The Body Mechanics Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I high recommend The Body Mechanics. I've had a lot of physical therapy, and found Janelle better than the others. She truly cares and is very knowledgeable. Janelle is very knowledgeable, and she tailors workouts to your specific needs. She doesn't just give you an exercise and go off to help someone else. You have her individual attention and she stays with you to make to make sure you do each exercise correction with correct posture for the maximum benefit. I saw her for neck, back and hip problems which are much improved. Thank you Janelle for all your help.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Janelle and Kim for assisting me with my shoulder injury. You designed a tailored plan that outlined the proper exercises to have optimal health and functionality of my shoulder. You both were so encouraging, knowledgeable, and helpful and in sync to ensure that you listened to my goals, designed a treatment plan that was specific to my injury, and shared helpful tips during my sessions. Today I graduated, and will miss working with you both. But I know that I can continue to use the skills that you provided to manage the pain with my bone spur, prior injury of torn muscle, and prayerfully live pain free! I highly recommend the Body Mechanics to anyone who needs physical therapy, as you will be welcomed and treated as family as they design a treatment plan that is right for any injury!! Blessings, Maria Emigh

Fantastic experience: I want to "Thank" Kim & Janelle for helping me through this bump in my life. Also, I can't forget little Cece for lifting my spirits everytime I had an appointment. I'm stronger now and more knowledgeable on the exercises I need to continue in my exercise routines. Very Respectfully, Tiffany

Fantastic experience: I walked in one day with pain and despair. I left a few months later with renewed strength and confidence. Thank you Dr. Janelle, Kim, and Al. You were just what I needed to regain my health and spirit.

Negative experience: I did NOT have a good experience with Janelle at Body Mechanics Physical Therapy. On multiple occasions she belittled my anxiety. She also interjected her political opinions during our therapy sessions, which made me uncomfortable. During the 'active range of motion' phase of my surgical protocol she prescribed an inappropriate resisted exercise that resulted in injury. When my wife addressed this issue with her, Janelle responded with hostility and criticized her for even raising the concern. I no longer felt my health and safety were in her best interest. Janelle's refusal to take responsibility, along with her dismissive behavior, broke my trust in her as a healthcare provider.

Fantastic experience: Good care

Negative experience: Janelle, for the safety of patients it's important to be accountable and admit when you make a mistake. When a patient raises safety concerns, it's important to listen and respond with care, rather than reacting defensively and belittling their experience. From one clinician to another, wall push-ups are not an "active range of motion exercise." Nor is it “just like” a submax shoulder isometric or an unweighted active-assisted press. It is a closed-chain resistance exercise that is clinically shown to be roughly 9% of a patient's body weight in resistance. A movement that loads the anterior joint capsule and should be avoided until at least 12 weeks post-op Anterior Bankart Repair (not performed at 7 weeks). Protocols are not "just guidelines" as you tried to argue - they are evidence-based practices required for the safety of surgical patients. It was very disappointing that my reasonable and valid concerns were met with immediate defensiveness, dismissiveness, and doubling down. It was highly unprofessional and frankly unnecessary behavior that I’ve never witnessed in my decade of experience in this field.

Fantastic experience: Janelle is wonderful and helped me immensely with lower back issues during postpartum recovery. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Thank-you so much Janelle and Kimberly for all your help with all my back problems. I would recommend you to anyone that needs help. When I came in April 2023, I was still relying on using my cane, but now I can walk without it and get stronger every day with simple easy exercises that you have shown me. I am so encouraged at my progress and know that as I continue, I will get stronger. I thank you both for being so caring and understanding with my therapy sessions and also for my husband, Joe's balance problems. Your exceptional knowledge on pinpointing the problem areas and working on those muscles have been such a blessing to me. Sincerely Kay Schaufler

Fantastic experience: Janelle is an amazing physical therapist. She listens and truly understands your concerns. The facility is immaculate and never a wait. She is always punctual and on time. I am so happy that she offers one on one therapy vs the other providers in town who try and see 3 to 4 clients at once. She is able to give you her full attention to make sure your doing things correctly. I highly reccomend this facility.

Fantastic experience: Best therapist ever.

Fantastic experience: They were able to help me with my successful physical therapy on my hip replacement when big corporate America could not! I highly recommend Janelle!

Negative experience: Dr. Janelle only cares about making money and does not truly care about how her patients are doing. She lost hope in me as I was teaching full-time, finishing a Master's Degree, and seeing her as often as I could, mainly 2 to 3 times a week. One week she would tell me that she was proud of me and the next week it would be comments of disappointment. I was so discouraged that I cried, and she handed me a tissue and told me that her next patient was coming in. She has a cold heart, and I highly recommend other rehabilitation centers. I am now walking with the help of another physical therapist in Melbourne, Florida who truly cares and would NEVER treat his patients this way. I do NOT recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Body mechanics PT is awesome. The facility is clean and well taken care of. Janelle is an a great Physical therapist and is very knowledgeable. She cares tremendously about her patients health and well being. She has helped me improve greatly with my broken ankle injury. Definitely go to body mechanics....

Fantastic experience: Dr Janelle provided outstanding help in improving my mobility and balance after enduring a bad fall. Previous pain relievers allowed healing to take place but I had developed numerous bad habits favoring muscles that had been injured. Dr Janelle was very thorough in evaluating my deficiencies and structuring therapies to correct them. I hope I will never need her services again but if I do, there will be no hesitation in requesting her help. Thanks Dr Janelle.

Fantastic experience: Janelle (owner operator) is a very knowledgeable and attentive therapist. She is well versed in many different therapy techniques. The facility is geared towards one-on-one therapy sessions and is very well equipped. Great therapist / Great facility. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable physical therapist. Wonderful attitude, she actually takes time and goes in depth and out of her way to help. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: I have had several knee surgery's which caused problems with scar tissue. I have been to several physical therapists and most of the sessions were very painful. Recently I went to Body Mechanics on a recommendation. I have just completed six weeks of sessions with Dr Janelle Biele and am very impressed. She was able to do more for me with a minimum of pain than anyone I have gone to in the past. Janelle also detected an infection in my knee based on the heat in the knee area. I had recently complained about the pain to my internist who failed to diagnose the problem. The infection turned out to be a serious staff infection which required a major surgery of the knee. I was told I could have lost my leg if the infection had continued much longer. I credit and thank Dr Biele for diagnosing this knee pain as an infection. I also have a problem with lymphedema due to removal of cancer infected lymph nodes. Janelle gave me suggestions of dealing with the lymphodema which no one else had given me much information about. Dr Janelle Biele is a friendly, compassionate and highly qualified young lady who I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Biele for head/neck lymphedema following radiation treatment of tonsil cancer. She immediately provided actionable advice to address the issues, which is rare in Brevard County. While demonstrating and documenting my issues, she educated me on what I would have to do for the rest of my life to deal with the residual damage. I learned more about the issue from her than from my radiation oncologist. If you've had head or neck radiation treatments for cancer, you're going to need this and Dr. Biele is a great choice!

Fantastic experience: Janelle is the answer to prayers! She was able to fix things with my body that multiple doctors and chiropractors couldn’t figure out. Any problem I have presented her with she has been able to solve. She is sweet, down to earth, and open to holistic approaches as well. I would recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Janelle Biele does amazing work! She is professional, courteous and she knows her stuff. I have had multiple injuries to both of my shoulders that could have required surgery but Dr. Janelle worked with me for months until I could move again. and not be in pain. I am pain free today and I am grateful for her expertise in her field. If you have any physical pain, I recommend you call today and make an appointment. She will help you feel better!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Dr. Janelle Bielle is a very knowledgeable professional and very pleasant to work with. I learned a lot and most importantly my recovery at end of the course of treatment was remarkable.

Fantastic experience: I was in town visiting from LA and looking for a physical therapy place to diagnose and treat some complex symptoms I was having which required a combination of neck strengthening and vertigo treatments. From the moment I spoke with Janelle on the phone, I knew Body Mechanics was the place for me. Janelle was so kind and incredibly patient, especially with someone like me who asks a lot of questions and is very particular about doing all their exercises correctly. I've never had a physical therapist who'd answer my questions via email; Janelle not only did that but got back to me promptly each time. She listened and really cared about making me better. Don't hesitate to visit this gem of a place.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Janelle Biele is the most knowledge and caring physical therapist I have ever had. I had a right hip replacement in April 2015. Since then I have had a limp, a lingering lower right side back pain and periodically excruciating sharp pain in my front right thigh. After attending many sessions at other physical therapy places, my symptoms really did not disappear. I wanted a therapist that really gets to know my body, and one who always would work with me as opposed to different therapists at various sessions. I started with Dr. Janelle in late October 2019 and as of February 2020, guess what---I walk WITHOUT a limp, no lower back pain or thigh pain. I am a new person! Thank you Dr. Biele for your patience, encouragement (just love those leg lifts with circles), professionalism and your extensive knowledge about muscles. You're the best and I am so grateful! Aug. 31, 2020. Since my previous review, I attend The Body Mechanics TherafitPT program once a week for one-on-one personal training. It helps me maintain my strength, flexibility and especially my balance. Besides Dr. Biele, Liam and Tiffany who are also excellent therapists, work with me. The whole team are just wonderful friendly people who really care about your individual needs. I highly recommend anyone who needs PT to go here. Eva Carus

Fantastic experience: Lymphedemic and occupational therapy provided to me by Dr. Beile after extensive cancer related surgery has helped me reduce swelling and increased my range of motion. I recommend Body Mechanics Physical Therapy whole heartedly for all you physical therapy needs. The facility is conveniently located, fastidiously clean and well equipped.
