Fantastic experience: Dr.Orlando is the best!! i had been dealing with lower back pain for the last 10 or so months and after doing the 10 session plan i’ve learned so much about my own body along with my strengths and weakness’s, and triggers for my back pain etc. i’ve for sure walked away with a better back, more knowledge and the security if i ever have issues again i know someone who’s awesome that can help me. i’d openly recommend him to anyone he’s super welcoming and nice and for sure a big genuine help. Thanks sm Orlando!

Fantastic experience: Orlando gave me my life back. I was unable to move, work or play with my toddler. I can do all those things now. It took less than two months with Orlando. Almost 6 months have passed since I stopped seeing him for PT and have had no further issues.

Fantastic experience: Orlando has helped me get back into weight training and regaining my strength postpartum both times! He works diligently to help you have mind to muscle connection & target the right areas rather than doing the movement wrong which could lead to injury. He is so knowledgeable and will work hard to make your program fit YOUR lifestyle. Thank you for your help orlando!

Fantastic experience: As a former high level athlete I have experienced my fair share of injuries. As I have gotten older I have needed more maintenance than a jeep wrangler.. that being said, Dr. Orlando has been an essential aspect of keeping me in the gym as well as on the golf course. Explains everything very well as well as gives you clear and concise exercises to continue on your own time. At the end of the day he makes it clear that his goal is for you to feel better and move better. I would 100% recommend him to any level of athlete or person seeking PT.

Fantastic experience: Orlando is amazing. I have an increase arch in my back and helped me perform advanced sit ups without any discomfort. Very humble therapist and will listen to you. Also he is a phenomenal athlete and will deal great with athletes and sports injuries. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is not only an amazing PT but the best educator for anyone interested in the physical therapy profession! He welcomed me to shadow him as I was interested in PT, and within one day of being around him and what he does, he truly inspired me to go to school for my DPT. I hope to embody the passion and care he brings to every patient.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is the real deal! I competed at Wodapalooza with him. He practices what he preaches. There are so few DPT's who have the experience that he does. He worked on my wrist before our competition and did some dry needling. I was hesitant, but he assured me with evidence, and it turned out much better than I imagined. He's a true healer!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is extremely generous with his time and expertise. I truly felt that he heard my concerns and crafted a treatment plan specific to me. No cookie cutter answers! 10/10 highly recommend him for any of your needs.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Orlando by my fitness instructor. He was very thorough and gave me a group of exercises. I’m feeling better and plan to see him again. I was looking for an alternative to medications and injections.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is by far the best Dr. for someone who is trying to stay active and work through an injury. He genuinely cares, and is extremley knowledgeable . I would highly recommend him. There is simply not enough space to put all of the postive things I have to say about his process.

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Orlando for reoccurring low back pain from lifting. He communicated my injury very well and was able to work through some tests and ways to prevent and strengthen the core and hips to avoid pain and injury in the future. With some treatment and technique changes I am more confident to lift and it’s pain free!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando has been such a joy and asset to have alongside my fitness journey. I just had baby #3 when I met him at Thunder Performance. Background: I was a college athlete that had been playing one position in one sport since I was 3. So there has been a lot of injuries and old body habits that have developed and become "normal" over the years. When I first went to him it was because I was having a lot of limitations and pain with my crossfit. We immediately went to work to address the pain but also learn where my body and I started to make compensations over the years for injuries or weaknesses. After one session: pain immediately started to lessen, my movements started to improve, and my PRs started to increase. His method is not just to see you and help you in that moment but to set you up to continue to learn, grow, and improve. Not only is he super skilled and knowledgeable but he is genuinely a good person. He remembers who you are, where you are at in life, and cares about you as a person not just a client. He wants good things for you and will always find a way to make time to get you in to see him. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Orlando, is the best physical therapist I've ever seen. He's a step above the rest.

Fantastic experience: Severe and repetitive muscle strain had knocked me out of golf for 2-3 months at a time for a couple of years until I signed up with Orlando. Since then I have not missed a golf date. He is a miracle worker. JIm Hale

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is beyond committed to each one of his clients to an extent I have not seen before. His way of explaining everything is unbelievably helpful.

Fantastic experience: Dr Orlando is amazing. From little aches and pains or major challenges you have faced for years, he can put a plan together to get you back on track.

Fantastic experience: I have been a long term fitness enthusiast (CrossFit 4-6x a week for 10 years) and working with Dr. Orlando has help address significant areas of weakness and giving me confidence that I will be doing what I love for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: Dr Orlando was amazing to work with!! My daughter had an ankle injury a week before she was supposed to compete (gymnastics & weightlifting). Orlando was able to evaluate the injury and begin treatment immediately, and although the injury kept her from her gymnastics meet she was still able to compete in the weightlifting meet and won. Orlando was extremely knowledgeable and even made the treatment sessions fun. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any injury recovery and maintenance PT treatment work.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad that I found Dr. Orlando! Years of being active with strength training and other exercises started to take a toll on my mobility. I booked my initial consultation with Dr. Orlando with a broad range of mobility and other issues I had been experiencing. I have been seeing Orlando for the last few months and I have never felt better in my life. His knowledge of his practice and movement is incredible. He is very thorough and makes the entire process easy to understand and worthwhile. Mobility really is the key to longevity, and I am so glad I found Dr. Orlando to help me feel better and move bette than I have in my entire life!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for sport specific or general rehab of your body, Orlando is your guy. I find his instagram @fitter.health the most informative when it comes to specific movement patterns with videos that break it down in a way you can truly understand YOUR body. He is particular and personal to your care and overall goals. He’s a great guy to work with and learn from. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is the best fysiotherapist I have had. He’s so passionate about his work and very knowledgeable about sports injuries, which was so important to me, as I wanted to get over my injury as fast as I could without overdoing anything. I can highly recommend him, and I know I can count on him in case a get new sports injuries.

Fantastic experience: When I think of Dr. Orlando, I think of an expert I trust. Dr. Orlando is a professional who cares about his patients and will take the time to tailor his approach to their needs. I have leveraged Fitter Health services for PT treatment sessions and personal programming - both of which have exceeded my expectations. I have made significant progress with Dr. Orlando in identifying and strengthening my weaknesses. Dr. Orlando practices what he preaches, which makes Fitter Health an incredible service to use.

Fantastic experience: Best Dr out there for sports medicine! Had a chat about 20 mins about exercises and diagnosis to get the best help out of the situation. Dr Orlando gave me 6 prehab exercises and 2 rehab exercises. A month later and completely pain free and will continue to do those before each session! Shoutout to Dr Orlando for the best help I’ve got this far in my career!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando listened to everything I had to say before jumping to any conclusions on what could be causing the pain I was having. He provides quality care and exercises to make you strong and to have the end goal of being pain free. Checking in to see how you are feeling and giving honest recommendations for the need for future visits. Couldn’t ask for better care!

Fantastic experience: Dr.Orlando is the man!!!! Not only does he have the knowledge, but he teaches and explains to you throughout the process. Whether it is for treatment or personal training, he will help you reach your goals. Perfect mix of pushing you to your limits without killing you and keeping a great mood.

Fantastic experience: Working with Orlando has been nothing short of excellent, especially when it comes to the knowledge, help and professionalism with his clients! I came to him with a left knee issue that I’ve been dealing with since high school. Since seeing him I’ve had a drastically decreased amount of pain in my knees & back, gained more strength in my muscles and joints and no longer am limited by certain leg exercises. If you need assistance and solid results with an existing or previous injury or just need an accountable trainer, work with him! It’ll be more than worth it! Can’t wait to work with him again soon!

Fantastic experience: I came to Orlando with severe back pain. I couldn’t walk, sit, stand, or sleep without pain. Orlando did a quick and painless assessment and realized it wasn’t necessarily a back issue, but an apparent long time hip issue. We did some dry needling for my muscles, and by day 2 I could walk, sit, stand and sleep comfortably. We followed up with a second session where he watch some movement patterns and took some measurements and created a program for me to do at home. He corrected my squat form and provided me with information how to continue that correction. Very happy to have him as a coach and a physical therapist! 10/10 recommend - it doesn’t hurt he’s easy to talk to a very funny. You’ll feel right at home!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Orlando for all PT needs. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring. My daughter had a severe ankle injury from a gymnastics fall and he not only got her to better than expected but she had confidence again. He is thorough and goes above a beyond.

Fantastic experience: After visiting Dr Orlando on my initial visit, I knew I was in great hands. Not only a great doctor and physical therapist, but a genuine great person who truly cares about his patients. When I found out I tore my ACL, I was very scared and confused, he helped in every possible way! Highly recommend Fitter Health.

Fantastic experience: Working with Dr. Orlando has helped me realize to be more aware of my body for fitness. I kind of looked at it as wellness assessment. I work out six days a week and I love it. Keeps me fit & mentally sane. I’ve had minor injuries, but with assessment , he has helped me with my pulled muscles, awareness and guidance to approach certain lifts ️‍♀️ , as well as the correct stretching before and after workouts. Whether you have an injury or looking for fitness maintenance on your body, check him out. Your body is a lifelong commitment

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. I was originally having major shoulder pain and could not lift my arm overhead and I thought the weightlifting season was over for me. I went to the family doctor and he said I shouldn't put any weight on it for 6-8 weeks but that would completely put me out of competing with no chances at going to the next level. My coach after hearing this recommended me to Dr. Orlando. Dr. Orlando is a professional with lots of experience especially with high-performance athletes. He was able to pinpoint the problem almost immediately and after the first visit, I felt like a new person. I was able to use my shoulder again and it was a great feeling. Now I see him regularly as maintenance and whenever anything goes wrong he is quick to fix it. Other than being great at what he does Dr. Orlando is all around a great guy and if anyone has an injury or mobility issue should not shy away from making an appointment.

Fantastic experience: Best PT I’ve ever been to. I was in and out of different physical therapy offices for most of my high school lacrosse career due to a tear in my hamstring that I kept re hurting. That was until I met Orlando. He not only helped me get through my senior season without injuring my self again, he was very knowledgeable with everything he did. Whenever we did anything he fully explained what he was doing and how it would help me. I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Orlando is one of the most knowledgeable in the field. He has such passion for what he does and that’s help people. His listening abilities are the backbone to fixing whatever ailment or issue you have going on. The recommendations he gives put you back on track to getting better. The best part about seeing doctor Orlando is how much of a difference you feel immediately after being treated. Whether you need consistent treatment or once in a while, highly recommend checking out Fitter Health. Definitely going to be a long time patient/customer/person to refer others to be treated.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando has been an integral part of my recovery from two bulging disks. He is knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. Adding physical therapy to my chiropractic care has made a huge difference in my mobility and quality of life. Going to Dr. Orlando is money we’ll spent!

Fantastic experience: Love working with Orlando! He does an amazing job of listening to your story and symptoms and treats accordingly. I’ve been seeing him for trigger points and tension headaches in my head and neck. Dry needling has helped tremendously! He’s also helped me tune up some other annoyances in my broken body He’s simply the best and really tailors to athletes of all sorts. If you want to keep moving he’s your guy!!

Fantastic experience: Orlando has worked on both me and my twin 17 year old boys whom do multiple sports… he was extremely helpful in healing their physical issues (hip flexor, both ankles) and educating them on how to avoid getting injured in the future… also helped me with a shoulder injury and knee injury… he is extremely friendly and fun but also makes you work hard to heal and get better and hopefully not injure yourself again.

Fantastic experience: I have been in the CrossFit space for about 10 years now and have dealt with various injuries and been to various outpatient physical therapists in that time. Unfortunately, the overwhelming theme in those offices was sell more treatments, don't solve the problem, and that put a real sour taste in my mouth with sports medicine. About 3 months ago, I was slammed with 3 different injuries and had heard great things about Dr. Orlando, both personally and professionally. In those 3 months, all 3 of my injuries are on the tail end of recovery and that was done through him attacking the issues at the root. For the first time in a very long time, I am pain free, enjoying CrossFit again, and enjoying being able to use my body. There's one thing Orlando said that solidified my belief in him, he said, "I don't want to see you more than 6-8 times, if that is the case, I need to send you to a specialist." Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Smart and sensible PT for athletes and anyone who wants to feel great and move well. I give my highest recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Fitter Health and Dr. Orlando has been such extreme help when it came to my hamstring issue. From the very first day of doing movements to now it has been night and day. Back in December I over extended my hamstring and was at the end of my training for running Dopey marathon weekend 2023. Coming back I knew I need to do something so I booked an evaluation with Orlando, and he knew exactly what to do after the evaluation to get back to motion. Then shortly after i did something to my side and i was in severely in pain, scared to do any lifting or any barbell work. From his exercises before and after working out I went from barely getting a full stretch back to fully back and back to lifting and barbell classes! I highly recommend setting up anything with Dr. Orlando, he is the best!

Fantastic experience: Orlando is absolutely amazing. I had bad pain going down my left leg and in two sessions he made it disappear. He literally is a wizard.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Orlando is kind, knowledgeable and can help you work through any injury/ailment you’re dealing with! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced PT.

Fantastic experience: Orlando is extremely knowledgeable and caring for all of his patients. He has treated a few of my teams mates and I and we have all achieved great results. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: From my experiences with other physical therapists- I am very impressed by the work done here. I find Orlando very thorough through the evaluation and treatment process. I would recommend to anyone working with injury or trying to get to know how to work with their body correctly.

Fantastic experience: Orlando has fixed my knee and foot through his treatments and exercises. Definitely give him a chance before you think about surgery.

Fantastic experience: Orlando is a true magician. Our 9 year old Crossfit buff got injured while we were staying inFlorida for a few months. Orlando's calm, science, empathy and magic hands (of course) got him back to doing what he loves the most in just a couple sessions. And, as a bonus, Orlando preaches what he teaches as being one of the fittest person we've come across. Thanks a lot Orlando, you're now clearly Olivier's reference and part of our family's story : "is he / she as good as Orlando"?

Fantastic experience: Orlando is hands down the GREATEST Physical Therapist out there and just an all around incredible person. He goes above and beyond to not only make sure you feel better but also makes sure you work better as a whole. He’s super knowledgeable and does everything he can to address every concern (even if you come in with 60 new things each time). I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else

Fantastic experience: Orlando has made a HUGE impact on my understanding of how to take care of my body properly to allow me to perform well. His knowledge on how to optimize performance by proper movement and warm up/rehab technique has been life changing. Highly recommend! Also- highly recommend the dry needling! It saved my shoulder!

Fantastic experience: Orlando is THE best! He's worked with my gymnast on and off for over a year. He makes recovery through fitness fun and safe. He has the most amazing ability to find the positive in every situation. We love coming to see him! He's a great physical therapist, too.

Fantastic experience: Fitter Health is great! Dr Orlando is one of the smartest and most caring physical therapists I've ever met. They care for their patients far past just fixing a knee or a shoulder. They want the whole person to walk away better than before. I honestly cant say enough good things about Dr Orlando and Fitter Health. You can be certain that any treatment received from Fitter Health will be the best of the best!

Fantastic experience: Fitter Health is a full spectrum rehabilitation facility which provides various comprehensive treatments for all injuries and ailments. Dr Harvard's attention to detail and thorough examinations allow him to create the appropriate treatment plan and assisted me with returning back to my normal lifestyle, tout de suite.
