About KCP Physical Therapy

I want to give a big shout out to KCP physical therapy. A year ago I had a rotator cuff and biceps tendon repair and everyone there helped me thru the recovery. Joyce with her stretches, education and keeping me on task. Joy with her magic hands when I needed deep tissue work. And the wonderful team who hooked me up to the electric stim and heavenly ice packs. There is no other PT group who gives so much of themselves, never makes you feel like a number, and always makes you feel better. Eventually I transitioned to their wonderful personal training making my arms and the rest of my body stronger. KCP even offers their training classes virtually for this pandemic! Now here I am today, back with my swim team. Training/swimming with paddles and no fins. Best of all, NO shoulder PAIN. KCP deserves more than 5 stars. They are simply, outstanding!

“We are a family that love sports and are very physically active! So seven years ago , when our son, a distance runner, suffered a foot injury at a critical point in his cross country season, we were thankful to be referred to KCP Physical Therapy!  The quick assessment and treatment of the injury enabled him to continue running through his high school and college years.

Since then, every one of us has come to KCP to see Joy and Joyce for help when we experience issues that prevent us from participating in the sports that we love.  Even my parents, who live five hours away, come to Charlotte to see Joy and Joyce .  I tell anyone who talks to me about something that causes them pain about how much KCP has made a difference in our lives.  I say, “Just call KCP!””

You got me back on my feet not once but 3 times! Thank you is not sufficient!

In the weeks after the birth of my first child I experienced 24 hour lower back and hip pain.   The pain was so debilitating that it caused me to limp when I walked and have difficulty lifting my baby.  Luckily, Joyce Kight changed my life dramatically.  For several months she provided excellent physical treatment and emotional support, eliminating my pain and fears.  When I once again experienced severe back pain after the birth of my second child, I knew who to call.  Joyce to the rescue!  After a few months of frequent treatments I was back to being the active, roll around on the floor kind of mom that my girls need.

I highly recommend Joyce Kight and KCP Physical Therapy.  The facility is great, treatment is effective, and I don’t have to worry about bringing my girls with me because the women who work there are always willing and excited to soothe a crying baby or distract an antsy toddler while I am being treated.  After almost three years of on-and-off treatments they are like my family and I actually miss having regular appointments.  Thank you to Joyce and all of the staff members!  You truly change people’s lives!

KCP has been treating me, my husband and our two daughters, ages 18 and 23, for 6+ years.  Even though each of us have been treated for different problems ranging from lower back, shoulder, ribs and neck problems, we have all been very pleased with the lasting relief we have received from their treatments.  If you are looking for a physical therapy group that will provide effective and professional care in a warm and caring environment, we highly recommend KCP.

“The BEST! I was referred by my doctor a few years ago for various issues. KCP helped with my back, neck and shoulder problems. I was so impressed with my progress that I have stayed with them to improve my overall health, through training and yoga. I had gone to other physical therapy practices in the past, but found them impersonal. Joy, Joyce and the entire staff make everyone feel very welcome. I look forward to my appointments!”

Well it takes a village!!!!! So late August of 2016 I cut my tendon and nerve in my thumb and had it surgically repaired by an awesome hand surgeon named Dr. Lois Osier. Through just some dumb bad luck I developed CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) in my left hand. Luckily my hand therapist the amazing Susan Crawford Aiken caught this and helped me try to get beyond it. It got to the point where I was on two drugs to combat this problem and I had three sellite ganglion blocks. Essentially my brain (parasympathetic nerve system) was sending bad messages to my hand causing debilitating pained function to the hand. The thumb was getting better due to all Susan’s therapy, but the hand known as Hannah always hurt. Finally the discomfort leveled off to a 2 and sometimes a 4 daily and I took myself off the drugs this past July kinda giving up and resigned to the fact that this is the way it was going to be. There are plenty of people that live with far worse chronic pain than what I had, but this was new. Lately the stinging, burning, swelling started to ramp up. I had been working with Joyce Kight (MSA swimmer) on a couple other things related to a spill and goofy stuff that happens when you get older. She mentioned taking a dry needling course and I wondered if this could potentially help my problem. Drugs are not for me. She got certified and game on. This was trigger point type therapy and I read a lot leading up to the appointment because I am a curious person. The needling can be quite unpleasant but I bought into the goals and understood the purpose. Amazing results……far exceeding expectations for one treatment. As I was driving home 20 minutes after my appointment the pain (burning, prickly, tight) left my hand like I exhaled it out of my body. The skin on my left hand felt normal for the first time in a year and a half. I almost pulled over to cry……my whole energy level and sense of well-being has changed since I had three trigger points that spoke to the hand worked on. Forever grateful to my village and new team member Joyce Kight and KCP Physical Therapy!

I have suffered from migraines since I was 5 yrs old and have been to everyone from neurologists to a hypnotist for help.  Joy has been my savior!  My migraines have significantly improved since seeing Joy. Not only are my migraines less frequent, but after being worked on by Joy I just feel better overall. Everyone at the office is so incredibly nice, and super accommodating to the fact that I have to bring my 3 young children with me; to the point where my girls get so excited on PT days. Thank you so much KCP, we love you!

KCP has been helping me for years! As an “aging athlete” I sometimes need help with a muscle or tendon injury. I get the care I need at KCP that keeps me active. I also learn how to avoid future injuries to minimize downtime from my workouts! The personal training I’ve received at KCP has really helped with this too! Thanks for everything Joy and Joyce!
