Expert Foot Pain Physical Therapy in Charlotte, NC
Struggling with plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, or a nagging ankle injury? At PowerPhysio, our board-certified DPTs deliver one-on-one, root-cause care so you can run, train, and move without limits. No referral needed — just results.
Foot Pain Is Keeping You on the Sidelines
Whether it's your first step out of bed in the morning or the last mile of a race, unresolved foot pain doesn't just hurt — it chips away at everything you've worked for.
You've Tried Resting It
You took time off, iced it, stretched it — but the moment you lace up again, the pain comes back. Rest alone doesn't fix the root cause, and the cycle keeps repeating.
Generic PT Isn't Working
You've sat in a busy clinic, done the same band exercises, and still feel stuck. Cookie-cutter rehab doesn't account for how you train, move, or compete.
Your Goals Are Slipping Away
That marathon, that race, that next training block — foot pain is putting it all at risk. Every week without real answers is a week further from the performance you're after.

"Matt has been amazing through the whole process — calming the inflammation, rebuilding strength, and walking me through every phase of returning to the activity I love. He helped me get healthy enough to run the Berlin marathon when just 8 weeks before I couldn't run even a mile."

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.
