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
We'll never tell you to just stop running. Your sport is part of your rehab from day one, not something you have to earn back after.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Serving athletes and active adults in Orlando and Winter Garden.
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.
Jessica Richardson Pockey
Dr Megan and Dr Rebecca are AMAZING! After having major surgery they have helped me regain mobility and be able to fully enjoy my life! Thank you!
Sandra Masison
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!

The best physical therapy shop in Orlando
James Abdullaev
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.
AoG
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!
jonathan bodnar
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
Bobby Hines
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!
Lyndsey Hinson
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!
Megan Hoagland
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.
Robin Blatzheim
These guys are great! They have really helped with my Tennis pain and my shoulder arm and back. Very happy I made the decision to come here.
Blake McCracken
This place has done an amazing job with helping me get myself back to 100% and I would recommend to anyone in the area.
malachi meyers
Best place to go to if you have training/run specific injuries. All the doctors are athletes and have your best interest in mind when it comes to getting you back to your desired sport fast and injury free. Thanks so much Dr. Austin and team!
Alexis Fajardo
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!
Yanin Hansen
Core values staff are professional and knowledgeable! Worked with me to strengthen areas that were weak and taught me correct form and exercises to use on my own. Top notch physical therapists!!
Susan Serstad
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!
Frank DeLuccia
I cannot share enough good things about Core Values. I have had the pleasure of working with Rebecca, Austin, and Megan. Truly top notch and worth every penny.
Brittany Pfund
Dr Meg was amazing with great bedside manner. Very knowledgeable as well.
kyle messenger
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!
Jennifer Walston
Truly amazing what they can do with their dry needling technique
Joseph Freitas
Working with Core Values has been a massive blessing in my recovery process. It’s been nothing short of a positive experience all around 💪🏽
Russell Miller
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 🤍
Madisson Cirio
Highly recommend Core Value Physical Therapy the team is top notch. Exceptional care, articulate rehab programs and excellent results.
Gillian Frothingham
I had a great experience at Core Values and highly recommend them to anyone looking for physical therapy. The 1-on-1 approach was incredibly beneficial and made a huge difference in my recovery. It was a pleasure working with Dr. Meg; she is super knowledgeable and did a great job addressing the root cause of my shoulder pain. Thanks to her help, I’m feeling better than I have in years!
Alex Webber
Love Care Values. They took me from not being able to walk let alone squat to be back on the weightlifting platform in 6 months post ankle surgery.
Caitlin Clark
The Core Values team has been so helpful in getting my daughter back to pain free running. A carefully tailored treatment plan is helping her achieve her goals. So grateful for their expertise!
Ang J
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. Everything was explained well, and their encouragement kept me focused and progressing toward my goals. They were also warm and welcoming, which made a big difference. Highly recommend!
Mary
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.
Melissa Schreiber
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!
Terri Meunier
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!
Erica Weitz
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.
Kelsey Elmer
Owen is very personable and has helped me tremendously with my head and neck pain!
Andreina Artz
Owen at winter garden was super helpful in a short amount of sessions to help drastically reduce shin splint pain for me prior to leaving for the military. Highly recommend.
Connor Chuppe
Owen is such an amazing person and his knowledge helped me improve so much in multiple aspects of my game and physique. I would really recommend working with him after everything he has done to help me. The location was very practical for me to go to almost everyday and it was just an amazing facility to work in.
Lucca Martins
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.
Mabon Hatchette
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.
Haley Eberly
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 highly recommend them if you’re looking to improve your running form and overall performance!
kyle waronker
These guys are great! I highly recommend coming here.
Blake McCracken
My daughter works with Dr Danny and it was been so helpful to her recovery. She’s 10 and a level 7 competitive gymnast and I have been so impressed how he communicates and listens to her and has built a program that has greatly improved her injury and overall strength. I highly recommend any one of any age visit Core Values and Dr Danny for their PT needs.
Carissa Galloway
Core Values PT is dedicated to assisting in your full recovery. They provide all the tools and support you'll need to regain/improve your physical performance.
Mark Sperduto
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
M Gath
Very friendly and accommodating!
Ryan Monette
I recently fractured the head of my fibula which required surgery. Fortunately I found Core Values and Dr. Danny. 8 weeks post surgery back in gym and able to fully function. My surgeon told me I am way ahead of schedule. Thank you for all of your assistance.
Craig Dorne
I have had plantar fasciitis and calf pain for the past year with minimal relief. It has made running nearly impossible. I’ve been working with Dr Danny for the past couple months and it has been a game changer! He was able to determine what the true issue was and has provided me with a plan that has really helped my pain and gotten me back to running. 10/10 recommend!!
Jessica Adametz
I’ve been going to Core Values since May 2025. I started working with Dr. Danny last month and I’ve seen great results already with some calf/ankle issues. He’s very knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend Core Values, especially if you’re a runner!
Lyndsey Hinson
I have had back pain for two years and I decided to take the time to find someone who would dedicate their time to fixing my issues. This place is better than normal PT and is dedicated to making sure you get better with one on one efforts, if you’re still deciding if it’s worth, take my word and do it!
Angelo the artiste
Core Values Physical Therapy had allowed me to continue to run pain free. They were thorough on the treatment of my shin, Achilles, and back pain.

When in severe pain prior to hip surgery, Dr Dan can & does provide relief. His toolbox is FULL of ways to help heal your body before & after or with & without surgery. Physical Therapy has a new face: Dr Dan!

Dr. Danny was nothing short of amazing. He really was attentive to what I was dealing with and helped me to get better, as well as have me prepared for my powerlifting Comp back in December. Grateful to Core Values. They are excellent
jason maysonet
I began working with Core Values Physical Therapy a couple months ago to help me overcome a chronic back injury. The level ofvl personal attention is wonderful. I am getting treatment, education, and training tailored to my specific needs. I am not to pain-free yet, but I can see a path to get for the first time in years.
Bill Dean
I’ve been working with Dr. Danny for a few weeks now, and the results have been incredible so far. As I prepare for HYROX, he’s taken the time to understand my specific pain points and tailor my treatment accordingly. This is my first experience with physical therapy, and it’s been excellent.
Luis Vélez
I am grateful for Core Values and their staff for being with me every literal step of the way in my ankle recovery. Consistent care with a healthy and compassionate dose of challenge has been just what I need to reach my mobility and athletic goals.

Dr Danny has been very helpful in alleviating my leg and hip pain. I highly recommend Core Values Physical Therapy.
stephanie bowman
Dr Dan has been a life saver! Excellent bedside manner and knows his stuff. He helped my daughter get through a track and basketball season so she could have surgery in the summer. I went into his office struggling to walk a year later in back to playing sports, working on my cars. Highly recommend!
Michael Marrow
My experience with Core Values has been extremely helpful and beneficial for my workout goals. Dr.Danny listens very well and puts a lot of thought into the therapies that he performs and recommends for my injuries and imbalances as they present themselves. I'm seeing progress in my running journey as well as developing better workout habits.

Kwesi Redhead
Dr CeCe was amazing. Very thorough, knowledgeable, explained things very well and was approachable and easy to get along with. Would 100 percent recommend
Jake Strauss
Highly recommend Dr Danny and Dr Sierra! They are incredibly genuine and took the time to explain the 'why' behind my neck, back and shoulder pain. They focused on long-term health, teaching me how to use bodyweight and light weights to get relief and maintain it. The owner and staff are fantastic. Great overall experience!
Alex C
The one-on-one attention really sets them apart- the therapist took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored every session to my goals. I never felt rushed, and each visit built thoughtfully on the last. Their personalized approach made a noticeable difference in my recovery and my return to running. I always felt supported and heard. Highly recommend for anyone looking for focused, individualized care.
Janice K
I went in with knee pain. I was nervous that the dry needling would hurt. When I met with Dr. Danny, he was very patient and listened to my story. He did a wonderful evaluation and placed the needles exactly where they needed to be. The treatment wasnt as bad as I thought. I got up feeling much better! Looking forward to 100% recovery! I can get back to excerising!
Lanell Tate
Danny is the best! Great PT and care
Marcos Medeiros
Daniel Komforti was sent from the heavens. Miracle workers are real and he’s at core values. There’s a girl named Cece there who’s a hard worker, everyone is highly intelligent and attentive. You ever go somewhere and know you’re going to be better? No? Take ya behind to core value and get some core values lol
Jamichael Jones
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.
Kodi Terry
I had been having trouble with my ankle that was easily sprained and they did a test that the issue isn't actually my ankle, but my spine being compressed. I saw an immediate change and have not had issues since. Thank you!
Allison Thompson
Dr. Daniel has really taken the time and thought to tailor and modify every exercise he gives me to make sure it’s targeting the right thing and isn’t too difficult for me. I feel like I’m really getting stronger and healthier.
Katherine O. Firestone
I’ve been working with CeCe at Core and have really enjoyed her professionalism and feel that her approach to my back and leg issues have put me on a path to recovery! She is definitely an A+ provider.
Gerhard Schubert
I was experiencing some shoulder pain over an extended period of time. I met with Dr. Daniel and he raised my awareness of things I was doing mechanically that contributed to the pain. He also gave me tools that have helped mitigate my shoulder pain significantly! I had a very positive experience with the Core Values team and would recommend them to anyone who’s been dealing with a long term nagging issue!!!

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.
