to understand in detail what was happening to me, carefully designed the perfect rehabilitation plan, checked in on me regularly to monitor my progress and generally went above and beyond in every possible way. Today I'm more or less symptom free, a total game changer! I cannot recommend Dani and Back 2 Normal strongly enough, they are the absolute best.

Fantastic experience: My recent experience going through my intake appointment at Back2Normal with Lisa Chase was excellent. Definitely not the typical rushed appointment so many times experienced with providers in the medical and health field. I’m dealing with issues related to a poorly performed hip replacement leaving my leg too long causing SI Joint and Lumbar issues. I came out of my intake appointment feeling my issues were fully understood and that there is a game plan to fully recover my health. I left that appointment with PT that I am doing at home and am looking forward to my next PT appointment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve spent a long time knowing I needed deep levels of healing and many medical “professionals” have overlooked my needs, told me I was too body aware, & dismissed what I tell them. I CAN NOT express enough gratitude to Lisa Chase and her team at Back 2 Normal! Here they listen and focus on the root cause of your pain, really prioritizing your health. . For a while after a car accident on top of many traumas, I felt hopeless and like no one really heard me. I thought I’d have to travel out of the country for this type of healing but St Pete has it! The Heart rate variability test let me know specifics I wasn’t aware of and working with the Dr K, the Visceral specialist was life changing to say the least! This is not your average Physical Therapist clinic, Lisa’s place is pure magic! I’m happy to share details with anyone! Give them a call because life is too short not to thrive and they have something for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy offers exceptional care with a dedicated and knowledgeable team. Their attentiveness and personalized treatment plans foster a supportive environment conducive to recovery. I have experienced significant physical improvements working with Dani. The clinic maintains a clean facility and provides flexible scheduling options, enhancing the overall experience. With a focus on patient goals and ongoing support, Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy is highly recommended for anyone seeking effective rehabilitation services

Fantastic experience: Dani provided very effective solutions (advice, exercises and hands on treatments) to help me heal and regain my strength after a bad ham string tear. I went from hardly being able to walk to 90% recovery in 4 weeks. It was even super valuable with a virtual session. It was very enjoyable working with Dani too! I highly recommend her and this practice.

Fantastic experience: One of the things I love most about my experience with Back2normal is Charlene! Working with her taught me so much about my own body, how I move it and then what the correct way to move and utilize the appropriate muscles. She is truly knowledgeable and knows how to communicate guide and reinforce. Finishing off my therapy/recovery with her was the best thing I could have done. I will forever hear her voice in my head saying “Scapula down”. Thank you to the entire staff there and especially Charlene

Fantastic experience: Great place dani is the best.

Fantastic experience: Lisa Chase, the other physical therapists at Back2Normal PT, and I have collaborated for years on behalf of our mutual patients. Patients always report feeling better with increased range of motion, lower pain and improved strength after their sessions at B2N! My 73 year old mom was their patient after a severe fall to help relieve hip pain, back pain and a frozen shoulder; she had great improvements in strength, balance, range of motion and she always looked forward to going! I confidently refer patients, friends and family to B2N knowing they'll be in excellent care!

Fantastic experience: Back2Normal has been a crucial part of my recovery. Danielle Kelley is an amazing PT and helped me get back to playing beach volleyball after I had a severe ankle injury. I recommend the entire staff to all my friends. They are fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Owner Lisa Chase and her staff of therapists are warm and welcoming (not to leave out Buster Brown!) I love the technology they use to help focus on recovery. Lisa introduced me to the concept of HRV and tracking it with an Oura ring. With the data from the ring, they can help you find the most effective way to recover.

Fantastic experience: I had an issue I thought was unfixable without surgery. Thank goodness I went to Back 2 normal!

Fantastic experience: Back 2 Normal is in a league of their own when it comes to physical therapy! Lisa and her entire staff, especially Heather, are incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated to what they do! I am an almost 50 year old runner and after several months of working with them, my knees feel better than they have in years and I am getting stronger and overall in better shape than I have been in years! I cannot recommend these women highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have had numerous surgeries requiring physical therapy. My experience with Dani at Back 2 Normal has been the best by far. Her holistic approach, coupled with her experience and knowledge, led to a more positive outcome than I expected following total knee replacement surgery. I highly recommend Dani and the team at Back 2 Normal.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best PT I have ever received! The professionalism, knowledge, care and technique can't be matched.

Fantastic experience: Excellent people here. Lisa really knows what she’s doing and how to best help you achieve your goals. Working with Heather has been an absolute pleasure, and Danielle Kelley PhD has been instrumental in getting my post surgery (femur) back to its best performance in over a decade. Great team to work with.

Fantastic experience: Lisa and Heather are incredible. I see the entire team at B2N and I have never been happier with a PT team. They are so caring and thoughtful in their therapy plan and treat entire body not just injury site. I have seen many physical therapists over the years but none using the cutting edge techniques and tools that they do and the results are evident. Highly recommend Back 2 Normal!

Fantastic experience: Recently completed my third session at Back 2 Normal with treatment provided by Dr. Kirsten Snellenburg , I was referred to Dr. K. for a Visceral Evaluation with treatment to follow.I found Dr. K. to be excellent in communicating what she determined needed to be addressed and then applying various techniques of adjustment .The end result was improved organ function with at home manipulations I could perform.I highly recommend Dr. K. and the location and condition of the Back 2 Normal facility is easily accessible and first rate.

Fantastic experience: Best PT I’ve ever received. I’ve tried all sorts of PT, chiropractor, etc to fix my persistent back pain which kept me out of the gym and away from the golf course. Dani gave me a personalized approach to my unique problems and has me feeling better than ever. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: My name is Ralph Jones, and I am resident of St Petersburg, FL. I am in my mid-50’s and have been clinically diagnosed with both Scoliosis and Lumbar Stenosis. After years of unsuccessful epidural injections and persistent (and sometime debilitating) back pain, I was referred to Back to Normal by a Spinal Surgeon and was evaluated by Lisa Chase. Lisa recommended that I start Pilates therapy with her Master Pilates Instructor, Ilene Gershberg. I had never tried Pilates before but wanted to give it a shot since nothing else seemed to be working. I have been training with Coach Ilene for the past 10 months and the results have been dramatic. Coach Ilene has been able to strengthen my core and my “minor muscles” that I had never previously focused on. Since starting my sessions with Ilene, I have not required any epidural shots nor feel the need to seek major medical treatment. Ilene is awesome to work with---her personalized one-on-one sessions allow her to really focus on her client’s needs in order to obtain the best possible outcomes. Coach Ilene will meet you wherever you are at on the spectrum of fitness, but at the same time will push and challenge you to get the very most out of each and every session. Unlike many other therapists and coaches that I have trained with, I feel that Coach Ilene genuinely cares about my health and creates a personalized training experience to address my health needs. As an avid beach volleyball player, I was worried that my days on the court would be very limited with my scoliosis. With Ilene as my Pilates and Core/Conditioning coach, I am playing some of the very best volleyball of my life and I am doing it pain and worry free. I would give Back-to-Normal and Coach Ilene “Five Stars” for not only the genuine care and concern for their clients and patients, but also because of the real results that I have experienced through this program.

Fantastic experience: Lisa & Staff are always professional and work diligently to treat my foot pain. I love to go there just to see Buster Brown!

Fantastic experience: If you have had a joint replacement, regular therapy sessions with Lisa and her team may be the difference between a good outcome and a bad one. My husband had a hip replacement in May 2023 and soon after began weekly treatments at B2N. Improvement was immediate, but the benefits continue today. We are now almost a year post-surgery, and he is doing four exercise classes per week with no (or very little) hip or back pain. Lisa is magic!

Fantastic experience: Lisa Chase is an exceptional PT with excellent manual therapy skills that treat the underlying structural /biomechanical issues that are causing your pain. Clear results are seen in each treatment session! She is a dedicated,warm and caring professional. Highly recommend ! Jan Coupe PT

Fantastic experience: Dani was amazing. Helped me a ton and it was extremely enjoyable to work with her

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to the staff at Back 2 Normal. From my first assessment with Lisa I felt confident that the plan of therapy was a sound one. My therapist Dani was superb. Professional, knowledgeable and prepared to apply all her expertise to the healing of my ankle. She used multiple methodologies and offered addition activities that I could do at home to promote healing. This would be the first and only place I would go for any physical issues or injuries that may arise in the future

Fantastic experience: My son has been working with Lisa and Ilene for almost a year. They are great! Lisa has worked with him to create muscular balance, to understand his bodies aches & pains, and to teach him how to address potential issues preemptively, allowing him to stay healthy during his competitive sport. Ilene has helped him gain strength throughout his bodies full range of motion and helped give him tremendous core strength to protect his 6’4” growing frame. It is great to see him out on the fields completely recovered from his back injury and playing with confidence.

Fantastic experience: Lisa Chase and the team she has assembled are phenomenal...but that's not all that makes Back 2 Normal a "world class" organization! Lisa was recommended to me for an injury. Having previously worked for the Women's Tennis Association before starting her own company, she really knows her stuff. She can diagnose your problem and come up with a plan of action quickly. She uses all sorts of the latest technology for her field...and she not only treats your injury but takes a holistic approach with her clients ... so they can enjoy and live a prosperous life! After my injury was healed, I have continued on with her team (in particular Ilene & Heather) to act as my personal coach for strength training & flexibility. As a result, I am in the best shape of my life ... in fact, I should soon be back down to my college weight (...a loss of almost 80 lbs...)! Because of Back 2 Normal, not only have I extended my lifespan...but greatly enhanced my "healthspan"! I highly recommend Lisa and her team wihtout any reservations!

Fantastic experience: Back 2 Normal has reshaped my perspective, care and understanding on taking care of my chronic back/leg pain for the best! I have scoliosis and have had in the past PT and steroid injections to curb the pain/symptoms in the past. I was experiencing a flair up and nothing was working - Both medicine & regular PT. Thanks to a family recommendation I was able to visit Back 2 Normal within less than a 48 hour notice for help. I am located in Central Florida and Lisa and Team were able to see me back to back for 5 days to really work on treatment. Everyone (and I mean everyone) is incredibly kind, attentive, and extremely forthcoming in helping me understand the treatments and knowledge of what’s going on with my body. Thing I never considered to affect my pain - nutrition, organ movement, mobility/strength training, sleep, etc. - were addressed for the first time as tools to learn from and listen to in treatment. The level of communication and attention to my treatment is outstanding. This team all works together so there is no stone unturned in your treatment. I wish all level of care I experience in the health world was as attentive as Back 2 Normal! Within that first week of seeing them, my pain went from a 8/9 (unable to function/work/move in my daily life) to a 2 (ability to live my life normally, function, work etc.) Now I am able to continue treatment virtually with monthly in-person visits as I strengthen and heal. Thank you team!!!

Fantastic experience: I heard about Back2normal from a friend and decided to give them a try. I have been less than satisfied dealing with my previous therapy providers that were covered under my insurance. I must say from the moment I walked in to my last day there, it has been nothing but outstanding! Personally, most of my therapy has been provided by Heather and Danielle whom are both knowledgeable, patient and always helpful, giving words of encouragement and prove their expertise with amazing results. My strength and mobility has increased exponentially with their guidance. The state of the art technology combined with the skill and expertise they have shown have been remarkable for my recovery. I cannot say enough to portray my gratitude for how much they have helped me. Bonus points for being able to get this therapy reimbursed by my insurance ! Thank you Back2normal !

Fantastic experience: I went into Back 2 Normal therapy feeling broken. Living day in and day out in constant pain and truly wanting to crawl out of my body. I saw no light at the end of the tunnel…. until I met Lisa. Her holistic, yet affective approach to body care was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. After a few sessions we were able to identify the problem and begin treating it. Unable to workout prior I was eager to gain my strength back. In order to do so in a safe manner, Lisa introduced me to Ilene, a pilates instructor at Back 2 Normal. I have practiced pilates for many years, but nothing has brought me as much success as working with Ilene. She challenges the body in ways I had never been challenged before, taking my strength levels to new heights. I started at Back 2 Normal over a year ago, and continue taking pilates sessions with Ilene to this day. My body is better than back 2 normal, it’s better than ever. :)

Fantastic experience: I have known Lisa Chase for many years and her therapy has always been extremely helpful. She definitely has a gift for healing. Most recently I have had some knee and leg pain. I am grateful that a combination of laser treatments, Neubie and dry needling has given me considerable relief. The entire Back 2 Normal staff is excellent. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing place Back2Normal. Lisa and her staff are amazing. She has been instrumental in helping me with neuropathy treatments for my feet as a result of my diabetes. They are a compassionate group focusing on the well being of their clients. The one on one service focused on “you” is their strength. Sometimes your personal needs will get lost in a group session. You will not find a finer group of individuals anywhere they are the best!!

Fantastic experience: After my knee replacement I never thought I would ever be “back to normal” again. I was referred to Lisa and her staff for my PT and it was the best decision I could have made. The staff is so friendly and professional and on the cutting edge of physical therapy. Lisa is amazing and knows exactly what your body needs! I’m so thankful to them and my knee is actually back2normal!! I continue to see them for follow up treatments and I love my therapeutic Pilates classes with Charlene too!! I am walking, bike riding and doing regular workouts with no pain! I would highly recommend Lisa and her staff at Back2normal. They offer so much more than just physical therapy!!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience with Lisa. I am a former professional tennis player and received physio treatment for 14 years while competing. Back2normal is the best place I have been. The skillful staff and equipment got me back to feeling my best quickly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Full recovery from my back and legs problems. The best instructions for home exercise’s

Fantastic experience: Nothing but great things to say about B2N. I worked with Danielle for about 3 months on a facet joint sprain in my back and it was so refreshing to work with someone who just really knew her stuff. She correctly diagnosed my injury before any of my doctors did and started me on a PT plan that just made such good sense. It got to the point where I would hear one thing from my doctor and come back to get her opinion on it before proceeding. I got a real kick out of coming to her with my questions and watching her problem solve her way through my symptoms to arrive at her answer, only to be right about it every single time. She was kinda like an anatomy detective. Incredibly smart, super easy to spend time with, and taught me so much about how my body moves. I've still got a bit to go to get back to 100% but with everything she taught me, it wont take much longer to get there on my own. Also, Jennifer at the front desk is deeeelightful. Thank you to everyone there that helped me out. I'm grateful for you all. I hope I don't ever need to come back but if I do, I wont be totally upset about it

Fantastic experience: I can't say anymore positive things about Back 2 Normal!! Not only is the staff incredibly knowledgable, personable, and helpful but the quality of what you get in return is unmatched anywhere in the St. Pete area. I'm currently training for a 100 Mile Run, and I got some work done to help my recovery, mobility, and strength. I felt amazing after my visit. I learned so much about my body, and how to fuel it in ways I wasn't before. I can't wait to stop back in again! Thank you guys so much for taking care of me!

Fantastic experience: Went to see Lisa as part of a collaborative effort through the gym where I work. I am a personal trainer of 22yrs and I’ve seen of lots of different modalities to help people, outside of the hours we train each week. Lisa’s HRV(heart rate variability)scan and vagus nerve reset are like nothing that is out there in terms of gauging how recovered you are, how your central nervous system is functioning, how you’re sleeping, versus how you think you’re sleeping, your energy output/energy input, and much more! Lisa goes over in detail the results of your scan and gives you a report card and protocol on how to increase your heart rate variability if it is low and how to reset your central nervous system. Needless to say, this was mind blowing. If you’re someone who likes to work out, is very active, training for a race, but you just feel like you can’t recover or something is off, it is absolutely worth a trip to Back 2 Normal. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Most unbelievable place I have ever seen. I do advanced foot and ankle reconstructions and see athletes and people with major foot issues. All of Medicine these days focuses on insurance allowables and quick fixes, with no focus etiology or patient education. This place looks at the whole body to not only eliminate the immediate pain but prevent recurrence based on movement, strengthening, and nerve reeducation. They literally thought of everything in getting someone better. My mind was blown at how thoughtful they were in every aspect of injury and prevention. Every person is treated like a pro athlete regardless of their activity level. They spend time and truly care about people’s well being. A++

Fantastic experience: I started at Back 2 Normal after being frustrated with the options for healing a back injury without surgery. Lisa, Heather, and Charlene have been an amazing team in getting me to a point where I am not dealing with pain every day! I am finally optimistic about returning to things I haven’t been able to do in a very long time!

Fantastic experience: After 4 hip surgeries and countless injuries I have been to many different PT places. Back 2 Normal is the only place that has looked at my body as a whole, rather than just doing some basic exercises for the surgery/ injury. I have been working with both Lisa and Heather and am blown away by the care and attention they both give me. I have never been excited for physical therapy before, now I wish I could every day! Not only do they make my body feel better, the atmosphere and staff improve my mental health as well. I could write a novel about how much I love this place but, to simplify, as someone who has been going to PT on and off for the past 18 years- CALL TODAY FOR YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT!! You will be so happy you did

Fantastic experience: Lisa Chase and the entire team at B2N are all amazing and extremely qualified and knowledgeable. I recommend them to my family and friends. I appreciate all that they do to learn and stay current with new techniques and advancements and bring it back to the community.

Fantastic experience: I came to this place having pretty terrible lower back pain for about 3 months, having injured myself in the gym or something - hard to say. Anyway, I saw Danielle, and she gave what I’d consider to be quite expert advice. The things she told me to do were considered and catered to me, they provided clarity, and I felt taken care of. I’d imagine all the PT’s are wonderful at this place, though I can only fully recommend from my personal experience to ask for Danielle. She was great, and my back has, after only a week, felt much, much better.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Danielle was great.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this company. From the moment Jennifer answered the phone we knew we I would be in good hands. My therapist Dr. Danielle is clearly invested in my recovery and continues to make sure I learn something new with every visit. I feel safe and secure with her routines and the homework she provides. Dr. Danielle and Heather both work well together to make sure I get the best care. Thank you for giving me the confidence that one day I will get back to normal

Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Danielle is brilliant and experienced. She’s cured me of two painful injuries. And I do mean cured! Listen to her and you’ll get better. I would recommend anyone to her

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a modern day healer that has advanced methods in PT and whole body health and performance. Her experience with athletes and her methods to keep me healthy and running has kept me going back to Lisa for many years with trust in her passion for what she does. I have leaned on her expertise with PT for an injury that she helped get me through to finish one of my Boston marathons. I consistently go back for Bemer, Asea, turmeric and recently learned a lot about athletic performance through her HRV testing. If you are looking to heal or improve I highly recommend you visit Lisa at Back To Normal.

Fantastic experience: The Best there is. Period. Having been on both sides of the fence as a player and a professional coach on the WTA tour (where I first met Lisa ) there is no one else I trust with my players. I’ve had occasion to need her help with a lower lumbar spine injury and thanks to her I’m back able to deadlift, KB swing with loads I never thought possible again. Her level of professionalism and knowledge are unparalleled ! She gets results every time ! A big thank you to the B2N team and Lisa Chase !

Fantastic experience: As a owner of a high performance tennis academy in Sarasota , Fl and a coach of 4 top 20 WTA players, I’ve seen a lot of trainers/physics and PT’s , Lisa and her staff are by far the most knowledgeable and professional in their field. They have assisted with many of our athletes over the years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to help them with any and sports injuries!!!!! Thanks again Lisa Chase and Staff!!! Travis Eckert Next Generation Tennis Academy

Fantastic experience: Had my first appt at Back 2 Normal and saw Lisa. They were very accommodating me to get an appointment and moved things around for me. Also they came up with a diagnostic plan to see if they can help me. In the past I’ve had people work with me for months without results, and Lisa told me how she’ll know within a few appointments of diagnostics if she’ll be able to diagnose the issue. Very grateful for the finite timeline! The place looks really nice too. It’s much nicer on the inside than the outsid e

Fantastic experience: Lisa and Team have a deep knowledge of biomechanics and a very unique and valuable way of practicing physical therapy. They helped me identify some issues in my own movement, and addressing those has already made a positive difference in one week!

Fantastic experience: Originally, I sought help to assist with impinged nerves, pain in my right hip and down my right leg, as well as chronic pain in my lower back. Having not been athletic early in life, attempting to pursue fitness as an adult has presented its challenges. My experience at Back 2 Normal has helped me to gain confidence while increasing core, and overall, strength. I am very happy with their help and my progress!

Fantastic experience: Lisa Chase and her team work miracles at Back 2 Normal. After shattering my ankle bones I was immobile for many weeks after surgery which left me unable to stand, balance, walk, or even move my foot. Within several sessions, I was able to bear weight on my leg, stand, balance, move my foot, and then walk without the assistance of crutches or a walker. The advanced treatment modalities available at Back 2 Normal taught my brain how to use my leg and foot again in a short amount of time. I will forever be grateful for the loving and skilled care I received. I highly recommend Back 2 Normal for anyone needing physical therapy/rehabilitation.

Fantastic experience: Back 2 Normal delivers excellent physical therapy services, and all around great care. From the first phone call to the appointment, you really feel like they are paying attention and know what they're doing. If you're like me, you might have thought that, among one-on-one PTs (as opposed to one of those sausage factory facilities where you're one of several clients having simultaneous appointments, which you should avoid at all costs), the offerings were all pretty much alike. Not at all! B2N had been recommended several times, but because they weren't providers in my network I dismissed the idea. I found a decent PT, but was worried that the drive would make appointments impossible after shoulder surgery. It was hard enough with the injured shoulder. Knowing that shoulder surgery was *the worst* rehab, I wanted to do prehab. I figured I'd give the place one shot, since it was close and I'd heard great things. I am so glad I did. Now on the other side of surgery, in less than two weeks I have near full mobility. Tracey McFarlane is fantastic. Thank you all SO MUCH!!! My only regret is that I didn't go when I needed knee surgery! But having had these experiences almost back to back--1/2020 and 6/2022--I am so glad I did prehab. The shoulder has been so much easier than the knee, and the difference is this time I went to B2N for prehab and got fantastic care with Tracey. If you need a PT, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: I suffer from shin-splints which are very painful for me. I met with Lisa and she cleared them up! Amazing staff, and cutting edge technology in the office. Lisa used Deep Tissue Lazer on me. My pain was gone after one 30 minute treatment and Lisa pointed me in the right direction to buy orthotics so my pain wouldn’t come back. Lisa and her staff are amazing. I highly recommend Back2Normal!

Fantastic experience: Back2Normal is an amazing place with an incredibly talented staff. I worked with Kirsten dealing with a hamstring/pelvic issue and I couldn't be more pleased with the results..... pain going from almost intolerable to being able to be active again. I couldn’t be happier with the time and attention I have received. Not a better place to get you Back2Normal!!

Fantastic experience: It has taken me a long time to write this review. Mainly because I wanted it to be perfect and give a true reflection of my entire experience with Tracey. When I sought out to look for a reputable physical therapist for upper back, neck and shoulder pain I started by looking at reviews online. Back2Normal stood out to me not only because of the good reviews, but I liked the variety of techniques that were available. When I started therapy with Tracey I was so impressed by her knowledge and willingness to truly listen and address all of my concerns. She took the time needed to get to know my history and goals for therapy. I've been seeing Tracey on a weekly basis for 3 months now and am blown away by her knowledge and the results that her therapy techniques and recommendations have made. She takes the time to explain the reasons behind her recommendations and explains the physiology behind it all. She is experienced and passionate about helping people and it shows in the equality of her work. After applying what I've learned combined with treatments from Tracey I have dramatically improved. I'm in less pain and my overall well-being has improved. I highly recommend Tracey. She focuses on improving not only your pain but our overall wellness.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Back2Normal physical therapy as a result of a car accident. Dr Tracey McFarlane is simply terrific. She took time to understand the source of my pain, then developed a plan - in office and for me at home between appointments - to address each issue. She used hands-on therapy as well as laser and other tools. What a difference even after the first appointment! The whole team at the office conveys warmth, competence, and a focus on getting patients treated. I didn't feel there was any up-selling of services or pushing to extend treatments beyond what was going to be most effective. Also, handy downtown St Petersburg offices.

Fantastic experience: While everyone there is amazing, I primarily worked with Lisa, who clearly understood my issue, and provided clear direction on what I needed to do. I'm now back enjoying cycling and tennis, with a solid routine to prevent further issue. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: Back2Normal is an amazing place with a phenomenally talented staff that are masters at getting you rehabilitated and healed. I have worked with Heather for the past three months doing rehab Pilates and the results show for themselves — significantly decreased pain from my cervical injury and greater strength. I couldn’t be happier with the time and attention I have received from the whole staff. I am indeed almost Back2Normal!!!!

Fantastic experience: Lisa Chase and her team of highly trained physical therapist do an amazing job of getting to the root cause of the problem and then dealing with it rather than just the "in-the-moment" pain. I have experienced results that simply never happened with other physical therapy groups. In other words, my experience has been that Back2Normal is a state-of-the-art Physical Therapy Group that goes far beyond the level of care and treatment I have ever experienced before. What is quite different is the "collective" team effort they offer wherein their collective focus is the wholeness of each patient. To that end, my observation is that each team member brings their individualized skills, gifts, and passion, to reveal the ""whole person" we all wish to be. From the minute I walk in the door to the minute I walk out, I feel understood and cared for in a deep and wonderful way. Five stars from this happy client.

Fantastic experience: I am a physical therapist who has had chronic sacroiliac pain for decades. PT treatments in the past have only provided temporary relief and my symptoms have only worsened over time and extended into my leg. Lisa was able to eliminate my pain in our FIRST session. I was able to go about my day with more ease and mobility without my typical stiffness and pain symptoms. I was able to sleep through the night without any pain for the first time in decades. She has a deep understanding of the biomechanics of the body and how one joint may affect another, leading to multiple pain patterns that can interfere with life's daily functions. Her skill-base is unparalleled. Her power lies in her clinical knowledge and experience, as well as her manual skills in diagnosing and treating not only the primary problem, but also any underlying biomechanical and musculoskeletal issues that may be contributing to the primary problem. She was able to realign my spine and SI joint with gentle manual approach involving muscle energy techniques and other soft tissue/muscular treatments. She uses current state of the art technology and exercise techniques to help restore functional mobility and proper joint alignment. Back 2 Normal also offers other services for continued healing and strengthening to help meet your personal goals in returning to other activities. I respect the level of knowledge and expertise she and her team possess and am very grateful for the care that I receive there. I only wish to have come to her sooner!

Fantastic experience: I refer to the PT's at Back 2 Normal for all orthopedic conditions. Lisa and her team are fantastic and they help get you back to doing the things you love. She has even helped me with some back issues in the past. #stpete #backpain

Fantastic experience: I have visited and received treatment at BACK 2 NORMAL PHYSICAL THERAPY several times. On each visit, I was treated with friendliness, respect, and expert services from each and every staff individual encountered. The therapy services provided were very helpful in alleviating my condition; I would most definitely recommend Back 2 Normal to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I am a physician specializing in musculoskeletal medicine in the Tampa Bay Area and I have worked with many physical therapists. Physical therapists range widely in their skill levels and having a particularly good one can make a massive difference to the patient. Lisa Chase and her staff at Back2Normal are some of the most skilled therapists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are experienced in rehabbing a wide range of orthopedic issues from athletes to the aging population and are excellent at providing personalized care for each patient and their functional goals. I absolutely cannot recommend them too highly for those in need of a good physical therapist and wanting to get back to their activities.

Fantastic experience: Back2Normal is one of the finest PT facility I’ve ever been to . I had multiple shoulder surgeries and not one PT facility compares to Back2normal . Lisa and her staff are highly educated and has only the top notch equipment. Lisa introduced me to The Neubie which was highly effective . The compassion and dedication that Lisa has is unremarkable. Her vision for Back2Normal was to have a serene, peaceful & healing environment. You will absolutely feel and receive the healing and compassion when you walk into Back2Normal.

Fantastic experience: I have dealt with back pain on and off for years. It was informed by a local Doctor to try Back2Normal. I saw Lisa first and she was amazing. Lisa is the real deal - no voodoo medicine. She uses proven methods that gave me relief almost immediately. I have been seeing Lisa weekly and have added in other staff members like Ilene and Tracey. Tracey and Ilene tailor programs to meet your specific needs and they are also amazing people. Each staff member has their own field of expertise. Team has helped me establish a long term preventative back health and physical balance plan. The entire staff is like one loving family. They are all positive and professional. Heather and Jennifer bubble with joy and professionalism everyday. I would give them a 12 rating on a 10 being the best rating scale.

Fantastic experience: I have known Lisa for over 10 years. As a fellow physical therapist, Lisa is one of the select left few that I would refer my own family members to. Her dedication to innovation and refining her craft is exceptional.

Fantastic experience: I have had physical therapy at various places but have never had the quality of therapy that i have received at “back to normal” .The body knowledge that both Lisa and Tracy have is obvious when they work on you. You cannot find the experience and understanding that they put into their work anywhere else. In my opinion -Its the best!!

Fantastic experience: We are so grateful for the recovery our daughter has had with Back to Normal. Everyone is incredible and the outcomes have been remarkable. After tearing her ACL we needed immediate therapy to help reduce swelling, increase mobility and strengthen her muscles for surgery. Lisa got her started on a program immediately, that did all three. At a time when we didn't know what her outcome would be, Lisa and team jumped in and got her walking and moving unassisted, quickly. But beyond that, their kindness and energy and support has been like no other. They go out of their way to ensure she is supported throughout this recovery journey and getting 'back to normal' with her sports.

Fantastic experience: I have had an incredibly positive experience working with Lisa Chase and her fabulous caring team of professionals (Tracy, Heather, Eileen, Jennifer & Michelle) at Back2 Normal. When I first sought help I was struggling with a painful herniated disc in my lower back that was severely affecting my mindset, attitude and overall quality of life. I enjoy playing tennis, but had completely given up the sport. I even had trouble just sitting or standing for any length of time without experiencing intolerable pain. In addition, I lacked strength and flexibility in my lower body and core. Lisa and her team have worked with me for about 6 months. I am happy to report that I have made significant improvements that would not be possible without Lisa and the advance techniques and technologies like (Newbie) etc. I am much stronger, more flexible, out of constant pain, and confident about my body and its capabilities. I recently went downhill skiing and my back and body performed terrific. In addition, my chronic pain is gone and no longer do I fear sitting or standing and am now returning to tennis. I had struggled with my back for a couple years and I am so happy i finally took action by working with Lisa and Back2 Normal as they have restored my body and more importantly hope that i can live without chronic pain. Thank you very much Lisa and Team. I sincerely appreciate everything you did and are doing for me.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. I came here after going twice to a other nearby place. Tracey is the best PT I've worked with. She is very knowledgeable about the latest technology treatments. She also has good advice about healthy living besides my shoulder injury. The space is clean and inviting and the staff is friendly and professional. Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Back To Normal! I am currently being treated by Tracey. She has an incredible knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. Tracey takes the time to listen (for understanding) to my issues and limitations. I have always felt that my treatment and her advice was appropriate and very helpful for my situation. The entire team is very professional and friendly. The environment is also very welcoming and comfortable. Also, a big shout out to Heather….always smiling and happy.

Fantastic experience: I am 56 years old and have been an athlete my entire life. I have suffered a variety of different injuries, many of which required surgery and rehab. Most recently, I had a total hip replacement and was recovering well until I pulled a hamstring. It has lingered for nearly 6 months, causing me constant aching and pain. My orthopedist referred me to Back 2 Normal. I was slightly hesitant at first as I live in Tampa and they are located in St. Petersburg; however, after my first visit with Lisa, I would be willing to drive twice as far! Within two visits, my pain and discomfort had improved and Lisa had identified what my issues were and focused her treatment accordingly. When I first started at Back2Normal, I was only going once a week, but I was having such success with treatment that I increased to twice a week. I have also seen Physical Therapist Tracey, and she is amazing as well. The entire staff at Back 2 Normal is professional and friendly, and Michele the Front Office/Patient Care Coordinator is always timely in responding to phone calls and emails; and fun to talk to! I have already referred two friends and my husband to them, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone experiencing minor pain or needing rehab from major surgery; and anything in between!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this wonderful physical therapy practice!! I came to Lisa with a year old injury. Having worked with 2 other therapy practices with minimal relief from pain and limited return of my previous function and activity level, I was unsure if there was hope! But there was. Working with Lisa, I am back to my pre injury activities and no pain! Lisa is highly experienced and caring! If there is a way to treat your injury she will find it!

Fantastic experience: Back 2 Normal really cares about the patient to clinician relationship. You do not feel like a number here!!!

Fantastic experience: I met Lisa when she was treating the best pro tennis players in the world so of course when my shoulder started acting up she was my first call. She has been an amazing resource to me for every injury I have had over the past ten years. Other physios will do some exercises with you but she treats the issue with so many different options from Astym to Neubie to dry needling and then gives you a maintenance program to do on your own time to make you stronger. And she has a team of people in her office from therapeutic massage to restorative Pilates. She is the best!!

Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with the care that I received from Lisa Chase. After living with pain for a year and a half that was relentless, losing sleep, going through physical therapy at two other places, enduring painful steroid injections, etc., I finally found Lisa. Her treatment plan for me was very thoughtfully executed and the home exercise plan with how-to videos was easy to follow. I am feeling better and sleeping without pain. I would highly recommend Back2Normal Physical Therapy. Definitely not conventional physical therapy and well worth it!

Fantastic experience: Astonishing positive results from the most talented, professional and compassionate physical therapist in the Tampa Bay Area! Lisa has a wealth of knowledge and expertise, combined with true care and concern for her patients. I have lumbar disc degeneration and herniation, and was reluctantly considering surgery after months of unrelenting pain. Lisa carefully assessed my spine and applied just the right techniques to release pressure on the sciatic nerve. She patiently explained several stretches I could do at home to help the healing process. I wish I could hug her a million times in sincere gratitude for giving me my life back. Everything at Back 2 Normal is top notch, including a wonderful support staff and super nice facility.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go! Tracy was awesome and helped me through a knee Injury. Very informative and helped me get back on track! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The Back 2 Normal team is hands down the greatest physical therapy establishment I have ever worked with. I have had multiple femur breaks, as well as multiple lumbar spine surgeries, and no other physical therapy place has done half of the investigation and trial and error to see what would work for me. This is not a “cookie cutter” physical therapy office.I have received the best one on one care I have ever experienced! If you want real results with a dedicated team that will listen to you, and take the time to learn your body, look no further. Schedule an appointment and start feeling better again with the help of the wonderful therapists and staff at Back 2 Normal!

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Lisa Chase at Back2Normal since January and can say that it is one of the best decisions regarding my overall health I have ever made. Sixteen years ago I had neck surgery which resulted in pieces of metal and screws in my neck; two years ago I underwent anterior and posterior back surgery accumulating additional pieces of metal and screws in my body. Thankfully, I had great surgeons and both surgeries were successful. However, the cutting, nipping, stitching, stapling, scar tissue, etc, that occurs during such procedures resulted in other impacts to my body such as a lack of mobility, range of motion and muscle deterioration, all of which was having a negative impact on the day to day quality of my life. After searching for options to address these issues, I was referred to Lisa. I have to admit that she had been recommended to me previously but since her business doesn't accept insurance, I decided to continue searching for someone who would. Finally, the discomfort and pain was so unrelenting that I went to see her and I now regret not having sought her out sooner. I have some chronic issues, some muscles barely worked at all and others were overworked and my body didn't "bend" in normal ways. My range of motion was severely limited. After each session (all unique and zeroing in on a whole body approach), Lisa sends me home with exercise videos to work on in between our sessions. We have made great progress in these past several months. I tell her that I feel like an old house with layer upon layer of wallpaper on its walls and she is removing them one layer at a time! We still have more work to do but I am so thankful to be working with her. Recently, my husband and I did our annual patio cleaning which requires polishing the chrome on our patio furniture, washing all the cushions, replanting some plants, etc. Normal outdoor springtime endeavors that require a lot of energy. Usually it would take us a couple of day to complete and I would have been in great pain for several days thereafter. I am happy to report that we had the energy to accomplish it all in one day and, while totally exhausted, I felt rather normal the next day. That was a miracle in my book! Still a ways to go but I'm thankful that Lisa is patiently guiding me to a healthier better me. I look forward to seeing her staff when I arrive for my appointments. The office, led by Gayle, exudes a welcoming, efficient and comfortable environment and you have the feeling that your well being is their priority. I look forward to continuing my journey at Back2Normal and working with Lisa and her staff, becoming stronger physically after each visit and enjoying my daily life more fully as a result. Lisa is a blessing in my life and I'm sure she will be in the lives of others she is yet to meet.

Fantastic experience: I came to Back 2 Normal after suffering debilitating back pain. From the moment I met Gayle at the reception desk throughout my time with Anne-Marie and her comforting hands and manner, I felt special and cared for. The pain was completely gone after just a few weeks and with the exercises that Anne Marie recommended to help me keep my body in the best shape possible, I look forward to continued relief. I highly recommend this staff at Back 2 Normal to make you feel special.

Fantastic experience: I had 2 artificial cervical discs placed in my neck last fall. I hit a point post surgery where I felt my progress had plateaued. I was having muscle pains. And I was frustrated. My surgeon recommended I find a Pilates based PT and this is when I discovered Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy. Anne Marie is an amazing therapist. She got me past that plateau after my first visit! I am so excited to see the progress Anne Marie has helped me make. My mobility is improving and my muscle pain is resolving! I highly recommend you try Back 2 Normal!

Fantastic experience: I have an extensive background in physical / nutritional healing and this is the ONLY place I trust to work on my body. Kind, caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable - you'll walk out feeling better every time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have seen physical therapists for years on and off to help with a disc bulge in my neck and I've never felt such instant pain relief than with Anne-Marie. She has worked wonders to help stop my neck pain and tightness! She also explain exercises and stretches in a way that you not only understand how to do them, but shows how things are connected so you understand the WHY and the benefit better. She is truly gifted with her abilities and really cares about giving you the relief and healing you need!

Fantastic experience: After being in pain for over a year, my cousin recommended I go see Lisa at Back 2 Normal. Best decision ever! Lisa and her staff of wonderful Physical Therapists have helped me tremendously and I would highly recommend this wonderful group. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: Heather and Anika were amazing I fully recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: PT with Lisa at Back 2 Normal has significantly improved my back issues. I have really benefited from the focused attention and therapeutic treatments I have received. The digital homework videos were especially helpful as well. And, I’ve been particularly impressed with the cleanliness and care at this facility in light of the challenges surrounding the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Lisa by my trusted PT in Michigan, after dealing with severe sciatica that disabled me. Using therapeutic techniques that are not often applied in other PT offices, Lisa has helped me heal completely, and has given me hope for a healthier future. I can't recommend Back2Normal enough.!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently attended Charlene’s pelvic floor workshop and learned so much. Charlene is very knowledgable, friendly and a clear communicator. The workshop was held in a very small group and provided a combination of information sharing and opportunity to exercise with with one on one feed back. The workshop was offered at a very reasonable price and I look forward to follow up workshops on this topic and others.

Fantastic experience: They are not enough words and adjectives I can use to describe how amazing my experience has been at back2normal. Lisa and her team have exceeded my ever expectation and proven many times over she is above all others in her expertise! I drive 1:45hr one way happily to have her treat me and now am better than every expected.

Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying, the entire team at Back 2 Normal is absolutely amazing! 5-Star reviews are not something I hand out lightly, but the care I received here was absolutely 5-Star. Every member of their team (shout out to Gayle and Heather!) has been warm, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I spent the last couple of months working closely with Anika Arevalo, and I can honestly say it’s been life changing. Anika is thorough, attentive, gentle and extremely knowledgeable. The care you receive here is custom and personalized. Anika is encouraging, comforting and motivating. I am moving forward stronger and with far more knowledge of my body than before my pain began. She utilized a variety of therapies in my treatment plan, always gave me options, always explained everything and answered all of my questions. Now, I’m feeling like a stronger version of myself than before my pain began, which as a young active woman, is so important to me. Anika has also given me the tools I need to continue my journey independently. While I no longer need regular appointments, I am comforted to have Anika and the Back 2 Normal team on my side if I ever need them! Thank you so much for everything, I’m grateful to have found such an excellent team to care for me!

Fantastic experience: My initial need for reaching out to Lisa and her staff was for lingering pain and limited ROM from a frozen shoulder that I had experienced for over a year. Within two months I was back2normal and thrilled. Unfortunately an accident 6 weeks later caused me to return. It's been a journey these last 4 months but I know that with the help of Lisa, Oneka and Heather, I am able to return to normal activity without pain. The state of the art technology and their constant continuing education makes this office exceptional and above the rest.

Fantastic experience: The team is fabulously crafted. Brilliant and dedicated women who are truly experts. They tend with specialized care tailored to each individual. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: After 3 back surgeries and ultimately an L5/S1 fusion i was still experiencing pain in my low back. I decided to start physical therapy with Lisa and her team. In one visit Lisa was able to identify my problems and put together a plan to get me back on the tennis court. After a few months i have significantly less pain and am able to play tennis again after 3 years off the court! I have done physical therapy many times at many different places over the past 15 years. Lisa's techniques and methods are far superior to anything i have done before. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This Physical Therapy team is amazing from the initial evaluation to maintenance therapy. Lisa helped me work through Severe Achilles tendon problems as well as the mechanical compensation issues. I now can walk and run without pain. You will not regret your decision choosing Lisa and her team!! The front desk crew are topnotch as well!!

Fantastic experience: My lower back was hurting after months of working from home with an improper office setup. Anika provided me a great plan to get back to all of my activities, including playing soccer. The plan wasn't just powering through different exercises, and she made sure I targeted the specific areas I needed to. I would definitely return to the Back 2 Normal team and work with Anika again. Thank you for your help!

Fantastic experience: Big shout out to Lisa Chase and her amazing staff - Heather Politano is an amazing PTA with knowledge of Pilates that is mind blowing. Every session is different and engaging and inspiring. Front desk Gail is Johnny on the spot with booking appointments. Can’t say enough good things about Lisa herself - her depth of knowledge, expertise and treatments are first class. And they all have hearts of gold and are truly committed to helping you heal. You won’t be disappointed.
