The state of North Carolina has “Direct Access” to Physical Therapy, which means that you are not legally required to have a Physician's referral before seeing a Physical Therapist for an evaluation or treatment.

Understanding Performance-Based Physical Therapy In contrast, performance-based physical therapy integrates advanced techniques and a tailored approach to ensure that once you're healed, you're also conditioned, strengthened, and primed to return to your sport or activity at full capacity.

Sports physical therapists understand the mechanics of the body in motion and how those mechanics work with your unique physique when you run. This information allows them to make suggestions to improve your technique and prevent injuries from poor form.
