Performance-focused physical therapy for active adults who refuse to let pain slow them down. Get personalized 1-on-1 care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy and return to the activities you love—without surgery, injections, or medications.

You're paying for expert care but spending most of your session with aides or assistants who follow a generic protocol. You deserve a Doctor of Physical Therapy's full attention every single visit.

You've tried traditional physical therapy before, but the pain keeps coming back because no one took the time to find and fix the root cause. You need a comprehensive approach that addresses why you're injured, not just where it hurts.

You're an active person who refuses to accept that surgery, injections, or giving up your favorite activities are your only options. You want to get stronger, move better, and return to your sport without compromising your long-term health.

Elite Movement Specialists offers performance-based physical therapy that treats you like the athlete you are. We don't just eliminate pain—we help you move better, perform stronger, and prevent future injuries so you can keep doing what you love.

Your Doctor of Physical Therapy spends a full hour identifying the root cause of your injury—not just treating symptoms. We assess your movement patterns, strength, and mobility to create a complete picture of what's holding you back.

Every session is designed around your specific goals, whether you're returning to running, golf, weightlifting, or weekend warrior activities. Your DPT uses hands-on manual therapy, corrective exercises, and advanced techniques like dry needling to accelerate your recovery.

We don't just get you out of pain—we help you stay out of pain. You'll learn injury prevention strategies, movement optimization techniques, and performance training to ensure you come back stronger and more resilient than before.
Elite Movement Specialists treats active adults dealing with a wide range of orthopedic and sports-related injuries. Whether you're managing chronic pain or recovering from an acute injury, our Doctors of Physical Therapy have the expertise to help.
I cannot recommend Josh Beagle at Elite Movement Specialists enough! Today at work I popped my neck, and it immediately tightened up to the point where I could barely move. Josh knew exactly what was going on and how to fix it. Through targeted exercises, dry needling, and cupping therapy, I went from having almost no movement in my neck to gaining so much mobility back in just one session. It was such a great experience, and I'm beyond grateful for his expertise and care.
Josh and Paige are both congenial, professional and very helpful. I have been a patient of Josh for many years. He has helped me avoid medication, surgery and improved my quality of life thru strength training and dry needling. I highly recommend if you have a frozen shoulder or foot pain to give him a visit!!
I came in with 5 years of lingering lower back pain and recent shoulder sport injuries that had been holding me back from feeling my best. Josh took the time to really listen, understand my history, and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to my needs. His expertise, encouragement, and hands-on techniques made a huge difference. After working with him, I've experienced relief I didn't think was possible, and my mobility has improved dramatically.

Everything you need to know about sports physical therapy near me
We provide true 1-on-1 care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for your entire session—no handoffs to assistants or aides, and no double-booking. You'll work exclusively with Josh or Paige from start to finish. Plus, you have 24/7 access to your therapist between sessions via text or call. Our out-of-network model means we prioritize quality care over insurance quotas, giving you the personalized attention you deserve.
Elite Movement Specialists operates as an out-of-network provider, which allows us to deliver the highest quality care without insurance company restrictions. While we don't bill insurance directly, we can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find that the personalized 1-on-1 care and faster recovery times make it a worthwhile investment. Contact us at (478) 332-6828 to discuss pricing and payment options.
Your first visit is a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. We'll discuss your injury history, goals, and what's been holding you back. Your DPT will perform a thorough movement assessment to identify the root cause of your pain—not just treat symptoms. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's wrong, a personalized treatment plan, and often feel relief after the very first session.
Yes, dry needling is extremely safe when performed by certified professionals like our Doctors of Physical Therapy. Both Josh and Paige are Cert DN certified. The thin, sterile needles are inserted into tight muscles or trigger points to stimulate healing, increase blood flow, and reduce pain. Most patients describe a brief sensation when the needle hits the trigger point, followed by immediate muscle relaxation. Many of our patients request dry needling because they experience such dramatic relief.
Every session at Elite Movement Specialists is a full hour of dedicated 1-on-1 time with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Unlike traditional clinics where you might see a therapist for 10-15 minutes, you receive hands-on manual therapy, corrective exercises, and personalized attention for the entire session. This comprehensive approach leads to faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.
