What's Really Holding Back Your Performance?
You're dealing with frustrating elbow pain that keeps interrupting your progress and stealing your confidence.
Nagging Pain That Won't Quit
You've tried rest, ice, and generic stretches, but the pain keeps coming back every time you return to the gym or the mat. The cycle of setbacks is exhausting and you're tired of starting over.
Fear of Making It Worse
You're worried that one wrong move could sideline you for months. The uncertainty keeps you from the lifts, throws, and movements you used to do with complete confidence.
Generic Rehab That Doesn't Stick

"I am so grateful for the help I received at Power Physio. I came in with pain in my shoulder/rotator cuff area and was not having any luck with at home rehab.
Jordan was amazing! After just one visit I started feeling relief and was able to get back into the gym. He listened carefully to my concerns and quickly worked out a plan of how to get me back on track. He was able to get me to a point I was feeling almost back to 100% and was finally able to sleep through the night without any pain.
I can’t thank Jordan and the team enough for all their help and would highly recommend Power Physio to anyone on the fence about PT!"

Dr. Jordan Rodrigues is a North Carolina native raised in Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks. From surfing, skating, and skimboarding to wrestling, football, and lacrosse, Jordan grew up with a very active lifestyle—one that taught him the important link between physical activity and mental and physical well-being.
For college, Jordan traversed the state to Boone, NC, to study Exercise Science at Appalachian State University. It was there that he found a passion for long-distance and trail running.
After graduating, Jordan earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Winston-Salem State University. He then moved to Charlotte to begin his career.
He states:
“Your body is capable of more than you’d ever believe—but accessing its potential requires the right approach. My aim is to help you uncover the user manual for your own body, so that you can take control of your health and stay active for life.”
Jordan’s years as a PT have been spent helping people from all walks of life. And no matter the circumstance, they all want the same thing: to feel and move better. Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to get stronger, or just want to move pain-free, his approach focuses on sustainable progress. This helps his clients gradually bridge the gap between who they are and who they want to become.
When not helping clients, you can find Jordan running with his four dogs, training jiu-jitsu, gardening, or out on the disc golf course. He aims to practice what he preaches—staying active in the ways he enjoys—and he’s here to help you do the same.

Most athletes notice improvements within 2-3 weeks, with significant progress in 6-10 weeks depending on the severity and root cause.
