Internship Programs

I am a third-year DPT student who completed my third full-time clinical rotation at Kinetix Physical Therapy. Of all my clinical experiences, this rotation challenged me the most and played a significant role in my growth as a clinician. From day one, I was pushed to move beyond my comfort zone and strive for excellence. Kinetix fosters a culture where “good enough” is not the standard, and every individual is supported in reaching their full potential. I was fortunate to learn under Dr. Scott Eddins, whose passion for patient care and commitment to high-quality physical therapy is the gold standard for the profession. I am grateful for my experience at Kinetix and would highly recommend this clinic to future physical therapy students.

This summer, I had the opportunity to intern for the second time with Kinetix Physical Therapy at the Arbor Greens location, and I have no words to express how incredible PT Dr. Jake Reidy and PTA Carter Meyers have been to me. Beyond teaching me new knowledge in anatomy and physiology, they have shown me what genuine patient care is and what it truly means to be a healthcare professional. This internship has greatly prepared me for applying to healthcare programs and deepened my understanding of patient-centered care. I will forever be grateful to PT Dr. Scott Eddins and the entire Kinetix team for being not only amazing teachers but also incredibly caring and supportive individuals.

As a third-year undergrad at the University of Central Florida, my internship at Kinetix was impactful. I’m incredibly thankful for the guidance of Scott and Sara, who significantly boosted my confidence with patients and where asking questions was encouraged. Their love for this field motivated me daily to want to be better everyday. I also want to appreciate all of the other PTAs, DPTs, and other students that made this internship exciting and inviting everyday. Meeting patients and developing my communication skills were highlights that I’ll always value, and I appreciate being part of their care. This experience has strengthened my clinical knowledge and confidence, which I now apply in my work with my university’s athletics. The lasting friendships and connections I made during this internship are something I’ll always cherish. I am so excited to keep pursuing this career for the positive impact that it makes on many lives and I got to see that first hand at kinetix!

I am a 2nd year doctoral student from the University at Buffalo (Go Bills!), and I had the privilege of completing my 12-week clinical rotation at Kinetix Physical Therapy. Being from New York, it was a big change spending the summer away from home, but they welcomed me like family and instantly made Gainesville feel like home. I am honored to have worked with Dr. Scott Eddins and Sara Hellriegel, who challenged me daily, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and taught me lessons in kindness, compassion, and confidence that I’ll carry for life. Also, I am so grateful to have met amazing/fun patients who trusted me to be part of their care and allowed me to learn from them. What makes Kinetix so special is that I was genuinely excited to come into the clinic every single day, because they don’t just invest in your skills, they invest in YOU! This valuable experience gave me a greater love for physical therapy, meaningful friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime. I can say with confidence that Kinetix will always be my favorite clinical rotation.

In eight weeks, I have gone from never having worked in a clinic to feeling confident with treating patients. Under his guidance, I have been able to practice my skills and receive valuable feedback after each interaction. He has continually gone above and beyond in helping me grow my skills as an SPT. He has consistently provided me with great opportunities to improve my PT skills throughout all aspects of the profession. Working under Jed, I have consistently felt like a valued member of his team rather than just a student. His genuine desire to help improve my skills as a future PT was evident immediately. For all of these reasons and many more, I commend Dr. Jed Meyers for hisrnpivotal role in my clinical experience as an SPT.rn

My time as an undergraduate intern at Kinetix was a great experience. From my first day, I felt welcomed and supported by the entire team. The strong learning environment allowed me to build confidence leading patients through exercises and greatly expand my knowledge . Working with the patients at Kinetix was one of the most enjoyable parts of my time in undergrad, and I feel well prepared for my future career thanks to the guidance of Dr. Scott Eddins and Sara Hellriegel. I am truly thankful to everyone at Kinetix who helped me along my journey, and I would recommend Kinetix to any student interested in physical therapy!

Kinetix Physical Therapy has brought me so many growing opportunities. As a student from Slippery Rock University, I was able to transform my knowledge into practical situations. I grew professionally, and personally. I would highly recommend Kinetix Physical Therapy to students who are looking to go into the physical therapy field as this clinic provides you with knowledge to succeed further down your career path in graduate school. I was lucky enough to work with Dr. Scott Eddins and Sara Hellriegel who pushed me to become a brighter and stronger student. I feel they prepared me for my future career. Though I decided to proceed with my career in physician assistance this intern experience boosted my confidence in patient connection and care! I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities provided by Kinetix.

I am a 3rd year doctoral PT student and was given the amazing opportunity to experience a 12-week clinical rotation with the family of Kinetix Physical Therapy. I am a student from Northeast Georgia and had to make a big move down to Gainesville, FL not knowing anyone and the family at Kinetix welcomed me with open arms. My time here at Kinetix has expanded my learning, made me more confident as a future clinician, and shown me what it’s like to work at a place that truly values all patients/coworkers. I am thankful to have learned from the BEST clinical instructor I have ever had, Dr. Scott Eddins, PT, DPT. Thank you everyone at Kinetix for being my family away from home and thank you to all the patients who helped to make me a better future physical therapist!

My name is Hailey Mahan and I am a second year doctoral student with Brenau University. I am incredibly grateful that my first clinical rotation was at Kinetix, as it was an experience that far exceeded my expectations. From day one, I felt welcomed into a family-like environment where everyone genuinely cared about each other, and the patients received exceptional care. Scott, my clinical instructor, played a pivotal role in my growth by challenging me to think critically and apply my classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios. His guidance, encouragement, and patience had a profound impact on my development as a clinician. The patients at Kinetix were equally amazing—kind, motivated, and fully engaged in their care. It was incredibly rewarding to work with them and witness their progress firsthand. This rotation not only strengthened my clinical skills but also reaffirmed my passion for physical therapy. I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to learn and grow in such a supportive and inspiring environment.

My time interning with Kinetix Physical Therapy proved to be an incredibly valuable learning experience. Coming into the clinic, I was excited to have one on one interaction with patients, but that experience would come to reaffirm my decision to pursue physical therapy. Being able to learn the exercises and walk patients through their care taught me how to become more personable and adjust to each person’s individual needs and goals. The information I learned from the physical therapists and the physical therapy assistants was a wonderful tool that I know will continue to assist me in my undergraduate studies. I learned the purpose of each of the exercises assigned, as well as how to progress each patient through their regiment, and the importance of proper weight and intensity of the exercise. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is interested in learning about physical therapy, or simply getting patient care hours to come to Kinetix. I feel significantly more prepared to finish my degree having gained these skills from my internship.

This was my first internship experience as an undergraduate student, and I couldn’t have asked for a better organization. I am grateful for Dr. Scott Eddins and Brent Lira, PTA, that made this journey all about learning and understanding what patient care and physical therapy is truly all about. This internship has taught me everything from problem solving, professionalism, teamwork, leadership and more! Every member in that team treats you like family and inspires you to follow and succeed in your future endeavors. Kinetix Physical Therapy will always have a special place in my heart.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for being placed here for my first clinical rotation. The community at Kinetix is so welcoming that they made me feel like part of the family right away. I was privileged to work with and be mentored by outstanding physical therapists and physical therapist aides. My clinical instructor, Scott, embodied everything I hope to be as a physical therapist. He is kind, compassionate, respectful, and communicative with his students, peers, and patients. Scott was always encouraging and supportive throughout my clinical experience. I was exposed to many unique tools that most clinics don’t have, such as EMG, ultrasound, laser, Neubie, and much more. If you want to improve your manual skills, this is the place, and Scott is the CI for you. I am now much more confident as a student and have gained a wealth of knowledge from completing my clinical rotation here.

I had the opportunity to complete my internship for my final undergraduate semester at Kinetix Physical Therapy. From the moment I stepped in for my interview, I quickly observed that this clinic operates through collaboration, innovative thinking, and a passion for offering care. I had the pleasure of working under Dr. Scott Eddins and Sara Hellriegel, PTA. They directly influenced my success as an intern by encouraging me to continue expanding my knowledge, take initiative, and use critical thinking skills with each individual patient. Completing my internship at Kinetix provided me with an extensive skill set I will use throughout my time at UF Nursing School and future career. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for the Kinetix team, patients, and experiences I had during my internship. I truly believe I will be a better healthcare professional because of my time spent at Kinetix Physical Therapy, and offer my highest recommendation to anyone who has the opportunity to become a part of the team!rn

I had an amazing opportunity to complete my last semester and internship at Kinetix. Kinetix is an inclusive learning-centered clinic that encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving. I feel that I have truly grown as a person and future healthcare professional with my time there. Working under the direct guidance and support of both Sara Hellriegel, PTA, and Dr. Scott Eddins was truly a wonderful match as I got to experience both scopes of practice. They built a positive learning environment that not only guided you through their thought process, but also challenged you to think critically. I was able to gain insight on what it meant to be a physical therapist and how taking a detail-oriented approach will lead to exceptional care. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn, shadow, ask questions, and in turn, build confidence in my ability to be a clinician. Working with this phenomenal team at Kinetix exposed me to a variety of different approaches to therapy and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to end my undergraduate career. The experiences and knowledge that I gained here is invaluable. I highly recommend Kinetix to anybody that has the pleasure of working with this team, whether it be as a student, employee, or a patient.

I had the opportunity of doing my last physical therapy clinical rotation with Kinetix Physical Therapy. From the moment I arrived to the clinic, everyone was welcoming from the front office staff to the clinicians. I got to learn and grow from some of the best people I have ever met. Kinetix is unique because it takes physical therapy to the next level through their laser and Neubie devices as well as diagnostic tools such as the nerve conduction study and ultrasound. I was able to evaluate a variety of orthopedic conditions and provide an individualized plan of care through manual therapy and therapeutic interventions. My CI was Dr. Jen Socarras who allowed me to be myself and grow my confidence in my skills in order to proceed into the workforce. Kinetix Physical Therapy is a place that puts patient’s first and strives to be better everyday. I would highly recommend as a DPT student or undergrad intern to do a rotation with Kinetix.

I had an amazing experience doing my last clinical rotation at Kinetix! I was able to learn so much from Dr. Scott Eddins. He went above and beyond helping me become a confident clinician. I will always appreciate the commitment he had to always helping me, and making sure I was where I needed to be. Not only did I learn from Scott, I also had the opportunity to learn from Sara. I had a great experience working alongside her and the rest of the Kinetix therapists. The entire Kinetix staff were outgoing, and they all helped me fit into the clinic atmosphere. I am leaving Kinetix grateful for the amazing people I met along the way. I highly recommend Kinetix Physical Therapy to any PT student interested in ortho/neuro PT.

I was extremely fortunate to complete my first clinical rotation at Kinetix Physical Therapy. It has such a positive energy. Everyone at Kinetix was welcoming, approachable, and always willing to help. In my 7 weeks there, I learned much about various diagnoses, conditions, post-surgical care, different treatment techniques, use of MSKUS and EMG/nerve conduction study, and more. My PT toolbox expanded thanks to all the PTs, PTAs, techs, and other interns I had the privilege to work with and learn from. My greatest thank you goes to my CI, Dr. Rafael Cui, who was always patient with my questions, interested in my thoughts and ideas about treatments, and respectful of my goals, strengths, and weaknesses. He helped me feel more self-confident in my knowledge and skills. Having the opportunity to watch his passion for the field, empathy for his patients, and unlimited creativity to meet his patients’ goals sparked my own creativity and excitement for continued learning. He was an excellent mentor, who guided me not only through my clinical decision-making, but also through various challenges of a DPT student and that of a future post-graduate clinician. What I’ve learned at Kinetix will serve me for years to come professionally and personally. I couldn’t be more grateful to have gained such a strong foundation as a future PT and I wholeheartedly recommend Kinetix to any future student or patient.

Kinetix Physical Therapy was my first clinical rotation and was by far the best experience that I could have asked for. I spent 7 weeks under the guidance of Dr. Scott Eddins, PT, DPT and he geared my time to what I wanted to get most out of my experience. Scott took the time to get to know me and valued the goals that I wanted to accomplish. He was an amazing teacher who not only made the experience a partnership, but also epitomized the type of clinician that I want to strive to become. The environment of Kinetix Physical Therapy was one that embraced learning, which fueled my experience and made me excited to come into clinic every day. I was able to learn from all the clinicians and be exposed to advanced diagnostic imaging, offering me a unique opportunity that was like no other. Kinetix Physical Therapy helped me grow my confidence in my clinical decision making, my examination flow, my manual therapy skills, and my exercise selection; allowing me to develop a strong foundation for orthopedic care. This foundation truly helped carry me through my next clinical rotation and will be a foundation that I will continue to grow on as I further my time in DPT school and so on. I could not have asked for a better experience as Kinetix Physical Therapy showed me what it means to value the work of a physical therapist and what the standard of a high-quality clinician should be. I appreciate Scott, Sara, the undergraduate interns, and all the clinicians that I had the pleasure of learning and working with. Any student who has the pleasure of being placed at Kinetix Physical Therapy will leave this clinical a better student and future clinician.

My clinical rotation at Kinetix was a great learning experience. It was very apparent that Kinetix sets a higher standard in the quality of care than other physical therapy clinics that I have seen. My clinical instructor and all of the staff went above and beyond in helping me develop my skills as a clinician. I was able to gain exposure to technologies such as class IV laser therapy, and diagnostic ultrasound. I became vastly more proficient in my evaluation and manual therapy skills in such a short time. I now feel very confident going forward into my next clinical rotations. I would highly recommend doing a clinical rotation at Kinetix for any DPT students who want to quickly build their confidence and skill set in orthopedic physical therapy.

Kinetix Physical Therapy gave me the opportunity to learn hands-on while observing the team that makes up this facility. My internship through Kinetix was inspiring and substantial toward my future experience in the field. The cooperation and sense of community made me grateful for my choice in choosing Kinetix as my internship site, including both my co-workers and fellow patients. I am thankful to have worked and learned from the PTs, PTAs, and everyone from the facility during my time there. I would also like to thank my former PTA supervisor and my main PT supervisor, Leanne Quinn, for their patience, trust, and influence on my path in the field and as an intern serving at the facility. I wouldn’t trade my experience for the world and strongly recommend the choice in taking that next step through Kinetix to become a part of the team yourself, whether that be as a patient or employee.

I was an intern at Kinetix for about 16 weeks, and during my time there I was able to accomplish everything I wanted and more. Kinetix is truly a learning-focused environment that encourages curiosity, emphasizes teamwork, and promotes growth in multiple areas of life. After my internship at Kinetix I felt I had become a better student and a better individual overall, using skills I learned at the clinic to excel in my personal life too. Working under Dr. Scott Eddins I was able to understand the many responsibilities a professional Doctor of Physical Therapy is meant to carry and perform. He always took the time to answer questions, explain procedures in detail, and make sure I was always moving one step closer to my goals. His excellent approach towards patients and staff was admirable and allowed me to improve the way I interacted with others at the clinic. I also got the chance to work with many of the other DPTs and PTAs in the clinic, which allowed for a learning experience from multiple angles as they each have their own style of teaching. Ranging from initial patient evaluations in which I got to observe the diagnostic process, to walking patients through their prescribed exercise programs, the variety of experiences I was able to engage with at Kinetix was incomparable. Kinetix has granted me the opportunity to grow by giving me the freedom to work independently with patients in a clinical setting, while constantly encouraging the application of academic knowledge into our work. The diversity of patients and modalities found in the clinic is far beyond those I have encountered before. I believe the Kinetix team is the best at advocating for the well-being of their patients, students, interns, and staff.

Kinetix Physical Therapy provided me with the opportunity to complete my first clinical rotation. For six weeks, I was able to work alongside experienced clinicians and fellow students. I worked under Dr. Scott Eddins who was a great role model and took extra time out of his day to ensure I was accomplishing my goals. Kinetix provided me with ample opportunities to learn and gain new experiences. I was nervous to re-enter a clinic for the first time since starting Physical Therapy school however, this experience was all I could have asked for and more. My confidence in my clinical skills grew substantially as I became more proficient in clinical reasoning, manual therapy, and modality-based treatments. I was able to accomplish all my goals set during my rotation. Not only was I able to accomplish my goals but I was provided with the opportunity to observe and interact with some of the most advanced diagnostics including EMG and ultrasound. I learned more about special areas of treatment of jaw pain and dizziness/vertigo which Kinetix specializes in. I am thankful for Dr. Scott Eddins, the patients I was blessed to work with, and, all of the amazing members of the Kinetix community. My advice to future students is to enter the clinic every day ready to be a sponge and eager to learn as much as they can. Ask questions, set clear goals for yourself, and remember that being a student means there is always room to learn something new! Thank you to the Kinetix community for the opportunity to learn and grow for 6 weeks I could not have asked for a better first experience in the clinic.

I was given the opportunity to have my 12-week clinical rotation at Kinetix. It was my first full-time outpatient clinic experience, and initially, I felt nervous and insecure in my ability to effectively evaluate, treat, and manage patients in the outpatient setting. As a third year PT student, I was hoping for a clinical experience where I could develop my critical thinking skills, leadership skills, further develop my manual therapy techniques, and refine my evaluation process, so that I can feel ready to manage orthopedic cases when I become a licensed PT. I was granted all those opportunities and more during my time at Kinetix. My clinical instructor, Dr. Scott Eddins, challenged me beyond my own expectations for myself and made sure I had every opportunity available to meet and exceed the goals that I established each week. Through his encouragement and guidance, I learned so much and developed significantly as a clinician in such a short time. I also observed many diagnostic ultrasounds, EMG/NCS studies, and laser treatment sessions, which are services that set Kinetix apart from other outpatient clinics. The rest of the staff and other students provided a very supportive, friendly, nonjudgmental, learning, and team-oriented community where I felt comfortable asking questions, practicing skills, and learning from mistakes. The atmosphere and energy of a clinical setting can make or break so much of your experience as a student, and I believe Kinetix provides an unmatched atmosphere that fosters excellence and learning in the outpatient orthopedic setting. My advice for future students is to maximize your experience by asking questions, learning and practicing as many skills as you can, and take every opportunity for learning with an open mind for feedback and constructive criticism. This is a clinical experience that you will get out of what you put into it. I enjoyed my time here and I’m thankful for the role Kinetix has played in my career development!

I had the pleasure of spending eight weeks as a UF DPT student at Kinetix Physical Therapy. As a prospective physical therapist, I understand that our clinical rotations can play a vital role in molding us as clinicians. I have learned many lessons among my internships so far; however, my time here at Kinetix has shown me not all clinical sites – nor clinical instructors – are created equal. Between the welcoming demeanor of the staff and the professional expertise of my clinical instructor, Dr. Rafael Cui, I felt right at home on day one. Dr. Cui’s passion for the field of physical therapy is inspiring, and he goes above and beyond to ensure his students leave their clinical experience with a newfound confidence in their craft. If you have a chance to learn here, do not pass it up. Take every second you can to pick the brains of the many clinicians and staff members here that pride themselves on making physical therapy an effective and enjoyable experience for every patient.

I was student here for my final clinical rotation for DPT school. Despite all my schooling, I believe it was actually this clinic that best prepared me for clinic life. I am now a new grad travel PT and was ready to step into that role because of how this clinic prepared me and the various types of patients I got to treat here. This clinic built me up to handling my own case load, making independent decisions, and developing plans of care. With the other students, PTAs, and PTs (Dr. Cui as my mentor), I learned so much and I find myself wishing I had the resources this clinic as to offer patients. Patients get better here, they just do! The community is amazing and fosters such an air of motivational healing and wellness. The quality of care is absolutely genuine (for both patients and students!) and I find myself incorporating the creative approaches to PT within my own current practice. I’m super fortunate my experiences here!

I had an opportunity to complete an 8-week clinical rotation at Kinetix. Kinetix is an awesome clinic that prioritizes patient care and PT student education. Everyone in the clinic works well as a team to ensure the best treatment and experience available for patients. During that time Dr. Scott Eddins was my clinical instructor, a great mentor, and I am blessed to have been his student. He was always willing to take time out to provide feedback and practice hands-on skills with me even if it meant staying late after work. It was my first outpatient clinical rotation, and it provided me with a great learning environment to improve my examination, evaluation, intervention, and critical thinking skills. Dr. Eddins also taught me to interpret EMG, NCS, and ultrasound results which allowed me to have a deeper understanding of nerve and musculoskeletal injuries. My experience at Kinetix was much more than I expected from an internship. I want to personally thank Dr. Scott Eddins and everyone at Kinetix for providing me with an unforgettable experience. Thank you for mentoring me and allowing me to benefit from your many years of experience. I’ve always considered you to be just as much of a mentor as you are a friend. I will truly miss my time here and I would not hesitate to recommend Kinetix Physical Therapy to any student who has the passion to pursue a career in physical therapy!

As an aspiring physical therapist, interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy gave me invaluable experiences that allowed me to apply knowledge from the classroom and learn more about physical therapy in a clinical setting. I had the privilege to shadow directly under Dr. Jacob Reidy and gain insight on patient care and the rehabilitation process in the OGC. All the students and staff I worked with were truly wonderful and helped me grow throughout my internship. Thank you Kinetix for giving me an opportunity to pursue my passion and getting me one step closer to reaching my career goals.

Thanks to Kinetix for such a great last clinical internship. A lot of graduate students feel burnt out by the end of their program. Because their professors are difficult, they’ve been sacrificing weekends to study, and they’ve accrued a lot of student debt. The mentorship I found at Kinetix helped me to overcome these stressors and reignite my love for physical therapy. They taught me not only how to be a more effective therapist, but a better and more compassionate human being. Special shout-out to my CI, Dr. Rafael Cui, for being a great example of the kind of therapist I want to embody. I loved my time here and value so much what this clinic provides to both their patients and us new grads. Thanks again!

I had the honor of completing my undergraduate internship at Kinetix Physical Therapy under the supervision of Dr. Scott Eddins. He is the prime example of the type of physical therapist I strive to be one day. He was always genuinely supportive of me and my future. Observing him and his team everyday allowed me to see the importance of prioritizing the patient and making individualized treatment plans to best fit each of their personal needs and goals. Throughout my internship, Dr. Scott Eddins challenged me to push myself outside of my comfort zone to grow both mentally and physically. He taught me that I will never be done learning and gave me the space to make mistakes then respond to those mistakes so that I could learn and progress my skills and knowledge exponentially. As my confidence and abilities improved, he increased my responsibilities giving me more chances to develop my skills and interact with patients while leaning on his PT students for advice and guidance. The way they authentically communicated with patients and adapted their treatment approach to each patients’ individual needs was inspiring and motivated me to do the same. One of the most rewarding aspects of this internship was getting to see patients through their entire recovery and watch them leave strong, healthy, and satisfied with their treatment. The opportunity I had interning at Kinetix remains unparalleled to any experience I’ve ever had, challenging me in more ways than one to advance my communication, expertise, and clinical skills to the next level. Actually, getting to utilize what I learned made this experience invaluable. I was able to grow both internally as a person and collectively as a potential student physical therapist. I am one step closer to the career of my dreams and I have Dr. Scott Eddins and the entire staff of Kinetix to thank for that. They truly welcomed me with open arms always willing to teach, provide feedback and encourage me to make the most of my time there. I want to personally thank Dr. Scott Eddins, his students, and the entire staff for the incredible impact they made. I am beyond grateful for my time at Kinetix as an intern and highly recommend it to future undergraduate/graduate students.

I had an opportunity to complete a 12-week clinical internship at Kinetix Physical Therapy. My clinical instructor, Dr. Scott Eddins was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of PT. Dr. Eddins provided appreciable guidance to help me learn and grow as a future clinician while also giving me the freedom to improve my clinical decision making skills. Everyone at Kinetix was approachable and always willing to answer all my questions and concerns. Throughout 12 weeks, I’ve learned and grown so much not only as a future clinician but also as a person. I’ve gained so much confidence in my ability to treat patients with various conditions. I want to thank Dr. Scott Eddins and everyone at Kinetix for providing myself and other students with such a wonderful experience. I will miss my time here and I am thankful for the opportunity to complete my internship here at Kinetix Physical Therapy.

I had the pleasure of completing a 6-week internship at Kinetix PT. Kinetix is an excellent clinic that prioritizes patient care and student education/growth. The Kinetix staff was supportive from Day 1 by answering questions and giving advice when needed. Dr. Scott Eddins was my clinical instructor and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor. He was supportive in every way by answering questions, challenging me to critically think, and providing constructive criticism. He truly cares about his students learning and growing to be the best versions of themselves clinically. I am very grateful I had my internship at Kinetix and would recommend to any undergraduate/graduate student!

I completed an 8-week DPT internship at Kinetix. I felt at home from the moment I arrived. Everyone was approachable, friendly, and it was truly a family atmosphere. My CI, Dr. Scott Eddins, is everything a Doctor of Physical Therapy should be. He took the time to understand who I am, where I was coming from, and what my goals were. He was able to adapt his teaching methods to my preferred learning style. He significantly increased my knowledge of manual and orthopedic Physical Therapy by answering my questions, demonstrating skills and allowing me to practice skills while providing helpful feedback, and giving me the opportunity to be challenged as a clinician. I was never afraid to fail in this environment because I knew I had the best support around. Dr. Scott Eddins is a great mentor and I am truly blessed to have been his student. I will forever miss my time at Kinetix. I am thankful for everything I have learned here especially the confidence, skillset, and relationships I have gained.

Kinetix Physical Therapy is more than a team, it’s a family that works together on every aspect to ensure that clients are treated not only with respect but with care and encouragement. PTs, PTAs, exercise techs, students, and volunteers guarantee an excellent learning, fast-paced environment that really trains you to be a quick reliable thinker. Another thing that I admire about the clinic is the help they offer to the Gainesville community, from monthly donations to different non-profit organizations to informative seminars that spread the importance of physical therapy and living a healthy active life. I want to give special thanks to my CI, Dr. Scott for being my mentor during my summer internship and for pushing me to get out of my comfort zone. He taught me about EMGs and Ultrasounds and allowed me to learn beyond common orthopedic injuries. This was an unforgettable experience!

I completed an 8-week physical therapy internship at Kinetix. The staff, my CI, and other interns were so welcoming and approachable. I gained so much confidence in my ability as a future PT during my time at Kinetix. My CI, Dr. Rafael Cui, instilled trust in me and allowed me to figure out what worked for certain patients. However, he was still approachable and I knew I could rely on him to answer my questions/concerns. I learned so much about physical therapy, conditions such as BPPV, adhesive capsulitis, LBP, TMJ dysfunction, and even Charcot Marie Tooth Disorder. I also learned so much about myself and how I learn best (which my CI made sure to utilize my preferred learning method when teaching me a manual therapy technique or special test). I was never afraid to fail during my time at Kinetix because the entire internship was a “no pressure” environment. I will truly miss my time here and I am so thankful for the experience, knowledge, and confidence I have gained at Kinetix.

Kinetix Physical Therapy provided me with the opportunity to complete my first clinical rotation. For six weeks, I was able to work alongside experienced clinicians and fellow students. I worked under Dr. Scott Eddins who was a great role model and took extra time out of his day to ensure I was accomplishing my goals. Kinetix provided me with ample opportunities to learn and gain new experiences. I was nervous to re-enter a clinic for the first time since starting Physical Therapy school however, this experience was all I could have asked for and more. My confidence in my clinical skills grew substantially as I became more proficient in clinical reasoning, manual therapy, and modality-based treatments. I was able to accomplish all my goals set during my rotation. Not only was I able to accomplish my goals but I was provided with the opportunity to observe and interact with some of the most advanced diagnostics including EMG and ultrasound. I learned more about special areas of treatment of jaw pain and dizziness/vertigo which Kinetix specializes in. I am thankful for Dr. Scott Eddins, the patients I was blessed to work with, and, all of the amazing members of the Kinetix community. My advice to future students is to enter the clinic every day ready to be a sponge and eager to learn as much as they can. Ask questions, set clear goals for yourself, and remember that being a student means there is always room to learn something new! Thank you to the Kinetix community for the opportunity to learn and grow for 6 weeks I could not have asked for a better first experience in the clinic.I completed a 15-week internship at Kinetix Physical Therapy. I learned so much about the physical therapy field and all it entails. My questions were always welcomed by any of the staff members, and they always went out of their way to take the time to teach me something new. I have never had such a hands-on experience. I enjoyed the variety of diagnoses seen and grateful to be a part of the positive patient/staff relationship they’ve built. Kinetix truly provided me with the tools and resources for my future and I cannot thank them enough.

I consider myself very fortunate to have had my first clinical internship opportunity at Kinetix. I enjoyed their warm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. Their intervention approaches created a patient-centered environment and focused on instilling trust between the patient and clinician. With the help of their wonderful staff, I was not only able to improve my clinical skills, but I was also able to learn professional strategies and interventions that I will continue to use in my future practice. My clinical instructor, Dr. Rafael Cui was one of the most caring and knowledgeable physical therapists I have been around. His dedication and compassion is evident in the way he treats his staff and patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Kinetix Physical Therapy to any student who would like to see what an excellent outpatient practice should look like.

Spending my final clinical rotation at Kinetix Physical Therapy has been an unequivocally beneficial experience. Kinetix is a wonderful setting, with a focus on patient care and experience that I believe all outpatient clinics should seek to emulate. The many hard-working students, the diligent patient care coordinators and support staff, and the excellent clinicians made working at Kinetix an absolute pleasure. I would like to thank all the Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants for sharing your insight and experience with me. I would also like to personally thank my clinical instructor, Dr. Rafael Cui. In Raf I feel I have found a lifelong mentor and friend. He took an earnest interest not only in my development as a clinician, but also in my growth as a person. As I graduate, finishing this chapter and opening the next, I am truly grateful to have been here. I will miss working with you all.

I had the pleasure of spending eight weeks at Kinetix Physical Therapy learning and growing. During that time Dr. Scott Eddins was my clinical instructor and he was a great example of what a Doctor of Physical Therapy should be. I’m grateful for the learning experiences and encouragement he provided. He was always willing to take time out to answer questions and practice hands on skills even if it meant staying late. The whole Kinetix team was also always willing to assist in anyway. The team collaboration and welcoming atmosphere makes Kinetix Physical Therapy an amazing setting to learn as a PT student. I am very thankful for the time I was able to spend at this facility and would recommend it to any student in need of an internship/rotation!

I had a 12-week clinical experience at Kinetix Physical Therapy with, Rafael Cui, PT, DPT, as my Clinical Instructor. Over the 12 weeks, I had the opportunity to learn new treatment techniques; grow in my examination, evaluation, intervention, and critical thinking skills; and increase my confidence as a future physical therapist. I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside every employee at Kinetix and highly recommend Rafael as a Clinical Instructor. My time at Kinetix has prepared me well to properly treat patients, using evidence-based practice, in the outpatient orthopedic setting; and I am grateful for my time spent there.

I completed a student rotation at Kinetix Physical Therapy for my DPT program. I found the staff to be incredibly welcoming and kind. I learned a LOT and always felt free to ask questions. I enjoyed the dynamics of the clinic as well as the variety of diagnoses seen. The employees are very knowledgeable and great educators! The intern/clinical rotation program is organized well and a wonderful opportunity for any student! I truly learned so much and felt right at home! I cannot recommend Kinetix Physical Therapy enough for any student considering rotation sites. Great clinic, great people.

My internship at Kinetix Physical Therapy was extremely exciting and inspiring. The way this team of PTs, PTAs, and exercise techs work together so seamlessly is something I will carry with me into my future. The knowledge I gained from working in this fast-paced environment is invaluable, and the level of care I was able to participate in as an intern was the epitome of excellence. A huge thank you to my clinical instructor, Dr. Rafael Cui, for pushing me to dig deeper and develop further both professionally and personally. I am very thankful for the opportunity to have worked alongside such amazing people.

Dr. Rafael Cui and the rest of the team at Kinetix provided me with a wonderful first clinical rotation experience. Rafael was a great clinical instructor and a perfect example of the type of physical therapist I would like to be in the future. He pushed me out of my comfort zone and provided me with the tools to become the best clinician I could be. Although it was only 6 weeks long, I am grateful for how much I learned during my experience. My experience at Kinetix will lay the foundation of what type of clinician I want to be in the future. I will surely miss Rafael and the team at Kinetix!

I spent my first clinical rotation with the Kinetix team. For seven weeks, I had the pleasure of having Dr. Scott Eddins as my clinical instructor. From day one, he made it clear that I was able to determine the nature of this experience. He set realistic expectations for a first-time student, and allowed me to move comfortably within those boundaries, but also challenging me to extend past them if I was willing. This freedom allowed me to truly reflect and see where I had the biggest opportunity to grow as a clinician. Each week brought a new goal that Scott and others would help me to achieve. Scott and his entire team were so approachable, willing to answer all the questions I had for them. They all created such a positive and enriching environment for students and patients alike.

I completed my second clinical rotation as a DPT student at Kinetix and I could not have asked for a better experience! Dr. Scott Eddins, my clinical instructor, was an amazing mentor and teacher. I learned so much from him and left this clinical feeling more confident as a future clinician. The whole staff worked so well together and it made for a great learning environment. Everyone was so encouraging and always willing to answer questions. You could tell they really wanted you to succeed. For any new student starting an internship here, know you’re in good hands. I’m truly thankful for my time and experience at Kinetix Physical Therapy.

I couldn’t have asked for a better internship experience. My internship at Kinetix was the most educational 4 months of my life and helped me prepare for PT school. I was accepted into the Kinetix family with open arms and I looked forward to coming into work every day. I’m so thankful for the time I got to spend working in the clinic surrounded by such a great staff. Kinetix is by far the best internship opportunity in Northern Florida for any student interested in Physical Therapy. The doctors, PTAs, and exercise techs did a great job challenging the interns while also facilitating the learning process to maximize the amount I was able to take away from the experience. Dr. Scott Eddins has been a great mentor and a role model to me over my time at Kinetix. I’m very thankful for everything he’s done for me. Any student looking to learn more about the Physical Therapy field or shadow under therapists should reach out to Kinetix to make sure they are learning from the best in Gainesville.

I came to Kinetix for my second clinical rotation during PT school. I came into this rotation not knowing what to expect. Dr. Scott Eddins, my CI, was amazing and I learned more hands-on skills here than I did in my ortho classes. Getting to work with all the other students and other clinicians was an awesome experience. I really enjoyed my time here and feel that I have gained so much knowledge in these few short weeks. I am so glad that I did my second rotation at Kinetix.

Today is the final day of my internship with Kinetix and I must say it is difficult to leave. The therapists and students here are all amazing and I have truly enjoyed getting to know them and learning from them. Dr. Rafael Cui has been my clinical instructor and I cannot thank him enough for the things he has shown me and the ways he has helped me grow as a future physical therapist. All of the therapists here truly care for their patients and really want you to feel better. If you have any physical therapy needs, do not hesitate to reach out to this clinic. You will be glad you did.

u003cpu003eHow did you become interested in pediatric physical therapy?u003c/pu003ernrnu003cpu003eI’ve always loved working with children. Children bring me a lot of joy – I was always so happy when I volunteered and worked over the years at daycares, sleep-away camps, and programs. During my time at Kinetix Physical Therapy, my clinical instructor Dr. Rafael Cui let me demonstrate my ideas for fun exercises that we could use with his pediatric patients. He taught me that even as a professional, you can be creative and fun, all the while keeping the patient engaged and working towards goals that they had set. After working with those patients, I knew that this was the path that I wanted to take.u003c/pu003e

Unlike most students who enter physical therapy school right out of undergrad, I had a bachelor of the arts degree and spent several years working as a tech in a PT clinic while taking the necessary courses to apply to PT school. I became despondent when I found many clinics did not offer the time and quality of care that I had become accustomed to providing during my time as a tech. Entering my first clinical rotation as a DPT student, I was ebullient when I found out I was to be working at Kinetix Physical Therapy! I began my first day with the knowledge of my schooling under my belt, but unsure of how to begin using it for the benefit of my patients. I was placed with Dr. Rafael Cui as my clinical instructor. Dr. Cui and the team at Kinetix integrated me into clinical practice in a way that made me feel more comfortable and confident with every patient I treated. The sagacity that Dr. Cui expressed when treating patients is something I hope to emulate one day. Kinetix is multifarious with the types conditions that are treated, and I learned how to treat not just common orthopedic injuries, but also vertigo, post-op surgical protocols, and spinal cord injuries. The thing that made this such a great experience for me was the atmosphere between my co-workers and the patients. Everyone was upbeat and motivated to provide the best patient care they could, and I found it contagious. I believe this is what separates good clinical experience from a bad one and I thank Dr. Scott Eddins as the CCCE for setting up this clinical rotation with my school. Owners, Drs. Tony and Melissa Cere, certainly have the perspicacity of experienced clinicians when it comes to creating a clinical environment that benefits students and patients alike. A huge thank you to Dr. Cui, my undergraduate intern Goda, and the whole team at Kinetix for making my first experience as a practicing clinician one I will never forget!

Kinetix Physical Therapy was the site of my final clinical rotation as a DPT student and it was by far the best experience a student can have. The team was great at facilitating a learning environment for myself and other students while maintaining a high functioning clinic at the same time. The staff and culture at Kinetix is awesome – everyone is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and has something special and unique to bring to the table. As a student, it was great to be able to participate in outreach events and workshops to really get the full experience of what it’s like to be a PT. Scott is the Greatest CI of All Time. He is a natural teacher and was very approachable from day one – to the point where he became a career mentor for me. He found the perfect balance between guiding me in some things and really letting me feel like a staff PT with other things. I have learned things from Scott that I will carry on as a licensed clinician for years to come. If you are interested in outpatient physical therapy, this is the place to be! This was the perfect experience to bridge into the licensed PT world. Gainesville, FL has a special place in my heart because of Kinetix.

u003cpu003eOut of the many places a 4th year undergrad could choose to complete his internship, Kinetix Physical Therapy is undoubtedly the best. Nowhere else do you get the same kind of hands-on experience in such a friendly and relaxed environment. As an intern, I was given the opportunity to work one-on-one with a wide variety of patients, and as I took them through their exercises, I always felt as though I was an important member of the team. In addition, under the mentorship of wonderful PTs such as Dr. Scott Eddins, my knowledge, skills and confidence grew.u003c/pu003ernrnu003cpu003eAs for the staff, I have never met a more friendly group of clinicians and experts. The owners of Kinetix, Drs. Tony and Melissa Cere, have created the perfect balance between camaraderie and professionalism, and I always felt like a part of the family. I sincerely hope that one day I can return to Kinetix for my clinical internship as a DPT student at UF.u003c/pu003ernrnu003cpu003eSpecial thanks to Dr. Scott Eddins and Mr. Josh Miller for providing the experience and mentorship needed to carry me to new heights.u003c/pu003e

My internship experience at Kinetix was beyond incredible. At Kinetix, I was surrounded by superb physical therapists and PTAs but what made the experience so unique was the learning environment that they fostered. All undergraduate and DPT interns had the motivation to learn every day. DPT students took every opportunity to teach and lead the path for future PTs. I have learned so much to prepare me for my future. The team at Kinetix is really a family and I’m so happy to have been a part of it. Thank you to my CI, Josh Miller, and Scott for giving me all the opportunities to grow as a health care professional and student. If you’re looking for an internship, look no further than here. This is where you want to be!

Kinetix Physical Therapy is a truly remarkable place and one that I feel blessed to have attended for my first clinical internship as a DPT student from the University of Florida. I was a volunteer there some years ago, so interning there felt like coming home. From a student’s perspective, you would be hard pressed to find a better place to develop your clinical reasoning and hands-on skills. I feel like I have come a long way, both in my knowledge and confidence as a treating clinician, since coming to this clinic. The people who work at Kinetix are what make it an outstanding place, each taking an active role in providing excellent patient care and unrivaled educational experiences for the students who are lucky enough to learn there.

u003cpu003eI completed my second DPT student internship at Kinetix and it was an extremely positive experience that I would highly recommend to others. This clinic is exemplary in all aspects of physical therapy practice. This is the clinic you want to be a part of. It is a beacon for learning and growth and there is such a great energy throughout the whole clinic to provide quality patient care. There is a full team of expert clinicians, determined and involved undergraduate and DPT interns, and an educational and ambitious atmosphere. It was a great way to build my confidence and clinical skills.u003c/pu003ernrnu003cpu003eI owe so much of my great experience at Kinetix to my clinical instructor, Scott Eddins. He is an inspiration and you can tell he has a vision for growth- for his patients, for Kinetix, for himself as a PT, and for his family. He truly wants his students to excel as well. I always felt that he was dedicated to my education including allowing me to participate in various workshops and events with Kinetix. Although I was only at Kinetix for an 8-week rotation, it was very rewarding. Thank you to Scott, Melissa, Tony, and the entire Kinetix team for this great experience!u003c/pu003e

u003cpu003eIt’s been three months since I finished my internship and I can truthfully say that a day doesn’t go by where I don’t think about the Kinetix Team. My time at Kinetix exceeded all my expectations and I am so grateful that I was able to complete my undergraduate internship at such a warm, hospitable, and experienced clinic. As intern, I had the honor of working underneath Dr. Rafael Cui and DPT students Dan and Mark. I’m serious when I say that I learned more throughout the four months of my internship than I had throughout my four years at UF. To me, Dr. Cui was more than a clinical instructor; he was a true role model. He is the type of person who wants to see others succeed and will set each student up with the tools they need to reach their highest potential. During my internship, Dr. Cui went beyond the clinical practice and taught me about professionalism, while instilling confidence and independence in myself. He even taught me a thing or two about fashion since he’s the man with the coolest patterned button-downs!! Dr. Cui, thank you for being passionate in your work and making each day a learning experience!u003c/pu003ernrnu003cpu003eTo all the other hardworking PT’s, PTA’s, exercise specialists, interns and volunteers, I thank you all for always answering my questions, keeping a light atmosphere and truly making my experience at Kinetix the absolute best. The Kinetix culture is undoubtfully unique and I thank both Dr. Tony Cere and Dr. Melissa Cere for bringing all these entertaining and energetic professionals together. Special thanks to Dr. Scott Eddins for giving me the initial opportunity to be a part of the team and for all the country songs I learned!!!! I’m also eternally grateful for all the awesome patients I met!! KINETIX IS THE REAL DEAL!u003c/pu003e

I completed my second clinical rotation as a DPT student at Kinetix Physical Therapy and my experience there was nothing less than amazing! Before starting my internship, I did lots of research on the clinic. I clicked every link on their website and Facebook page; I was extremely excited to begin my journey. I had high expectations for this internship because of all the things I thought I would learn, and I can honestly say that Kinetix went above and beyond my expectations. I went into the internship a little nervous, but I believe that I am now a BEAST because of Kinetix! I am comfortable treating the usual orthopedic conditions (LBP, RTC injuries, TKA, THA, etc.), TMJ dysfunction, and vestibular disorders such as BPPV. The staff was amazing; everyone was willing to help from the front desk to the rehab team. There was a tremendous spirit of friendship and community amongst this group; I’ve shared so many laughs and memories with them, and I am delighted to have been a part of their family for that short period. The Kinetix environment was very conducive to my learning especially because of my CI, Dr. Scott Eddins. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done. Dr. Eddins has played a HUGE role in helping me become a better clinician. He provided excellent feedback, kept me on my toes with random questions and made sure I was always “comfortably challenged.” I can genuinely say, I’m ready for whatever my next internship throws at me, and I know that I can be a great CI in the future because of him. Kinetix will forever hold a special place in my heart. I highly recommend Kinetix to anyone seeking an internship opportunity.

I had an opportunity to complete a 12-week clinical internship at Kinetix Physical Therapy. My clinical instructor, Dr. Scott Eddins was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of PT. Dr. Eddins provided appreciable guidance to help me learn and grow as a future clinician while also giving me the freedom to improve my clinical decision making skills. Everyone at Kinetix was approachable and always willing to answer all my questions and concerns. Throughout 12 weeks, I’ve learned and grown so much not only as a future clinician but also as a person. I’ve gained so much confidence in my ability to treat patients with various conditions. I want to thank Dr. Scott Eddins and everyone at Kinetix for providing myself and other students with such a wonderful experience. I will miss my time here and I am thankful for the opportunity to complete my internship here at Kinetix Physical Therapy.

My first clinical rotation was at Kinetix and the people there made it such a wonderful and inspiring experience. The therapists ensure a sound learning environment and provide every opportunity for the student to grow and develop as a future physical therapist. Every Kinetix staff member has the patient in mind first and they all truly have hearts to serve. The Kinetix team is a tight-knit group with a common vision and honest leadership. As a student, I now feel more confident in my abilities and in my understanding of what it means to be an exceptional physical therapist. If you are an SPT looking for recommendations for a clinic rotation, Kinetix should be at the top of your list. I am very thankful for my time at Kinetix!

My experience as a Physical Therapy student as Kinetix Physical Therapy was life changing for my career and my own personal growth. This was my first clinical setting. I had a certain idea in mind of what I would experience and what I would be doing as a doctorate student, my Clinical Instructor Dr. Scott Eddins, the clinic staff, and clinic owners far exceeded my expectations. I felt at home in Gainesville, even though I was hundreds of miles away from my roots, thanks to Kinetix staff and patients. Not only did I learn from diverse clinical experiences, I had the opportunity to participate in community outreach clinics and gained confidence as a future PT. I could write so many great things about Scott, my CI, and Kinetix Physical Therapy, but to wrap this up I will say thanks!! To any students looking for an internship/clinical site, I would highly recommend Kinetix!

Being a DPT intern at Kinetix Physical Therapy has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Everyone in the clinic: the front desk staff, the therapists, exercise physiologists, and volunteers create an excellent learning environment. I looked forward to coming in to work every day and see what each day had to offer. Everyone is so willing to teach and is open to any questions I may have. The confidence in my abilities increased tremendously during my time here, and it is all thanks to the Kinetix team and wonderful patients for allowing me to have a great learning experience.

Kinetix Physical Therapy holds a special place in my heart. When I first started volunteering here, I wasn’t sure if physical therapy was my career goal. However, after working at such a rewarding and hands-on clinic, I quickly grew fond of this environment. Interning at Kinetix was one of the greatest undergraduate experiences I could have received and I am extremely grateful for working alongside and befriending the entire staff. I highly recommend Kinetix for anyone interested in the field!

I came for Kinetix for my 2nd of 3 internships as a DPT student from the University of St. Augustine to experience my first out patient orthopedic rotation. Scott Eddins has been my clinical instructor and immediately made me feel welcome among the rest of the Kinetix team. My doubts about what my knowledge, skills and abilities were put to rest as I immediately engaged in hands on experiences and opportunities with examinations/evaluations and treating patients using my manual therapy skills and therapeutic exercise knowledge. Scott and the entire team welcomed me into their family for 2 months, easily making this place my home away from home and somewhere I would hope to return to in a more permanent position. I have become a more confident soon-to-be practicing clinician because of Scott’s guidance and the learning opportunities with each team member and patient. If you’re looking to step out of your comfort zone, be challenged and grow exponentially, this is the place for you! Thank you Kinetix team, you will be missed.

As a 4th year Health Education and Behavior student, from UF, I had the pleasure of completing my final semester internship, at Kinetix Physical Therapy. All of the staff were more than willing to help with any questions I had and were glad to teach me. My clinical instructor, Eric Nadler, was the best and helped me learn so much and because of him I am prepared for my future endeavors. I would also like to thank Scott Eddins and the rest of the team for being such great people to work with. Also, a big thanks to the front office for keeping Kinetix running smoothly. You guys rock!

My time as an intern at Kinetix was the most valuable, rewarding experience I’ve had during my time as a college student. Working along side some amazing Physical Therapist not only provided a wealth of knowledge but proved a mentoring that taught me valuable lessons in professionalism and clinical application. My clinical instructor Scott and his student Physical Therapists Jake, Emily, Breanne, and Logan made every day working with patients a fun learning experience. I recommend Kinetix to any student or person looking to challenge themselves and who have the passion to pursue a career in physical therapy or any other professional endeavor.

After completing my undergraduate internship for the University of Florida here at Kinetix I can honestly say that the experience proved to be more beneficial than I ever imagined. I began as a volunteer in the summer of 2017 and completed my full-time internship during the summer of this year, 2018. During this time I had the opportunity to grow as a student, taking my knowledge and experience that I learned in the class room and apply it to a real world setting while working one on one with a variety of patients. Everything about Kinetix is top tier from the front office staff to the therapists who are all extremely good at what they do, making the experience for new interns and volunteers that much easier. The therapists constantly provided me with knowledge of the field of physical therapy during both my volunteering and my internship. Every time I had a question about something they always proved to be very helpful and insightful. I cannot say enough good things about my experience.

Kinetix believes in its students and utilizes their skills on a daily basis. A student can learn by observing but I find that the best way to learn is by teaching and doing. Here, students are given the opportunity to show their knowledge on anatomy and other topics in physical therapy. This allows the student to see where their strengths and weaknesses lie so they can be more prepared for their careers and have an advantage on those just starting PT school. Just as important, students can connect with the patient and make it an enjoyable experience for them so their personable skills also improve. I have loved my experience here with the patients and staff!

I am truly thankful to Kinetix Physical Therapy for providing the opportunity to intern! This experience has for sure helped me in versing myself on body movement and building up my confidence in being able to work with a patient. I believe my time at Kinetix will help me be competitive if not stand out from my peers at physical therapy school.

I am a 3rd year DPT student from D’Youville college in Buffalo NY and I had the pleasure of spending my last clinical experience with Kinetix Physical Therapy. It was an amazing experience that I am happy I was able to have. All of the staff are amazing and very welcoming and everyone is so willing to teach and help. It was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had and I would recommend this site to anyone and everyone!

I interned at Kinetix for my final rotation during my doctor of physical therapy program at UF. Kinetix is very geared towards education, both for the patients and the interns. Sharing of information on the most recent evidence is encouraged, with presentations and manual therapy skill practice occurring weekly. The constant implementation of evidence-based techniques and hands on care has an incredibly positive effect on patient outcomes and perception of care. The skilled and affable staff here made this an extremely valuable and enjoyable experience.

I completed my undergraduate APK internship at Kinetix Physical Therapy and it was a great experience. I was able to apply the knowledge that I had gained over the past 4 years to a clinical setting. As an intern, we had the opportunity to work hands on with patients which allowed me to create meaningful relationships with them, making the internship more rewarding as I could watch them positively progress. The staff at Kinetix constantly challenged us to think and I felt that I was continually learning throughout the semester, even though I was no longer in the classroom. I feel ready to work in this field knowing that I have a great foundation and background because of this internship. Thanks to all the staff at Kinetix for making this experience so great!

After volunteering and interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy for 9 months and a total of 1100 hours, I can honestly say that the time spent there has been invaluable. Kinetix and it’s incredible staff has taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Interns are treated as team members and are given responsibilities that help you gain hands-on experience in the clinic while always under the supervision of a Physical Therapist. The physical therapists are passionate towards the patients and dedicated to passing their knowledge and love of Physical Therapy to the volunteers and interns. Educating and learning while volunteering was always a high priority. Working with patients and taking part in their rehabilitation journey was truly rewarding. After Kinetix, I felt confident in my abilities and excited about my future in pursuing a doctorate in Physical Therapy.

This was my final clinical rotation as a graduate student for Florida Au0026M University Doctorate of Physical Therapy program and I can say the eight weeks that I have spent at Kinetix have been absolutely amazing!!! Every staff member at Kinetix goes above and beyond to provide quality care to their patients and makes sure that every patient is satisfied with their experience. This was the perfect environment for me to flourish and expand my skills as a practicing student clinician. Tony, my clinical instructor, provided me with the tools and guidance that I needed to excel at Kinetix Physical Therapy. The entire staff welcomed me with open arms and made me part of the Kinetix team during my eight week internship. Kinetix Physical Therapy provided me an opportunity to explore and learn areas of the physical therapy “world” that I was not able to experience with my previous internships. I was able to gain valuable experience, that I can add to my resume, by treating patients with TMJ disorders and vestibular dysfunction. I was also able to treat patients with various musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries or pathologies and fine tune my manual therapy and examination/evaluation skills. This internship was more than ideal for me as it challenged me to be my best and further my development towards a future physical therapist. Lastly, I would like to give a big shout out to Tony, Scott, Wayne, Eric, Jason, James, Breanna, Reba, and Tiffany for the great laughs and fun time we had together. An overall rewarding and fulfilling experience.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to intern at Kinetix. Throughout the semester, I learned something new every day and had a great time developing personal relationships with our patients and staff. All the PTs were always open and able to answer any questions the interns had, while challenging us to learn more on our own. Being able to watch patients progress and walk away pain-free has made me so excited to enter the field of physical therapy. As I prepare to start Physical Therapy school, I know that my hands-on experience at Kinetix has prepared me to succeed as a student and future PT. I could not have asked for a better way to finish up my undergraduate education!

I completed my Applied Physiology and Kinesiology internship here at Kinetix Physical Therapy during my last semester at UF. Being an intern at Kinetix was an amazing experience. It was a great transition from college to the “real world.” I have gained a holistic view of the human body and of medicine. I aspire to become a Physician Assistant, and with the skills I have learned here at Kinetix, I know I will be a better healthcare provider. I have learned that rehabilitation is a wonderful alternative to medication in some cases. I will be forever thankful for the people I have met and the experiences I have had here at Kinetix.

Interning at Kinetix has been a wonderful, hands on experience. The staff and physical therapists were always available to answer questions and explain the anatomy behind exercises. The confidence that they projected allowed me to become confident in guiding patients through exercises and to answer patient questions. They taught me how to administer infrared light, ultrasound, and E-STIM. It was great being able to build relationships with patients just like the physical therapists do. Additionally, being able to guide patients through exercises from their evaluations through graduations always left me knowing that I had made a difference in their quality of life.

My time at Kinetix Physical Therapy has been very productive. The staff are all very friendly and a family atmosphere is the foundation of the clinic. I feel as though this internship has been a wonderful opportunity to put into practice all that I’ve learned thus far in my undergraduate degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology. Additionally I believe that this internship has prepared me quite well for physical therapy school in the fall. This was definitely not an easy experience however as all of us interns had to learn how to multi-task in what can at times be a high stress environment. From my additional experience I believe this is widely true of private practice outpatient physical therapy. I was privileged to see progression in patients and inspired to one day be the best PT I could be. My two clinical instructors, Beth and Eric, did an exceptional job at talking with me about the reasons why they prescribed treatment to patients, and investing in me as a person. Thank you Kinetix for a strong end to my undergraduate education.

As an undergraduate intern at Kinetix, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge gained over the last four years in class to a clinical setting. Working hands on with patients has allowed me to gain personal and meaningful relationships, which made seeing their day to day progress that much more rewarding. The staff at Kinetix was extremely helpful in making it a smooth transition from volunteer to full time intern, and they always took time to answer questions.

Interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy has been a rewarding and valuable experience. The physical therapists, volunteers and other interns work hard to develop friendly relationships and establish a great environment for learning. During this time, I have been able to further develop my professionalism skills and my ability to multitask. My time in the clinic was also an opportunity to apply my undergraduate education from UF to my clinical experience. I will take the knowledge and experience I gained this semester to graduate school in the Fall. Joy was my CI during this internship; she taught me about pelvic health as well as the orthopedic side of the clinic. She is a friendly, skilled physical therapist who is accommodating and knowledgeable in her teaching. Overall, my internship experience was challenging, rewarding and an integral piece of my further clinical development.

Interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. The staff, therapists, interns and volunteers are all friendly and personable, making for a comfortable working environment. Everyone works well as a team to ensure the best treatment available for patients. I was presented with several different learning opportunities and had the opportunity to hone in on my examination/evaluation, manual therapy, and pelvic health skill set. All of the physical therapists were open to providing advice and guidance along my path here and I improved my clinical skill set thanks to their assistance. I would highly recommend interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy, it was a very rewarding experience.

I am just finishing up my last internship for the University of Florida Doctorate of Physical Therapy program here at Kinetix. Tony and his crew go above and beyond to provide quality care for their patients. The atmosphere here is great and the entire staff is exceptionally personable and friendly. I highly recommend this clinic and would definitely seek treatment here if I were in need of physical therapy.

I did a volunteer internship at Kinetix with Dr. Melissa Cere. I am so grateful for the opportunity that you gave me. I am just finishing up my first internship here in Brazil and everything went so well for me. I was so much more prepared than I could have imagined. You and your team taught me so many important things while I was there and I can’t thank you enough. I miss every second of my time in the United States and I hope I can go back soon!

I could not be in the position I am today without your help and for that, I am forever grateful to you and the Kinetix Physical Therapy family. The knowledge and skills I gained during my senior internship, proved invaluable during several interviews where it was the highlight of our conversation and further, my clinical resume. On more than one occasion this past year, my EMT professors and medical school interviewers would agree that my background knowledge allowed me to stand out amongst my peers. I do not believe I would have received this experience at any other clinic and thus, I am indebted for the opportunity to intern at Kinetix.

My name is Manali Patel. I am a current first year PT student, and Kinetix Physical Therapy was a large stepping-stone in my process of entering physical therapy school. I started off volunteering, and after a few short months I knew that this clinic was where I wanted to do my full-time internship. The physical therapists at Kinetix are so kind and driven to help the students learn. I had a lot of hands-on experience, as well as one on one time with the patients while directing them through exercises. As an intern, I was continuously learning, so I had a lot of questions. All the therapists were willing to sit down and answer my questions and even show me techniques and hints they learned in school. Spending a full day at Kinetix never felt like work, but rather a chance to learn about the field I wanted to go into. My experience at Kinetix was much more than I expected from an internship. I was able to take initiative with patients’ exercises and I felt like I was truly contributing their progression. The patients were always welcoming and friendly to the student-interns, so it made the process easier. They appreciated the personal connection I made with them, and it showed them I truly cared about their physical health.

Thank you for such a great opportunity. I have learned more in the past 3 months than I ever thought possible. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the wonderful Kinetix staff and family. I will miss all of you so much! Thanks again!

Dear Kinetix Staff, I wanted to thank all of you for making my internship experience the very best I could have hoped for. I learned so much from each and every one of you. Tony and Melissa, thank you for creating such a learning oriented environment. Tony, I’d like to thank you for taking me under your wing and teaching me everything from the joint mobilizations you use on patients to what it’s like to run your own clinic and everything in between. Joey, thank you so much for your thorough explanations to my questions and for some of the valuable information I know I will not learn in PT school. Katrina, thank you for being superwoman in the front office and printing my 8 copies of everything. From you, I learned the behind the scenes operations of a PT clinic. Susan, thank you for taking the time to show me how to do various front office tasks. This will greatly help me with my future employment at Kinetix. Jen, thank you for taking the time to fully answer each and every one of my questions. I have had the distinct pleasure of watching you grow as a physical therapist and I know you will be great. I would also like to thank Matt for his clear and concise teaching. He always made sure I knew the answer to a question when asked by someone else. I look forward to working with all of you and thank you again.

As an Applied Physiology and Kinesiology intern at Kinetix in the Spring of 2011, I worked hands on with patients every day. I was positive that this internship would be insanely overwhelming, as my only prior clinical experience consisted of mere observation; however, I was happy to find that the staff at Kinetix made my transition to their routine extremely seamless. The PTs are always helpful, and I never felt silly asking a question. As an intern, I was able to sit in on evaluations, progress exercise programming accordingly, and monitor patients as they completed their exercise protocols. I learned more about anatomy and biomechanics in four months at Kinetix than I did in four years of college. Working together with another intern taught me a lot about being part of a team, and how to best work together to accomplish goals. I learned valuable lessons from my patients, not just in terms of clinical information, but also in life. It was an amazing opportunity to work with so many different types of patients. I could not have imagined a better internship to have. Thanks, Kinetix!

Interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy provided me with an invaluable experience and a wealth of knowledge in the field of physical therapy and health care in general. Before this internship, I was on the fence about pursuing a career in PT, but Kinetix has really helped to clarify my decision. I am now currently on the path to PT school and have the confidence to do well in my future endeavors thanks to Tony, Melissa and the rest of the Kinetix staff. Being able to work and interact directly with patients of all different ages on a regular basis has really helped build my communication skills and further helped develop my professional demeanor. Tony and the rest of the PT’s are a great resource of information and are always open to any questions, concerns and feedback. Kinetix really does a great job in getting the student involved, showing them the in’s and out’s of working and running a physical therapy clinic, and just getting them prepared for any future career in a professional healthcare setting that he or she plans on pursuing.

As an Applied Physiology and Kinesiology intern at Kinetix Physical Therapy, I had the opportunity to see and work with a wide variety of patients with many different reasons for seeking physical therapy. I was able to practice with the physical therapists and volunteers to improve in my clinical skills, and gain more confidence and a hands-on understanding beyond what I learned in the classroom. One thing that I really enjoyed was the abililty to see the same patients several times a week, and to build a relationship with them as I worked as part of the Kinetix team to help patients to reach their wellness goals. Kinetix emphasizes staying current with the latest research, so I know that I will be more prepared for graduate school and a career in the medical field. All of the physical therapists were positive role models of professionalism and outstanding bedside manner with patients. It was interesting to see how each Physical Therapist might have a different style, but all demonstrated outstanding care and progress with their patients. I also appreciated receiving a lot of positive feedback and encouragement, as well as constructive criticism. Overall, I learned a lot and appreciated how everyone at Kinetix Physical Therapy demonstrated that they cared about me personally. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their help!

Interning at Kinetix Physical Therapy was one of the most valuable learning experiences outside the classrooms at UF. I developed skills that weren’t necessarily taught from a textbook such as patient interaction, professionalism, multitasking between jobs, and even developed a stronger work ethic. Tony Cere, DPT facilitated my learning experience by further explaining questions I had with a strong basis of why and how something was done. Overall, my experience at Kinetix Physical Therapy has greatly prepared me for physical therapy school. Tony Cere, DPT and the rest of the staff at Kinetix Physical Therapy were very gracious and helpful for allowing me to intern with their company. I am grateful for my internship experience at Kinetix Physical Therapy. I have been able to apply the skills I have obtained at Kinetix to my clinical encounters during medical school – including, but not limited to, bedside manners, continuity of care, and the utilization of evidenced based practice. Tony and Melissa are a wealth of knowledge and were always ready to teach.
