2019

GET TO KNOW OUR TEAM: FRANK DIECKMAN, PT, MTC, CFC We are so happy to have Frank lead our clinical team here at FYZICAL Bradenton and Ellenton! He has an innate passion for helping people which really shines through in our overall patient care. Frank earned his expertise from the “Amsterdam College for Allied Health Professionals”, where he graduated in 1994 with his bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy while completing simultaneously a Sports Medicine Urgent Care tract at the renowned “A.F.C. Ajax Soccer Academy”. At his core, Frank really strives to help all patients as much as he can, and he has dedicated his life to doing so. Frank is a highly skilled member of our team and an invaluable asset to our practice. He has been known to treat very complicated cases of headaches and facial pain, and this advanced education has led him to teach 2-day CEU courses on TMJ for FYZICAL nationally. It is rare for physical therapists to have the extensive knowledge and certifications that he does for TMJ, andmany other PTs are eager to learn from him because of this. Our patients have taken notice of hismastery as well!Many of our patients travel far and wide to seek treatment with Frank.

With a desire to help professional athletes and weekend-warriors everywhere, he initially decided to set his focus on a sports medicine career in Holland. Frank then decided to move to the United States in 1996, where he continued his career helping athletes and patients. From 1997-2002, Frank was the clinic director at IMG Sports Academy, helping athletes andweekend- warriors recover from injuries and improve their performance abilities. While his original focus was in sports medicine, Frank has since expanded to include patients from all walks of life. In fact, in 2002, he decided to open his own outpatient Physical Therapy clinic with his wife Melanie Scott, who is also a practicing Physical Therapist. Their clinic initially specialized in back, neck, joint, and muscle injury rehabilitation, but has since adopted new specializations, including the treatment of balance issues, dizziness, and neurological conditions as well as TMJ injuries.

Outside of work, Frank and Melanie enjoy spending timewith their two children and sharing their love for athletic endeavors. At Fyzical Bradenton and Ellenton, we have one mission: to provide compassionate, caring, and effective treatment for any patient who walks through the doors. Frank undeniably helps make this a reality – he is such a unique physical therapist who genuinely cares about everyone he and his team treats. He works hard to better himself so he can be the best physical therapist for our patients. His devotion to patients is unlike any other - if you are living with pain, there is no doubt that Frank and his team can help.
