Our Team
Founder/Physical Therapy
Hello I’m Jason, a physical therapist with more than 21 years of experience in various roles including clinician, educator, and rehabilitation administrator. I began my career in New York City, where I gained extensive knowledge from leading national universities and healthcare institutions specializing in rehabilitation care. I’m proud to be among the top 1% of Physical Therapists with a board exam score exceeding 98%. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with highly competitive and esteemed healthcare organizations such as New York University’s Langone Health and VNS Health where I contributed to the development of programs like aquatic therapy and integrated sports gym rehabilitation.
I’ve also traveled along the East Coast training other physical therapists in Vestibular therapy and managed innovative rehabilitation programs across 40 healthcare facilities in various states. My journey led me to Florida, initially to establish nursing homes for a national healthcare company, and I decided to stay.However, I observed a troubling trend in many Florida healthcare facilities prioritizing billing over quality care, treating patients as commodities, and engaging in practices aimed at maximizing profit rather than promoting genuine healthcare.
Motivated by these concerns, I established Florida’s first-ever walk-in multi-specialty rehabilitation clinic in Sarasota, with a commitment to the fastest patient recovery rate regardless of financial constraints. At the Shoreline Clinic, we prioritize quality care without resorting to typical industry practices like upselling and gimmicks. Additionally, we extend our services by offering free clinics on Sundays, catering to various support groups and marginalized populations. We provide complementary consultations and utilize the most advanced and top-of-the-line equipment in the market, ensuring prompt services aimed at revolutionizing healthcare and promoting wellness. Join us in our mission to inspire change and elevate healthcare standards!

Lydia Barnes
Lydia Barnes, a dedicated PT Technician, originally hails from upstate New York and embarked on a journey to Florida a year ago, driven by her aspiration to pursue a degree in physical therapy. Presently enrolled at Hillsborough Community College, Lydia is gearing up for her future plans to join USF.
Lydia's ardor for physical therapy was sparked by a knee injury she sustained five years ago. This personal experience led her down the path of recovery, which involved several years of physical therapy and ultimately a Medial Patellofemoral Ligament reconstruction surgery. Her remarkable rebound, bolstered by extensive rehabilitation, was made possible through the guidance of a compassionate physical therapist. Inspired by this transformative process, Lydia made the decision to channel her energy into a career in physical therapy. Almost immediately after being discharged, she embraced the role of a technician.
With over two years of experience under her belt, Lydia has diligently collaborated with therapists, aiding in the recovery of individuals facing diverse injuries and surgeries. Her immersion in the field has not only enriched her professional journey but also translated into her personal growth, evident in her dedication to regular workouts.
