Injuries shouldn't define your life

  • You're in constant pain

    Every movement reminds you of your injury. Whether it's your knee, shoulder, back, or elbow, the discomfort keeps you from enjoying your favorite activities.

  • You've tried everything

     Cortisone shots, rest, ice, over-the-counter solutions—nothing seems to work long-term. You're frustrated and ready for real answers.

  • Your active lifestyle is on hold

     That weekend run feels impossible. The group ride is out of the question. Even playing with your kids or taking your dog for a walk feels overwhelming.

What our patients are saying

  • "I had been dealing with ongoing neck pain, and working with Matt has been very helpful so far. He is knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to explain what is going on and why certain exercises are recommended. The plan he put together is easy to follow, and I already feel like I have a better understanding of my neck pain and how to manage it."

    Maddie Vinson

  • "From a devastating crash to racing my bike and working again! It is all thanks to Matt! He was able to work with me one on one to get my strength and confidence back in my elbow. It was so nice being able to be his sole focus for a hour instead of a usual physical therapist having multiple patients at a time."

     Ava Sykes

  • "I struggled with multiple injuries through marathon training, and Matt was absolutely critical to getting me to the start line healthy. He always took lots of time and personalized my care, and really cared about how I was doing. I am forever grateful!"

  • Nope! South Carolina and North Carolina are direct access states, meaning you do not need a referral from another provider to receive care from a physical therapist. We are trained as first-access providers and can determine if your condition will improve with physical therapy. If you do have a referral already, you can see any provider you want—regardless of any specific clinic mentioned. Give us a call to discuss your needs!

  • We are an out-of-network provider, meaning we do not bill your insurance directly. We chose this model because the current healthcare system places too many restrictions on therapists, making it impossible to provide the best care to reach your unique goals. This often looks like providers treating multiple patients at once for a shorter period of time, which decreases the quality of care. You deserve better than allowing an insurance company to dictate your care. We are happy to prepare a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.

  •  Your physical therapist will sit down with you and listen to your current issue(s) and past history. Then, they will perform a comprehensive movement assessment and partner with you to create a plan to reach your unique goals. Wear workout or other comfortable clothing that allows you to move. Shorts are ideal if you are seeing us for a lower body issue. A tank top or sports bra that allows access to your neck and shoulder blades is ideal if you are coming in for a shoulder or neck issue.
