Pivot Physical Therapy

The original pt was terrific but I only had her twice, then I got a guy who would tell me what to do and walk away. He could have just sent instructions home for all the good he was for me.

Activcare PT does a pretty good job. Trust me. I’ve spent lots and lots of time there too…
I was a patient of theirs last year for a low back and right hip problem. I went twice a week for 5 weeks. They know the structure of the body so well and how things are affecting each other. I was not always paired with the same therapist which bothered me a little at first, but then i was okay with it because they’re all extremely professional, friendly, and work hard. The problems were never fully resolved and my poor body was given restrictions — no more yoga, but they certainly got me back to living.
Now, I’m back again. This time it’s for mid (thoracic) to upper back pain, scapula (t-​zone and shoulders), and neck problems after straining my back. Now it’s no more running, but it’s not even been a month so we’ll see how they progress. The staff has changed some in just a year, but that’s because they’re growing. Last year they only had 1 location and now they have 2 locations in Raleigh (both near Rex but the newer one focuses more on women’s health) and 1 in Fayetteville.
If you want actual therapist suggestions, Stephen Reed is one of my favorites. He’s very calm, precise, focused, and young but incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. Carolyn is no longer at the main center, but I worked with her a lot last year. She was sweet, calm, and also very good. I believe she is now focusing more on women’s health at their new center which is nearby though.
If you need PT, they have great hours — open from 7am to 7pm Mon through Fridays and 8am to 12noon on Saturday. They really work with you and try to meet your needs. It’s very convenient on Blue Ridge Road just down the road from Crabtree Mall. All the staff is super to work with and their equipment is not only pretty new, but it’s diverse so there’s a huge variety in terms of treatment plans. They’ll do an initial evaluation and tailor your treatment to your individual needs.
