I love South Miami Physical Therapy and Pilates. Michele Gust is a very knowledgeable and kind therapist and has a special gift for knowing exactly what part of your body she has to treat and/or massage. She has hands of gold!
I first went to her because I needed knee replacement. She was honest and although I did physical therapy to see if I could avoid having surgery, in the end she encouraged me to do it.
I am post surgery now and continue to go to Michelle for treatment whenever I need it.
I highly recommend Michelle and her staff.
