Carlos A Castillo
My name is Carlos A Castillo; I grew up as the smaller of two brothers in the west side of Cuba. When I was growing up, I would watch every soccer game on TV, before going outside and toss the soccer ball around. I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve always love to help people that needed my assistance, reason why when I came to America in 2013, I decided to join the healthcare field following the steps of my wife. Once I decided for Physical Therapy, I worked as a PT aide for two years while I was getting my degree. Now, I have the opportunity to apply all my knowledge to my patients, and help them with no less than one hundred percent of love and professionalism. I want patients to look and me and say “thanks to you, I am now feeling better”.

I play guitar, I love Marvel movies, and I get to be part of something amazing: helping people get better. I chose physical therapy because I’ve seen the impact it has on people’s lives. My own grandma went from an injured knee back to hardening thanks to the hard work put in through Physical Therapy. I wanted to be part of that life changing process and help others. I’m new in the field but I’ve learned so much and I want to use that knowledge to help people get back to feeling great and living their best life.

What our patients say about us?
I have been coming here for over 2 months and have been extremely satisfied with their personal service and attention to each patient that comes through their door. I have tried different therapists in the past and have been really disappointed. This place is extremely clean, everyone is very polite and PROFESSIONAL! I feel much better than when I started. It is hard to find a place that really cares about you as a patient. I will refer all my friends to SOS PHYSIO.
Andrea Carolina Perez
My wife had a frozen shoulder and was directed to SOS Physio by her primary care doctor. She made remarkable progress under their care. Wonderful people and a great facility. We highly recommend SOS to anyone needing physical therapy.
Robert Lama
I was in a bad automobile accident last January being hit from behind in a highway multi car accident. I sustained tears in my right knee meniscus. My doctor recommended conservative treatment first before having surgery. He referred me to SOS Physio for physical therapy for my treatment.
Matvey Gorzhevsky is an outstanding professional experienced therapist. He is genuinely concerned with his patients care and recovery. I witnessed this with my treatment and as well as other patients in his care. After many months under his care I’m able to function almost as well as before my accident. My Orthopedic doc was pleased how my rehabilitation progressed and how SOS Physio keep him updated with after visit reports of my condition.
His staff of professionals, Jackie the facilities manager and Carla another physical therapist working there are the Best!I have previously needed rehabilitation physical therapy for other injuries using other therapist. They can’t hold a candle to the level of care at SOS Physio provides in my opinion!
BUDDY T
I have been suffering for very long time from constant general overall pain due to osteoarthrosis, 2 hip replacements and shortness of breath for years. My doctor suggested physiotherapy to alleviate pain and correct posture. After an extensive evaluation at SOS Physio, I started a customized care and treatment through interactive sessions. As a result, I have been improving so much and so quickly that I said goodbye to pain killers in no time. Mat and his team are constantly caring and taking the time to listen to my needs to alleviate my discomfort. I wholeheartedly recommend them. They are the best hands down!!!!
Michele Valensi
SOS PHYSIO is great! The facility is pristine and equipped with brand new top quality equipment. There is lots of parking space available. The Physical Therapist is very professional, experienced and more important of all: extremely willing to help. Mat is thorough and compassionate and will not give up until he is able to help the patient. The front desk lady is very nice and friendly. It is wonderful to have such needed services in Aventura. I recommend them without hesitation ! ! !
