Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting started near St. Johns.
Yes. Florida allows direct access to physical therapy, so there is no referral required to schedule your free discovery call or evaluation. If your insurance plan requires a referral for potential out-of-network reimbursement, we'll help you understand that process after your initial visit.
A lot of people near St. Johns come to us after previous PT experiences where they saw different providers each visit, spent most of their session on a table, or left without a clear understanding of why they were injured. At First Coast Running Medicine, you see Dr. Brooke every single visit, one-on-one. The focus is on identifying the root cause and building a plan around your specific goals, not running through a protocol.
Absolutely. We treat active adults of all kinds, lifters, field and court sport athletes, pickleball players, and anyone dealing with an orthopedic injury that is limiting their training or sport participation. The clinic specializes in running mechanics, but the care extends to all active adults who want expert, individualized treatment.
Our goal is to keep you moving. For most injuries, the answer is not complete rest, it is smart load management and targeted strengthening while the problem gets addressed. We modify activity where needed, but we are not in the business of benching people who are motivated to stay active.
We are a cash-based practice, meaning you pay directly and get a full one-on-one session with Dr. Brooke every visit, no aides, no handoffs, no split appointments. We provide superbills upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance plan, and we accept HSA and FSA payments. Call us to talk through the details before your first visit.
