More Than Physical Therapy

Our clinic 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 with progressive strength, mobility, and movement training tailored to your goals.

You don’t need to be an elite athlete to train like one. If movement matters to you, you belong here.​

He is also a member of the American Society of Shoulder & Elbow Therapists (ASSET) and has contributed to the development of anatomy and physiology curriculum for the College Board.

The Architech Experience

"I have worked with Mia multiple times a week as I recover from Tommy John Surgery. As someone who is still pursuing a career in baseball, this rehab has to be successful in order to return. Mia was incredible with matching that sense of urgency, letting me know what needed to improve as well as staying task focused for the day so that I can return better than before. If you have any questions about if Architect is the place to do your rehab, I couldn’t recommend Mia enough!"
Adam Scott
"If I could give Architech Sports Physical Therapy Fort Mill 10 stars I would. The therapist (Chris) I worked with had the perfect blend of knowledge, professionalism and friendliness. He was able to answer all of my questions completely in an a manner that I could understand. He gave me his full attention and advanced my treatment with each visit. Most importantly, Chris educated me on how to continue with good practices at home. He helped me understand the nature of my issues and gave me confidence that I could manage things on my own going forward. As a 68 year-old lifetime athlete, I can honestly say Architech Sports was one of my very best Physical Therapy experiences. And Michelle at the front desk was a delight to work with. She went out of her way to schedule me convenient appointments and was always friendly at check in and check out."
Sally Dickson
"Truly amazing people and physical therapists through and through! Blessed to have had them work with me and get me feeling better than what I was before i was injured. Very personable staff, from all employees to the future physical therapist they train/work with. Exceptional people there and highly recommend Architech sports to anyone in need of physical therapy!"
