Physical Therapy · Charlotte, NC
At Align, your appointment is yours alone. The same licensed therapist works with you from your first evaluation to your last visit — no double-booking, no hand-offs, no being left alone with a heat pack.
Most new patients are seen within two business days.
Why we work this way
Too many clinics book two or three patients per therapist, per hour. You get ten minutes of attention and a printed exercise sheet. Align was built the other way: one patient at a time, a therapist who knows what your knee did last Tuesday, and a plan you can read and follow at home.
How We Work →
Four areas of care, one standard: a full evaluation first, then a written plan with honest timelines. If we are not the right place for your problem, we will tell you at the first visit and point you to who is.
Recovery after joint replacement, ACL and meniscus repair, rotator cuff surgery, and spinal procedures — paced to your surgeon's protocol and your actual progress.
Sprains, strains, tendon pain, and overuse injuries — treated with an eye on the sport you want to get back to, not just the pain you want gone.
Persistent back and neck pain, sciatica, and stiffness from desk work. We find what is driving it, treat it hands-on, and teach you how to keep it from coming back.
Steadier walking, stronger legs, and more confidence at home and out in the world — for older adults and anyone recovering from a fall or a hospital stay.
STEP 1
Call or write. We will ask what hurts, when it started, and what you want to get back to — and book a full hour for your evaluation.
STEP 2
Your therapist explains what is going on in plain language and writes down the plan: what we will do, what you will do at home, and how long it should take.
STEP 3
Same therapist, every visit. We measure your progress as you go and adjust the plan when your body tells us to — not when a schedule says so.
These are not goals. They are how every appointment at Align runs, every day — and if we ever fall short, we want to hear about it.
Your therapist's schedule holds one name per hour: yours. You will never share your session with another patient.
The therapist who evaluates you treats you. If they are ever away, we reschedule or ask first — we never quietly swap.
Your plan fits on a page or two, in words you would use at the kitchen table. If a term needs explaining, it gets explained.
We test strength and movement along the way and show you the numbers, so you can see the plan working — or see that it needs changing.
"Six weeks after my shoulder surgery I was back at work. Same therapist every visit — she knew exactly where I had left off."

Denise W. · CharlotteThree licensed physical therapists. No aides running your session, no rotating cast — the person below is the person you will work with.
Founder · Post-Surgery Rehab
Fifteen years in orthopedic rehab. Maya started Align after a decade in hospital outpatient clinics, convinced patients recovered faster when one therapist owned the whole plan.
Sports Injuries · Return to Sport
A former college sprinter who now treats the injuries he used to get. Daniel runs Align's return-to-sport testing and works with runners and field-sport athletes across Charlotte.
Balance · Back & Neck Pain
Rachel leads the balance and fall-prevention program and treats persistent back and neck pain. Patients tend to describe her the same way: patient, precise, and honest.
Call or write to book an evaluation. We will ask a few questions, find you a full hour with the right therapist, and confirm everything in writing before your visit.
