“Michael is incredible to work with. He is extremely dedicated and hard working and that’s why I chose to work with him. He rehabbed my wrist and elbow for the last year and a half and I am very happy with the results. Each day we had a plan and a goal that we achieved. His care was way better than any other PT I’ve worked with. I saw results very quickly and got better each week. This allowed me to compete at my highest level. He is very professional and will fix anything that is hurting. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing an injury”

“I moved to Florida from Baltimore in May and was still in pain from last November. I had seen other Physical Therapists in Maryland and they all basically did the same thing. Cracked and popped and gave me “homework”. They didn’t listen to what I was actually saying. I did some research and found Pursuit PT. I am always a skeptic and figured all of the reviews couldn’t be true but I was still experiencing pain and needed help. I was introduced to Trey Martin, who would turn out to be my Dr. He did something that no one else would do, listen to what was actually going on and then put a plan in place that would slowly but surely lessen my pain until I didn’t feel it anymore. Of course the work was hard and there were weeks where I felt I was going backwards, but that was just my body trying to fight the natural instinct of just being in pain. Trey was there every step of the way and made it seem like my success was his success. This is something that is so valued because you feel as though you are not just another patient. Your feelings (pain and otherwise) are taken into account and that matters. I now (after 8 weeks of rugged PT and doing the work at home) wake up with no pain in my leg, which hasn’t happened since last November. If you are looking for a place that wants you to feel better because they want to help and actually listen to you, then you need to go to Pursuit Physical Therapy. If you are looking for cookie cutter and to be treated like, “just another patient”, then don’t go here lol. Trey and everyone there are awesome and I wouldn’t be pain free without them!!!“

“I decided to see Ron at Pursuit Physical Therapy due to symptoms I had been experiencing from a neck injury I incurred six years previously.  The symptoms continued to get worse over that six-year span to the point where it was impossible to enjoy a normal life.   After countless hours and appointments spent with physicians all over the state each with their own opinions about what was going on with me, and all of them failing to help or even be able to create a rational results-based plan, I had virtually given up, and accepted that fact that I would be dealing with these symptoms for the rest of my life.

My wife spent a lot of time on the internet trying to find a results based physical therapist in the central Florida area.  At the time I was at the point where I felt like this was pointless exercise and never thought I’d be able to live a normal life again.  When she came across Ron’s website and showed me some of his videos I actually perked up and something said to me “this guy is going to help me”.  His videos explained exactly what pain and symptoms I was experiencing, the cause of those symptoms, and what programs he put in place for his patients to address and fix the root causes of the symptoms.  Most of the physicians I had seen previously wanted to put me on medications.  New meds, old meds, and some even prescribed me experimental medications to try and get rid of my debilitating migraines etc.  When I spoke to them about my situation, I could tell none of them really seemed to be listening but rather just wanted to put me on something and see their next patient.

That was how Ron was so different.  During my initial evaluation Ron made me feel like I was the only person in the world that he was focused on, and really dug into the root causes of my symptoms.  He showed a side of himself that I’ve only grown to know more, he truly cares about getting his patients pain free.  He asked in depth questions, brought out medical books that showed exactly what was going on, and he explained to me that it was going to be a long road, but he knew he could reduce my pain.  He told me how he was going to go about this, and for the first time, I knew I was seeing someone who had a plan that made sense.  This was truly one of the happiest moments in my life.   

Within eight sessions I felt like a completely different person and was even able to go on a vacation with my wife and her friends and enjoy my time.  After being with Ron for around a year now, I would say that I am back to 90-95% of myself, and that almost all my symptoms have dissipated through stretching, strengthening, getting back to exercising on my own, and the dry needling has helped exponentially as well for my headaches and migraines.  Obviously, most of Ron’s patients won’t need to see him as long as I have, but before I went to Ron, I would experience debilitating head flairs and migraines lasting for days as a result from  trying to perform simple tasks such as speaking, opening any type of door, picking up any item with any sort of weight to it, watching or working on any type of screen, driving, standing from a seated position, walking, walking up and downstairs, and I also had a terrible case of vertigo that I had been dealing with for 3 years.  Now my vertigo is gone, I’m driving on my own, I don’t even think about picking up items with any heft or weight to them, I don’t think about opening and closing doors, and I’m even back to running between 20-25 miles a week, and exercising at home.  If anyone in my life, whether they be friends, family, or even casual acquaintances needed any type of physical therapy whether it be minor or major I wouldn’t let them go anywhere besides Pursuit Physical Therapy.   

I honestly owe it to Ron for giving me my life back, and he happens on top of everything to be one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met in my entire life.  I consider him a true friend.“

“Are you an athlete worried about picking the right physical therapist or costs of PT? Dr. Trey Martin PT is the only correct choice for a time/cost efficient recovery. In March 2021, I sustained an AC joint separation playing rugby requiring full shoulder reconstruction surgery. My endeavors to become a pro rugby player seemed to be stripped away in an instant. Fearing I may never play rugby again, I searched for the best option for physical therapy. Through mutual work and Trey’s expertise and constant encouragement, he had my shoulder with sharp constant pains recover back to being pain free and back on the rugby field in three months and benching 225 and deadlifting 405 four months post-surgery. My aspirations of becoming a professional rugby player are back on track entirely because of the work Trey put into healing and supporting me. After a month of PT, I was already 2 months ahead of schedule. For any athletes worrying their injury has ended their career, please consult with Dr. Trey Martin and get back on the road to pro!“

“I found Michael at a rough time post injury. He was extremely patient, kind, and understanding during our initial consultation. From there, he made it clear how he was going to help me, and how he was going to measure my progress from week to week. He listened to my concerns, no matter how small. I truly can’t thank Michael enough for his persistence and personalized approach. I believe that your health is the most important thing you have, so there is no better investment to make than in your health. Michael and the entire Pursuit team were instrumental in getting me back to normal and helping me live pain free. Truly a great business and a great doctor!“

“Do You Believe in Miracles?? Over the course of my life I have suffered from a “bad back”. Most of the time I would do something that would tighten up my back and then it would put me out of commission. I would go to a doctor and they would give me the regular regimen of muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatories. After about a week of that I would be back in action.

In November 2020 I hurt my back while trying to move my daughter’s dresser away from the wall. This time the regular regimen didn’t help. I was in pain every day. I went to a neurosurgeon and he confirmed through an MRI that I had a herniated disk at L5 which was pressing against my sciatica. This was causing pain in my back, buttock and back of leg. Also “Pins and needles” feeling in my legs and feet. After a couple of months the symptoms became less severe. Although I could no longer go to the gym I was able to get through the days albeit with some stiffness and pain.  In August 2021 while helping my son practice before baseball tryouts I hurt my back again, this time I felt worse than before. I decided to try and find a physical therapist as a last resort before surgery. Luckily I found Pursuit and specifically Dr. Trey Martin. From the evaluation I realized that this place was different than anywhere else, as I was the only patient there with Trey the entire time. During that same eval session Dr. Martin let me know that we would also be doing treatment that day and that he was sure that he could have me pain free in 2 weeks. I wanted so badly to believe him, but based on how I felt I thought it wasn’t possible.

I have never been so happy to be wrong! I was pain free after two treatments which was one week! I am happy to report that I am not only pain free, but my back feels better than it has felt in at least a decade. I am back in the gym and also able to ride my bike and go for runs. I can get out of bed in the morning with no pain or stiffness. I thought all of this was no longer a possibility for me.  If you are suffering from back issues I would highly recommend you do yourself a favor and try out Dr. Trey Martin at Pursuit.”
