What Members Say
I have been using Sports Architech Ballantyne off and on for the past 4 years. I have had nothing but a great experience. They make it easy to schedule, help with the insurance (shout out to Sarah as that is a huge role) and are so knowledgeable! They work hand in hand with many Charlotte doctors and are cutting edge when it comes to the newest advancement in treatments etc. Sydney has been a step ahead as I have been on a long road of tears and inflammation! I appreciate all that goes into a frustrating condition made “tolerable” by continuing my treatments there! Wouldn’t go anywhere else which is why I drive over 30 minutes to my appointments! I highly recommend everyone there!
Lori Hillman
The absolute best team delivering the absolute best care. We did an honest evaluation, set my goals, and they did a great job mixing it up to keep my rehab progressing but not letting it get boring in the six month process. They continued to do diligence and discover new needs along the way and adapt my rehab accordingly. They helped me attain my goals that other rehab clinics could not deliver on. I recommend all rehab start and ends with the Architech team.
John Eklund
I started going to Architect PT after injuring my hip and dealing with severe back pain that made even tying my shoes a struggle. In just the first week, David reduced my back pain to mild stiffness. By the second week, the stiffness was gone, leaving only some hip weakness during certain exercises.
Now, in week 4, I feel even better than before the injury. My back pain is gone, and my strength is fully restored. I highly recommend Archetict PT—David and the team are exceptional!
