Is Knee Pain Keeping You From the Activities You Love?

You're not alone. Many athletes in Mount Pleasant struggle with knee injuries that sideline their performance.

Can't Run Without Pain?

Knee pain has forced you to stop running, cut your workouts short, or give up the training routine that keeps you healthy and competitive.

Worried About Surgery?

You've been told you might need surgery for your ACL, meniscus, or patellar tendon injury, but you're searching for a non-surgical solution that actually works.

Frustrated With Slow Recovery?


You've tried general physical therapy, but the cookie-cutter approach isn't addressing your specific sport demands or getting you back to peak performance.

Why Mount Pleasant Athletes Choose Velocity Sports PT

After tearing my ACL and lateral meniscus in a skiing accident, I made the decision to pursue recovery without surgery. From day one, Emily Scott at Velocity Physical Therapy respected that choice and worked with me to design a tailored program. Eight months later, I have achieved a full recovery without invasive surgery. The outcome is a testament to Emily’s skill, flexibility, and genuine dedication to her patients’ goals.
