This place saved my quality of life. It has been over a year since I worked with Dr. Z for a knee injury which kept me out of fencing and martial arts and his exercises and manual techniques such as dry needling got me out of pain. Continuing his exercises I have returned to my sports and am now completely pain free in all range of motion on my knee. My doctor doubted I could ever be pain free again and diagnosed me with chondromalacia, a degenerative condition. But not only am I not degenerating, I am even better than I was before. Thankful for The Charlotte Athlete and Dr. Z.
After dealing with multiple compounded injuries for over six years, I finally went to The Charlotte Athlete in June, and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Kiley Robb identified my most pressing issue as nerve-related and within just a few weeks of targeted exercises, the inside leg pain I’d had for over a year was gone. Dr. Kiley is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely invested in her patients. She understands my goals, listens to my concerns, and takes the time to get to know me as a person throughout every visit. The model of physical therapy at The Charlotte Athlete allows her to seamlessly address multiple injuries in a single session, and the personalized, high-quality care she and the team provide makes me feel fully supported throughout the recovery process. As a lifelong athlete who hasn’t been able to do the sports I love for years, this care has had a massive impact on my physical and mental health. I can’t recommend Dr. Kiley Robb and The Charlotte Athlete enough to anyone in pain or looking to take their performance to the next level.
I’ve been going to see Dr. Marissa for IT band issues since October and I am more than pleased with the outcome. I’ve never done PT before and Marissa was very knowledgeable about my diagnosis and extremely helpful with showing me the movements to help build my glute strength back up. My issues have subsided and I now have the confidence to continue my regular workout routine. I enjoy how they thoroughly teach you the tools to help the issue if it happens again in the future. I highly recommend Charlotte Athlete and Dr. Marissa!!
I started working with Kiley Robb over the summer for achilles tendonitis, and she was able to identify the underlying causes to tailor a program for my specific needs & abilities, and get me back to working order. Each session built upon the previous one, and she was always thinking of new ways to push me to the edge of my comfort zone without causing any pain. She was incredibly knowledgable, professional, flexible with scheduling, and the team was transparent & fair with pricing. I'm back to doing what I love and have the confidence to push myself in & out of the gym. I would highly recommend working with Kiley to anyone who has injuries or are looking for ways to stay pain free!
I had a great experience at the Charlotte Athlete. I saw Dr. Kiley Robb. She was incredible. My first appointment she was very detailed and thorough evaluating me to determine what was going on. I felt heard and understood. I had hurt my shoulder and was trying to get it back to where I could play sand volleyball again. She was thoughtful with my exercises. Within 2 months or less she helped me get to where I could play in a tournament I had been planning most of the year for. I am stronger and confident on what to do to keep my shoulder capable of doing the things I love. Thank you!
