I have been a very happy patient over several years at the Back in Motion offices in Ft. Myers office and Cape Coral ---and write this review about my most recent experience with Anthony Simone, PT, DPT, CSCS, TPI, at Cape Coral who I started seeing November 2022 continuing through April 2023 when I returned north. The prior year I was a patient at Back in Motion for golf elbow pain and had great results. By way of background, a herniated disc was diagnosed in early summer 2022, and two physicians advised me up north that 80% of herniated discs improve with PT. I had two MRIs. The PT up north was not successful and I made arrangements to see Dr. Simone in November 2022 when I returned to our condo in Ft. Myers. First, Dr. Simone is a good listener, kind, professional and knows what he is doing! I had been in PT up north for five months with no improvement. Dr Simone suggested I see a neurologist. I ultimately saw a neurosurgeon who viewed two MRIs and said the herniated disc would not heal on its own. The neurosurgeon and performed a hemia laminectomy for partial diskectomy (L4/5) early February -- and I resumed PT within 4 weeks post surgery with Dr. Simone. Second, I literally love coming to PT, as Anna, the receptionist, is always happy to greet me and Dr. Simone gives me his complete focus when I am in treatment and he is also responsive to emails and phone calls. I am feeling so much better than when I started PT in November and other than giving credit to the neurosurgeon, I credit Dr. Simone with his steadfast treatments, and adjustments, as needed, of exercise and strengthening which enabled me to improve. Third, Dr. Simone is great at explaining why he is making certain adjustments which were necessary to give me the particular care and attention required post surgery. Treatment with Dr. Simone is the best treatment I have ever received from a PT, and I highly recommend him. I did not mind at all traveling from Ft. Myers to Cape Coral for his treatment. MH 4-14-23

Fantastic results at this establishment. Meagan and Peter gave sound advice and had great knowledge of what exercises would get me the best results. After 5 visits they thought I didn't need to come back instead of week after week of the same thing. My opinion of Physical Therapy improved after my last need a couple of years ago. It's sky high now! Also a shout-out to Anna at the desk. She takes professionalism and curtious to a high im not used to lately. Highest recommendations!

I have been to several physical therapy facilities in the last few years. Dr Anthony at Back in Motion is the first therapist who treated the cause of my problems instead of just the symptoms. He showed me how to work around my back issues to lessen the pain. I would highly recommend him as an outstanding therapist.

I'm reviewing my experience with Hannah Graham as a pelvic floor therapy provider. For over two years, I was told by multiple medical professionals that the life-interrupting pain and bowel symptoms I was experiencing was IBS. I had been on a roller coaster of tests, treatments, diets, supplements, and medications that should have relieved some of my suffering but always failed. It’s not a stretch to say I was exhausted, miserable, and skeptical when I made my first pelvic floor therapy appointment. Then I met with Dr. Hannah: she was thoughtful, thorough, and truly listened without jumping to conclusions. She immediately earned my trust and convinced me that there was a path to relieving some, if not all, of my troubling symptoms. In a matter of weeks, I was seeing real progress. Turns out I don’t have IBS but a combination of pelvic floor dysfunction and severe abdominal muscle tension. I am essentially symptom free now and have my life back, something I thought was not ever going to be possible. I have been treated by a few occupational and physical therapists in my past, and I’m not sure I would have gotten to this result without Hannah’s specific expertise, empathy, patience, and sense of humor. I honestly can’t thank her enough. If you are reading this and have anything pelvic floor related and are trying to decide, don’t hesitate, make an appointment. You’ll be treated right and get relief.

Anthony Simone is an excellent trainer. He bonds with the patient, he explains all exercises and he is very personable. It is also very serious about his profession and takes weekend courses to update himself. Since I have been exercising with him my ability to walk has increased at least 20 fold. My balance has also been improved these are the 2 things most important to me. In addition I leave the exercises tired but afterwords feeling good. You want to keep this guy.

I recommend Back in Motion for physical therapy. Dr. Megan in the Cape Coral facility for an ankle injury. I am now back to normal after her outstanding care to guide me to healing. One thing I recently realized is that since all the therapists are Doctors of Physical Therapy which is beneficial for a number of reasons: well educated in how to help you heal not just your specific injury but your whole body and if you have an injury or pain that you want to be treated the doctors can evaluate you and apply to you insurance for coverage. The last seems like a real benefit to me - not having to go to an MD first. ( I have complete confidence if you need to see an MD they would refer you.) Five Stars ⭐️ from me!

Dr Simone played a pivotal part in me getting back to 100%. I suffered an injury in a car accident and never felt quite right in my back and shoulders, across my whole upper back really. I was at a loss when this affected my ability to do the things I love like golf and play with my kids the way i like to. I was referred by a friend to Anthony who said he was amazing. 5 years post accident, and I’ve never felt better! I’m able to golf pain free now and am back to what I was before the accident! Highly recommend!!!

The dedicated work of Dr. Anthony Simone has been instrumental in my recovery from my back injury. I cannot thank him enough for the expertise, compassion, and commitment he has shown in helping me heal and regain my strength. He went above and beyond by creating a personalized treatment plan for me. Dr. Simone provided excellent medical care and support that aided my recovery. Having a dedicated doctor who encourages and enables healing can make all the difference during recovery.

I had back surgery in 2010 and 2017. I am an avid walker. However, I noticed that my back was hurting when I did prolong standing. Usually when my gait is off is when I start hurting. So I made an appointment with my Neurosurgeon who recommended MRI and X-ray which was done. Upon seeing me, he states that he would now recommend P/T and gave me choices of establishments to use. I choose Back In Motion as I had previous experience and the quality of work is excellent. Dr. Anthony had me doing exercises I did not know I could do, and because of his kindness, helpfulness and understanding, I'm back to walking my four to six miles daily with no issues! If at anytime I begin to feel the slightest of issues, I will call and schedule my appointments as needed with Back In Motion! Thanks to Dr. Anthony and his staff.

So many years after first working with Dr. Gray, he is still the absolute best. I was able to reach out and be quickly diagnosed. He steered me on the right path for recovery. Dr. Gray's background in sports has made him the go-to expert of his field for any athlete out there needed to get back on track.

I’ve had a very good experience with Back in Motion. Dr. Anthony is a true professional and dedicated to his patients recovery process. I full recommend their expertise in healing.

Absolutely fantastic experience with this clinic. The entire staff and owners are lovely. Communication was quick and easy, practitioners were gentle and caring, and I'm starting to get my range of motion back quicker than I had expected. I can't recommend Back In Motion highly enough for all your PT needs. Thanks again!!!

I am totally blown away by Back in Motion! This is hand's on, full hour of PT, stretching, strengthening with a doctor. Dr. Christine Plaza took such wonderful care of me. She is an excellent listener and was able to get to the root of my back pain issue. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and funny. Since I've 'graduated' from PT, I'm happy to report that I am feeling great and will continue to practice what I learned from Dr. Christine. Courtney Ryan is also extremely helpful and it's always nice to walk in and see her smiling face.

Dr. Anthony Simone has been great to work with over the past several months. After working with my daughter's PT practice over the summer and fall I was nervous about finding a suitable practice here in Cape Coral. I had a bad experience last year locally so there was reason for concern. I had hip surgery in October so PT was a major part of my recovery plan. My experience with Anthony was outstanding. I would not hesitate to head back if the need arises. Thanks Anthony

In my search for a caring competent physical therapy expert I found Dr. Devyn Kangas at Back in Motion!! What a difference compared to my previous therapy experiences. Thorough .. Listening .. Explaining .. Personalizing .. Followup! She is helping me get back my strength and I am seeing the pain relief I had hoped for. The entire staff, from its owners to the on-site receptionists- first class!!

This place will never survive with the owner such as Heather. She is THE RUDEST person I have had the misfortune to talk to in ages. I was given absolutely no indication that they do not take our insurance (Blue Cross) and when I arrived I was apologized to as “the person” who does the insurance was not there (likely due to the hurricane) Then today I am verbally accosted by Heather as she was making it sound like I blew off attempts to discuss insurance concerns such as I was having my hair done and couldn’t talk or I was driving and couldn’t talk. She basically put the entire thing on me when it was their responsibility to make sure I understood the insurance conditions before any hands were out on me which did not happen. I have never been approached or accused of something like skating out of a payment in my life but insurance was not discussed with me. It was myself who brought up the matter during my first session and the therapist was surprised that I didn’t know my insurance was not accepted. This Heather (who claims to be the owner) had no decency at all… all she did is threaten me to collections. I am astounded by her rudeness and lack of decency. Never will I ever set foot in this place again. I hope she loses business from this as I am being as honest as the day is long. This is no way to do good business. Yes….I was driving and couldn’t take the call and I was busy as I have breast cancer and have appts stacked as high as the ceiling getting ready for surgery soon and this Heather hasn’t got one good bone in her body.

Physical therapy is not always easy.  Trust me, I am on my fourth journey in two years with various physical therapists. Dr. Megan Burlage from Back in Motion has helped me immensely and for that, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great physical therapist. From my first treatment she has worked effortlessly to find a solution for my pain. She is punctual and curious. She starts each session with questions to investigate how our previous treatment or exercise are working for me.  She has always been accommodating for anything that I am unable to do. Dr. Megan Burlage works with a great team and I have personally had positive experiences with other doctors at the center like Dr. Gray. I am very thankful for the treatment I have received from Back in Motion, Cape Coral.

Recently injured my back after doing "too much, too soon," and went and saw Dr. Anthony Simone for the first time. I could of sworn I did something really serious to my thoracic back, however he assured me it was just related to the tissues and it would heal. Within 5 appointments, I not only was pain free, but I was stronger than I was before the injury!

Therapy so far 8 times. Great results getting be back in motion. Neuropathy gone. Doctor Megan did wonders. Has hands of miracles. I will continue for the next 20 session. Look out ladies I’ll be back on the dance floor!

Dr. Megan Burlage has been amazing. Ever since day one she has been very thorough and welcoming. I went from feeling pain in my achilles and my knee to having little to no pain. By session 3 I was already feeling better. Dr. Megan has given me great at home exercises and stretching to help me manage and maintain. Thank you for helping me get back in motion!

I am a Cape Coral snowbird and was having pain in my foot. I had a posterior tibi al tendinitis that was bothering me from staying active and cooking, which is what I love to do. I took painkillers and injection but wanted to get to the root cause as to why my tendon was injured. After about 6 visits my feet are now pain-free and I am having no problems at all. If you’re in need of physical therapy in Cape Coral or Fort Myers I would highly recommend Back In Motion.

WOW!! I can’t believe I found the perfect physical therapy office. Believe me I have been to several places in the past and 2 here in the Cape and none of them did anything for me. No results and I left with disappointment and still in pain. But Back in Motion and Dr. Devyn Kangas have been a blessing for me!! Dr Devyn has impressed me so much with her knowledge and understanding and professionalism. She has a great personality and understands my description of the pain that I was experiencing and has the knowledge to correct it. She has a great future ahead of her !!!!! If you need a physical therapist GO TO BACK IN MOTION AND ASK FOR DR. DEVYN KANGAS IN CAPE CORAL. I promise , you won’t regret it!!! John B.

I give Dr. Devyn Kangas 5 stars, with 5 Stars being the best possible. Dr Kangas is an expert level practitioner. She has exceptional skills of observation that detect what muscles or joints are not working properly and treats accordingly. It took me a while to find Back In Motion. Over one year earlier I was in a popular and highly rated Physical Therapy business and their treatments were ineffectual. Treatment time was for the most part restricted to 30 minutes or less. And, while I thought my PTD there was good, but my faith was misguided. He was treating symptoms and never addressed the cure. I was there over a year and finally quit them as I was not progressing. Even though the referral specified to work to restore my posture, they never did that. Dr. Kangas set goals and immediately began working to treat my pain but also to work from the bottom up to restore and strengthen my posture. My pain levels are way down, my flexibility and stamina and core strength way up. Dr. Gray’s methodology works. It took longer for me to change my insurance than it did to begin seeing results. I can’t thank Dr. Kangas and Back in Motion enough for the expert care I received.

My gynecologist recommended Back in Motion for Physical Therapy on my pelvis. I wanted the first appointment available, and that led me to the Cape Coral Office, even though I live in Ft. Myers. What a stroke of luck! Going to see Dr. Devyn Kangas, two to three times a weeks for this past month has improved my condition tremendously. Dr. Devyn is always on-time, a great listener, empathetic, professional, very caring, and fun!!! I would not hesitate to give this office my highest recommendation.
