About Body Forté

We didn't build this
to be a clinic. We built it
to change lives.

Body Forté was born from a belief — not a business plan. A belief that people in Jamaica deserved access to the highest level of physical therapy service and experience. Not a rushed appointment. Not a cookie-cutter exercise sheet. Not a passive treatment that made the pain quieter without ever making it stop.

16+ Years · Kingston

Our Origin

From the very beginning, the standard was clear: every single client would be seen by a Physical Therapist. Every session would be one-on-one with our on-time guarantee. Every treatment plan would be built around the root cause — not the symptom. And every person who walked through our doors would leave knowing more about their body than when they arrived.

That standard hasn't changed. It's only grown stronger.

For over 16 years, Body Forté has quietly become Kingston's most trusted name in physiotherapy and clinical Pilates — not through advertising, but through results. Through the friend who told the colleague. The surgeon who trusted us with their patient. The client who came for pain relief and stayed for the Pilates class that changed the way they move through life.

We didn't grow by compromise. We grew because the standard speaks for itself.

26+ Years Experience

The Founder

Behind every clinician here —
there is a standard that was set first.

Dr. Summer Lopez founded Body Forté with a vision that was larger than a single practice. She envisioned a team — a family — where clinical excellence was the minimum expectation, not the exception. Where each therapist was mentored, developed, and held to a standard that reflected something she cared about deeply: the human being in front of you always comes first.

When you work with any member of the Body Forté team, you are working with someone who has been shaped by that vision. The attention you receive. The explanation you are given. The genuine interest your therapist takes in your outcome — these are not accidents. They are the result of a culture that was carefully, intentionally built.

"The standard I hold myself to is the standard I've passed on to every clinician here. That's not by accident — it's by design."

Our Commitments

Our promises to you —
every session, every time.

These are not marketing points. They are standards we hold ourselves to — publicly, and without exception.

One Therapist. One Client. Always.

From the moment you arrive, your physiotherapist's attention belongs entirely to you. There are no double bookings, no technicians managing your care, no distractions. The expertise in the room is fully at your service — because we believe that's what real healing requires.

We Find the Root Cause.

Pain is a message. Our job is to translate it. Rather than quieting the symptom, we spend the time to understand what is creating it — your movement patterns, your history, your life. Because a solution that doesn't address the origin isn't a solution. It's just a delay.

We Explain. We Educate. We Empower.

One of the most powerful things you can receive from a Body Forté session is understanding. When you know why your body hurts, when you understand the mechanics of your own pain, you stop being afraid of it. That knowledge is part of your treatment — and it belongs to you long after you leave our studio.

Your Time Is Respected.

We operate on time. If your therapist is more than 10 minutes late, your next session is on us. We hold ourselves to that standard because we hold your time in the same regard as your health.

Jamaica's Original Pilates-Based Rehabilitation Clinic.

We have been here for over 16 years — long before Pilates became a trend. Our clinical Pilates practice was never about fitness. It was, and always will be, where movement meets medicine and long-term health. This is not something we added on. It is our foundation.

Who We Serve

We were built for you —
whoever you are.

The Ache That Won't Quit

Middle-aged aches, chronic tension, stiffness that's been building for years — you want answers, not just relief.

The Surgery Survivor

You came through a joint replacement, spinal surgery, or soft tissue repair. Now you need a rehabilitation partner who takes your recovery as seriously as your surgeon took your operation.

The Proactive Mover

You're not in crisis — you're being smart. You want to move well, age well, and never find yourself sidelined by something that could have been prevented.

The Practitioners

Every person here was
chosen with intention.

Our team is small by design. Each clinician is a trained physiotherapist and certified Pilates instructor — selected not only for their credentials, but for their character. Their warmth. Their commitment to doing this work the right way.
