You're Not Alone If You're Struggling With:
You're active, driven, and ready to push your limits—but pain, recurring injuries, or nagging discomfort keep interrupting your progress. Sound familiar?
Your Injury Keeps Coming Back
You've tried rest, ice, and generic exercises, but the pain returns the moment you get back to training. You need a real solution that addresses the root cause.
You're Losing Valuable Training Time
Every week sidelined is a setback. Whether it's a race, a competition, or just staying consistent, you can't afford to keep waiting for things to "get better on their own.
Generic PT Isn't Cutting It
Big-box clinics treat you like a number. You need a physical therapist who understands your sport, your goals, and what it takes to get you back stronger than before.
At Core Values Physical Therapy, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. We believe in you — and in creating a personalized plan that fits your body, your goals, and your life.
Conveniently located in Winter Garden just minutes from Windermere, our clinic is led by award-winning Dr. Rebecca Smith and a team of experienced Doctors of Physical Therapy who specialize in helping runners, athletes, and active adults get lasting results.
✓ All Doctors of Physical Therapy — no assistants, just expert one-on-one care
✓ Rapid pain relief — most patients see significant improvement within two visits
✓ Personalized treatment plans tailored to your injury, activity level, and goals
"I had been trying to get back to running for the past 2 years. I tried different treatment options for my knee pain including physical therapy at another clinic, PRP injections, and soundwave therapy. Core Values was able to analyze my running form (which needed improvement) and properly assess the origin of my knee pain. They developed a plan to strengthen and stretch some areas in my body, and I am now back running. If you want results and are willing to put in the work, I highly recommend Core Values physical therapy."

Frequently Asked Questions About Winter Garden Knee Physical Therapy
Get answers about our elite performance physical therapy approach for active individuals.
Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist in Windermere?
No! Florida is a direct access state, which means you don't need a referral from a doctor to start physical therapy. You can call us directly at (407) 476-6613 to schedule your free phone consultation and get started right away.
How long does physical therapy take?
Every person's situation is unique, so recovery time varies. However, most patients see significant pain reduction within just two visits. For full recovery, we typically recommend 2-3 sessions per week for 4-6 weeks. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will create a timeline based on your specific condition and goals.
Does insurance cover physical therapy at Core Values?
Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physical therapy. We recommend checking with your provider to determine coverage. Our team is also happy to answer questions about payment options during your free phone consultation.
What should I bring to my first physical therapy appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily. Bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, MRI results, or doctor's notes. Also, keep track of any pain medication you've taken before your appointment so your therapist can adjust treatment intensity accordingly.
What makes Core Values different from other physical therapy clinics near Windermere?
Unlike big-box PT chains, Core Values offers true one-on-one care with Doctors of Physical Therapy (no assistants). We guarantee punctuality — your 10am appointment means you're seen at 10am. We're also available via phone, text, or email beyond business hours because we understand that pain doesn't follow a schedule. Most importantly, we specialize in active individuals and create personalized plans that go beyond generic exercises.
