Meet Jonathan

Hey everyone! My name is Jonathan Frakes and I am a board-licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and owner of Resurgence Physical Therapy. I earned my Bachelor of Sciences from the University of Central Florida (GO KNIGHTS!) and went on to achieve my doctorate from the University of Saint Augustine. I have worked in a variety of settings that range from intensive spinal cord injury rehabilitation, sports medicine, acute care, and outpatient orthopedics. I have truly enjoyed them all but the biggest thing missing across the spectrum of physical therapy is providing ethical and evidence-based care. I found myself becoming increasingly passionate about making this a reality which is why I started Resurgence. I enjoy getting to know my patients on a personal level to ensure their care plan is truly salient to their individual needs. As a weightlifter, strength coach, former wrestler, and father I understand how big of an impact injuries and set backs can have on a person. There is no doubt in my mind that patient empowerment is the key to long-term success and I truly believe that showing people how resilient they can be is the most rewarding thing about being a physical therapist.
