"When I first saw Nicole I was unable to move my arm and in a lot of pain. I had surgery for a broken humerus and a rod and screws were put in to help the bone stabilize. She started with nothing and now I'm able to do things I never thought would be possible again. Thank you Nicole for everything!!! "

"Austin is a great physical therapist. He listens with a caring heart and explains why certain exercises are necessary and helpful for my recovery. Lisa, the office manager is wonderful with scheduling and calls me if they can fit me in because someone cancels. I would highly recommend Stars in World Golf Village for your physical therapy needs."

"I have worked with Ryan at both the South location and the new WGV location for numerous shoulder issues for the past few years. He is a consummate professional - always going above and beyond what is expected. My exercises and stretches are always fully explained in the gym setting and also paper instructions are provided to reflect on later if needed. I will miss Ryan if we ever run out of body parts to fix:) I have added my wife and some neighbors to his list of clients knowing full well that he will offer the same professionalism and pleasing personality to their physical therapy experience."

"My name is Neill McKay and live in World Golf Village close to the Stars Rehab clinic. I began rehab for balance issues with Ryan Beaton in June, 2023 which then progressed to a knee replacement and lower back and hip issues. Ryan did a very good job in addressing all of these issues during June-August time frame. I am about back to my old self walking and exercising freely. Ryan is one of the best, if not the best, PT individuals in the area and I’m glad I met him. He is very knowledgeable in many ares of the human anatomy and which exercise/stretching routines will address areas of pain for relief which you can carry with you in the future. All in all, I’m very happy with the treatment he provided at Stars Rehab and recommend him and the facility highly!"

"Ryan Beaton worked with me for 5 months. I adore him. He made coming for PT a pleasure. It was very clear to me from the start Ryan was super smart and loved his job. He is kind, compassionate, patient, and has a sweet sense of humor! My situation was tough and it was easy to get discouraged. Ryan was my cheerleader always positive. I listened to him with other patients as I waited my turn. Ryan was so tender and warm with the elderly. I was a little sad my PT was over because I don't have my visits with Ryan. Without Ryan I don't think I would have made as much progress as I have. STARS is so fortunate to have him on their team!"

"As a transplant from Los Angeles, I've had my share of therapists for my degenerating discs. Landing in Florida 4 years ago, I tried a couple of other therapist organizations here with no success (cookie cutter approach). After breaking my left arm 5 days before my spinal fusion surgery, I met Ryan Beaton who was the kindest, most knowledgeable therapist I've ever met. He not only worked with me to recover the mobility and strength in my arm but was also cognizant of my upcoming spinal fusion surgery. After my spine surgery, he helped me to regain strength and mobility for my back along with continuing on the remaining arm therapy. He happily answers any question regarding exercise, life issues or whatever can promote your recovery. He has put me on the proper path to continue my daily improvement for both arm and back. I cannot say enough about this compassionate and talented man."

"The newly opened Stars Rehab at World Golf Village is great facility, with Lisa at the front desk to keep everything on track. Most important for me, is that I have been seeing Ryan, one of the best Therapists I've ever worked with to keep me stronger and pain free. He is both through and thoughtful and has managed to put together programs for me that are challenging and yet successful. Ryan get's it done and never needlessly extends treatment. I highly recommend both Ryan and Stars."

"STARS Rehab put me fully on the road to recovery following two spinal fractures. Eric Stanton was the most knowledgeable physical therapist I have encountered. He fully explained every step of the rehab process and listened to all my comments and concerns on a regular basis. My months there rebuilt both my strength and confidence. Eric also provided me with clear guidelines to continue my workouts after my PT sessions ended. The owner and the rest of the staff were also a pleasure to interact with. Five stars for STARS!"

"STARS is the most incredible PT practice I have ever experienced. The owner David and my therapist Sarah are caring, compassionate, dedicated, motivated, experienced, educated, certified, professionals. STARS specializes in neurological diseases as well as traditional PT. They are specially trained and have worked to set up unique and targeted programs to try to achieve the best possible outcome for each individual. They are a blessing to this community!"

"Nicole was my PT and she was great! Helped me with me back pain and taught me exercises to stretch out my back and work on my core. Also taught me proper body mechanics with picking up stuff and doing patient care."

"Austin is an absolute professional in every sense. His knowledge and effectiveness were the reason our PT sessions were successful. I couldn’t have asked for a better PT partner. He catered to my schedule and met me every time with a smile and enthusiasm. Thank you, Austin! And thank you, STARS, for teaming us up. I am now set up with the knowledge and tools for a lifetime of pain-free mobility."

"I’m currently undergoing physiotherapy for early Parkinson’s. When I commenced, just over a month ago, I would rate my state of health at around 7/10. Dizziness, fatigue and some physical disabilities. The work of Mr Hebbler and Ms Grams has elevated me to a level of over 9/10 within a very short space of time. Not quite back to normal but very close. They do push me hard but not too far from my comfort level. It has been effective and very satisfying. A very worthwhile experience."

"Staff is amazingly empathetic and at the same time, have the knowledge of their craft and the tenacity to push you to strive for the best results in your return to normal Great team! Highly recommend them for whatever ails you!"

"Courtney was wonderful, she helped me regain most of the mobility back in my shoulder. If I ever need more PT I’m coming back!"
Nov 02, 2022
"I walked into PT skeptical but meeting Brianna & working with her over the past several weeks was really amazing! With her instruction, my shoulder pain is gone & I couldn't be happier. She was very personable and caring and because of her, I actually looked forward to my appointments. "

"After a car accident resulting in severe lower back pain, I thought I had tried everything to heal. Radio frequency ablation, electric shock therapy, massage therapy, chiropractor, etc. with no improvement. Then, I came across this wonderful team of professionals and they changed my life! I had the pleasure of being treated by Brianna and Sabrina. Their professional and positive outlook helped me heal to 100%, which I had feared would be impossible. I am now back to ALL of my regular activities with no more back pain. I cannot recommend their services enough. Thank you all!!"

"Ryan was amazing, learning my problem and giving me the right excercises and information to solve it. "
Aug 11, 2022
"Absolutely fabulous staff, Austin was right on point with giving me relief which included massage and exercises. Best of all was the dry needling administered by Rea, I got amazing results immediately after each session. It's only slightly uncomfortable overall, there are a few intense moments but with deep breathing I was relaxed. I would highly recommend this mode of therapy if it is appropriate for your injury. You will get expert treatment and attention at STARS!"

"After suffering the worst injury of my life, I found the best physical therapy group and therapists in my life. I fractured my ankle so badly that I required hospitalization and surgery. After an initial period for healing, I began therapy at Stars to strengthen my ankle and return to walking. I entered Stars in a wheel chair and, after about 7 weeks of twice-weekly therapy, walked out without aid. Miraculous! Were it not for Therapist Pat M (and Rachel and Andrew, as fill-ins) I believe I would still be limited. Patrick listened to my concerns, worked at treating multiple problems created by the injury and taught me how to take charge of my total recovery. There were never any negative feedback or discouraging comments. Instead, Pat listened to my list of limitations and taught me how to exercise and work on areas that were injured. Everyone at Stars goes above and beyond in helping patients, one -on-one. I can’t thank Pat and everyone enough."

"I continue to have the best experience with Andrew Schreiner, PT, DPT, and OCS at S.T.A.R.S in St. Augustine. He is by far the best physical therapist I have had therapy with. I had no previous understanding of what “OCS” meant as far as physical therapy goes. An “OCS” is an orthopedic clinical specialist who diagnoses and treats people whose health problems limit their ability to move and function. Getting an OCS certification in physical therapy says the therapist is an orthopedic clinical specialist, with an exceptional level of training and expertise. Andrew certainly has an exceptional level of training and expertise. His manual therapy and mobilizations are exactly what has been helping me get better. After seeing other therapist and doctors for over six years I was getting very little relief. After a consultation and evaluation with Andrew, he was able to go straight to the problem area and make it better on the very first visit. I felt improvement each week until there was no longer pain or discomfort in that area. Andrew was also able to look into another problem area that had been causing me extreme discomfort for over seven years and make it stop. I am extremely impressed! Not everyone will actually need an “OCS” therapist. S.T.A.R.S has so many therapist that specialize in customizing a treatment plan based on your medical needs after the initial consultation and evaluation. For me the “OCS is best. This is an exceptional group of professionals with a friendly and experienced staff. Thanks again, Andrew. Don Clyde Tarvin "

"Several years ago, I had an unpleasant experience with physical therapy and never agreed to go to therapy again when it was suggested. In February when the Dr. recommended physical therapy for tendonitis in my right foot, I agreed to try it, and am so thankful I did. STARS Rehab was the best. The facility is clean, Covid protocol was followed, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. My physical therapist, Michael H. was the greatest. He was kind, understanding, reassuring, professional, made me feel comfortable and my care was excellent! I will highly recommend S.T.A.R.S. and Michael to anyone I know needing therapy. If I ever need physical therapy again, I will return to S.T.A.R.S. Rehab. Thank you so much Michael H. and staff at S.T.A.R.S. "

"I had the pleasure of having Austin as my PT. I excelled in my recovery of a shoulder issue due to his efforts. He always looked for ways that i could take the exercise program and apply it at my home since i was visiting St. Augustine for the months of Jan and Feb. His encouragement was always extended that allowed me to progress in an excellent environment. In addition he held me accountable to perform all the necessary exercises that improved my shoulder. His dedication to the time i was there showed how interested he was in my recovery - that matter so much to me. Lastly, yes i benefitted from his expertise and his encouragement but i must admit i also consider him a friend. That makes the difference between just going somewhere for PT or going somewhere because i want to be there - i want to get better. Thank you Austin for your professional and caring attitude. I have missed our appointments since traveling back. Take care. John"

"I have used S.T.A.R.S. therapists a number of times over the past 9 years. There simply is NO BETTER rehab service. You get one-on-one attention and a caring and knowledgeable staff. Trust me, I've been to others. I've had 6 back surgeries and balance problems and shoulder surgery. "

"I just completed 6 weeks of therapy with S.T.A.R.S. Physical and Occupational Therapy and feel so much better now than I did six weeks ago. They have very good therapists and great office staff. I credit my success to Thomas Olesko, PT. DPT. for being such a good professional therapist. I always felt better going out of S.T.A.R.S. than I did going in. My back was so knotted up and hard as a rock. Thomas knew how to go in and break it up and get things moving again. He was actually able to manipulate parts of my spine that my chiropractors had not been able to manipulate in years. This was a big help. He is very informative about the importance of doing the stretch exercises he recommends that help stabilize your back. He does not rush you, he makes sure you understand what he is telling you so you do it right. S.T.A.R.S. is a great place in St. Augustine to go for physical rehabilitation and Thomas would be the best therapist to work with you. Thank you, Thomas, you did a great job. "

"Libby was God-sent. She is professional, compassionate, and listens to your concerns. I am proud to say that I now sit properly, bend my knees, bend to pick up things, and enter my car one foot first instead of having to back in. "
Sep 08, 2021
"Thanks to Carissa Lane and Lee Richards for their professional physical therapy. I had total knee replacement surgery and these two did a great job working with me to regain my strength and full use of my knee. I highly recommend S.T.A.R.S. to anyone in need of physical therapy. Great staff!"

"I have been a patient of Stars for almost two years. Working with the staff has been life-changing for me having Parkinson's Disease. The staff, especially Anna, has created a program for me that has been a major part of my goal to maintain a normal life. So far it has worked. Anna drives me to be the best I can be! Deborah is working with me to help me maintain my ability to speak. Paul is our boxing manager once a week. As you can see, this disease requires a tremendous amount of work and sweat, but it is worth it. I totally believe in the people and goals of S.T.A.R.S. I highly recommend them to you. It's worth a try. "

"My physical therapist Ryan Beaton gives me activities that require physical and mental exertion which helps me to manage my pain level better. His teaching techniques are designed to increase and maintain fitness by therapeutic training strengthening exercises, walking, massage and confidence to aid circulation and relax the muscles. My PT relieves tension and pain am always feeling much better after each session. Ryan has a gift of healing power pertaining to therapeutic therapy. He is truly professional, a people person and team player. "

"Rhiannon Gluhosky conducted a thorough PT evaluation and established a highly personalized intervention program for me that is designed to address my back muscle aches and joint pains. Her knowledge and expertise in providing manual hands-on therapy is proving very beneficial. I truly appreciate her friendly attitude and attentiveness to my needs. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to be treated by several physical therapists and I believe Rhiannon is a 5 Star therapist."

"I am a completely satisfied patient/client of Dr. Brianna Bean. She is smart, resourceful, talented and a highly skilled professional. Plus, she is a wonderful person and a joy to know. The world needs more people like her. "

"I have had physical therapy over the last 21 years at two other facilities; however, never did I have a therapist who stayed with me for the full 45 minutes as Carissa Lane did. (I was shown what to do by the therapist who then moved on to another patient and sometimes even to a third patient.) All the staff at S.T.A.R.S. were so kind and welcoming and made me feel as though they truly cared about my progress. Clarissa was so patient with me and explained what we would be working on, always encouraging me with each week's progress. The location on the Island is great - keeps us from having to travel "over the bridge." Thanks for the service you give to those of us on the Island!"

"Dr. Libby Bergman is an outstanding therapist who successfully treated my multiple foot symptoms, finally getting to the root cause of the problem. She is a very good listener and extremely patient, something one doesn't find in health care providers these days. She applied manual therapy and guided me through gradually returning to exercise, even kindly responding to text questions and checking in with me. I recommend her most enthusiastically! She's great!"
Jun 23, 2021
"I just love the physical therapy at S.T.A.R.S. This is my first time going to any physical therapist, and I was scared because I heard a lot of bad things about other places. But this place is the best. My physical therapist (Ryan) is the best and put his heart into his work. I just love the one-to-one treatment. He is a keeper. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family. God Bless!"

"In actuality, 5 stars is not enough. From the preliminary visits to being dismissed 10 weeks later, the experience was unbelievably exceptional. The welcome and goodbye were like old friends gathered to solve a problem, assist, and encourage. My surgery was extremely difficult with a total knee replacement and reconstruction of bones and tendons from the previous 5 surgeries over a 40 year period. The physical therapy was pegged to be difficult and limiting movement compared to other knee replacement surgeries. Lee Richards met me for the first time and I was all in on his professionalism, knowledge, coaching, and patience. Lee discussed this difficult case directly with my doctor and worked in tandem to maximize the rehabilitation while safeguarding the repair. He outlined and prescribed exercises between sessions that were accurate for every stage of recovery. Lee never pushed the therapy beyond what the knee and body could effectively and safely execute. The doctors were amazed at each visit at how well the knee had rehabilitated and the success was far beyond their expectations. Lee's guidance and attention to every detail made this happen. What a great team that I have and Lee is very much a leading member of my team. Without reservation, I highly recommend S.T.A.R.S. and Lee Richards. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to S.T.A.R.S. and foremost, thank you, Lee! "

"I found the S.T.A.R.S. facility to be exceptional, from the friendly and helpful front desk personnel to the courteous therapists. I had Carissa Lane as my therapist following my total knee replacement in January 2021. She was terrific. She provided challenging and varied exercises, was motivating and honest about outcomes, and approached each workout with optimism. Her professionalism and attention to detail were appreciated. And, the home workouts she designed for me were game-changers. Her ongoing encouragement was valued at a time when pain, healing, and outcomes were often questioned. She understands that her patients are fragile and vulnerable. As a result of her care, I am thrilled with my recovery after 9 weeks of working with her. "
Apr 02, 2021
"I have been using your facility for 3 months due to a total knee replacement surgery I had in November, 2020. Bree was my therapist and she is wonderful. She always asked how I was doing and tailored my sessions based on my progress. She also explained things well. The other people at the facility are professional and courtesy too, especially at the front desk. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone needing therapy. "

"I'm here to take my aunt Cheryl for her therapy. She broke her arm. I sat in the parking lot to wait for her to have therapy with her dog Buffy. I was walking buffy around the lot and realized one of the patients leaving fell in the parking lot I assume trying to get to her car to go home. I rushed over to help but I also had the dog on a leash with me. Being a home health care provider myself I wanted to snap into action but with the dog was kinda hard. I'm so happy and proud of This team who saw and ran out to help. They called her down and got her up. I really felt warm in the heart that they were so quick to react even when the client was in the parking lot! Sorry, I tried to help but you guys had it completely under control. The young ladies talked to her to relax her and got her up into the car! This is what kindness is all about! My aunt Cheryl is here for her therapy and I am just waiting for her. GREAT JOB CREW! Good to see people that take action quickly and are so kind. I highly recommend this group for therapy. "

"I was referred to S.T.A.R.S. for sciatica pain I'd been dealing with for 3 weeks. I was unable to sleep due to the pain and walking for any length of time was difficult. After my first appointment with Lee, I felt immediate relief. After about 3 appointments, I was finally able to sleep at night. I am so grateful for his expertise! Lee never "assumed" ...he asked questions, listened to my responses and description of my changing symptoms and adjusted therapy accordingly. By the end of my 3rd week in therapy, I felt 97% back to normal. Everyone I met in S.T.A.R.S. was professional, friendly and helpful. "
Dec 30, 2020
"I must say I am so impressed with S.T.A.R.S. rehab. All the way from the front desk to the therapists. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I am constantly encouraged and motivated throughout the treatment sessions. I do have to give a shout-out to Ryan! He is so kind and caring with his patients and his brute strength is refreshing. I will go here anytime for any orthopedic injury I suffer. Five stars thank you all! "
Dec 10, 2020
"I have been to S.T.A.R.S. Rehab three times, and I can say that every time I have been treated with respect, excellence, and kindness. From the front office to the last appointment, every therapist I have seen has been highly skilled and concerned with my particular issue. I felt that rather than being just one of their many patients..... It was almost like I was the only one.... Very good office for physical therapy. Highly satisfied with their services."

"I'm currently being treated by Paige Schreiner for a Labral tear. I sought her out after having been treated by her in the past after hip and knee replacement. She is amazing! She is patient, understanding and highly knowledgeable. Paige goes out of her way to insure that I understand all aspects of my treatment, what my limitations are, home exercises as well as my prognosis and rehab timeline. I would recommend her to anyone for anything! "

"Professional, thoughtful, respectful, encouraging, friendly, focused on my wellness - all come to mind when I think of David Lomaglio and everyone else I've come to know at S.T.A.R.S.! Absolutely the best I have ever had help me with an injury!!!"

What Others Are Saying

Had pain from my neck to the tips of my fingers on my left side. My wife who is a P.T. recommended STARS and I must say she did her homework! I found STARS to be a welcoming and professional group and Thomas my D.P.T. corrected my medical issue! I have ZERO pain and full range of motion in my neck and arm. I highly recommend S.T.A.R.S. with five (5) stars!

Thanks to Anna Juzwiak, I have a whole new feeling and respect for rehab facilities. Not only is she professional and personable but she also has incredible knowledge of the human body. I learned so much while she was helping me with my knee issues. Not only was she realistic about what to expect - she sent me off with exercises we know will continue to help my condition. I highly recommend this lady and St Augustine Rehab!

I highly recommend Stars Rehab. The entire staff is welcoming. Hyacinth was my therapist. She helped me in so many ways. I can walk so much better now, thanks to her. Hyacinth was knowledgeable, personable and caring. Thank You S.T.A.R.S.!

Pain radiating down my leg had been diagnosed as coming from my back. Because I didn't want to have surgery, the neurologist wrote a script for physical therapy. I asked around for references and a friend highly recommended David Lomaglio. Following my first visit evaluation, David said he didn't think the pain was coming from my back, but from my hip. He suggested that I get an X-ray of my hip. I did so, and it showed bone-on-bone and bone spurs. I am now 10 weeks post anterior hip replacement surgery (Dr. Redmond at Southeast Orthopedics was my orthopedist and I can't say enough good things about him). I was released from the hospital the same day and was walking up a flight of stairs the following day. Two days later I began PT at S.T.A.R.S. David not only has worked with me during recovery but he has also been encouraging -- and that's a big part of his care. He also is great about checking in on how the exercises are working. Aside note: I'm a bit OCD, and the facilities are kept clean to my standards. I highly recommend David and his staff -- they get gold stars!

Testimonial *STARS is a perfect name for your facility. Everyone, from the professional front office personnel to the clinicians is a star to me. I have spent the majority of my treatment with Prerna and Holly. They make you feel as though you are their only client. They listen, and they are always looking for ways and devices to improve your therapy, everyone step along the way. They are more than wonderful each time I visit and brought me to a much better place with their kindness. You really pick up on all the good vibes that everyone at STARS creates. What a special place you have. I would recommend you to anyone I know who may be in need of your services.

My pain was so severe when I first came here that I felt I would wind up needing surgery or even needing a wheelchair. I am amazed and so very happy to say I am now pain-free.
