MPT • PRC • ATC • CPT • AIA Fellow
Karen Hoyt
Karen became a physical therapist and athletic trainer out of a deep curiosity in understanding how the body functions and how movement influences health and performance.
Early in her career, she recognized that treating symptoms alone was not enough and sought a more comprehensive, root-cause approach to care.
This pursuit led her to advanced training focused on posture, breathing, and movement pattern integration. Today, she is passionate about helping clients achieve lasting relief, improved performance, and greater confidence in their bodies.

Gina Aicardi
Gina found her path to physical therapy through dance, choosing healthcare after stepping away from a dance major while still wanting to help dancers and active individuals.
Her passion for movement led her to the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI), which transformed how she understands pain and performance.
Today, she combines her dance background with PRI principles to help people move better, feel stronger, and return to what they love.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book a consultation first?
No, you don’t need a separate consultation. Our initial evaluation is a comprehensive 90-minute session that includes full-body testing, a breathing assessment, and immediate treatment. This may involve manual therapy, exercises, and more. We also teach you initial corrective exercises to take home.
Do you accept insurance?
No, we do not accept insurance. However, we are happy to provide a superbill if you would like to submit for reimbursement with your insurance provider.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a $50 late cancellation fee. To cancel or reschedule your appointment, please contact our office at 727-210-5330.
How long is a typical session?
A typical session lasts 1 hour. If needed, we can customize session times to be longer, which is common for patients visiting from out of town. We can also arrange multiple sessions in a row for out-of-town patients who are staying for a set amount of time.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Please wear or bring workout or loose-fitting clothing. Additionally, bring the athletic shoes and any orthotics you currently use. If you have an oral appliance (such as a mouth guard) and/or glasses you regularly use, please bring them with you as well.
