Meet Carmine!

Carmine has an impressive career in sports rehabilitation spanning over 30 years of hands-on experience, extensive training, and education.

Since founding Sports Injury and Physical Therapy in 1994, Carmine and his team have worked with more than 20,000 patients including some of Tampa Bay’s premiere athletes helping them back to an active, healthy and productive lifestyle.

“At the center, the patient and therapist become a committed partnership dedicated to healing. “I’m here hands-on every day, encouraging my patients and therapists as they move down the road to recovery. Seeing the dedication, comradery, and the patient’s enthusiastic progress towards wellness is the best part of my job.”- Carmine Chioccariello

OUR MISSION

“Provide dedicated, quality care and positive reinforcement for all patients.”

AN IMPORTANT PART OF THERAPY

Before beginning the therapy program, patients get an easy-to-understand explanation of the evaluation and therapy process and how their program helps with injury or pain.

Each patient’s program is based on three key elements: our evaluation; the doctor’s/therapist’s recommendations; and the patient’s needs/goals. As the patient progresses, his day-to-day treatment protocol is continually adjusted, as is the at-home therapy program.

Pain Relieving Modalities

The center uses a variety of the latest pain relief techniques such as manual mobilization, dry needling, electrical stimulation, ultra sound, traction and iontophoresis.

Exercise Machines

The center incorporates equipment including treadmills, upper and lower body bicycles, free weights, strength training machines, devices for balance and protective training, and offers blow flow restriction strength training

“Using the best tools is essential, but it's the interpersonal component, positive reinforcement and constant encouragement, is equally important. We want our patients to enjoy their rehabilitation experience and get well at the same time. Patients are like our extended family. Many even become friends and keep in touch.”- Carmine Chioccariello

Testimonials

Carmine and his staff are awesome. They genuinely care about their patients and it shows. I have been seeing him for PT after my knee surgery. He pushes me just enough to reach my goals but not over do things. They are also very flexible with scheduling which helps tremendously when you are self employed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know.

I came here after a car accident which left me with multiple injuries from head to toe and felt hopeless and scared in my recovery but carmine really helped me believe that I can get better and with going consistently I now do. Def would recommend carmine for your physical therapy needs!

Love Carmines’ professionalism! He takes his time to talk with you and explain the nature of your injury and his game plan for recovery. I saw immediate improvement on Day 1. I’m looking forward to continuing my treatment plan for a complete recovery. The staff is super nice also and very accommodating. I highly recommend their services for your physical therapy! You want be disappointed!

I had surgery for a torn ACL in May of this year and was given high recommendations to see Carmine for physical therapy. I couldn’t be happier that I followed those recommendations. Since the beginning of my PT sessions, Carmine and his team have tailored my rehab around how my knee was recovering, encouraging me to listen to how my body was responding to exercises and not pushing harder than what my knee was willing to handle. That philosophy has led to great progress 3 months post-surgery. In addition to the confidence I have in Carmine’s practice, the culture he has built at his office is second to none. It is an incredibly friendly environment - Carmine and his team truly care about the folks they are helping recover from injury. Perhaps you shouldn’t enjoy PT as much as I have, but Carmine and his team make sessions something to look forward to and I have been grateful for that. I would highly recommend Carmine to anyone looking for a PT - you won’t be disappointed.

This is my second round with Carmine, albeit 20+ years apart. Carmine and his staff are the best. They treat you like family and get the job done. Very clear and concise explanations and demonstrations. They monitor you and your progress and easily pick up on things to help you or when something has suddenly caused a little discomfort. They adapt your rehab to you specific needs. Can’t say enough great things about them! Hope I never need them again, but comforting to know if I do, I’ll be in the best of care!

Carmine is a wizard! The real deal with years of experience. I came in with a laminectomy.,a back surgery and waited a bit longer than I should have. He quickly knew my issue and proposed a treatment plan, facilitated by him and his very able associates.The atmosphere is calm and friendly and help is always available. Carmine is affable and deeply cares for his patients. I was very fortunate to have found him. I feel a hundred times better in a relatively short time. Run to him,( but take it easy), 🙂 He’s the best!
