Sports Physical Therapy in Winston-Salem, NC

Get back to lifting, running, and competing without pain holding you back

One-on-one care from orthopedic specialists who train themselves and understand what it takes to stay in the gym, hit PRs, and keep doing what you love for decades.

What happens when you ignore the pain or get the wrong advice

You modify every workout

Not training at the level you want, you're just working around the problem.

The pain keeps coming back

Short-term relief doesn't fix the mechanics, so you're stuck in the same injury cycle.

You're told to stop doing what you love

Generic advice like "just rest" or "you can't do CrossFit or run anymore" doesn't help you stay active for life.

What athletes say about working with Kinetic PR

People who train hard need specialists who understand their goals and can help them stay consistent without constant setbacks.

In the midst of marathon training block calf soreness arose. After three appointments with Dr. Kerby I am running again completely pain free.

Dr. Levi Kerby at Kinetic Performance and Rehab is a miracle worker! I had a shoulder injury that caused daily pain for nearly a year. I had seen another physical therapist and I had recommendation for surgery before I found Levi through my CrossFit gym. Levi got me out of daily pain and got me back in the gym. I am so grateful to have found such a dedicated and knowledgeable physical therapist!

Dr. Lauren is excellent! My physical therapy needs are complicated and I bike and kayak 3-5x/week. She has created a fantastic at home routine for me. I have seen quick results due to her in session treatment and custom home work outs. She does a great job identifying your goals and matching that with her assessment of the problem. I highly recommend Dr. Lauren!

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about how sports physical therapy at Kinetic PR works? Here are answers to what athletes ask most.

Will you make me stop training?

No. We help you adjust your training so you can keep doing what you love while we address the root cause. Most people continue training throughout the process—we just modify load, volume, or positions as needed.

How long until I'm back to full training?

It depends on your injury, training history, and how your body responds. Some people notice improvement in a few sessions, while others need more time to rebuild mechanics and capacity. We'll give you a clear timeline after your evaluation.

Why choose cash-pay PT instead of using insurance?

Insurance-based PT often limits session length and forces you to see different providers. Cash-pay lets you work one-on-one with the same specialist for as long as it takes, with sessions built around your goals instead of billing codes.

Do you only work with competitive athletes?

No. We work with anyone who trains consistently and wants to keep training for life—whether you're competing in CrossFit, training for a marathon, or just want to lift heavy without pain.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Just yourself and any training logs or videos that help us understand your goals and current routine. We'll handle the rest during your evaluation.
