Belle Glade, Pahokee and Clewiston

Why Glades patients choose video.

The Glades are sugar cane, farm work and small towns, about an hour from West Palm Beach. Video visits remove the drive. Farm workers and families with back pain, mothers after childbirth and older adults with leaking are seen one-on-one, by phone or laptop.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Florida: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
