Ask about pricingBoth South Carolina and North Carolina allow direct access — you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral in most cases. We'll help you verify what your insurance requires.
A full hour, one-on-one with Steven. No aides, no hand-offs. Evaluations may run a bit longer.
Comfortable athletic clothing you can move in — shorts if we're evaluating the lower body, a tank or short-sleeve for the shoulder.
Absolutely. Anyone active — or hoping to be — is welcome. Our approach applies to weekend warriors, everyday adults, and post-op patients just as well as competitive athletes.
It depends on your diagnosis and goals. After your evaluation, Steven will outline a realistic plan and revisit it as you progress.
BFR uses a specialized cuff to safely restrict blood flow during light-load exercise, building strength when heavy lifting isn't yet an option — ideal for early post-op rehab.
