Pain is rarely the issue.
It is the pattern your body has been using to get by.

When posture, breathing, and movement fall out of sync, pain shows up as the messenger.
At Optimal Performance Physical Therapy, we do not chase symptoms. We identify the pattern behind them using a Postural Restoration approach and one-on-one care.

Back, hip, knee, shoulder, jaw, or that pain you cannot quite explain.
There is a reason it keeps coming back.

Start with a free 30-minute consultation and let us help you reconnect the system instead of silencing the signal.

This is what we do at Optimal PT

Every patient has one spot that always speaks up.
Low back.
Hip.
Neck.
Jaw.
Shoulder blade.
The truth is that the aching spot is rarely the real problem. It is the part working overtime to keep you upright when something else is not doing its job.

Postural Restoration helps you understand why your body keeps choosing the same compensation pattern and how to finally break it.
Your pain is not random. It is a message. We help you interpret it and resolve it.

Come in for a free thirty-minute consultation and find out what your body has been trying to tell you.

Anterior Knee Pain Is Rarely Just the Knee

Pain at the front of your knee when you squat, run, or take stairs is often caused by how your hips, ankles, and posture work together, not just the knee itself.

At Optimal Performance Physical Therapy, we look at the whole system using a Postural Restoration approach. Every visit is one-on-one with a physical therapist. No assistants.

North Carolina is a direct access state. No referral needed.

People focus on stretching, strengthening, icing, and resting. The one thing most people never think about is rib position.

Your ribs set the foundation for how you breathe and how your spine moves. When they are not in the right place, your neck tightens, your lower back works overtime, and your hips become confused about their job.
