Inside Aviv Clinics Florida

From the moment you step into our 30,000 square foot clinic, you’ll understand why Aviv is unlike any other medical facility you’ve been to. In addition to providing first-class medical care, patient experience and safety are of utmost importance to us. Our welcoming staff, experienced clinical team, and inviting atmosphere create the ideal environment for your physical and cognitive recovery.

Explore our three specialty wings at Aviv Clinics:

1. The Hyperbaric Wing
with our state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen treatment suites

2. The Neurocognitive Wing
for cognitive evaluation and training

3. The Physiological Wing
for physiological assessment and therapy

Hyperbaric Wing

Our four hyperbaric oxygen therapy suites combine innovative design and advanced technologies with premium comfort. Each suite accommodates 14 clients and a member of our medical team comfortably and safely.  Our suites meet or exceed all regulatory requirements for hyperbaric treatment, with some of the most advanced safety features in the industry.

Designed to evoke the feeling of entering a first-class airline cabin, our suites are furnished with plush seats, individual comfort controls, serene lighting, and personal tablets specialized for use in the HBOT suite’s pressurized environment. These unique tablets engage clients in state-of-the art cognitive training exercises while immersed in the hyperbaric environment.

Neurocognitive Wing

Each Aviv Medical Program client experiences a cognitive training program unlike any other. We implement the latest, research-validated tools to enhance cognitive capacities. These include memory, information processing speed, attention, executive function, and others.

Dual task training has been clinically shown to enhance cognition, reduce age-related cognitive decline, and improve physical function and quality of life in older adults. Our multimodal training includes specialized cognitive exercises during hyperbaric therapy sessions, as well as a cutting-edge cognitive training gym where clients complete brain exercises while performing physical activity.

Physiological Wing

Using the results of musculoskeletal, neurological, physiological and functional evaluations, each Aviv Client is prescribed a combination of physiotherapy, physical training, and nutritional coaching to build the foundation for their success in the Aviv Medical Program.

In addition to traditional physical therapy and exercise, clients receive additional workout time on state-of-the-art smart gyms that offer both physical training and performance diagnostics. Each client also receives a personalized nutrition plan based on comprehensive diet intake, habits and preferences, health conditions and their personal goals.
