Services Offered
Our weight management services integrate seamlessly with physical therapy principles to ensure safe, effective results. We begin with comprehensive movement assessments and body composition analysis to identify any physical limitations that might affect your weight loss journey. Our aquatic therapy program utilizes our heated pool for low-impact exercise that's perfect for clients with joint issues or mobility concerns. We provide specialized exercise prescriptions that promote weight loss while strengthening muscles and improving flexibility. Our registered dietitians work closely with physical therapists to create nutrition plans that support healing and recovery while promoting fat loss. We also offer group fitness classes designed specifically for people with physical limitations or those new to exercise. Pain management strategies are integrated throughout our programs because we understand that chronic pain can interfere with weight loss efforts. Additionally, we provide ergonomic assessments and workplace wellness consultations to address lifestyle factors that contribute to weight gain.

What to Expect
Your program begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes movement screening, posture analysis, and fitness assessment alongside traditional weight loss metrics. Our physical therapists will identify any musculoskeletal issues that need addressing before or during your weight loss journey. You'll receive an exercise prescription that's specifically designed for your physical capabilities and limitations.
Weekly sessions combine supervised exercise with progress monitoring and plan adjustments. We start conservatively and gradually increase intensity as your fitness improves and weight decreases. Most clients see improvements in pain levels and mobility within 2-3 weeks, with significant weight loss typically occurring over 3-6 months. Our goal is to help you develop sustainable habits that support both weight management and long-term physical health.
Why Choose CORA Physical Therapy The Beaches
Our medical background in physical therapy gives us unique insights into how weight affects movement, joint health, and overall function. Unlike standard gyms or diet centers, we understand the biomechanics of exercise and can modify activities for any physical limitation or injury history. Our therapists are trained to spot potential problems before they become injuries, keeping you safe throughout your weight loss journey.
The beach location provides a motivating environment with easy access to outdoor activities like walking, swimming, and cycling. Our clients appreciate being able to incorporate natural movement and beach activities into their weight loss plans. We've helped hundreds of people not just lose weight, but regain their ability to enjoy activities they thought they'd lost forever. Our success rate is particularly high because we address the physical barriers that often derail other weight loss attempts.
Insurance & Pricing
Many insurance plans cover our physical therapy services, especially if you have a qualifying diagnosis related to pain or mobility issues. Weight management services combined with physical therapy may be covered under certain conditions. We accept Medicare and most major insurance providers. For services not covered by insurance, we offer affordable self-pay rates and package deals. Initial evaluations range from $150-250, with follow-up sessions typically $75-125.
First-Time Patient Tips
Bring comfortable workout clothes and athletic shoes to all appointments. If you have any previous injury history or medical conditions, bring relevant medical records or imaging results. Don't be concerned about your current fitness level - we work with people of all abilities and will start at an appropriate level for you. Be honest about any pain or physical limitations you're experiencing.
Consistency is key to success in our program. Plan to attend sessions as scheduled and follow through with prescribed home exercises. Take advantage of our beach location by incorporating walks or water activities into your routine. Remember that this is a gradual process focused on long-term health rather than rapid weight loss. Be patient with yourself and trust the process - sustainable changes take time but provide lasting results.
