PT, DPT
After graduating from the University of Florida, Dr. Jake Berman, PT, DPT sought out mentorship first from Bob Seton in Destin, FL and then from Aaron Robles in Jacksonville, FL. Both of these mentors have 20+ years of experience helping people keep active and mobile so they can enjoy high quality active lifestyles. What Jake found was that back pain was by far the most debilitating pain and the highest factor leading to decreased physical activity later in life
These experiences are what inspired Jake to specialize in helping people aged 50+ keep active, mobile and pain free despite the aging process. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to alleviate somebody’s back pain so that they can get back to living their best life- especially in Naples! Over the years of helping 100’s of people aged 65-75 become stronger and pain free, one thing for sure has become apparent: “he who rests rots”.
Jake is a firm believer that we become stiff then old, not old then stiff. Seriously, think about it...

Jenni, owner of Berman Health and Wellness, works alongside Berman Physical Therapy to help individuals get back in shape, to stay active, and to stay feeling young so they can stay in the game! She is a Physician Assistant by training, but her primary focus is Wellness, Nutrition, and Exercise. She is a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutritional Specialist. When she is not working with patients or with clients, you can find Jenni on the boat, in the sun, enjoying time with her husband, Jake, spending time in Jacksonville with her family, or playing with her [CUTE!] pups!!
Office Manager aka Office Mom
Amber is a second generation Naples native!
When she isn't hard at work on the next big Berman PT project, you can find Amber relaxing at home with her kids, riding the trails with her husband, Jimmy, in their Jeep or playing with the new puppy, Asia.
Physical Therapist, Bike Fitter, Husband and Father.
He recently left Brazil for North American lands.
When he is not bringing people back to life at Berman PT you can find him having fun with his family.
Yeti Berman is Berman PT's resident therapy dog.
An American Bulldog named after the Yeti cooler company, Yeti was born in September 2017 and adopted right after that year's Thanksgiving.
His favorite thing to do is greet patients, but he also likes to go on walks—he's an avid stick collector. He is an excellent swimmer and really loves going to the dog park! You can find him in his private suite (AKA Dr. Berman's office!), where he is usually hard at work napping and playing with toys.
