What Buena Vista-Area Athletes Are Saying

Real results from active adults who stopped settling for 80%.

Stefan really knows what he’s doing. His technical knowledge of how the body works is impressive yet he manages to breakdown scientific jargon into easy-to-digest nuggets for practical application.
Samuel Austin Adams
So excited to continue working with Coach Stefan. He is both knowledgeable and encouraging in helping meet goals. My high school athletes love going to him as well.
Baily Apostol
I tore my Achilles several years ago and had surgery to repair it. After the initial recovery I was still struggling with regaining strength across my entire lower body. I was also suffering from back, neck, and shoulder pain as a result of that weakness. I saw 3 different physical therapists over a 4 year period with no real results. After working with DC Performance for a couple months, I felt stronger and the pain across my body basically disappeared. DC Performance listens to what the issues are and addresses them at the source, as opposed to printing out a template exercise program that provides topical solutions. I’ve been doing DC Performace exercises for almost three years and have never felt stronger and more comfortable.

FAQs

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

Do I need a doctor's referral to start physical therapy near Buena Vista?

No. North Carolina gives you direct access to physical therapy, so you can book your free phone consult and get started without a physician referral. If you want to pursue out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance, we provide superbills to help — but a referral isn't required to begin.

Will I have to stop training while I'm working with Elite Movement?

Usually not. For most people, smart training is part of the recovery process. We'll adjust load, intensity, or exercise selection as needed, but our goal is to keep you active and moving toward your performance goals throughout your program.

How is this different from the PT I've done before?

Most traditional PT stops when pain improves — which is often around 70 to 80 percent recovery. At Elite Movement, we take you through every phase of rehab, including the return-to-performance progressions most clinics skip. That's where lasting resilience gets built and the injury cycle actually ends.

Is Elite Movement only for competitive athletes?

Not at all. Our patients include competitive runners, youth athletes, recreational gym-goers, and active adults who simply want to keep doing what they love without breaking down. If physical activity is a consistent part of your life, you'll fit in here.

How do I get started from Buena Vista?

Book a free phone consult directly on our website. David Craft, PT, DPT, will connect with you to learn about your goals, understand your injury history, and confirm Elite Movement is the right fit before your first visit.
