Services
Physical Therapy
Our outpatient orthopedic physical therapy programs specialize in treating athletes and active individuals. We focus on restoring function after injuries through evidence-based techniques. Our therapists help patients return to high-level activities using personalized treatment plans.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
This advanced technique uses specialized tools to treat soft tissue restrictions. Our clinicians have completed continuing education to master instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. It effectively addresses chronic pain and mobility limitations from muscle adhesions.
Return to Sport Conditioning
Our program bridges the gap between rehabilitation and full athletic participation. Certified specialists design sport-specific drills to rebuild strength, agility, and confidence. We ensure safe transitions back to competitive activities with reduced re-injury risk.
Custom Orthotics
We create personalized orthotic devices to correct biomechanical issues in the feet and lower extremities. These custom solutions improve alignment, reduce pain, and enhance athletic performance through properly supported foot mechanics.
Self Pay Programs
Our flexible self-pay options provide care without insurance limitations. Patients receive direct access to physical therapy services with transparent pricing. These programs suit individuals with high deductibles or those preferring private treatment arrangements.

Dr. Yarchin has relentless enthusiasm for her craft, and I have benefited greatly from working with her in physical therapy. I seemed to be headed down the road of injections and possible surgery, but after three months of rehab with Dr. Yarchin and her team, I feel (mostly) like my old active self. Dr. Yarchin's approach of building a strong foundation via core muscle training has worked wonders for me. It's not a quick fix, but it's certainly an effective one. I highly recommend Dr. Yarchin and SST Rehab.

I started going to SST Rehab following an ACL reconstruction in 2017 and I could not be happier with having Dr. Lenni Jo by my side during the process. Not only did she help me get back to the sport I love (making me even stronger than before the injury), but she also helped me discover my passion for physical therapy! Fast forward 5 years from my time in physical therapy to the present day where I am now an undergraduate student observing the ins and outs of the profession in hopes of following Dr. Lenni Jos footsteps! Her passion for what she does is so contagious and I could not recommend

This is the third rehab facility that I have received services from in the Lake Mary-Sanford area. This one is by far the best. The staff is most professional and friendly. They showed a great level of commitment and compassion to help with my recovery after my back surgery. I highly recommend it!

My doctor recommended I go to SST Rehab for a bad case of planter fasciitis. I am so glad he sent me there. Ive been to other physical therapy places in the past, and I have to say SST Rehab is the best! Dr. Lenni Jo Yarchin is fantastic. She put together a very comprehensive plan for me that included strength training, stretching and deep tissue massage. Both Lenni Jo and Kyle are very qualified, knowledgable and caring physical therapists. Sessions are upbeat and tailored to each individual situation. Thank you so much for being so passionate about your craft and getting me back on my feet

Highly Recommend SST Rehab!! I have seen this Team of Professionals for a couple of lingering issues I had in the past, and they have helped me to resolve them each time. Their desire to effectively work with doctors, understand my issues, and then prescribe what is needed to help me fully recover is the best I have seen. They truly care about me having my ailments resolved so that I don't have to continue seeing them. I probably won't be seeing them for a while unless I get hurt again because they were so effective at helping me rehab! Can't recommend them highly enough (Lenni Jo and Kyle in

After repair of miniscus and ACL I was referred to SST by my orthopedic and they exceeded my expectations. The team at SST helped me to get back to my day to day activities quickly, they worked with me when I developed a back pain and guided me through when It seemed like I didnt make any progress. I recommend SST team especially for any athletes and anyone who was active in sports. Big thank you Kyle and LJ!!!

My daughter completely tore her ACL in December and had to have surgery. We came to SST rehab for her physical therapy and I cannot sing their praises highly enough. From the first time she hobbled in on crutches to her hitting all her goals and exceeding our expectations, they have been there. Her main physical therapist, Kyle, is the absolute best. He was there to push her, encourage her, cheer her on, and celebrate her successes. He has an ability to help his patients overcome their fears, push harder than they thought they could, and accomplish their goals without boredom or monotony. Saying
