Daniel Francis

My name is Daniel Francis, and I was born and raised right here in Port St. Lucie. I am currently attending Indian River State College, and I major in Education. I also really enjoy writing and would like to write a novel at some point in the future. In my free time I like to go bowling or ride my dirt bike. While school is out for the summer I spend my time chaperoning elementary school field trips.

My name is Chad Zervas, I am originally from Sussex County, New Jersey. I moved down to Florida about 3 years ago, and have loved it ever since. I am a certified personal trainer, with a love of how the human body works. I have a true passion for sports as well, having played football, basketball and baseball. I have been through physical therapy myself and have seen great improvement. I look forward to returning the favor by helping you through your physical issues.

Michelle Chimelis

My name is Michelle Chimelis, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. 

I have been working with Dr. Sukie at Nau Physical Therapy and Wellness for close to 5 years.  What I love most about our office is we are all one family.  We care a lot about each other. As an office, we have an amazing clientele of patients, many of them who we have befriended through the years.

When I’m not working at the office, I am home cooking. I truly enjoy creating different dishes for my family and Sukie.
