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, Haley and Aisia are awesome! From my first visit with Carmine I knew I’d come to the right place. It’s obvious that he and his team genuinely love their work. I would recommend Carmine to everyone I know without question. They truly earn 5 stars.

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.

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 J. Chioccariello is bar none the best PT, period! I have seen him work with my husband’s complete shoulder replacement as well as with my meniscus repair. My mother now need PT and I would not consider taking her anywhere except to Carmine. Beyond his amazing knowledge and experience, he is thoughtful and considerate. I love the compassion that he shows everyone, no matter how old or how extensive the rehabilitation. His staff is also awesome, totally a reflection of Carmine’s management and mission. You are not going to get a “cookie-cutter” experience here. Carmine is 100% hands on which means you get his extensive knowledge and a much faster recovery time.

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.

Carmine, Haley, and Asia are the BEST! They have created a schedule of exercises to improve my core strength and support my back. Through my personalized program, I am building my strength and flexibility, thus relieving my back pain. I appreciate the individual attention and the friendly encouragement I am given. They have exceptional knowledge of the body, how to relieve pain, and what to do to help strengthen and encourage muscular healing, with a side of always being positive and helpful. I would recommend this place to my family and friends any day! The office is easy to get to and has plenty of parking space. The office environment is spotless, and the sports memorabilia on the walls add a nice personal touch to the decor. Did I mention that laughter is the best medicine? Well, you’ll find some of that there too!
