About Us
At WellCare Rehabilitation, we offer the highest quality of physical therapy care. Our dedicated team is led by Michael Kenton, MSPT, who has over 25 years of experience in physical therapy, sports injury rehabilitation, orthopedics, and neurology. We design personalized treatment plans tailored to the needs of our patients in order for them to reach their goals. The process typically begins with a physical therapist’s referral followed by an in-depth evaluation. A detailed plan of care is then developed which is reviewed and discussed with the referring physician. Physical therapy is a safe and healthy way to provide pain relief. Many of our patients who participate in our treatments are able to find long-lasting relief without the need for harmful drugs, such as opioids, or unnecessary surgeries.
Our treatment plans are aimed toward the achievement of each patient’s goals, taking into account their symptoms, medical history, and any health restrictions they may have. We look forward to watching each and every one of our patients achieve their goals.
Our physical therapists are looking forward to working with you on your way to a pain-free, active life. We offer our services to the following areas which include (yet, not limited to): Aventura, Dania, Hollywood Beach, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, and Sunny Isles, FL.

Physical therapy is not meant to hurt, but to relieve pain. However, as you restore your mobility, pain levels, at times can fluctuate.

Good communication with your therapist will help minimize any discomfort. We want you on your way to quick pain relief and back to normal activities.
