NELSON AVILES
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
I’ve been practicing Physical Therapy for 28 years. I received my Masters in 1998 and followed up with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St Augustine in 2017. I focus my treatment on restoring function and performance by emphasizing manual therapy and Pilates based exercises in my approach to rehabilitation.
I truly enjoy and am passionate about helping people recover from injuries in order to function and to feel their best. In my off time I am a basketball player, surfer and travel enthusiast who would prefer to be at a beach than anywhere else.
