Kingston's original Pilates-based rehab clinic · 16+ years · 4.9 Stars on Google
You've been dealing with this pain, sitting out of your sport or modifying your life for longer than you should have to. Maybe you've tried other things. Maybe you've been given advice that didn't quite stick, or a treatment that helped temporarily and then wore off.
Maybe you've been told to "rest," "take pills," or "just stretch more." Maybe your scans aren't that bad but you're still in pain — without anyone ever explaining why it keeps coming back.
You're not imagining it. And you're not broken. You just haven't had someone sit down with you, really look at what's going on, and give you the truth about your body. That's exactly what we do.
At Body Forté, our team was built around a single standard — the standard set by our founder, Dr. Summer Lopez, Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 26 years of experience. Every clinician has been trained, mentored, and developed under that same philosophy: that excellence in care is non-negotiable, that every client deserves a real explanation, and that shortcuts in treatment only delay the healing that's possible.
"Presence, attention, and expertise are part of the treatment."
We're not just a studio. We're Jamaica's original Pilates-based Physiotherapy clinic — and for over 16 years, we've been quietly transforming lives, one session at a time.
Our StoryOne phone call or click. One therapist, fully prepared and fully present for you.
We don't just treat what hurts. We find out why — and we explain it to you in plain language.
Leave with a real plan, real understanding, and a body you trust to carry you through life.
One therapist. One client. The full picture — every visit.
Pilates as rehabilitation, taught by those who understand how the body moves.
Because the most remarkable thing your body will ever do deserves the most attentive care it will ever receive.
We'll be with you through every stage of your recovery journey.
Invest in your team's health before injury costs you more.
Many therapists suggest group classes as an adjunct to therapy — to maintain your gains and keep exploring what your body can achieve.

"After trying 3 other treatment plans for my neck injury with no success, in as little as 5 sessions Summer had me pain free! The entire team and facilities exceeded my expectations. I've since started the Pilates class — love those reformer tables!"
