The Architech Experience

"I’ve been going to Architech for two months now. Each session has been both professional and challenging as each week brings something new to my physical therapy sessions. It is absolutely incredible what they can teach you with a limited amount of machinery to assist in your recovery. The exercises are unique and steadily get you back to where you were before your injury. Highly recommend!!! You simply won’t find any better physical therapy facility."
Roderick Robinson
"Did 4 months of physical rehab after my hip labrum repair surgery at Architect Sports in Pineville. Can’t recommend them enough. I worked with Danny 1-2 times per week. He helped me get back to feeling confident in my rehabilitation journey. So much so that I got him a Worlds Best Physical Therapist shirt. 10/10 facility and staff. Highly recommend."
Kody Bernier
"If I could give ten stars, I would. After total knee replacement surgery, completing my physical therapy at Architech Sports in Pineville was the best choice ever. With the help of Lindsay and Tori, I was able to go from hanging onto my walker for everything to being able to run in just four months. They helped me know where my safe limits were and were able to answer my many questions along each step of my recovery process.

Recovery is scary as you have many physical feeling you haven’t felt before like tingling, numbness, tightness and pain that are new. Lindsay and Tori guided me through each of these feelings and the challenges of dealing with them and how to overcome them. Their ability to push me beyond what I thought I could do and always be in sync on my exercises and progress even got recognition from my surgeon during my follow-up’s. If you’re looking to succeed post-op, this is the place to come."
