Liberto, Lake Worth

1.) What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

My business offers Class 4 Laser Therapy, Therapeutic Massage and Exercise Movement as Medicine. Liberto Therapy is exclusive as no other office offers all three healing modalities in the same location at the same time. Feel Better, Move Better, Perform Better Now and as you age!

2.) What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

I became interested in the possibilities of these therapies after a head-on car collision and, a month later, an airplane crash left me with many physical challenges. After years of trial, error and schooling, using my own body as a laboratory, I found what worked to get me moving without pain. Knowing that there are many people (you may know of some) who suffer pain and inabilities from accidents and injuries of all kinds, I couldn’t keep this knowledge to myself. Believe me, I felt it was my responsibility to share these therapies and help as many injured people as I could.

3.) What do you love most about your job?

The look of both disbelief and wonder on people’s faces when they feel that they can move in a way that was previously difficult or impossible with less pain in a short period of time always makes my day!

4.) What is the best reaction you’ve ever gotten from a customer?

A Church Reverend had injured her hand to such a degree that doctors told her she would have to live having the limitations of a Claw Hand. She was afraid that she would never be able to use her hand again for the rest of her life. After receiving the specialized treatment at Liberto Therapy, she is able, without pain, to feed and dress herself! Now, every Sunday morning before her Church Service, she greets people-by shaking their hands- for the first time in 10 years.
