I help athletes and lifters move better, train harder and stay pain-free

The work doesn’t change. The results do.

Test. Don’t guess.

This is becoming a part of every patient’s evaluation and treatment plan.

force decks let us measure strength, power, movement, asymmetry, balance, and more — but the real value is how that data is used.

For me, it’s about building a comprehensive assessment and a plan that’s actually tailored to you.

Whether you’re
• an athlete trying to jump higher
• a lifter coming back from injury
• or someone who just wants to train with confidence

knowing exactly where you’re starting — and objectively tracking progress — matters.

This is a counter-movement jump assessing power output, jump height, and rate of force development.

And yes…
those data readings stayed in the video on purpose 😉

Less guessing. More precision. Better results.

Most people don’t need more corrections.

They need more capacity.

Rehab isn’t about eliminating stress.

It’s about applying the right amount — progressively.

Save this if you train.

Follow for rehab that actually carries over.

Former athletes in Raleigh & Cary—

If back pain keeps interrupting your training, this page is for you.

You don’t need to stop lifting, rest forever, or avoid the movements you enjoy.

You need guidance that actually translates back to training.

I help former athletes train hard without breaking down.

Dry needling is a neuromuscular intervention aimed at reducing abnormal muscle tone and pain sensitivity.

It can improve movement quality and help athletes tolerate load sooner.

But only when paired with progressive training.

Passive care doesn’t build resilience.
Intentional loading does.

Simple version:
Dry needling calms tight, overworked muscles so you can move and train better.
Strength training is what makes the results last.

Rehab has to turn into training or people stay stuck.

Early rehab matters.

But staying there too long is usually the problem.

Your body rebuilds confidence through challenge, not avoidance.

At some point, rehab should start to feel like training.

That’s how strength and confidence come back.

2025: what a year.

Lot of lessons learned, connections made, and patients helped. 2 lifelong missions happened this year.

2025 was the year I found out I was going to be a dad to a beautiful baby girl (more on that later).

Lots of struggles in business but all necessary to take the next steps.

I bought, gutted, renovated and opened my first physical therapy/performance office.

I also competed in my last powerlifting meet and hit numbers I never thought possible for myself (500+ squat, 580+ deadlift, 1400 lb total)

But overall, the ups outweighed the downs and the support I’ve gotten throughout has been incredible. 2026 is going to be the same me but with a lot more direction and focus.

Less Pains. More Gains.

Why I created Licensed Performance’s new home the way I did.

10/17/2025

Today was a special one.

Officially cut the ribbon to my first office — a moment that still doesn’t feel real.

From an idea that started years ago to now standing here with my wife, holding the ribbon in front of what we built together… it’s hard not to think back on all the long days and lessons that led to this point.

Grateful for the support, the people who believed in the vision, and the chance to keep building something bigger than myself.

Licensed Performance is officially open.

Less Pains. More Gains. 💪

Strength changed my life, and now it’s what I help others build.

My name’s Casey Irvine. I’m an Athletic Trainer and Doctor of Physical Therapy. But more than that, I’m someone who’s been on both sides of this process.

I’ve been the kid who struggled to squat the bar.

I’ve been the athlete who pushed too hard and ended up injured.

And I’ve been the clinician trying to help people who were told to “just stop lifting.”

Over the years I’ve worked in SEC football, with special operations units, and inside some of the top sports performance facilities in the country. I’ve learned from some of the sharpest minds in rehab and strength & conditioning.

But I’ve also worked with people from all walks of life, from world-class athletes chasing peak performance to parents who just want to feel strong and keep up with their kids.

Through it all, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful strength can be, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

It changes how you move, how you think, and how you show up for yourself and the people around you.
That’s something I’ve lived, and something I want everyone I work with to experience too.

All of those experiences led me here to build something different.

A place where physical therapy and strength training aren’t separate.

Where rehab looks like training, and training builds resilience.

Where people don’t feel broken, but capable.

That’s what Licensed Performance stands for.

It’s not about quick fixes or temporary relief.

It’s about helping people reclaim their strength physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Less Pains. More Gains.

That’s the mission. That’s the standard.

Follow along. This is just the beginning.

So many hours have gone into making this place different than a normal physical therapy office. I’m excited to show people the new home for strength, rehab and performance.

The giveaways have been coming in so heavy that everyone might leave a winner.
