Board-Certified Top Rated Physical Therapy in Charlotte
If you’re on the hunt for solid physical therapy in Charlotte, NC, we’ve got you covered. Led by Dr. Jason Creek, DPT, a Board-Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist with 11+ years of clinical experience, our team’s made up of pros who actually know what they’re doing—and more importantly, they know how to listen. Whether you tweaked something working out, pulled something weird at work, or just woke up with pain that won’t go away, we’ve got the tools (and the hands) to help.
We’re not here to throw the same cookie-cutter plan at everyone. Your body’s different, your pain’s different, and your goals are probably different too. So we build a plan around you. With advanced certifications in dry needling, running gait analysis, and specialized training for conditions like Parkinson’s Disease, we’ll walk you through every step and keep it real.
PERSONALIZED CARE FROM OUR CERTIFIED SPECIALISTS
No two bodies are built the same, so even if you and someone else are both dealing with, say, shoulder pain—it’s not always the same story. That’s why we don’t do one-size-fits-all therapy. Our American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties certified team takes the time to actually look at what’s going on with your body, figure out what’s throwing things off, and build a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
And look, we’re not just handing you a clipboard and pointing at machines. Every visit, you’ll get real one-on-one time with a therapist who’s locked in on your progress. Our evidence-based approach, backed by Dr. Creek’s extensive training, ensures focused, personal care—every single time.
Our Proven 4-Phase Recovery Program
Dealing with pain and not sure what to do next? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own either. Our physical therapy team in Charlotte gives you legit one-on-one care that digs into why you’re hurting—not just where it hurts. From there, we build a plan that actually fits your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Getting out of pain is one thing—staying motivated after is a whole different game. We get it. That’s why we don’t just stop at relief. We’ll help you rebuild your strength, get your flexibility back, and move the way your body’s meant to. The goal? Keep you feeling good and set you up to avoid injuries down the road.
Got an injury and just want to get back to feeling normal again? Our experienced physical therapists, led by a Board-Certified specialist with expertise spanning post-surgical care to sports injury rehabilitation, build rehab plans that are tailored to you, not some generic checklist. Whether it’s getting back to the gym, the job, or just walking without wincing—we’re here to help you.
Worried about messing something up again? Totally valid. We don’t just help you heal—we make sure you stay that way. With certifications in injury prevention and Dr. Creek’s proven track record of reducing post-surgical recovery times, our physical therapists give you the tools, habits, and game plan you need to keep your body strong, avoid setbacks, and recover in a way that actually sticks.

Success Stories & Testimonials
I am an 85 year old retired Pharmacist. My daughter-in-law is a hospice nurse at the VAMC in Salisbury, NC. I had been wheelchair bound ever since I came home from the hospital around Christmas. She recommended that Jason help me get my strength back. He has exceeded my expectations. I can now walk with a cane or rollator and am able to go to lunch with my wife, go to church, and am planning a vacation to my mountain home. I highly recommend Jason’s services!
I have had peripheral neuropathy for many years, which was mentally and physically exhausting. After speaking with Jason he was confident that he could help. I had never heard of dry needling and honestly, it was a little intimidating at first. The evening after the first session, I had more feeling in my left hand than I had felt in over a year. It was amazing! I kept touching things with that hand to ensure I wasn’t dreaming! The following sessions helped even more. Now I can actually feel textures with that hand I had not experienced for many years. I am a believer and Jason explains everything so clearly and in layman’s terms, so you understand what exactly is happening and why it works. His patience and knowledge go well beyond anything I have ever had from a doctor in the past. Don’t wait! If you have any pain or discomfort, I highly recommend Dr. Creek and he will get you back to living a full life!
I have been a staff nurse for almost 30 years and these last years have been difficult due to my back pain. Sometimes I would get home and just cry because of the pain and increasing numbness. I wondered how I was going to last until retirement with my ever increasing discomfort. My days off I spent in bed hoping for relief. Then I spoke to Jason, after hearing my problem, he felt he could help. After just a couple of treatments I could feel results. I did my exercises daily in the beginning. I worked with Jason once weekly for 8 weeks. Now I do my exercises on my days off from work. And, I now look forward to my retirement knowing I have finally found an exercise program that keeps my back feeling good and pain-free. I feel stronger every week.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?
Physical therapy sessions typically involve an assessment of your condition, manual techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercises and activities to help you reach your goals, education on how to prevent further injury or pain, and instruction on proper posture, body mechanics and other lifestyle changes.
Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physical Therapy?
Full access, no limitations or stipulations
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
Shorts or pants that are snug to tight but comfortable and allow you to move easily. Sung clothing keeps the 3D markers in place and provides a more accurate scan.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.
How long will my physical therapy sessions last?
90 evaluation and 60 minute follow up treatments.
Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?
Yes! Your physical therapist may provide specific exercise recommendations for you to try in between visits, which will help speed up your recovery and progress faster toward reaching your goals. It’s important to follow these carefully and always check with your PT before starting a new exercise program if you have any questions or concerns.
What if I have questions after my physical therapy session?
Your physical therapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!
Will insurance cover my physical therapy?
We take FSA, HSA, and Out of Network benefits. Please check with your insurance carrier.
How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?
1-2 times/week for 4-6 weeks.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Every person’s situation is unique; therefore the amount of time needed to reach goals varies. With commitment and dedication from both you and your physical therapist, you can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks. The more positive lifestyle changes you make, the faster your progress will be!
Will my physical therapist be able to answer any questions I have about my condition?
Yes! Your physical therapist should be available to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your condition or treatment plan. Don’t hesitate to bring up any issues that may arise during the course of therapy.
What if I feel too much pain during a session?
If at any time during your physical therapy session you experience increased pain, it’s important to let your therapist know so they can adjust the intensity or technique as necessary. Your therapist will work with you to make sure that treatment is comfortable and effective for you
How will I know when I no longer need physical therapy?
Your physical therapist should be able to provide guidance on when it is appropriate to stop attending physical therapy sessions based on your progress, goals, and overall health status. It’s important to listen to your therapist and continue with treatment until they feel you are ready to move on.
