When chronic pain has controlled your life for months or years, you need more than traditional physical therapy—you need a true chronic pain specialist. Manual Physical Therapy & Concierge Services offers Sarasota’s most qualified chronic pain expertise through Joann Pung, who has dedicated 35 years to developing innovative solutions for patients who haven’t found relief elsewhere.
Why Joann Pung is Sarasota’s Premier Chronic Pain Specialist
Chronic pain specialization requires a fundamentally different approach than traditional physical therapy. While conventional PT focuses on strengthening and managing pain, Joann’s Body Recalibration Method addresses the root cause: correcting compensations that result from living in chronic pain.
Her 100% manual therapy approach means no machines, no modalities—just expert hands-on treatment that “listens” to your body and corrects dysfunctional movement patterns. This specialization has attracted patients from across Florida and even nationwide telehealth clients seeking her unique expertise.
Cinde P. shares her experience: “This is a very specific and amazing physical therapy approach to healing chronic pain. I am about halfway through my plan and I have noticed lasting results. Highly suggest you call and speak to these remarkable and highly trained people.”
The Body Recalibration Method: Innovation in Chronic Pain Treatment
Traditional Physical Therapy in Sarasota often fails chronic pain patients because it treats where it hurts rather than addressing the entire kinetic chain. Joann’s Body Recalibration Method takes a holistic approach, using pain as a guide to correct dysfunctional movement patterns throughout the body.
This approach achieves normal symmetry, which leads to normal function and lasting pain relief. Instead of managing chronic pain, we help patients become pain-free—something traditional PT often considers impossible for chronic conditions.
Why 100% Manual Therapy Succeeds Where Other Approaches Fail
Our specialized chronic pain treatment stands apart from traditional physical therapy in several key ways:
Individual Attention: One-hour, one-on-one sessions in private rooms vs. 15-20 patients in gym-like settings
Expert Focus: Maximum 6 patients per day vs. traditional PT’s 15-20 patients daily
Root Cause Treatment: Correcting compensations vs. strengthening tight muscles
Holistic Approach: Achieving symmetry vs. local treatment of pain areas
Paul C. describes the results: “Joann, Maira and the entire team addressed my specific issues with fantastic results. Their approach to getting clients into total physical symmetry was very successful for me and they provided the knowledge to continue along a successful pathway to better physical health and performance.”
Serving Chronic Pain Patients Across Florida and Beyond
Our reputation as Sarasota’s best chronic pain specialist extends far beyond the city limits. Patients regularly travel from Orlando, Punta Gorda, and other distant locations for Joann’s specialized care. We even provide telehealth coaching to chronic pain sufferers in Denver, Seattle, California, Ohio, and Virginia.
This reach reflects our unique position: we succeed where traditional physical therapy fails, offering hope to patients who’ve been told surgery is their only option or that they need to “learn to live with the pain.”
Cash-Based Practice Enables Comprehensive Care
Our cash-based model allows us to take a truly holistic approach without insurance restrictions. While traditional PT is limited to treating only the area of pain, we can address the entire kinetic chain to correct root causes and achieve lasting results.
