I went back to Dr. Botero a couple of months ago with a shoulder problem after a fall...FOOSH, fall on outstretched hand...a medical term, he told me. He knew exactly what had to be done and gave me exercises to do at home to strengthen my shoulder which have been really helping.
I had been to Dr. Botero a couple of years ago because of a automobile accident. He was wonderful. Very professional; very thorough, and works with you in such a way that it is hard to explain. The epitome of excellance combined with understanding and empathy for all his clients.
I was truly blessed to have found him. I would go to no one else.

Left better than I came in with just one session.Best Physical therapist In south Florida and I will be sending anyone who needs a physical therapist, here!

I highly recommend Dr. Botero for any physical therapy needs. I came to him after months of low back and hip pain that was diagnosed as a possible hip labral tear. With in one assessment he was able to identify this was not the issue and that my pain in my hip was referred from a disc in my back. His knowledge and expertise is apparent in the way he accessed and wrote programs for me to follow week by week. After just a few weeks of the exercises he wrote up I noticed a decrease in pain. I am so grateful someone had recommended that I go to him for my PT.

Hugo is great! As a competitive athlete, I constantly have problems with my body and Hugo is really able to isolate the problem and show specific exercises to strengthen it! I have seen a big difference in my game because of the problems solved!

Hugo is the best! He’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and a wonderful person. My pain level and range of motion have improved so much. He’s detail-oriented, has well-rounded treatment options, and addresses all of my concerns no matter how small. I’ve had a total of 5 surgeries on 3 joints (ankle, knee, and shoulder) in the last 10 years and I’ve often felt like there’s no hope in returning to “myself”. He instills so much confidence in me! I’m a professional performer as well as a trainer, and I won’t work with just anyone. I highly recommend him!

Hugo is the best in the business!!! I compete in both CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting and train hard 7 days a week. Hugo has been a huge part of keeping my body healthy and functioning at 100%. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He walks you through everything he does and never does any unnecessary work. He truly cares about helping people and his work reflects that! I highly recommend him to everyone in the south Florida area.

I have been working with Hugo for the past couple of months and I can honestly say he is truly exceptional at what he does. I came to Hugo after I was In a car accident and was dealing with neck, shoulder, and back pain. After just a couple of months I have seen significant changes to my injuries already

Before I met Hugo I saw a hand full of other physical therapis who were trying to figure out the how to treat my injuries. It felt like all of them were just guessing on how to treat me and eventually I got frustrated with not seeing results and stopped going to them. I highly recommend seeing Hugo for any type of injuries you may have. I know when I work with Hugo I'm getting the right type of treatment that I need to feel better.

I’m a coach at next level strength & movement, I’m also a physical therapist tech in another clinic and can unbiasedly say Hugo is 2nd to none. Having the pleasure of working with Hugo on a daily basis has elevated me as an a professional in to many ways to list. Hugo’s cerebral approach and preparation sets him apart, just a few examples of many reasons why I would not let anyone else treat me or any of my clients. Please don’t take my word for it because it would simply be unfair to him to try and describe or place value on his priceless worth. Come see for yourself 100 SW 15th St Ft Lauderdale fl, tell him Emeril sent you.

Been working out with Hugo for about 10 months now. Very knowledgeable, personable, and professional guy. He personally developed a unique program specific to my own goals, and also walked me through his exact reasoning. He pushed me to surpass my limits, while still relaxing the intensity of the program on days when I wasn’t at 100%. Was a pleasure training with him every time, can’t recommend enough.

Over ten months:
Lost 25 lbs
Gained plenty of strength in all major lifts.
Dramatic improvement in range of motion in problem areas for me (shoulders, ankles, hips).
Learned something new related to fitness/flexibility/recovery in every session.

I went to see Hugo after injuring my back working out on my own and several other different types of therapy didn’t work. Hugo met with me and we created a therapy plan to see if we could help with the back issues I had. After my second visit I began to feel extreme relief and movement. I will Admit my communication is not the best so for Hugo to ask questions the right way till he got the answers he needs was appreciated. His combination of hands on and workout technics truly helped me recover better than I expected. Thank you Hugo!

My insurance company referred me to Hugo for rehab on a broken leg and torn ligaments in my left ankle. He was AMAZING!! He is the most holistic therapist I've ever worked with. He helped me achieve a level of function above and beyond my expectations. I am forever grateful to him for his skill, thoroughness, dedication and commitment to his patients. He's constantly increasing his skills to better serve his patients.

Came in with a nagging shoulder injury, and with just a few sessions he had me back up and running.
Not like your typical physical therapist that just wants to drag the results to get more sessions out of you. He's straight to the point, and even gives you some take hope rehab work to do on your own, and speed up the recovery.
Very professional, and i recommend him very highly! 5 stars

In summary: thorough, knowledgeable, articulate, caring, patient courteous and responsible. The perfect package for a PT.

My experience: While I was only fortunate enough to enjoy two visits with Hugo, those visits with him made all the difference. I have seen a few PTs over the years for various injuries and the like but none were able to address this one particularly troublesome aliment in my right neck and shoulder, something recurring since childhood actually. Boom, two visits later and I was feeling better. Because of our timing constraints he performed some manual manipulation that was immediately better and longer lasting than I had ever experienced. He further gave me a short and long-term program to follow to directly address the issue. A few short weeks later, coupled with an strength & conditioning program and the nuisance was gone. Now about a year out form those visits I remain almost nuisance free.

I highly recommend Hugo. =

My experience with Dr. Hugo was nothing short of perfect. I had an acute hip injury that genuinely scared me. Not only did he reassure me, his knowledge base help us resolve the issue within one week. By far my best experience with any PT. If there was 6 stars I would give it. Hugo is the real deal 🙌

Hugo is the very BEST!! I had surgery (torn meniscus) two years ago and had experienced pain ever since. Other PTs always had me lunging and lifting weights and generally just caused me more pain. I've been with Hugo for about a month and my knee finally feels good again. Hugo took a different approach, focusing first on range of motion. Without full range of motion, I'm convinced that prior PTs did me a disservice. Hugo puts first things first -- and he takes a very hands-on approach to get there. Now that I have full range of motion, the everyday pain is gone-- and now I can start to get stronger. I'm convinced he can fix anything. Don't hesitate to use Hugo.

In January I went under the knife and had acl/meniscus reconstructive surgery. Before the procedure I found Hugo through NextLevel Instagram. I met with Hugo 2 days after surgery. Immediately I knew this would be different than previous physical therapists I have seen. Hugo caters his therapy per person, he is not handing out generic programs, but instead personalizing to suit our needs. As a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt that trains and competes often this is what I need! I'm currently 3 months out from surgery and I can perform almost all movements pain free, and most importantly I am back to teaching my students! If you are currently experiencing pain or just had a surgery Hugo is the man to bring you back stronger and better than before!

I’m a fitness enthusiast and relatively new powerlifter but have been lifting weights for over a decade before I made the switch to powerlifting. I went to see Dr. Hugo Botero for recurring low back strains ever since I started powerlifting, as well as this nagging tugging sensation on my spine that I’ve felt for the last month consistently. After being assessed by Hugo he immediately was able to spot that my pain wasn’t originating in my back at all and instead was being caused by a severe imbalance in my hips. For the last week I’ve been doing all of the rehab work he prescribed on my own and my pain is nearly gone. I will continue to upkeep the rehab work regardless if I have pain or not in order to “bulletproof” all the joints, tendons and ligaments in my body so I can continue to enjoy my weight lifting hobby for many years to come! Thank you, Hugo! Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Hugo as my personal trainer/physical therapist for about a year. When I started, I had limited strength and mobility in my lower back due to a previous injury. I now have full range of motion and have little to no limitations on activities or movements. The training program has been excellent and I have new found respect for kettle-bell workouts. Hugo keeps me motivated and challenged by constantly changing and evolving my training program. I highly recommend him!

I was referred to Dr. Botero by a friend after suffering an elbow injury during a heavy front squat. I had tearing pain any time I tried to lift weights or hang from a bar. He went through a very extensive & hands on assessment, and told me exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. After following his instructions for a few weeks, my pain had completely gone away and I am now injury free. I was amazed at how quickly he could fix an injury that I was worried about needing surgery on. I highly recommend Dr. Botero!

I injured my left knee snowboarding and was experiencing pain/discomfort when squatting. I had no idea what was wrong or how i could get better until I was recommended to see Hugo. Hugo sat down with my and ran me through multiple tests to find the problem. The diagnosis was a sprained MCL. He then prescribed exercises to rehabilitate my knee. It's been over a month and after following his recommended rehabilitation exercises, my knee is back to 100% and i'm squatting without any discomfort. Hugo is now my go to with sports related injuries....I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Hugo is genius! I was referred to him by a friend after doing extensive PT after a rotator cuff repair that was not yielding the results I was looking for. With his very "hands on" guided approach to my therapy, I was able to see improvement almost immediately. While rehabbing my shoulder, I developed knee pain from tennis that he also skillfully improved with a different approach than I have ever seen. I truly believe he is capable of fixing whatever injury he is presented with. Hugo is also an amazing trainer and can facilitate a return to your sport of choice while doing rehab.I highly recommend him!!!

Was referred to Hugo by a friend. I had a serious high ankle sprain I got in November and was having a lot of issues recovering. I came in for an evaluation and he showed me my issues and set up a plan to get me back in running shape. After various treatments from acupuncture to targeted exercises I am happy to say I am back to running without ankle pain. From his professionalism to how approachable he is I can not recommend Hugo and his services enough.

Being that ive always had an active lifestyle I've seen my fair share of related injuries. Dr. Botero is by far the best therapist I've seen to have me back up and moving!

I saw him post knee orthoscopy and within a very short amount of time i was seeing major improvement on my swelling, mobility, and strength. What i really liked about him is that he's alway up to date on major changes , trends, and research in physical therapy.

I highly reccomend him.

I was referred to see Dr. Butero by a friend in the fitness industry for an unknown shoulder pain. Hugo thoroughly assessed my pain points and guided me into the direction of recovery. After a few weeks of guided therapy and seeing him frequently I began to regain shoulder mobility and work towards strengthening it again. I’m now able to perform heavy lifting again in/out of the gym and can comfortably sleep again at night, and have also learned many stretching techniques that allow me to be at my best fitness level possible. Would recommend Dr. Butero to anyone looking for a knowledgeable physical therapy professional.

I first heard of Dr. Hugo through a referral of a friend. I went o go see him due to some pain in my neck and shoulder. I chose Dr. Hugo as my physical therapist because of my friends experience and his methodology in alleviating pain. I am still new to the therapy but I am excited to see what the future brings. I would most certainly recommend Dr.Hugo to anyone looking for a physical therapist.

I went to see Dr. Botero for discomfort I had in my hips and ankles after long runs. I’ve known Dr. Botero for some time now through school and knew he was the man for the job. We sat down and went over all my trouble areas, and after putting me through some tests, he worked up a daily routine that would improve my mobility throughout. After a few exercises I could pinpoint my trouble areas and now had the tools to fix them. I would highly recommend Dr. Botero for anyone in need of rehab treatment or training!

I first went to Dr.Botero when I had a car accident with a bad neck injury a year ago. After been through different Doctor’s care, this last time with Hugo changed my life. I am a Sports Massage Therapist so being in pain while at work was a big issue for me. Dr Hugo not only treated my most recent injury , however thought me the way to a pain free life. After a couple of months going to treatment 3 x a week I experienced full range of motion in basically all of my joints that were previously limited due to poor mobility. I have now realized the importance of biomechanics and body awareness in order to maintain my results. He is a very knowledgeable and honest therapist that will be 100% present and caring. IF YOU HAVE ANY OLD OR NEW INJURY THIS IS YOUR GUY TO SEE!

Thanks Dr Hugo !

I came to see Hugo when I was having some hip pain during weight training. I have known and respected Hugo as a professional since his B.S. Degree, and I saw him take his knowledge to the next level during his DPT. It was an obvious choice for me, he was someone whom I trusted, and respected, and when I was his patient he was very professional despite our friendship. Hugo can combine a wealth of practical knowledge, several years of college courses, and additional certifications into his treatment. From his first hand experience, Hugo understands what it means to be an athlete, and how to get you back to training and competing. After a few sessions (assessment, treatment plan, checkup) I’m back to training full force without issue. I have and will continue to recommend Hugo to anyone I meet that would benefit from his services.

I went to visit Dr Botero on the advice of my personal trainer after an arm injury. Dr Botero spent our first visit really assessing my situation and verifying that the arm was the true issue and not a result of some other injury. Hugo gave me a couple of exercises to do on my own after showing me how to complete them correctly. After just two visits I had the tools I needed to work out my injury. I am currently almost 100% again and in fact can actually lift more now than I could before. I found Dr Botero to be very thorough and would gladly recommend him for anyone needing Physical Therapy.

I came to see Dr. Botero for chronic wrist pain that escalated into being able to perform little movement without pain. I’ve never seen a physical therapist before. As a personal trainer and strength athlete, I’m very particular about my coaches and doctors. I wanted someone who had experience in strength sports and coaching/training, Dr. Botero fit the bill. I found him through an acquaintance at my place of work. After a thorough examination, Dr. Botero was able to tell me what was wrong with my wrist and taught me the steps I could take to fix the issue on my own. Within 2 weeks my wrist was 90% better and now I’m back to bench pressing and doing handstands with out pain. I recommend and will continue to recommend my clients and friends to Dr. Botero.
