What Ardmore-Area Athletes Are Saying

Hear from runners, lifters, and competitors who went beyond 80%.

I’ve been training with David for nearly a year, and I’ve never felt better. I came in with several sports injuries, and thanks to his expert care and personalized approach, every one of them has improved significantly. David’s knowledge and attention to detail are unmatched, and the environment at Elite Movement is incredibly supportive and motivating. The entire team of trainers and physical therapists truly cares about your progress, making it the perfect place to recover, grow, and perform at your best.

I had tore my Acl and meniscus and had to get surgery for my leg and without David help i wouldn’t be able to come back stronger and better than I was before and I’m glad I got to work with him had a good time learning and experience new things. I would recommend working with him so he can fix you’re problems with any injuries and thanks to him I got back to playing 2 months before completing my 1 year of surgery I’m very grateful I got to work with him and now I’m back on the pitch thanks to him. 100% recommend working with him.

I can’t say enough good things about elite movement! Stephen was incredibly kind and encouraging, and he made the whole session feel comfortable and approachable — especially for someone like me who isn’t super knowledgeable about the gym. He took the time to explain everything clearly, never made me feel judged, and really motivated me to push myself in a positive way. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people feel confident and capable. I’d highly recommend him to anyone, no matter your fitness level!

FAQs

Common questions from athletes near Ardmore before booking their first visit at Elite Movement.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy near Ardmore?

No. North Carolina allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can reach out and schedule your free phone consult without seeing a physician first. If your insurance plan requires a referral for out-of-network reimbursement, we can help you navigate that after your first session.

What does a typical visit at Elite Movement look like?

Every visit is one-on-one with David Craft, PT, DPT — no aides, no group circuits, no being handed off mid-program. You get focused, individualized attention every session, and a plan that reflects your sport, your goals, and where you are in your recovery.

I've tried PT before and the injury came back. Why would this be different?

Most traditional PT stops at symptom relief — usually around 70 to 80 percent of where you need to be. At Elite Movement, we take you through every phase of rehab, including the return-to-performance phase most clinics skip entirely. That's where re-injury risk actually drops and real resilience gets built.

Do I have to stop training while I'm in PT?

Usually not. For most injuries, smart training is part of the recovery process. We'll modify loads, intensity, or movement patterns as needed, but our goal is to keep you active and progressing toward your goals — not sidelined on a table for weeks.

How far is Elite Movement from Ardmore?

We're located at 225 E 5th St in the Innovation Quarter — a quick, straightforward drive from Ardmore and the surrounding West Winston-Salem neighborhoods. Most patients near Ardmore find the commute fits easily into their training week.
