Island Therapy Center is a successful physical therapist-owned independent practice, offering a professional, caring and motivating one-on-one atmosphere, for over 15 years. We offer a range of services including physical therapy, massage therapy personal training and Pilates sessions.
Our physical therapists each have many years of experience, additional certifications and doctorate-level education. We specialize in orthopedics, dizziness, balance, sports injuries, manual therapy, neurology, post-surgical rehabilitation, lymphedema, fall-prevention, and vestibular rehabilitation.
Our licensed massage therapists (consistently voted “Best of the Islands”) have a reputation for excellence on Sanibel Island, and are especially skilled in massage for muscle pain or injury, with lymphatic massage for swelling or post-procedure (i.e. liposuction).
Personal training is available at our Sanibel location with our certified instructor and can include Pilates. Need to improve your health, but have medical or mobility issues keeping you from a gym? Our medically-based fitness program offers a customized personal training regimen to meet your goals in a safe environment. Want to improve your flexibility and range of motion? Assisted stretching sessions are available. Interested in enhancing your bone and muscle strength? Book a session with our skilled trainer.

Vision
Island Therapy Center was founded in 2009, by Sanibel resident Rachel Tritaik, PT, CLT, LMT, with the goal of providing quality healthcare services to residents, visitors and workers on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. With over 25 years experience as a licensed physical therapist, she understands the need for customized therapy treatments and complementary therapies that enhance health and wellbeing.
Innovation
Rachel envisioned a different approach from the traditional physical therapy clinic. In other clinics, patient’s times overlap, and non-therapists conduct most of the “treatment”. We believe in quality over quantity, resulting in happier patients and therapists!
Mission
Our mission is to help you with three “R’s”: reduce pain, restore mobility and return to your active lifestyle. Enjoy our beautiful islands and feel well on Sanibel.
WHY CHOOSE ISLAND THERAPY CENTER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY?
You will be evaluated and treated by the SAME therapist each visit, schedule permitting, for the entirety of your visit (no treatment by aides or assistants). This ensures consistent care and faster recovery. You deserve your experienced therapist’s undivided attention, therefore we ONLY schedule one-on-one sessions. For this reason, we suggest you book ahead for appointments to ensure your preferred times. We have limited clinic space, and our appointment slots fill VERY quickly for the peak months of January, February and March.
You ALWAYS have a choice in where you receive your Sanibel physical therapy services. Some physician offices may not be aware of our clinic, or prefer to refer to clinics in their own system, despite inconvenience for the patient. We accept referrals from all physicians and health systems and will stay in close communication with your doctor.
We offer a CHOICE between insurance-based billing or a flat-rate fee based on therapist time. This takes the guess-work out of estimating the cost, especially if you have a high-deductible, are out-of-network or do not carry insurance.
