JOHN SPEIGHTS, LPT


In my years as a physical therapist, I've learned the importance of personalized care. When you come to Optimum Therapy, I'll take the time needed to find out your concerns and fully explain your condition to you. And then, I'll teach you what you can do to improve the quality of life and prevent future injury.

Educational excellence = Optimum Therapy
"The education I received at Florida A&M University provided me with a strong foundation of high-quality care upon which I continue to build. An important part of my care also includes communicating effectively with my patients in order to properly teach and encourage them throughout the healing process."
