Helped quickly resolve back and shoulder pain that was interfering with my work and leisure. 2 visits, some exercises and a game plan and I am pain free months later. Insurance didn’t cover, but it was well worth the cost!
She is extremely thorough and very experienced. She got to my muscle weakness within 15 minutes.
Lucky I found her!
Enjoyed meeting Dr Laura Haughie. She took my case and i will be forever grateful. Dr. Laura is a true professional. I had an accident in January. I had vertigo so bad i could not drive. After 5 weeks of treatments, Dr. Laura gave me my life back.
I would recommend her wholeheartly.

I was introduced to Dr. Laura J, Haughie, a physical therapist in Deerfield Beach, because I was suffering from a nerve pressing on the L5 joint of my lower back, spondylosis and osteoporosis. Dr. Laura helped to improve my balance, strength, and mobility while reducing my pain. Dr Laura’s assistant Amber, made sure I did my exercises correctly. Dr. Laura asked questions to determine the right treatment to improve my balance, range of motion and reduced my pain. She has extensive knowledge, experience and judgment for a successful recovery.
My goal was to improve my balance, strength, mobility while reducing my pain Laura improved my overall fitness, health and quality of life within a few weeks. With their guidance I was confident that the treatments would improve my strength and balance and decrease my pain. I felt that the treatments improved my condition with each visit. They had compassion and a positive bedside manner.
I am grateful for her professional experience, guidance and treatments to regain a better quality of life.
Dr. Laura is the BEST PT in Southeast Florida! I have been to many PTs in upstate NY and Florida and have never had success for my problems until I experienced Dr. Laura. As a practicing therapist for 38 years, she has knowledge and techniques that are exceptional. Unlike many "factory" places that tell you to do 30 reps of this exercise and 30 reps of another exercise and "check" how you're doing every 10 minutes, Dr. Laura does MANUAL therapy and works with you for every minute of the time she is with you. She employs multiple techniques and knows exactly what is best for each patient. She is very professional, extremely knowledgeable,
Patient and caring. I am completely satisfied with the excellent care I have received and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs
PT !
Dr Laura is amazing and has healing hands. She is so knowledgeable and informative. I was worried to go to physical therapy because I didn’t want to be misinformed, but I left feeling even more comprehensible about what is going on with my injuries. As well as Penelope at the front desk is AWESOME and so sweet, she helped me book my appointment, and gave me a lot of helpful info! :-)
I started going to Dr. Laura at East Coast Physical Therapy in April of 2024. I was so glad to find her and her office since there had been a delay between my surgery and my physical therapy . Due to this I developed adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) . I was in immense pain and very scared . Dr. Laura and her office assistant Penelope reassured me I would eventually recover and be ok .Their calming office , treatment room , gym and ice after treatment put me at ease . Plus I took note of Penelope wiping down and disinfecting the office which I really like . Dr. Laura takes the time to thoroughly address your ailments and I never feel rushed .I will continue to go to Dr. Laura and I feel I am on my way to a full recovery.
Great diagnostic skills! Courteous and professional Dr “Laura” provides a healing environment. She is patient and supportive and Penelope at the office has always been helpful and efficient. I have been seeing Dr Laura over the past two years and give her the highest recommendation. I started out by not being able to walk and now can walk easily at 4 miles without any pain. Keep up the great work!!
Hit all my goals. Really great. I can walk again. Had a new hip. Five years ago didn't get the proper pt
Can't fix it completely but I can now walk without pain.
She really knows what she is doing
Thanks Dr Laura

My husband and I came to Florida from NJ for a few months (snowbirds). My husband needed to continue his Physical therapy while we were here. We were very fortunate to find Dr Laura Haughie. She has changed my husbands attitude and given him the push he needs to be able to walk again. She has strengthened him beyond belief. Dr Laura is a very caring, professional and thorough person. My husband has been to many physical therapists throughout the years .. But none can compare to Dr Laura.
I broke my shoulder in two spots and separated the A/C joint. I went to see Dr. Laura Haughie after doing research into physical therapists in the area. Dr. Haughie is definitely very knowledgeable and we had no trouble communicating. Thanks to her physical manipulation, she was able to break all my adhesions, or scar tissue. I reached 100% range of motion, and started strength training with her and now am on my own doing exercises she prescribed. Without her I would not be where I am now.
I was on the road to rotator cuff surgery until Dr Haughie rescued me! She was recommended to me by some friends who had been healed by her themselves. The difference between Dr Laura and my previous PT was immense. I'm convinced that had I continued with that physical therapist I would definitely have needed surgery. Dr Laura's knowledgeable approach to my PT was tailored to me exactly. No hydroculators, no electrical stimulation, just one-on-one assisted exercise, targeting the precise musculature that makes you strong and helps you recover. Dr Laura also gave me treatments that worked to reduce the inflammation in my shoulder. The attention to me, the explanations of my injury and the plan for my recovery set Dr Laura apart from other practices. She and her able staff provide the know-how and the TLC to get you back to your full life. Don't go anywhere else!
Look no further! U have just found THE BEST PHYSICAL THERAPIST on the SE Coast! If u NEED REAL HELP with ur injury, Laura is the therapist u need to see! She does actual physical manipulation of the muscles around the injury, & literally changes ur body. 4yrs ago my elbow received 3 titanium pins for a break, I had zero strength, & couldn't even straighten my arm even after months of "physical therapy." After my SECOND visit with Laura, my arm is STRAIGHT! We are now working on strength, & I can already lift a book without pain. This is REAL PHYSICAL THERAPY. None of the nonsense we've all experienced at those big pt rooms...u know the ones with 5-10 people all being told basically to do the exact same thing -- "do 10 raises with each arm," or "ride the bike for 20mins." Afterwards, u leave with ur injury feeling no better than when u arrived. Yes, a small workout is good for everybody, but if u need REAL PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR AN INJURY, Laura is the one u need to see. Immediately! Stop suffering, & help yourself by coming here for physical therapy. It will change ur life for the BETTER! It definitely, finally, has changed mine.
Dr. Laura is the best PT I've ever had. Unlike "factory" places that tell you to do 30 reps of this exercise and 30 reps of another exercise and walk away checking back with you occasionally, Dr. Laura is different. She does MANUAL therapy and works one - on- one with you the entire time . As a therapist for 38 years, she has an extraordinary amount of knowledge and multiple techniques tailored to each patient. She is also very professional,
patient and caring. I doubt you'll find a better PT anywhere in Southeast Florida. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a PT !
I was referred to Dr. Haughie by a physiatrist at the Cleveland Clinic and am beyond impressed by her. Unfortunately, I have been in physical therapy many times before, but this therapist seems to be in a league of her own. Extremely knowledgeable and impressive.
