Fantastic experience: There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Florida Physio—but I’ll try. In every respect professional, yet friendly and relaxed. Clearly highly intelligent and broadly experienced. Brilliant, effective and customized care for patients, which speaks to their ability to adapt their years of experience to the individual. Most importantly, when you follow their directions, you get the results you need.

ICG 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I wanted to write an updated message to my original post below. In my 2+ years of attending workouts at Florida Physio, I have gained a lot of strength, my ability to play golf on a consistent basis and hopefully make a mark on father time. I am 71 years old and still actively play golf 2 to 3 times a week plus I have the ability to hit balls and practice on the days that I am not playing. This could have happened without my continued workouts with Florida Physio. The older you get the more physical work a person needs, whether you work with a group or one on one or hybrid classes that Florida Physio offers, you cannot go without this process. If you in your 60s headed to your 70s, the only way to sustain your energy and strength is with a solid program with Florida Physio. The staff is very professional, and very organized in their workout Plans that they devise for their clientele. If you’re undecided or not sure, make an appointment to go in to see Leighton, and his team at Florida Physio and Let them put together a plan that can put you on the road to recovery or help you sustain your physical well-being going forward. Waiting is not an option, taking action and trying to improve your health is the only way to an extended life. Leighton Peavler is my PT therapist. 16 months ago, I was not able to play golf without a lot of pain. I was referred to Leighton, and began my journey to regain my health and play pain free golf. At my age, i guess nothing is pain free anymore, but i am able to play several days in a row, with some minor soreness at the worst. With the plan that Leighton has put together for me, it has been a revelation for me. As a golfer gets older, you need a plan to stay healthy and enjoy the great game of golf. Leighton helps players from Korn Ferry Tour players to high handicappers like myself. If you love golf, and want to stay healthy, make an appointment to go see Leighton and let him give you an assessment on how he can get you on the road to better health and Golf.

Florida Physio

Thank you so much for this review. This gives us our why!!

Justin Niermann 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went to the Florida Physio for back pain that impacted me daily. Dr I Leighton was able to identify the issue in my first session and gave me a set of exercises that eventually resolved the pain in less than 4 weeks. He also provided me further workouts to improve my golf swing and prevent the back pain from returning. I would trust the Florida Physio with any PT issue and golf performance needs.

Florida Physio

Thanks Justin!! Keep up the progress. The journey for scratch and pain free golf is a fun one to chase!

Florida Physio

Thanks Chris. Appreciate your kind words and work ethic each time you come in. You raise the bar and make not only us but others around you better.

Kim Stoddard 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: highly recommend Dr Don Wasoff and the entire team at FL Physio. The facility was recommended to me by a friend to improve my strength and balance after surgery. Although insurance covered the first set of sessions, I decided to continue on and self pay to continue to improve my overall strength and balance. Dr. Wasoff is probably one of the best PTs with whom I’ve worked. He works with your individual situation and individual needs. He also works holistically in looking at all aspects of health. He recommended a change in my diet to increase my protein intake, a change in my shoes to give me a more even gait, and very specific exercises to improve my strength and balance. He continuously measures my progress and then makes the needed changes in my program for continued overall improvement. I really appreciate the online app to assist in following through with the program at home. One of the best!

Florida Physio

Hi Kim,It's fantastic to hear how much you've benefited from working with Dr. Don Wasoff and the team here at Florida Physio! We're thrilled that our holistic approach to physical therapy has made such a positive impact on your strength and balance. It's impressive that you're committed to continuing your progress even beyond what insurance covered—that dedication really pays off.Keep up the great work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance.Best regards,The Team at Florida Physio

David Memel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Leighton off and on for several years. I initially saw him for an issue I was having with my hip. What I really appreciated about him in addition to his technical skill, was his integrity. We determined the issue was not something that could be addressed by PT and he referred me to the appropriate care. I subsequently have worked with Leighton on PT for my back and on golf fitness. Leighton is extremely skilled in all aspects of diagnosis, therapy and training. He is very effective in tailoring treatment and training routines to the needs of his patients / clients. On top of everything else, Leighton is a nice and compassionate human being.

Florida Physio

Dr Memel — your pursuit for lifelong wellness is admirable. I love your work ethic. Keep it up! Hit it hard. Make some birdies!

Andrew Pardun 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Florida Physio is the premiere physical therapy clinic in Tampa Bay for golfers looking to improve their performance on the course and in life.

Fantastic experience: Leighton and the team at Florida Physio are the best in the business! I have been going to them for about 8 months. I have seen improvement in my core strength, distance increase in my yardages, handicap lower and most importantly feeling much better as I rehabbed two injuries. Thanks for all you do!

Tom Andrews 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is really phenomenal. I had come off a series of golf lessons yet was not seeing the improvement I had hoped for. He helped me really understand the physical direction I needed to take with exercise and form. I still use the exercises to keep my body tuned for golf but it has also helped with other activities. I am ready for the speed work next! Tom Andrews

Florida Physio

Hey Tom,Awesome to hear from you! Leighton will be stoked to know he's helped you up your golf game and beyond. Keep up those exercises and you'll be more than ready for that speed work in no time.Swing by anytime if you need more tips or just want to chat!Cheers,The Florida Physio Team3700 Ulmerton Road Suite 204Clearwater, FL, US

Lynne Gerald 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I want to compliment Kristen Boylan from Fla Physio. I have been working with her for six weeks for my knees and back. My biggest complaint was not being able to play pickleball since November. Well…I’m back on the courts! Thanks to Kristin’s guidance, patience and excellent repertoire of exercises targeting my issues. She explained anatomy in layman’s terms so I could understand my physical problems and what to do while playing pickleball so I won’t injure myself. Thank you Kristen, for all your hard work and effort in getting me back in the game.

Florida Physio

Thank you Lynne me for the kind words. We will certainly pass along to KB! She’s a pro’s pro. Glad you are back on the court!

Fantastic experience: Best in the business here. If you want the best golf performance coaches this is where you want to go.

Florida Physio

Thanks Ralph!

Justin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is excellent. I have seen him for a couple different issues. He figures out what is wrong and helps me correct it. He knows what to do to push you and get you better but not over doing it. He specifically setup the training for me. I have felt better than I have in a long time after seeing him. Seen him again for another issue that’s my fault and he has put me back on track again. Easy to to talk to and a good man. If anyone reading this has pain, mobility issue or just needs to make yourself better he is the man you want.

Florida Physio

Thanks Justin! Individualized approaches are keys to fast and quick improvements.

shantell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Florida Physio is unique in that they spend the full hour one-on-one with their client, taking a holistic approach if more than one area is of concern. I see Leighton who is bright, caring, and always coming up with new ways to challenge my multi-issue mobility problem. He's curious and thinks outside the box, digging deeper into cause/effect via a textbook or web to help solve things. Leighton identified my problem(s) and continues to give me strength-training and balance exercises as well as stretches to fix it. FP has an App with videos downloaded for you, so it's easy to go through the exercises and flossing routines at home. This is not your average therapy mill. I'm so impressed with my progress in just under ten session that I want to show my appreciation through a review. I've been walking like a champ today...it's hard to stay seated!

Florida Physio

Thank you Shantell!! This is the most thoughtful review I've read over the years. Cheers to you. I am grateful for this...and your hard work!

Fantastic experience: After suffering with shoulder pain for months, a few sessions, along with a well documented exercise plan from Florida Physio, cured my pain in only a few weeks.

Joe Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Leighton because I was struggling with lower back pain and it was effecting my ability to play golf. This was an issue that had gotten worse over a ten year period. Prior to this, I’d been to a Chiropracter, done dry needling, and had also worked out with three other TPI trained fitness instructors. Leighton’s ability to combine his physical therapy background with strength conditioning is really what sets him apart. I was able to get stronger, gain a better understanding of my physical limitations, and feel better before and after rounds of golf. I couldn’t speak more highly of my experience. He takes his craft serious and loves his job, which makes working out fun.

Florida Physio

Hey Joe,It's fantastic to hear about your positive experience with Leighton! We're thrilled that his unique combination of physical therapy and strength conditioning helped you get stronger and enjoy your rounds of golf pain-free. It sounds like you’ve made some incredible progress. Leighton's dedication and passion for his work really shine through in stories like yours. Keep smashing those golf rounds!Best,Florida Physio

Taylor Harroun 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a rib injury that bothered me every time I swung a golf club for over a year. I went to my primary physician several times, got x-rays and she still couldn't diagnose it. Within 5 minutes of meeting with Leighton he had it diagnosed and less than 6 weeks later the rib pain was gone! I would highly recommend him to anyone I know whether they played golf or not but if you do play golf he will not only fix your body but he will fix your swing as well. I've been a patient for over a year now and in that time I've gone from injury/rehab to strength and power training using the exercises Leighton provides in his fitness app. Not only do I no longer have a rib injury I can now happily say that I can play golf pain free! Leighton is not only great at what he does but he's an excellent human being and someone I now consider a friend. Thanks Leighton and Florida Physio!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Leighton about a year ago through his online program. He was very thorough in his initial assessment with me and he put together an excellent golf performance program for me to increase strength and mobility. The workouts have been great and the app makes it very easy to know exactly how to perform the exercises and keep track of my performance throughout the program. I think what has been most impressive is how often Leighton has communicated to see how progress is being made and modifying the workouts accordingly. I would highly recommend Leighton and the team at Florida Physio to everyone, especially every golfer, that is looking to feel better and play better!

Florida Physio

Hey Blake,We’re thrilled to hear about your positive experience working with Leighton! It’s awesome that the golf performance program has made such a difference in your strength and mobility. We’re glad you find the app user-friendly and helpful in tracking your progress.Leighton truly cares about his clients' progress, and it’s great to hear that his consistent communication and ability to modify workouts have stood out to you. Your recommendation means a lot to our team at Florida Physio.Keep up the fantastic work and enjoy your improved game on the golf course!Best,The Florida Physio Team

Anastassia Belessioti 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My 14 years old son is a competitive golfer and he had a wonderful experience with Leighton. Starting with a TPI assessment and a detailed conversation about my son’s goals, Leighton created a plan of stretches and exercises that would help my boy achieve his goals. Leighton truly a great professional!

Florida Physio

Thank you for the wonderful review. Looking forward to seeing all of your son’s future success in both golf and life! What a polite well-mannered young man.

Cortland Schofield 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is by far the best in the business. In just over 2 months he helped me improve my mobility/flexibility by at least 70% and also helped me gain an average of 5mph of club head speed. I look forward to working with him more and constantly improving.

Evan Cline 3 years ago

Phil Ruzicka 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a golfer experiencing considerable pain in my shoulders and elbows, I’d visited doctors and therapists who’d suggested I’d need surgery for my shoulder. I had 10 physical therapy sessions with Leighton Peavler and both issues are completely non existent, my game has improved considerably - and most importantly I can now enjoy it.

Florida Physio

Thanks for the kind words Phil!

Ryan Hearn 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son is a competitive golfer, he has made amazing strides since seeing Leighton and Florida Physio. Leighton understands how to work with individuals at any age and skill set. Rogan is so excited to see him any chance he can and get some knowledge. I would recommend Leighton to people ready to make a change and excel.

Florida Physio

Thanks Ryan. Big future for Rogan. Glad to be a part of the team. Keep up the good work.

Geoff Burdge 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton brings unique capabilities to someone trying to perform at his or her optimum. Growing up as a son of a professional golfer, Leighton has honed a professional golf swing from an early age. His sub-scratch golf handicap and tournament performance is a clear testament to that. Starting with a baseline TPI assessment and a detailed discussion of one’s performance goals, Leighton formulates a plan of exercises and stretches to attain those goals. Combining his knowledge of body mechanics as a PhD physical therapist with his profound knowledge of the golf swing, he is able to assess a client’s performance limitations and work to overcome them. For example, for me he has enabled me to turn my head about 65 degrees right and left, which is a minimum angle required to maintain an eye on the ball while making a full back swing with no head movement. Before seeing Leighton, I could only turn my head about 45 degrees right and left. Since golf is a combination of instantaneous speed and power, Leighton is working with me on power moves from the ground up, so that I can increase my club-head speed. His program consists of exercises that can be performed at home or in a gym. Over the years I have visited about four different physical therapists in the St. Pete area; none is as thorough or well-versed in the physical mechanics of the golf swing as Leighton. Leighton is truly a gem!

Florida Physio

Geoff--Thanks for the wonderful review. We really try to bridge the gap between physical rehab and strength/conditioning while also marrying instruction in the puzzle as well!

Douglas Showers 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is very knowledgeable and able to work with anyone, no matter your age, strength, or ability to golf. He creates each program to work from individual to individual, depending on your needs, and let me tell you it works! I’ve only completed 6 weeks so far, and am looking forward to taking the program to the next level!!

Florida Physio

Thanks Doug!! Keep it up. Gonna be a big summer for you!!

James Poulter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience, Leighton is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable in explaining what I need work on to get to my goals.

Scott Schmit 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm a physical therapist myself, and I sought out Leighton's services after learning he was involved in golf and the TPI system. I was looking to get back into playing more, and wanted another trained PT to take a look at some concerns. I had a great experience with Leighton, and would recommend him to anyone seeking physical therapy services. Hope to continue to foster a relationship with you Leighton!

Florida Physio

Thank you Scott. Hope you are hitting them long and straight! We need to get out there!

Joanna Suhanovsky 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Leighton because of issues with my Piriformis. In the past, I had tried other avenues such as seeing a chiropractor and a massage therapist. These therapies helped, but the effects didn’t last. When I told Leighton about my issues he immediately started working on a personalized plan and within a few weeks I saw major improvements. He developed a plan that I could work on at home that was easy to do and fit into my schedule. He also has flexible scheduling for one on one sessions with him. When I started seeing him there were days when I could barely walk and now I’m able to run around with my kids again! His explanations are thorough and easy to understand. His knowledge and the tools he provides are invaluable. If I have a flare up, I now have the knowledge to remedy it myself, thanks to Leighton! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Florida Physio

Thanks! We can understand the importance of being able to play with your kids!

Jon Kind 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is great. We were struggling with recovery from an elbow dislocation and he got us back on track.

Florida Physio

Thanks for the review Jon!

Jenny Sutter 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Florida Physio really does things differently than most PT clinics. I like how they never double-book and all PT services are done by the Doctor of PT and not a technician or assistant. They raise the bar when it comes to quality. If you value your health care, want your appointments to start on time and be with the same PT each visit, I highly recommend Florida Physio

Florida Physio

Thanks Jenny! 1-on-1 care yields the best results!

Lee Carr II 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: As with most avid golfers, I'm always in search of ways to improve my game Recently, I finished Dr Leighton's golf swing speed training. He customized a plan for my strengths and weaknesses and in a few weeks my swing speed increased by just over 15 mph. Highly recommended!

Florida Physio

Thanks Lee! Hope your shooting some lower scores!

Kathryn Copeland-Greiwe 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is great! I was having dizziness when laying down in certain positions. I wasn’t even sure what kind of professional to seek help from. Leighton asked me a few questions about what I was experiencing and immediately knew what it was and how to fix it. Within a few sessions of some maneuvers I was feeling much better. He also went step by step with me on what he was doing so I could do the maneuvers at home if needed. Leighton is extremely knowledgeable and I’d highly recommend him.

Florida Physio

Thanks Kat! Dizziness with head turns can be scary. Glad we were able to help.

O Carr 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm so happy that my avid golfer husband recommended I see Dr Peavler for my hip/leg pain. Although he specializes in helping golfers perform at their peak, Dr Peavler is also an extraordinary physical therapist for pain relief and improving movement. After the initial consultation he prepares an individualized plan that also can be done on your own, thus limiting repetitive appointments and decreasing the time it takes to see results. He is always available for questions, returns calls and texts promptly and not only provides you with a written plan but also, if needed, includes videos of himself performing the various exercises so you can see and recall proper form. Making, scheduling and changing appointments is so easy through the Florida Physio website as well. He is a true professional, and is board certified. Highly recommend. Rest assured, you will be in good hands.

Florida Physio

Thanks for the kind words. We really strive to create a customized plan for our clients...with their care, appointments, and home program. It’s a team approach where client needs are met first!

Taylor Deming 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Leighton a couple months ago with various issues with my body from playing competitive golf my whole life as I continue to pursue playing professionally. I wasn’t sure if this route was going to work because I had seen many other doctors before without much success. Initially he assessed me on the TPI scale and quickly pinpointed the areas we needed to work on as far as mobility, stability, and power. I noticed a difference in the way I felt after just one week of working with him! We have a plan moving forward that I’m confident in and I’m excited to see the results pay off. Not only is Leighton a great PT with excellent vision of where your body needs to be to perform optimally on the golf course, but also he’s a good person. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their body and see the results on the course.

Florida Physio

Taylor--Thanks so much for the great review. We love to see our professional athletes perform pain free and at the highest level!

Barbara Poore 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had severe piriformis syndrome last fall, to the extent that any time I got up from sitting down I had such bad pain in my right buttock that I was almost in tears. Finally I sought help from Leighton. On the first appointment he evaluated me very thoroughly, assessing all my movements and identifying areas of imbalance and weakness (turns out I also had problems in my left upper arm). He was very gentle and forthright. I trusted him immediately. He sent me home with exercises to do three times a week. I did the exercises and gradually felt better. He advised me to go back to the gym, which really helped me turn the corner on my pain. I recommend Leighton with no reservations. Whatever problems you have he will help you solve.

Florida Physio

Thanks Barbara! We really want our clients to stay in the game and keep doing the things they love!

Lisa Pataky 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is a wonderful physical therapist. His knowledge and evaluation skills are of the highest level. All of his treatment sessions were personalized and took steps towards reaching my goals. He gives full one on one attention during all sessions. His manual therapy skills and exercises prescribed were extremely helpful in my feeling better. Highly recommend anyone needing physical therapy to see Leighton.

Florida Physio

Thanks Lisa! We really take pride in providing 1 on 1 personalized care.

Felicia Pavlica 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience! I have been to other therapists in the past and have never been so impressed! I feel the work truly brought the results I wanted to see so much faster than expected and I learned so much during the process. I loved the one on one care and felt they were committed to see I got the results I was looking for. Leighton was very honest and upfront from the first visit and in no way made me feel that I needed to do more than he really thought was necessary. Thank you for the excellent care and please know I would highly recommend you to others!

Florida Physio

Thanks so much Felicia! We pride ourself in being honest and transparent!

Nydia Lynn 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is the best!! I have worked with other physical therapist's in the past and they either didn't have the knowledge or were to aggressive. Leighton knows what he is doing and extremely kind and truly cares about your needs. He is always on time and understanding of my time. I am not easy to work with and he gets that about me and is understanding and encouraging. He takes his time to get to know you and your needs -if there were 10 stars i would give him 12

Florida Physio

Thanks Nydia for the kind words!

John Nicholson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My experience working with Leighton Peavler was terrific! I came to him at least 20 pounds overweight, with almost no upper body muscle tone and two painful shoulders. Over the course of about ten weeks (2 sessions weekly) he helped me move the weight around, restore tone and get rid of the pain in my shoulders so that I can once again swim freestyle pain-free. My clothes fit better and I feel much better overall. Leighton listens! He works WITH you to get results. He is NOT "one size fits all." I highly recommend him. (And he is a great guy.)

Florida Physio

Thanks John! We really try to use an approach that is individualized to our clients goals and needs. Glad to hear your back to doing the things you love.

Mike Martino 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is not only professional, but extremely good at what he does. We were able to avoid shoulder surgery with specifically targeted excersizes that have left me pain free and feeling better than ever.

Florida Physio

Thanks Mike! We really strive to manage our client's pain conservatively with education, exercise, and manual therapy.

Nina Marie 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is the best physical therapist I know. Leighton has a compassion for people and is immpecable at finding the solution for any physical issue. Leighton is patient and knowledgeable, accommodating and connects well with clients. Any time I had a physical issue he was able to relieve pain and empower me by giving me exercises to do at home. Leighton is inspiring and lifts people up by educating them and helping them believe they can heal, rather than tell them they are damaged. I am a yoga teacher and have learned so much by working along side him. He is respectful and full of wisdom. I highly recommend Leighton to anyone!

Florida Physio

Thanks Nina! So many people have been told that they have a problem and are damaged. Often times, this information causes more harm than good. The body is resilient and can adapt to tissue damage...especially when there is a little encouragement, education, and of course exercise!

Derek Reams 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton was fantastic and quickly diagnosing my particular issue, which was a low back issue, developing a medical plan and then implementing that plan. I followed his recommended medical plan and was back playing golf pain free within just a few weeks. He is extremely knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.

Florida Physio

Thank you Derek! We want to keep our golfers out on the course and out of the clinic!

jan foltz 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton was very thorough in answering my questions in regard to my husband's therapy. He ensured that he understood what my husband was experiencing before conducting any exercises. I would highly recommend Leighton as he is very knowledge as well as personable, which is just as important.

Florida Physio

Thanks Jan. Glad he is back to work on the job and at home!

Peentz Dubble 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton is 100% present as he works with you to assess your needs and is willing to think "outside the box" in order to improve your functionality, strength and mobility. He listens to your feedback, observes your movement, and encourages YOU to participate in your own healing.

Florida Physio

Thanks Peentz! I’m always working on my mindfulness and being present for what’s in front of me. It helps provide high quality individualized care!

Kelly-Ann Jenkins 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before seeing Leighton, I had significant limitations with my ankle mobility. In just two sessions, he was able to get my ankles into normal range of motion. This made a huge difference in my fitness training, particularly in my squat. I highly recommend Leighton Peavler to any athlete looking to improve their performance or aid their recovery.

Florida Physio

Thanks Kelly! From weekend warrior to professional athletes. We try to provide a first class experience!

Linda Lucas 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Leighton was able to identify my specific problem (injured muscle/soft tissue) and give me very effective exercises to remedy the issue. AFter several months of pain, I began to heal almost immediately after following his advice. He is professional, very knowledgeable, encouraging and a fantastic listener. I have been to PT in the past and he is the best!

Florida Physio

Thank you Linda! We love keeping active adults out of pain and ACTIVE!

Paula Tierney FST 6 years ago
