Find Your Fitness
Movement is Medicine.
The goal of physical therapy is to help you move better and without pain. If you are moving with pain, you may need PT before fitness. An even broader goal of physical therapy is to encourage better lifestyle choices including daily movement. Often it is easier to stick with movement if you can find a class or a group that you love, that holds you accountable. There are many choices out there when it comes to gyms, especially in the Lake Norman Area and most have cult followings. The goal of this table is to help you find what works for you, to help you find your tribe!
