What We Offer

One Goal: Peak Performance

PT, training, and nutrition coaching — all under one roof.

Physical Therapy

Performance-driven sports physical therapy for athletes and active adults in Winston-Salem. One-on-one care with a DPT — built to take you all the way through return to sport, not just out of pain.

Personal Training

Assessment-first personal training in Winston-Salem for athletes and active adults who are serious about results. Your program is built from real force plate and dynamometer data — not recycled from someone else's plan.

Nutrition Coaching

Performance nutrition coaching in Winston-Salem integrated with physical therapy and personal training. Daily coach access, weekly check-ins, and a plan that adjusts with your actual progress — not a static handout you figure out alone.

Why Elite Movement

The Performance Care Standard You've Been Missing

Standard PT gets most athletes to 80% and sends them home. At Elite Movement, we take every patient through phase 3 of rehab — the return-to-sport phase most clinics skip — so you come back stronger, not just pain-free.

One-on-One, Every Visit

Every visit is led by a DPT - individualized, focused, and built around your performance goals.

Return-to-Sport Testing Included

We use force plate and VALD testing to measure where you actually are — not where we assume you are — before clearing you to return to full training.

Phase 3 Rehab — All the Way Back

We complete all three phases of rehab, including the return-to-sport phase most clinics discharge you before ever reaching.

PT, Training, and Nutrition Under One Roof

Physical therapy, personal training, and nutrition coaching work together at Elite Movement — so your progress in one area supports the others.

FAQs

Common questions about cash-based PT, what to expect, and how Elite Movement is different from the rest.

Do I need a referral to get started?

No referral needed. You can book a free phone consult directly through our website. From there, we'll schedule your initial evaluation and build your program from there.

Why pay out of pocket when insurance might cover PT somewhere else?

Standard insurance-based PT often caps your sessions, limits time with your provider, and stops at symptom relief. At Elite Movement, you get one-on-one time with your PT, a performance-driven plan, and care that continues through every phase of recovery — including the phase most clinics skip. We also provide superbills for patients who want to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance.

How is Elite Movement different from regular PT?

Most PT stops once you're out of pain. We continue through return-to-sport testing and progressions until you're back at full training capacity and confident you won't re-injure. Every session is led by a DPT - not an aide or tech.

What happens at the first visit?

We start with a free phone consult to discuss your goals and make sure we're the right fit. If so, your first appointment includes a thorough performance-based evaluation. Your treatment plan is built specifically around you from there — no recycled programs.

Do I have to be a competitive athlete to come here?

Not at all. We work with athletes at every level — from competitive runners and team sport athletes to active adults who lift, hike, or play recreational sports. If staying active is a core part of who you are and you want care that reflects that, you belong here.

Still have questions?

We're happy to talk through it before you commit to anything.
