What Nocatee-Area Athletes Are Saying

Proven results from runners and active adults near Nocatee who wanted real answers, not more rest.

I went from not being able to walk to preparing for an ultramarathon after only 4 sessions. Dr. Brooke is amazing and the dry needling really helps.

Cole Counts - Off The Block PT
If I could give 10 stars I absolutely would! I was ready to give up something I loved until I started seeing Brooke and am now getting ready to sign up for a race - something I never thought I would get to do again! I was an avid runner until 2022 when I developed terrible shin splints. They were unbearable and I eventually just stopped running altogether when nothing helped. I would occasionally try to run to see if time resolved the shin splints but was limping within the first mile so time was not on my side. Fast forward to Fall of 2024, I met Brooke and started PT once a week. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable but is kind and supportive in the best way possible. The one on one care is exactly what I needed to not only gain the strength but confidence. Everything is catered to what I need with email follow ups to support me even after the appointments. I am now running a few miles at a time pain free!! 10/10 recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before booking your first visit near Nocatee.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist in Florida?

No. Florida is a direct access state, which means you can schedule your free discovery call and evaluation without a physician referral. If your plan requires a referral for potential out-of-network reimbursement, we can help walk you through that after your first session.

Is First Coast Running Medicine only for runners, or do you work with other athletes too?

We work with all active adults and athletes not only runners. Lifters, pickleball players, field and court athletes, and anyone dealing with an orthopedic injury that is getting in the way of training are all welcome. The name reflects our specialty in running mechanics, but our care extends well beyond runners.

How far is the clinic from Nocatee?

We're located at 471 Stokes Landing Rd in St. Augustine, a quick, easy drive from Nocatee. Most patients near Nocatee find it very manageable to fit sessions into their week, and we work with you to build a schedule around your training, not the other way around.

Do I have to stop my workouts while I'm going through PT?

Not typically. The goal is to keep you active and progressing while you recover. We adjust training load and intensity where needed, but we believe smart movement is part of the rehabilitation process for most injuries. You won't be told to sit still and wait it out.

Why is this a cash-based practice?

Being cash-based allows us to give you a full, undivided one-on-one session with Dr. Brooke every single visit, no aides, no split attention, no 15-minute slots. We provide superbills upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept HSA and FSA payments. It is an investment in care that actually addresses the root cause.
