in Ballantyne
The Athletic Training Center at Architech Sports & Physical Therapy in Ballantyne helps athletes and active adults recover from injury, reduce pain, and return to training and competition stronger than before.

More Than Physical Therapy
Traditional physical therapy often focuses only on getting you out of pain. At Architech Sports, we go further.
Our Athletic Training Center bridges the gap between rehabilitation and performance. We don’t just help you feel better. We help you move better, train smarter, and reduce your risk of future injury.
Every plan starts with a thorough evaluation and continues through progressive strength, mobility, and movement training based on your goals.
Who We Work With
Our Ballantyne location works with a wide range of clients, including:
- Youth and high school athletes
- Collegiate and professional athletes
- Adults recovering from injury or surgery
- Active adults who want to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free
You don’t need to be an elite athlete to train like one. If movement matters to you, you belong here.

We call our model Athletic Performance Therapy. It combines rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance training into one coordinated plan. Your care may include:
- Movement and strength assessments
- Hands-on therapy when appropriate
- Progressive strength and conditioning
- Speed, agility, and coordination training
