Footworx Active Is Now Healthworx Active
Same team. Same trusted podiatry care. A bigger commitment to your health. We’ve grown from foot and ankle specialists into a center that cares for you from head to toe and we’re proud to do it under a name that reflects how much we can now help.
Alongside this growth, we’ve also moved to a direct care model, Membership or Per Visit Fee, so we can spend more time on our guests. Our direct care model is built to give people truly personalized treatment plans free from the restrictions of insurance-based care. Our team is driven by one thing: helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back their confidence to live life fully.
Our Story
As Footworx Active, we earned our reputation as southwest Florida’s go-to podiatry team. Year after year, our guests told us the same thing: they wished they could get this level of care for the rest of their health, too. So we expanded. Healthworx Active keeps everything you loved about Footworx Active — the providers, the expertise, the personal attention — and adds the wellness, coaching, and fitness services that help you stay active for life.
The idea was never to become a different company. It was to finish what we started. When Dr. Soorena Sadri and Gina Sadri co-created Footworx Active in 2020, the goal was simple: treat people, not just symptoms. Time and again, a person would come in for a foot or ankle issue, and the real conversation would turn to the things working against their recovery — physical, activity, nutrition, the daily habits that either help the body heal or hold it back. We could fix the foot. We wanted to heal the whole person.
Healthworx Active is the answer to those conversations. It’s the same office, the same faces, and the same standard of care you already trust — now built to support you well beyond the exam room. Our direct care membership plans are designed around you, not an insurance plan.
The Founders
Healthworx Active was built by two people with one shared vision of care.
Podiatric Physician & Surgeon
Dr. Soorena Sadri is a Board Certified Podiatric Medical Surgeon with 17 years of clinical experience, a clinical innovator, and the Medical Director and Co-founder of HealthWorx Active. He offers a uniquely comprehensive approach to lower extremity health, combining advanced surgical intervention with a deep understanding of human biomechanics, nutrition, and physical performance, specializing in comprehensive foot and ankle surgery and advanced wound care.
Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Executive Director
Gina Sadri is the Executive Director and co-founder of HealthWorx Active, where she is dedicated to enhancing the guest experience through strategic management. Gina oversees all operations, making crucial executive decisions that drive both the growth and the daily management of the company and its team. Her leadership is underpinned by a strong belief in the power of effective communication, which she considers vital for fostering collaboration and understanding within teams and relationships.
Why We Changed Our Name
“Footworx” told you exactly what we did. But it no longer told you everything we can do. As we added wellness coaching, preventative care, and fitness guidance, the old name started to sell our guests short. Healthworx Active reflects the full scope of our care while keeping the spirit that built our reputation: active, hands-on, and focused on getting you moving. Nothing about our ownership, our team, or our commitment to you has changed – only the size of the promise we’re able to keep, and the model behind it: direct care so we can spend our time on you instead of on insurance paperwork. That means every visit is simple, straightforward, and 100% focused on your results – not on adhering to insurance guidelines.
Still Your First Choice for Podiatry
Our growth changes nothing about our foot and ankle care. The same providers, the same clinical excellence, the same focus on getting you back on your feet. Podiatry is our foundation — and the services we’ve added are proven to support better outcomes for the people we already serve.
Whether you’re managing heel pain, recovering from an injury, living with diabetes, or simply trying to stay on your feet for the people and activities you love, you’ll find the same expert, surgeon-led care that made us southwest Florida’s trusted name in podiatry.
Whole-Person Care, From the First Step
Healthy feet are where it starts – but they’re rarely where the story ends. The same person who walks in with foot pain is often navigating the bigger picture of staying active and well as they age. Our expanded services are designed to close that gap, so you don’t have to coordinate your care across a half-dozen offices that never talk to each other – or wait on an insurance company to decide what is allowed.
Under one roof, our patients now have access to expert podiatric medicine and surgery, certified health and wellness coaching, preventative and lifestyle medicine, and fitness guidance built around real, sustainable movement. Each service reinforces the others – because better overall health leads to better outcomes for the conditions we’ve always treated.
What We Believe
Movement is medicine. The ability to stay active is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health, and protecting it is at the center of everything we do.
Care should be personal. You are not a chart or a diagnosis code. We take the time to know you, explain your options, and build a plan that fits your life.
Prevention beats repair. The best outcome is the problem you never have. We educate our guests on the habits that keep them healthy, not just the procedures that fix them.
Our Mission
To keep our community moving — from the first step to a fully active life — with expert, compassionate, whole-person care.
