Why Choose Us

What Sets Core Values Apart From Every Other PT Clinic

At Core Values, every session is one-on-one with your physical therapist: 55 minutes, focused entirely on you. We dig into what's actually driving your pain and build a plan to fix it at the source, not manage it until it comes back.

One-on-One, Every Session

You see your physical therapist for the full 55 minutes, every session. No aides, no tech, no split time.

Precision Over Guesswork

We use clinical reasoning and movement assessment to identify what's actually going wrong, not just treat where it hurts.

No Symptom Chasing Here

We don't chase symptoms. We find the underlying cause, address it directly, and build a plan to prevent recurrence.

Sport Stays in Your Plan

After 10 years of pain from SI Dysfunction, Rebecca quickly knew how I could finally address flare-ups and minimize their impact on daily life. Huge relief! Convenient scheduling, very responsive, and supportive and caring.

Highly recommend them for their approach and treatment. As a runner with a QL tear this was not an easy or quick fix but the mix of treatments applied, including dry needling, helped tremendously to get me back to running as well as daily tasks.

I had a great experience with Dr Austin. I came in with multiple issues and I think he did a great job balancing between my back, knee and elbow. Each session felt tailored and it was amazing getting to see my progress in our last session. He also helped me not to fear being consistent in my weight training and I am forever grateful! I would definitely recommend Dr Austin and the entire core values team as they always make you feel welcomed!

I came in a little skeptical because I had been to physical therapy for the same condition previously and nothing changed at a different place. However, here I was matched with Austin, who is extremely knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing. I am so glad I started at Core, which opened up new ways and in innovative ways to Rehab and strengthen my knee areas for running. I highly recommend them.

I came in barely functional, and Megan and the team completely turned things around for me. I’m back to being active again, and I had such good results that I recommended to both of my kids, who also had success here. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares. You have to try the dry needling! Highly recommend!

I’m a physical therapist and traveled to this clinic for a continuing education course. Having experience in many different PT settings, I can say this place is extremely well equipped for active rehab. Not to mention the owner I was able to speak with is very clearly dedicated to clinical excellence. Would recommend this location for anyone in the Orlando area!! 5/5

I’ve had a great experience here! I’ve struggled on and off with runner’s knee for years. I’ve been working with Dr. Austin for several months and my knee has improved significantly. I’m now able to run pain free and even race again for the first time since 2018. 10/10 recommend!

I've been to several physical therapists and can confidently say Core Values PT has been my best and most impactful place so far! Dr. Megan and Dr. Austin have helped me regain confidence in my legs and I already feel like a stronger runner after just a couple of months working with them. I recommend them to all of my running friends, or just people who need help bouncing back and recovering from injuries!

Amazing team. Rebecca, Megan, & Austen amazing. Feel so much better after only a few weeks of work. Love the individualized care & being heard as a person. This is the second time I turned to Core Values PT for care. Each time everyone has treated me like I was their most valued patient. I would not choose to go anywhere else.

Highly recommend! Different than so many PT’s and foot doctors I tried before. I came in for severe tendinitis in my left ankle that I had been suffering with for almost 2 years without being able to improve, and they healed me! The doctor is with you the entire time for every session. And they send you full videos of every single exercise to do at home. They are also so easy to communicate with for any question. Very grateful to them!

We're from NJ and needed to see a PT for my son's case of Little League's elbow while out in Florida. We chose Core Values b/c of many positive reviews. I'm so glad we did! Rebecca and staff are awesome and they really know how to challenge my son to make sure he's on the path to recovery. Definitely give them a call!

I've seen Dr. Rebecca, Dr. Megan, and Dr Sierra and all are fabulous. I came to Core Values in extreme pain and a basically numb right hand. They balanced pain management for races I had on the books with helping me improve. I'm now pain free in my shoulder and can feel my hand again! Definitely recommend!

I am a hard client and they haven’t treated me as such. It’s such a family atmosphere. Nyssa who works the front desk is such a sweetie, very attentive too. Megan is my PT and she is just so informative and does everything in her will to make sure I’ve felt better. Rebecca the head lady 💪🏼 has also taken the time to work with me on what does and doesn’t work. You’re able to be open and feel comfortable communicating with them. Would recommend 🤍

Great experience with this small, locally owned PT company. They performed a thorough assessment, clearly identified areas to address, and created a personalized, effective treatment plan.

I highly recommend Megan and Rebecca for physical therapy. As an aerialist and triathlete, I have had several issues with my hamstrings, lower back, forearms, and feet and the dry needling services I have received and exercises I complete at home have really helped me to continue with my fitness hobbies. Please do not hesitate and book your appointment at Core Values Physical Therapy to continue with your daily training.

6 mos post acdf and was so stiff and sore. Tried out patient hospital based PT twice and felt worse-minimal exam, too many patients etc. Massage therapist recommended Core Values. Mario is amazing as is the practice! Full exam and detailed home instructions each visit. Single patient, full hour visits and they are trained in many different therapies and very knowledgeable. Mario has me feeling great again!

Core Values Physical Therapy is absolutely the best for runners or anyone looking to help work through and injury, recover or even prevent injuries. I went to get a full body analysis today and was given excellent feedback, along with exercises I can do to stay healthy. She also did soft tissue work and cupping on my quads, as well as a running form analysis. I am a running coach myself and I send all my athletes to Core Values! Check them out!

I love core values!! I have been working with them for almost 2 years. I started with a hip flexor problem and recovered and have stayed on another year working with Megan to help improve my running. Megan is great! I love her personality and her focus on what the issue is and how to fix it. The whole staff is super friendly, and I love the time I get to spend here.

My trainer, Owen, made rehab with him very helpful and easy. Every week I saw progression in my rehab process and he was very technical and thoughtful with what we were doing every day along with home work exercises he had assigned me. Great process and if I ever needed rehabilitation again I would go back.

Coming to Core Values has been a great experience. I was looking for physical therapy that felt like personal training, and that's exactly what I'm getting. Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Daniel have helped me rebuild my strength and confidence in my body after a surgery. I'm getting support for healing the physical problem, my overall fitness goals, and the mental side of recovery. It's making a huge difference for me.

Danny and Rebecca are the best! I recently had a running analysis done with Danny, and he was able to pinpoint my weaknesses and areas that need improvement. They also provided me with specific exercises to help build strength and flexibility in the spots that are less mobile.

I have been running for 10 years and struggled with why I’m not improving as much as I should. YouTube videos explained concept but not the how. I’ve been going to core values for 3 sessions now and already see improvements. The recordings and seeing how my form needed work was helpful. Then I was given specific exercises and running task to improve. The winter garden location has everything needed

Core Values lives up to their name. They are all about treating holistically and taking the time to really listen and work with you on your issues. They provide 1 hour personalized care sessions where it is just you. They worked with me on stretches, exercises, dry needling, resistance, you name it - they are incredibly knowledgeable. If you need PT at a new, higher level, I can't recommend Core Values enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about cash-based PT, what to expect, or whether Core Values is the right fit? Start here.

Do I need a referral?

No. Florida is a direct access state, which means you can begin physical therapy without a physician referral. You can call us directly, start your evaluation, and begin care without needing to see a doctor first. If you already have a referral from a physician, we are happy to coordinate with your provider as part of your care plan.

Do you take insurance?

We are a cash-based practice and do not bill insurance directly. This model allows us to spend 55 uninterrupted minutes with you every session: no aides, no rushed visits, and no insurance company deciding how long your care should last. We accept cash, HSA, and FSA. We also provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Do I have to stop running?

No, and we would never tell you to stop. Your sport stays in the plan at Core Values, not something you pause while we work on your injury and add back at the end. We structure your treatment around your training schedule, your upcoming events, and your performance goals. Getting back to full activity is the objective from the start, not something you earn later.

How long is each session?

Every session at Core Values is 55 minutes, one-on-one with your physical therapist. There are no aides, no shared time, and no periods of waiting while your PT attends to another patient. This means you get a full, focused evaluation and hands-on treatment every visit: not a brief check-in followed by a solo exercise routine while your therapist is tied up elsewhere.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes, telehealth is available for patients who are unable to come in for a session. It is a good option for follow-up visits, programming check-ins, and situations where travel is not possible. Our in-person sessions are always the preferred option for hands-on work and evaluation, but we are flexible and want to make sure care stays continuous no matter the circumstance.

Still have questions?

Reach out and we'll connect you with the right provider.
