We Know What's Holding You Back

You've been dealing with pain that interrupts your progress and keeps you from the training you love. These frustrations are stealing your momentum and confidence.

Nagging Pain That Won't Quit

You've tried rest, ice, and generic stretches, but the pain keeps coming back every time you return to training. The cycle of setbacks is exhausting.

Fear of Making It Worse

You're worried that pushing through could cause more damage. The uncertainty keeps you from the workouts and movements you used to do with confidence.

"I had an injury after playing tennis and couldn’t even complete a match. Jordan was amazing, I left feeling better every time and now I’m able to play tennis multiple times a week with no issues. The focus on long-term health has been amazing! And Jordan’s a pretty awesome guy too! Well, worth the time and the Investment to stay healthy."
Erika Myers
"Matt is truly amazing! I had a sports related neck/shoulder injury and Matt had me back practicing within two weeks, and back at full strength week 4. I cannot thank him enough! Matt doesn’t just treat the issue, but will also give you multiple ways to prevent, strengthen and improve. He has a wealth of knowledge around the human body and I cannot recommend him enough!"

"Jordan has been such a huge help in getting me back to feeling myself again! I found Power Physio online when I was searching PT & dry needling near me. They answered my call right away & was able to get me in same day (within an hour of me calling!) He immediately knew how address my needs and was able to help with dry needling that day which brought me some much needed relief in a time of a lot of pain.From there he helped me work through a few other problem areas that would have taken months to address if I went with other PT’s through my insurance.He got me back to feeling normal again in only a few visits & that in itself is far worth the money spent.I would highly recommend Jordan and Power Physio to anyone looking to get back to feeling healthy & normal again. Much deserved 5 stars!"
Maura Howe
"If I could give Matt 10 stars I would. I drove up from Winston Salem to meet with Matt to address some elbow and forearm pain I was experiencing from strength training and BJJ. Or so I thought. Matt had an inkling that the pain wasn’t caused specifically from those two things. In fact, he didn’t think the problem was my elbow at all - but a nerve issue in my neck and upper back. By the end of the session, it was confirmed! And with a treatment plan in place, I can immediately return to the matts and the weight room.

Matt is the rare DPT who looks for the true source of the issue, not just the issue itself. He’s super passionate about helping people and able to make the complex, easy to understand. He’s a great listener too. I can’t recommend Matt highly enough"
Justin Baum
"I am so grateful for the help I received at Power Physio. I came in with pain in my shoulder/rotator cuff area and was not having any luck with at home rehab. Jordan was amazing! After just one visit I started feeling relief and was able to get back into the gym. He listened carefully to my concerns and quickly worked out a plan of how to get me back on track. He was able to get me to a point I was feeling almost back to 100% and was finally able to sleep through the night without any pain. I can’t thank Jordan and the team enough for all their help and would highly recommend Power Physio to anyone on the fence about PT!"
Rebecca Monteith
"I have been seeing Jordan at PowerPhysio and he has been nothing but amazing! I have been dealing with a shoulder injury that happened 5 years ago. Each session he takes time to address where my pain is at and sharing his knowledge of the body to educate me on the specifics. Each session we have seen significant improvement and celebrations of my pain getting less and less. I would highly recommend PowerPhysio to anyone!"
