The largest part of our service area
North Naples covers a lot of ground, from the beachfront communities at Pelican Bay north and east through Pelican Marsh, Audubon, Mediterra and the many gated neighbourhoods either side of Immokalee Road, Vanderbilt Beach Road and Livingston.
It is also where the greatest concentration of golf communities sits, which means it is where the largest share of our golf and performance work happens.
Gated communities and how we handle them
Most of the residential communities here are gated, and every one of them has a slightly different arrangement: a call box, a pre-authorised visitor list, a guardhouse that wants a name and a resident’s confirmation.
None of it is a problem, but it is worth two minutes when you book. Tell us the name of the community and how visitors are normally cleared, and we will arrive without you having to sort anything out on the day.
For residents in the high-rise buildings closer to the beach, the equivalent is the front desk or concierge, and the same applies.
Golf communities and the season
If you belong to one of the golf communities up here, the seasonal pattern is familiar. Play increases sharply from November, often from a baseline of very little through the summer, and the injuries follow about six to eight weeks later.
The predictable ones are lower back, lead hip and shoulder. Nearly all of them trace back to a body being asked to make the same rotational movement several hundred more times a week than it did in October.
Getting assessed before the season rather than in the middle of it is the single most useful thing a member can do, and it is why we push the TPI assessment as a pre-season item rather than an injury response.
Home layouts here
The newer construction in North Naples tends to be single-storey with open floor plans, wide doorways and generally good accessibility, which makes the in-home work straightforward. Where there is a pool or a lanai, the step down to it is usually the one thing worth looking at closely, particularly for anyone working on balance.
Where we treat
Your home, your community’s fitness centre, the club, or the course. There is no travel charge anywhere in North Naples.
