Get Started

“I was back to running fast and just a couple months later…I was setting new personal-best times in races!

Donna

Yianni B.

“I can’t thank Dr. Fabrick enough for all he’s done. I’m a runner, and was injured in a recent race, leaving me worried how I would get back into training or competing. Over the next few months, I regularly met with Dr. Fabrick where he analyzed the source of my injury, gave me a program of recovery exercises, and helped me start cross-training to strengthen my legs for the future. Towards the end of my time with Dr. Fabrick, I was back to running regularly. Just a couple months later, I was setting new personal-best times in races thanks to all his advice. I would strongly recommend visiting Dr. Fabrick to help address any injury, or to prevent injury by having help incorporate proper stretching & exercises into your training plans. Throughout all our sessions he was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. He took time to listen to my concerns and put together a plan to not only get me back into training, but to advance further than I could have ever achieved before getting his help. Thank you Dr Michael & Team!””

“Dr. Miller solved the root cause of my pain and got me back to running fast!”

Donna

Daniel C.

D1 Collegiate Sprinter

“Dr. Ron Miller was very thorough in his evaluation to get to the root problem of the issue–he asked lots of questions and looked at the whole picture. He spent a lot of time with us and we never felt rushed. He solved the root cause of my pain and got me back to running fast!  He truly cares about his patients and personally followed-up several times to see how things were progressing.“

“Within three sessions I was back to walking and getting up with NO pain and able to run again.”

Donna

Donna

“After my first session I felt completely different and was actually walking without limping. They gave me exercises to do at home to help and practices for work to help my hip and spine stay aligned. Within three sessions I was back to walking and getting up with NO pain and able to run again. I came back for some follow-up and any time I had questions; and they answered them. I now know more about my body and what I need to do as a runner to keep myself from injury. Thank you Pursuit! for giving me the tools to be able to run again!!!.”“

Introducing…The Pursuit Treatment Approach

We Will Show You Exactly How We Are Going To Get You Pain Free And Back To Running Again!

 

PHASE 1: SOLVE THE ROOT CAUSE AND DECREASE PAIN

First, we solve the root cause of your pain so you clearly understand why you are experiencing your pain and what are the underlying risk factors to why it is not going away.  This phase focuses on decreasing inflammation and you should see a rapid decrease in pain and symptoms.

PHASE 2:  INCREASE MOBILITY AND GET PAIN FREE

Next, you should directly see an increase in mobility and flexibility occur…along with a continued decrease in pain.  The goal is here to get pain free and fully resolve symtpoms.  Sometimes, depending on the case, this could be in a few sessions or even weeks.  This phase focuses on optimizing healing potential and tissue repair.  We will also start light strengthening and loading in this pahse

 

PHASE 3:  PROGRESSIVE STRENGTHENING AND ENDURANCE

Next, you should know exactly what to expect with results here and there will be a clear outline on your path to recovery.  Pain and symptoms should be fully resolved here and now we start to regain normal movement patterns.  Strength will increase in this phase without causing pain to return.  Eventually we will progress to advanced strengthening in preparation to return to running again

PHASE 4: RETURN TO RUN PROGRAM

Now it’s time to run!  Based on your level of experience, we will customize a return to run program for you.  In this phase, you need to pass the return to run criteria, follow your customized return to run guidelines, and prevent the injury returning by too much overload. The 10% rule applies here.  Your return to run program to guide you back to specifically acheiving your running goals.

 

PHASE 5:  INJURY PREVENTION AND LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE

Finally at the end…you will be back running pain free!  This phase will focus on optimizing health, improving performance, and preventing injuries from occurring!

“The care I received here has been world-class and beyond expectations!”

Donna

Kendall A.

Top Collegiate Soccer Recruit

“My middle back was really bothering me, I had aching pains that wouldn’t go away and it was very uncomfortable. My dad used Ron when he had plantar fasciitis and he helped him tremendously. So, he was the first physical therapist we called. I had been to several chiropractors and massage therapists and neither were able to help relieve my pain. When I saw Ron, he knew I needed to do and gave me exercises to do to strengthen and stretch my back. This helped to completely get rid of my pain and not just feel temporary results. Within two to three weeks I started feeling relief and this was a huge blessing, but about two months after I had no pain. I am a competitive water skier and was having trouble skiing due to my back pain and now I am able to train without any pain. I would absolutely recommend Pursuit! Ron helped me tremendously and was always checking in to see how I was doing and offering up help. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!.”

Cindy A.

Pickleball Player

“I realize this is long, but I personally appreciate detailed reviews when making a decision about medical care. A few months ago I started having pain in my right shoulder when I lifted my arm a certain way – – my shoulder would “catch” and I couldn’t complete the movement without pain or changing my motion. I do various classes at YMCA 4-5 days a week and play Pickleball for several hours twice a week, and this condition was my impacting my ability do either of things (and I felt these activities were just making it worse), and I felt it doing simple things about the house like lifting my hairdryer!

After an online search of PT offices in Orlando, reading multiple reviews and the bios of the PTs at each office, I selected Pursuit Physical Therapy. While all of the PTs sounded amazing with extensive and varied backgrounds, I selected Dr. Michael Fabrick. Michael did a thorough verbal and physical evaluation to identify the issue was in my rotator cuff (impingement of a tendon). In that first appointment he took me through a series of exercises to increase strength and mobility in a targeted area and he performed a variety of manipulation practices with my arm and shoulder. He prescribed some fairly simple exercises for me to do daily at home, and provided a band and video as needed. We also discussed modifications I should take at the gym, and what activities to pause for a bit. That evening I had an email from Michael summarizing what we discussed, and a few days later I received a text from him checking on my progress. With each weekly appointment there was evaluation, discussion of goals, repetition of prescribed exercises, introduction of new exercises, and further manipulation practices. Each was followed by a personalized email, and a text later checking on progress. After the 4th appointment I had full range of motion of back and did not experience any pain when I raised my arm. I wasn’t sure I needed a 5th appointment, but was glad I went one additional time for confirmation of progress, further manipulation, and to discuss how to avoid re-injury. I’m back to all activities at the gym and on the pickleball court, but continue to use what I learned to avoid re-injury.

Dr. Fabrick was excellent, and I liked the whole atmosphere of the office. My care and treatment were personalized, I felt I was listened to and understood, and that Michael sincerely cared about my treatment. I even had fun! I went to a corporate PT office about 6 years ago for the same issue and felt like a name on a clipboard, and it was very non-motivating (hence I did not experience success; I just completely stopped all activity for 6 months). I recommend Michael Fabrick and the team at Pursuit Physical Therapy without hesitation. (One final note … PT does not fully work unless YOU put in the work! You don’t get a prescription from a medical doctor and then not take the medicine, right? Do as you are prescribed at Pursuit Physical Therapy – it heals!)”

“His expert treatment enabled me to compete at my best…(even when my surgeon told me I could not) and I swam my personal best times!I highly recommend Pursuit!”

Julie K.

Professional Swimmer

“I’m a professional competitive swimmer who went through a second shoulder surgery and had only six months to recover and compete at a global meet. After receiving sub-par treatment at another facility, I was referred to Ron, who immediately assessed the source of my pain while providing me a personalized post-surgical rehabilitation program. Within just four weeks I had a massive improvement in joint mobility, compared to the previous practice which left me stiff and weak. I never left his office in pain, and his fantastic home programs allowed me to continue pain-free outside of our office visits. His expert treatment enabled me to compete at my best within those six months (even when my surgeon told me I could not) and I swam my personal best times! I highly recommend Ron to anyone experiencing pain or needing physical therapy after surgery.”

“I was pain free in 5 visits and back playing tennis!”

Winter Park Tennis Player

“I went to see Ron Miller for chronic pain in my hip and lower back. I was unable to play tennis, work out with weights and could not sleep through the night. I attempted several treatment options including massage, chiropractic care and orthopaedic consultation with no relief from the pain. I received a consultation with Ron and he set up a treatment plan. I was pain free within 5 visits. I am grateful to have found the solution to my pain!”

“I was able to return to golf pain-free and training my professional athletes again!”

Donna

Marcus P.

Golfer and Professional Golf Coach

“Ron has been instrumental in my recovery from a crippling disc injury to my lower back (L4,L5,SI). I first visited Ron after a Chiropractor initiated my back injury and couldn’t find a remedy. After shuffling through many profiles I chose Ron because of his stellar reviews from former clients with similar injuries. What stood out most about Ron was his attention to detail as he EDUCATED me on how/what specific movements and exercises will help the injury. The process we need to take and exactly how long it will take. He took his time and really designed a program catered to my level of fitness and limitations. Being a Fit Pro that work with Professional athletes this was extremely important. With this new knowledge I am able to return to work and golf pain free!”

“I cannot put into words how appreciative I am of Ron Miller and Pursuit Physical Therapy—he has sincerely changed my life.”

Donna

Deanna L.

Ballet Dancer

“After a bad back injury backstage in 2013, I thought I would never be the same person again. I was constantly in pain, constantly re-pinching nerves, constantly taking sick days from work to lay in bed with back spasms. I’d been to dozens of physical therapists before I found Pursuit, all of whom told me to “rest, ice and stretch.” Those physical therapists gave me exercises and told me that I wasn’t flexible enough and my hamstrings were tight even though I spent the first hour of my day every day stretching. I had lost hope in physical therapy and resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be “broken” for the rest of my life. Then, I found Ron through a mutual friend. During the consultation, he recognized almost instantly that my sciatica was a result of neural tension and nerve scarring which came to be when I herniated a disc in my lumbar. I’d never been told anything close to that. From the initial consultation, his one-on-one approach to patient care meant that I was seeing just one physical therapist for one hour who was entirely focused on my goals. When I first walked into Pursuit’s lobby, I was at a 5/10 pain level and it was a good day. We discussed my goals for recovery and I told Ron that I wanted to “be less in pain.” Now, three months later, I am working out every day, I am back to ballet, and I haven’t felt an ounce of back pain in over a month. I cannot put into words how appreciative I am of Ron Miller and Pursuit Physical Therapy—he has sincerely changed my life.”
