PHOENIX PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS PERFORMANCE

WHO WE ARE
Phoenix Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, LLC, offers top caliber physical therapy and sports performance programs from a state-of-the-art wellness facility located in Denver, North Carolina.

OUR MISSION
To maintain a leading-edge, professional and dynamic training and wellness environment in which athletes and therapy patients of all ages and abilities may achieve their fullest potential in both training and in life.

OUR SPECIALTIES
At Phoenix, we focus on two core specialty areas – physical therapy and sports performance.  Our expert staff have years of experience in both arenas and approach them with a progressive, performance-based mindset.

  • PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our therapists have both the knowledge and expertise to take clients from the acute injury phase back to their prior level of function – or better. We create targeted programs that address the full spectrum of injury cause and recovery, and we implement them in highly customized, one-on-one sessions. In addition, we help our clients learn to prevent re-injury through specialized training and home exercise plans.

  • SPORTS PERFORMANCE

Our sports performance programs are grounded in the same training techniques we use with professional athletes.  We adapt those techniques to fit each athlete’s abilities, playing position and goals in order to boost performance at any age, in any discipline, amateur or pro.  We maintain leading-edge programs and equipment to ensure each client receives the most current competition-based training available – a practice that is setting the standard in the sports performance industry

 

NECESSARY QUALIFICATION: 
In order to be considered for an internship at Phoenix Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, each candidate must have a solid knowledge of anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, kinesiology, CPR, and First Aide, as well as, a strong work ethic, a deep-seated willingness to learn, strong communication skills, and current enrollment in an accredited undergraduate program or a graduate of a 4-year college or university. The ideal candidates are self-motivated, energetic, organized, and are team players with a desire to succeed.
