After having ACL surgery, I was worried my knee would never feel 100% again. But from my very first appointment with Danny, I knew I was in good hands. He was patient, kind, encouraging, and helped me to stretch my physical capabilities in ways I never thought possible. Not only does he have great bedside manner, but he’s also extremely knowledgeable about physical therapy and sports training protocols. This helped to establish trust, and in turn, made it easier for me to follow his lead. Anyone who’s ever gone through a significant surgery (ACL or otherwise) knows how scary and uncertain the road to healing can be. Thanks to Danny, I not only survived it, but thrived through it. I highly recommend working with him!

I’m a professional hockey player. I went to see Hugo because I had an ACL reconstruction and knew from our years working together prior that he was my best chance at getting back to 100%. I went to him at about 4 months post op. When I went to see him I still had a ton of knee pain, jumping, jogging and really any type of movement was still uncomfortable and range of motion and hypertension were a constant issue. I was in a hurry to get healthy for the upcoming season so I was on a timeline. Hugo, as always had the answers. With a combination of manual therapy, dry needling, a lot of table work, and the right progressions workout wise, was able to get me back to game action for the start of the year. I’ve worked with Hugo for about 7 years and can confidently say he is one of the very very best at what he does.

I came in for a severe IT issue and dry needling! I left there knowing MORE about my body that I have ever learned; strengths, weaknesses. Power UP Performance has set me on a path beyond healing...thank you Dr. Hugo! :)

Mark is the best! I have so many issues going on. I’ve been in PT periodically for years. He is addressing all kinds of injuries and built up issues and imbalances. I felt better within 3 visits! He is a joy to work with as a person and so freaking brilliant as a PT. Highest praises and recommendation.

Finding this gem after having great shoulder pain (rotator cuff/frozen shoulder) was truly a blessing. Nobody gets excited about physical therapy but Hugo and his team (Melinda) help with every step. They care greatly about your wellness and listen to your physical health needs. If you need physical therapy, Power Up is a wonderful small business in our community here in St. John’s/St. Augustine/Jacksonville, Florida.

Dr Hugo is the best PT I have ever worked with (and I've worked with a lot over the years). I found him initially searching for a TPI golf accredited therapist, but we've done a lot more than just golf related work. He's helped with knee arthritis (no more sleeve, minimal need for Aleve), shoulders, neck, mobility, balance, strength... you name it. Great guy, easy and fun to work with. If you need help with anything, he's your guy.

The best. So effective and also so kind and understanding. Don't wait for things to get better on their own (or, more likely, get worse.) I'm delighted that I found this crew!

I am a 1-2 time a week golfer and was struggling with some right low back pain during and after golf. I searched for a TPI certified therapist in the area, which is how I met Dr. Hugo. During the first visit he performed a thorough evaluation explaining all of his findings and what was causing my low back pain. He also treated me and showed me some exercises to address my limitations during the first visit. I signed up for a 6 visit plan of care and within those 6 visits I was completely out of pain and back to playing golf. He provided me with an extensive home exercise program with progressions to keep the pain from coming back. He would constantly check in with me to make sure the exercises were going well at home and was always available for questions via text message. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hugo to anyone in pain and seeking physical therapy.

Hugo has helped me more then the last 3 PTs I've seen and in faster more effective ways. Highly recommend him. Don't wait get going now.

On the first visit with Hugo he was able to pinpoint some nerve issues that were giving me pain and resolved them immediately. It’s clear he aims to be a leader in the field and always looking to improve and expand his knowledge. Look forward to continuing working together.

I met Hugo just after a devastating knee injury from grappling. I started working with him immediately after surgery, which included acl reconstruction, lateral meniscus shave and medial meniscus repair. I met with Hugo 2-3x a week and I was diligent to do the work he gave me at home. I returned to baseline strength at an astonishing pace and then went beyond that. Hugo has a keen eye for his patients and knows exactly how to treat them. No human is the same, no surgery is the same and certainly no recovery is. Hugo is well aware. After I returned to the mats, 4 months post op, I continued to have Hugo as a strength and conditioning coach. To this day I use a lot of the exercises and protocols he taught me. I’m forever grateful for everything he’s done.

Milissa is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job in helping me relieve my pain and training me how to focus on my core so that other issues could be resolved.

Dr. Botero is the best PT anyone could ask for…extremely individualized treatment, one on one attention. He treats the underlying issues, not just presenting symptom. He cares greatly about every patient and goes above and beyond with treatment. As an athlete for most of my life (being in and out of physical therapy), Hugo is the first PT that has helped me tremendously in recovery AND prevention of further injury. Worth the hour drive! You will leave stronger and more knowledgeable (about your own body), than before injury.

Hugo is the best out there, he will never stop until he finds the solution to your problem.

I cannot thank Hugo enough!!! He helped me come back from a pretty big and debilitating hip injury.He listened to where/ how I was having pain, watched me move, watched old videos and then made a plan of action. From there he helped me fix my movement patterns AND then to build everything back up. He helped me create my warm up routine and daily maintenance so I can stay pain and injury free.I am so grateful for his approach and for always taking the time to help from start to finish.

As a strength and conditioning coach I can personally attest to what an unbelievable resource Hugo is for both Physical Therapy and S&C. Unfortunately, many PTs professional development stops after PT school; however, this has not been the case for Hugo! Hugo is extremely forward leaning in his approach to patients, rooting his modalities with strong evidence and the most up to date practices and techniques. Hugo has brought me back from serious injuries as well as help me maintain a high level of fitness despite multiple smaller set backs. My life has been all around better for having Hugo in my corner.

Hugo is the best physical therapist! He was very helpful with treating all my injuries when I was a USA Judo athlete. Because of him I was able to train every day of the week and compete consistently!

2023-02-08T15:13:08.596Z

I'm a PT myself and Hugo is who I trust with my own care and who I refer pro athletes to. Great clinician with a truly elite combo of Physical Therapy and performance knowledge.

2023-02-08T05:42:23.225Z

I have worked with a few therapists over the years. There is no one like Dr. Botero. I have had back and hip problems and Dr. Botero was the best at relieving my pain. He is the ONLY therapist I would reccomend to my friends. He is an extraordinary healer.

2023-02-07T15:40:38.633Z

I hurt my back and had pain that bothered me for months and thanks to Hugo’s exercises and experience, my back has been great ever since. He really cares for his patients!
