B Physical Therapy
by Charlotte Skipper
Steven Balogh and Michael Kaplan know a thing or two about getting back on your feet after an injury – both literally and figuratively.
Steven, the founder of B Physical Therapy (with offices in Lake Mary and Oviedo), and Michael, a doctor of physical therapy at the Lake Mary location, both suffered serious injuries while playing sports in high school. While working hard to repair themselves physically, the positive relationships they had with their physical therapists are what drew each of them to pursue the same career.
“It wasn’t necessarily what [my physical therapist] did treatment-wise; it was how he would talk to me,” says Steven. “He would always say, ‘No man, you’ll get back, and you’re going to be able to do it.’ That set the stage for what I want to translate to our community now – that you’re never on the journey alone.”
At B Physical Therapy, Steven’s team puts a priority on maximizing personal attention so that pain relief and recovery can happen as quickly as possible. Through techniques such as soft tissue manipulation, dry needling, and exercises, the top-notch physical therapists can help patients improve mobility and prevent potential injuries.
Although recovery work is mostly physical, Steven says, taking care of the mind is just as important. That’s why he and his team believe in building strong, supportive relationships with patients. And as an out-of-network physical therapy provider, B Physical Therapy works directly for you, not your insurance company.
“We like to peel the layers back of what’s causing a patient’s pain and try to break down everything that could be going on both physically and mentally,” says Michael. “From there, we can create a solid plan moving forward and then walk them through each step of the healing process.”
Whether you’re experiencing an acute injury, chronic pain, or post-surgical recovery, the B Physical Therapy team can get you closer to a pain-free life.
“There is a light at the end of the tunnel,” says Steven. “Sometimes just having someone to be on your team and get you to the finish line is what you need, and that’s exactly what we’re here to do.”
