Working with Leah has changed my life! She took her time to understand not just my pain, but my daily routines, habits, and history. She worked with me to adjust everything from how I workout, to how I sit, and stand. Leah treats you as a true individual, not a case number, or a list of symptoms with prescriptive fixes. The office and gym are clean, welcoming, and always have a good vibe. If you want to make long term progress and learn about how to maintain it, I can’t suggest Leah enough.

My experience at Charlotte Athlete has been amazing. Dr. Michelle is hands down the best PT I've worked with - and I've worked with quite a few over the years! Michelle and team (B-dawg, Ireland and Jonathan) have gotten me out of pain and stronger than ever so I can get back to doing the activities I love without limitations. Thank you!

I injured my back as a freshman in high school lifting with improper form. I never had much trouble with it until about 2 years ago, right as I was entering the workforce post-grad and was starting to live a much more sedentary lifestyle. My back would give me the most trouble on long distance runs, playing golf, and even sitting in the car on road trips. I decided enough was enough! I tried doing PT through my insurance provider first, but had no luck. No disrespect to the PTs there, but they were more focused on ensuring their patients could go about their regular day without feeling pain, which wasn't really my concern. That's when I found the Charlotte Athlete. I was initially consulted by Dr. Leah, and felt from the get go that she would be able to provide me with the treatment that I needed. I put my faith in her and decided to commit to a 10 lesson plan. After undergoing 4 months of biweekly PT sessions, my back feels much better and I'm finally able to enjoy the things I wasn't able to before! Dr. Leah was beyond helpful, and always took the time to explain things to me throughout the process. She also made the sessions enjoyable and has an authentic and warm personality. I'd highly recommend the Charlotte Athlete and Dr. Leah in particular to anyone dealing with sports related injuries that are keeping them from living the lives they want to live.

After dealing with a nagging shoulder issue that was holding me back for years, I came to The Charlotte Athlete for support. The team here is fantastic! I've been working with Dr. Marissa since January, and she immediately demonstrated her knowledge and understanding by diagnosing the root causes of my issue and formulating an efficient, personalized recovery plan to get me back to where I need to be and help me realize my potential. If you're looking around for physical therapy, I cannot recommend her and The Charlotte Athlete enough!
