How does Physiotherapy work?
Our Physiotherapy team here in Charlotte helps take care of patients in all phases of healing, from initial diagnosis through the restorative and preventive stages of recovery. Physiotherapy may be a standalone option, or it may support other treatments.
Some patients are referred to our physical therapist by their doctor, but others seek therapy on their own. Whichever way a patient comes to see our physical therapy team, they can expect to:
Undergo a physical exam and evaluation, including a health history and certain testing procedures, including evaluation of posture, movement and flexibility, and of muscle and joint motion and performance
Receive a clinical diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care and short and long term goals
Receive physical therapy treatment and intervention based on the therapist’s evaluation and diagnosis
Receive self-management recommendations
Patients often train with our physical therapist in our Charlotte clinic working on exercises that they can do at home, to help them function more effectively.
What to Expect During Physiotherapy
Our Physiotherapists in Charlotte use many different techniques to help you decrease pain and stiffness, improve motion and strength, and improve mobility. Physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation may be used. Manual techniques are often used to help improve mobility.
Therapeutic exercise is often used by physical therapists to help people gain range of motion, increase strength, and improve function. Patient education about a condition or illness is paramount to the practice of physical therapy, and therapists may use charts, models, and diagrams to help you understand your diagnosis and prognosis.
You may also be given modifications to make or exercises to do at home.

“I have endured an 18 year headache due to a car accident. I’ve visited multiple Chiropractors over the years with no change to my issue. I’m now seeing there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. The care that I am receiving is unmatched. I no longer have a constant headache. I recommend coming here for Chiropractic care if you desire to get better.”

“I found Dr. Schumann at the Taste of Charlotte a few weeks back, and it has completely turned everything around for the better. I have had chronic pain in my low back, hip, leg, and groin since November of 2025 (~7 months unresolved). I went to orthopedic doctors, physiologists, physical therapists and more in that time frame — no one was able to give me a concrete or definite source of my pain — if anything, I was thrown around a million different diagnoses and treatments. I’m a healthy, active 26 y/o and had no prior injury. Very quickly (when I say fast, I mean with scans evaluated during our FIRST consult) Dr. Schumann was able to identify that I’ve had a pinched nerve at my S1. I’ve been following his plan for the last two weeks and have already felt relief that I completely forgot exists. I can proudly say that I am no longer in chronic pain, while I experience minimal flares as we work to fully resolve the issue. I plan to continue treatment until my spine is realigned. Whether you’re in need of immediate relief, long term relief, or someone that will affirm you are not crazy and there is a source to your pain — Chiropractic Fitness is the place to go (and Dr. Schulman’s team is absolutely phenomenal and so helpful).”
