Kernersville Athletes Choose Kinetic PR

People from Kernersville who train seriously appreciate working with Orthopedic Clinical Specialists who understand volume, intensity, and what it takes to stay healthy long-term.

I had such a wonderful experience with Levi at Kinetic Performance & Rehab. His wealth of knowledge and ability to explain how and why the movements I was tasked with would help me in the long run has really made a huge impact in how I see rehab and preventative care. I went to him with severe chronic neck and upper back pain. With his help I was able to eliminate the pain AND keep it away which has dramatically changed my quality of life.

I came to Dr. Kirby after a significant flare up from a recurring low back/hip injury that prevented me from squatting and caused significant mobility issues. After working to identify the structural cause, we worked to re-strengthen muscles and reform movement patterns. We worked for several weeks with guided exercises and dry needling. I’ve been able to resume training at a high intensity with NO substitutions necessary. I’ve also been able to squat with zero pain for the first time in several years. I would highly recommend working with him. He is extremely knowledgeable and competent and has your wellness in mind.

The absolute BEST physical therapy around hands down they are in a league of their own. When I found them I was at the end of my rope, I had just lost 80 lbs in 6 months pushing super hard and I started to develop severe pain in my knees, especially the right one. The pain got so bad that I couldn’t run, couldn’t do leg day, I stand all day for work and I could barely make it through the day. Just tightness discomfort and swelling 24/7. I had tried a few cookie cutter pt places around and was left utterly disappointed and discouraged, it seemed like they could care less about getting me back to a high intensity level of training, I was just told “ stay off of it as much as possible and do these 2 exercises” while they were attending to 3 other patients at the same time. I was desperate to find a place where there were passionate and intentional about getting me back running and lifting and doing the things I love and from the first phone call I knew I had found it here within 5 minutes of sending my first email the owner Levi called me personally and talked to me for 20+ minutes and truly listened to my concerns and made me feel confident that they could get me back to a high level of performance. He got me setup with Lauren and she has been a lifesaver, I am back running and lifting and my knees feel better and better every week. It is definitely it easy work and you are going to get out of it what you put in but if you are willing to do the work and follow the plan they give you they will have you back doing all the things that you love GURANTEED. If you are dealing with any issues please please try this place you will not regret it!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Kernersville athletes.

How do you help athletes stay in training during rehab?

We adjust volume, intensity, and movement patterns based on where you are in recovery. Most athletes continue training with modifications while we address mechanics and build capacity back up.

What's the I3 Model you mention?

The I3 Model guides our process: calm the injury, fix incomplete mechanics, and build incident-ready performance. It's our framework for helping you get out of pain and stay out long-term.

Do you work with runners training for races?

Yes. Many Kernersville runners work with us while training for marathons, half marathons, and ultras. We help manage volume, address biomechanics, and keep you progressing toward race day.

Can you help with strength training injuries?

Absolutely. We work with barbell athletes, powerlifters, and strength-focused trainees dealing with hip, back, shoulder, and knee pain under load. We understand programming and help you lift safely.

What happens after I'm back to full training?

Many athletes transition to our Performance Care visits, monthly check-ins to stay ahead of issues, adjust training loads, and maintain the mechanics we built during rehab.
