ABOUT PEAK 3
Peak 3 was founded in August 2022. After years of working and gaining experience rehabbing athletes and active people in Atlanta and Baltimore, it was time to bring high level sports rehab for athletes back home to Greenville.
Peak 3 is different from your typical Physical Therapy clinic. We’ve partnered with the Optimization Training Lab to provide patients with a space designed for athletes. A dedicated space for evaluations and hands on treatment. A full weight room to gain strength and power and 25 yards of turf where you can really get comfortable returning to your sport with confidence.
Our mission is to help you recover from injury, improve your health, and stay ready for what you love. At Peak 3 Sports Physical Therapy, we believe everyone is an athlete. You receive 1 on 1 personalized physical therapy and performance care that blends hands on treatment, comprehensive movement analysis, and progressive loading. We are committed to continuous improvement through movement, community, and clinical excellence.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
In Your First Session
STEP 1: EVALUATE
One on one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We review your history, test movement, strength, and mobility, and observe sport-specific tasks. The goal is clear: find the root cause of your pain or limitation.
STEP 2: EDUCATE
You’ll get an explanation of what is going on, why it happened, and how long recovery may take. We outline what to do, what to modify, and how to keep training safely
STEP 3: COLLABORATE
We set goals together and choose the best path for you: Physical Therapy, Performance Training, Virtual Rehab and Coaching, or an integrated plan. We confirm frequency, home actions, and how we will measure progress.
STEP 4: IMPLEMENT
Treatment begins on day one. Expect targeted exercise with smart loading strategies, mobility work, and manual therapy. Dry needling is used when appropriate. We consistently test, treat, and re-test. Then adjust the plan so you keep progressing.
