DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY / FOUNDER
Dr. Natalia Sikaczowski, PT, DPT, CSCS, BFR-C
Dr. Natalia Sikaczowski founded Symmetry Physical Therapy in 2014 with the fundamental belief that patients should be treated on an individual basis. Dr. Natalia believes patients should be given a diverse array of treatment modalities and techniques, along with a progressive and varied exercise and stretching program, to ensure maximum recovery. This all-encompassing approach, along with Dr. Natalia’s strong background in strength and conditioning, has led to Symmetry’s successful treatment programs for patients looking to get back into sport, recover from injury, or beat chronic pain.
Doctor of Physical Therapy/Certified Manual Therapist
Dr. Stan Sowinski, PT, DPT, MTC
Dr. Stan Sowinski joined the Symmetry Physical Therapy team in March of 2018. Dr. Sowinski received his bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida.

Dr. Sowinski’s interest in physical therapy and sports performance started at an early age when he participated in several sports, inspiring his passion for movement, sports performance, and treatment of musculoskeletal impairments.

Dr. Nicole believes that a good clinician never stops learning. She continues to grow her craft and skill set with advanced training.

She hopes to complete her certification in Functional Manual Therapy by 2022, an elite distinction held by less than 300 physical therapists worldwide. Dr. Nicole has also trained at the Postural Restoration Institute, a groundbreaking paradigm of treatment that uses innovative treatment techniques to address postural kinematic movement dysfunction.
