The Problem
But you know you're not. You finished PT. You were cleared. And yet you still hesitate before you move, still can't do what you used to, still wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again. Whether you're an athlete trying to get back to your sport or an active adult trying to get back to your life — you are not imagining it. You are caught in a gap the medical system doesn't talk about.
Insurance ends on a schedule — not when your body is ready. You were sent home with no plan for what comes next.
Too advanced for the clinic. Not confident enough to push on your own. Nobody is addressing the gap.
Every ache makes you second-guess yourself. Without expert guidance, one wrong move can set you back months.
Your surgery, your scar tissue, your life. No YouTube video accounts for any of that.
You moved without thinking. You competed. You lived fully. That version of you isn't gone — but getting back takes more than rest and time.
Physical therapy-directed. Performance-focused. Completely individualized. Built for this moment — the one nobody else is addressing.
"Just because you're discharged from PT doesn't mean you're done. It means the real work is about to begin."— Dr. Benjamin Portnoy, DPT · Doctor of Physical Therapy · Miami, Florida
Conditions We Work With
Baseline Sports Medicine works with post-surgical and post-injury clients across a wide range of orthopedic conditions. All programs are directed by Dr. Benjamin Portnoy, DPT.

About Dr. Portnoy
I've spent years treating patients in clinical settings — athletes trying to get back to their sport, and active adults trying to get back to their life. What I see consistently is people finishing PT still unable to do what they love. The system discharges them when their insurance runs out, not when they're ready.
Baseline Sports Medicine exists to change that. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a sports medicine focus, I work with a small, select group of motivated clients who deserve more than a generic plan.
No heat packs. No ultrasound. Measurable, progressive, individualized physical therapy toward goals that actually matter to you.

Client Results
Athletes getting back to their sport. Active adults getting back to their life. These are the people who refused to accept "cleared" as the finish line.
"I had ACL surgery 11 months ago and was told I was good to go. But I couldn't even jog without fear. Dr. Portnoy built me a physical therapy program that actually made sense — eight weeks later I was back on the field."
"After my knee replacement I thought my active days were behind me. Dr. Benjamin showed me they weren't. Six months later I'm walking three miles a day and back on the golf course."
"I had my hip replaced and finished PT feeling like I'd only gotten halfway there. Dr. Benjamin Portnoy was the first person who actually had a plan to get me the rest of the way. I'm hiking again."
"I ruptured my Achilles playing basketball. A year later I still couldn't jump. Dr. Portnoy was the only person who treated me like an athlete trying to get back — not just a patient to be managed."
"My surgeon cleared me. My PT discharged me. But I still couldn't do what I loved. I found Baseline Sports Medicine and it genuinely changed everything. Dr. Benjamin actually listens, actually adjusts, and actually gets results. I'm back — fully back."
"I was skeptical about remote physical therapy. But the weekly check-ins with Dr. Portnoy, DPT were more valuable than anything I got in a clinic. He catches things nobody else caught."
"After my rotator cuff surgery nobody told me how to actually get back to throwing. PT ended and I was lost. Dr. Benjamin was the first person who had a real plan — and it worked."
"I tore my hamstring sprinting and it never felt right after PT. The program Dr. Benjamin Portnoy, DPT built me was completely different — specific, progressive, and it actually worked."
"The weekly Zoom calls alone were worth every penny. Having Dr. Portnoy in my corner — a Doctor of Physical Therapy who actually knows what they're looking at — gave me confidence I hadn't felt since before my injury."
