Perry, Madison and the Big Bend
Why Big Bend patients choose video.
The Big Bend is timber, scalloping and some of the least crowded coastline in Florida, about an hour from Tallahassee. Since the 2023 and 2024 hurricanes, many coastal families are still rebuilding, and video visits bring care to wherever home is right now, for back pain, leaking, postpartum recovery and recovery after surgery.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Florida: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
