Elbow Pain Is Holding You Back—It Doesn't Have To
Tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and chronic arm pain can sideline athletes, desk workers, and active adults alike. Here's what happens when it goes untreated.
Pain That Won't Quit
Persistent elbow aching, sharp pain with gripping, or tenderness that flares up with everyday tasks—and gets worse the longer you wait to address the root cause.
Losing Strength & Function
Weakened grip, limited range of motion, and the frustrating inability to lift, throw, type, or swing without wincing. Simple activities start to feel impossible.
Generic Care That Misses the Mark
Rest, ice, and generic stretches rarely fix the underlying movement dysfunction. Without targeted, expert-led therapy, elbow pain tends to return—or get worse.

-Jonathan M.
“As an athlete, I've experienced my share of injuries—torn muscles, broken bones, and ACL surgery—but my most chronic source of discomfort comes from AVN in my hips. I started with Rehab Pilates classes and quickly realized I had found my new home. Everything is hands-on and led with patience and understanding. Bridget and her team are truly amazing.“
-Julian G.
“I am having a great experience with Bridget at Balanced Physical Therapy & Pilates. The staff are all Drs. of Physical Therapy so they are professionals who are focused on healing, strengthening, and avoidance of injury. The Pilates classes are small and allow for individual attention. I highly recommend.“

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your first visit at Balanced PT & Pilates in Charlotte, NC.
Do I need a doctor's referral to start physical therapy?
No referral required. In North Carolina, you can start physical therapy directly without a physician's referral. Simply call us or book online to schedule your evaluation.
Do you accept health insurance?
Balanced PT & Pilates is a self-pay and out-of-network provider. We do not bill insurance directly; however, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients find this model delivers far better value—full 50-minute, one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, with no insurance-driven time limits or rushed appointments.
What is Rehab Pilates, and is it the same as regular Pilates?
Rehab Pilates is a small-group class taught directly by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. It is specifically designed for people recovering from injury or managing pain, with individualized modifications built in. Regular reformer and mat Pilates classes are available for general fitness and performance goals.
How small are the Pilates classes?
All semi-private Pilates classes are intentionally capped at just 4 students. This ensures every participant receives personalized attention and form corrections—making it a genuinely different experience from a standard fitness studio.
What is dry needling, and do you offer it?
Dry needling is a technique that uses fine needles to release myofascial trigger points, reduce pain, and restore movement. Dr. Julie Brace is a certified myofascial trigger point dry needling specialist (CMTPT/DN) and offers this service at Balanced PT & Pilates.
Do you treat elbow pain conditions like tennis elbow and golfer's elbow?
Yes. Our physical therapists treat a full range of elbow and upper extremity conditions, including tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), general elbow pain, and related arm, wrist, and shoulder issues. If you've been searching for elbow pain physical therapy near Charlotte, we'd love to help.
