Buster Brown is a miniature long-haired dachshund who proudly serves as our Chief Fun Officer and Support Dog at Back 2 Normal. Known for his exceptional ability to spread joy, Buster has earned accolades such as the Best Tail Wag Award and Most Snuggles Given in a Day, as voted by clients in 2024. Each morning, Buster kicks off his day with his signature zoomies, enthusiastically running to all the rooms to greet each team member. The staff find his presence incredibly comforting, making Back 2 Normal not just a great place to heal but also a great place to work. Buster continues to attend obedience and confidence courses, working diligently to enhance his skills and become an even greater source of support and encouragement for everyone around him.
Buster is guided by three core values: joy, empathy, and courage. He brings happiness to everyone he meets with his wagging tail and warm snuggles, creating a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere. His empathy shines through in his unique ability to sense when someone needs extra love or support, making him a comforting presence for clients in pain or those seeking emotional care. Despite his own challenges with anxiety, Buster demonstrates courage daily, inspiring others with his resilience and determination.
What makes Buster exceptional is his loving and attentive nature. He especially enjoys greeting clients and offering comfort to those who need it most, showing that even small gestures can make a big difference. As Buster sees it, “Sometimes the best medicine is a wagging tail or a snuggle.”
When Buster isn’t spreading joy at Back 2 Normal, he loves running and playing with his friends in the neighborhood. He enjoys exploring local parks, learning new tricks, playing fetch and curling up for cozy naps after a busy day of comforting clients. His favorite soundtrack includes a mix of relaxing classical music for downtime and upbeat 80’s tunes for playtime.
Buster’s warm personality and dedication to his role make him an cherished member of the Back 2 Normal family. Whether greeting clients, supporting the team, or showing off his playful side, Buster reminds everyone of the importance of joy, connection, and unconditional love.
“Because of Lisa, I’m sure many injuries were prevented, and those that did happen saw a quick recovery. Her technique of using a holistic approach and addressing the body as a whole improved my overall abilities on the court. Physical therapists like Lisa Chase are a rare find.”

“I’ve spent a long time knowing I needed deep levels of healing, and many medical ‘professionals’ have overlooked my needs, told me I was too body aware, and dismissed what I told them. I CANNOT express enough gratitude to Lisa Chase and her team at Back 2 Normal!

I CANNOT express enough gratitude to Lisa Chase and her team at Back 2 Normal! Here they listen and focus on the root cause of your pain, really prioritizing your health. After a car accident on top of many traumas, I felt hopeless and like no one really heard me. I thought I’d have to travel out of the country for this type of healing, but St. Pete has it! This is not your average physical therapy clinic; Lisa’s place is pure magic!

Injuries don’t just affect your body; they challenge your mental resilience and threaten your ability to achieve your goals. Many athletes face the pressure to compete while injured or receive intermittent, generalized treatments that fail to address the root causes of their pain. Over time, these incomplete recovery strategies can lead to recurring injuries, shortened careers, and missed opportunities to fulfill your optimal potential.
Too often, athletic injury evaluations are performed at tournament/event sites under time constraints, with limited resources and a lack of individualized care. Combined with extensive travel and interactions with various healthcare providers, this approach compromises the continuity of care needed for lasting recovery and optimal performance. While these quick treatments may provide temporary relief, they often fail to deliver rapid pain reduction or prevent future injuries effectively.
At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we address these gaps with a holistic, highly individualized approach. We provide continuity of care that follows you throughout your season, ensuring that every aspect of your recovery and performance is supported. Our model doesn’t just focus on treating the injury but on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to it. This comprehensive approach empowers you to recover fully, perform at your best, and achieve a longer, healthier athletic career.
Evidence suggests injury risk is multifactorial. The traditional approach of treating your injured body part alone does not address the complex factors involved in creating the injury and limiting recovery. At Back 2 Normal, we provide:
