Sports Medicine in Charlotte

“Dr Grosso is amazing and Kasidi finishes my session by stretching me out. Love this place and the people.“

“Dr. Clay is phenomenal. Last spring, I developed some knee issues during my marathon training block. The team was able to identify the cause, provide treatment and gave me targeted exercises/workouts/tips that I was able to do outside of my sessions to help my recovery. The team is very knowledgeable, approachable, and eager to help. Any time I have something pop up, I will go back without question.“

“Crystal was very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Greg Ott's Physical Therapy and specifically Crystal to anyone looking for an excellent physical therapist.“

“Phoenix are the best, in the Charlotte area. They not only help you physically but are great in motivating and supporting you through a tough process. Always kind and considerate, I looked forward to my appointments each week, Thank you!!“

“Dr Maul is very helpful, pleasant and motivated to suggest exercises to alleviate back problems as a result of my golf game.“

“Years of terrible neck pain. After three month of work with Michael I can happily say I’m at 80% pain free. Was a little weary at first but trusting Michael is the best thing I have done.“

“I have two amazing physiotherapists, Jordan and Oliver. They are unbelievably on target with my therapy and constantly watch for signs I'm not in form. They explain my issues in such depth because I need to understand what I am doing, how to do it, and why I'm doing this movement. They have made me aware of issues, I have developed over time, that i need to correct. I thoroughly trust these two, and am amazed, at my age, I can feel a change for the better! Thank you Oliver and Jordon, I'm sorry I don't tell you how much I appreciate you both. And I also have to mention Grayson, at the front desk. She is just amazing at keeping that office and appointments running smoothly. She's the first I see, when I arrive, and the last as I walk out the door. Grayson, you are amazing! Shame be on Novant for not providing you an assistant! God bless y'all, Jon Palumbo“

“I am a primary care physician. 63 years old. I am also a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast that has had his share of injuries & strains, orthopedic surgeries, etc. Plus I am getting older so things don’t heal as fast, and have some joints with nagging arthritis. So as such, I have both referred patients to, and have been myself to, many physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic MDs, orthopedic surgeons, acupuncturists, deep tissue massage therapists, and others over the years. So when one of my osteopathic MD friends suggested I see Yusuf, I just couldn’t understand what he could do that all these others couldn’t do. But I finally went during the summer of 2021 because I had nagging hamstring strain that was not getting better. He was able to rehab that injury back to health. But he did it by focusing less on the injured tendons/muscles, and more on the surrounding muscles and tendons, strengthening those areas, improving pelvic asymmetry and posture, and providing stretching and strengthening exercises. This allows the injured area to heal more rapidly and naturally.

Yusuf was previously an NBA trainer (I believe for ~8yr) who decided to open his own business. But he also has had training and a lot of experience in multiple other disciplines related to sports medicine, rehabbing injuries, and “functional orthopedic biomechanics.” That is sort of my own term, but basically he knows how all the muscles, tendons and joints function and work together, and also how they can be out of sync with one another, thereby either creating new pains/injuries, or exacerbating existing injuries, or preventing the normal healing process. He is able to keenly assess what the problem is very quickly. He has superb knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and its functions. He is able to formulate a plan and will work with you until you no longer need him.

So I will just tell you some of the things he has successfully helped me with: The nagging hamstring strain I mentioned; nagging calf strain; persistent low back pain; medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow). I have decreased range of motion of my left shoulder from arthritis, which has limited some of the things I want to do. Through manipulation, stretching and proper muscle strengthening, he has improved my range of motion enough that I can do some things I was not able to do, and to improve my ability to lift weights (effectively and safely). I have some arthritis in my left knee that has hampered me. He has helped me strengthen my leg and core so my knee causes me less problems. He even helped train me to get in better shape and function better as a beginner/intermediate kiteboarder.

I believe Yusuf is not just for the athlete. If you are someone who has a persistent musculoskeletal pain that just won’t get better, or musculoskeletal problems that cause you functional limitations, it is probably worth seeing Yusuf to see if he can help. I highly recommend him!

“I've always had a great experience with OrthoCarolina, the staff has been great. I worked with them for a knee injury after falling off a scooter. We worked for 2 months to strengthen my knee and core. My knee is so much better. All the DPTs that I worked with were always friendly and professional. Again, thank you.“

“I have been seeing Dr. Lucas and his team for a year, and they have done a great job. I highly recommend him and his team.“
