TESTIMONIALS

My name is William Everett and I am a pitcher at the University of North Carolina - Wilmington. I came to Biokinetics Rehab at the beginning of the summer with elbow and shoulder pain. I have been to multiple other physical therapists before with these same issues. Within the first 5 minutes of my first session with Dr. Smith he provided me with a new diagnosis I had not heard before. He had figured out that my elbow pain was due to tightness in my neck. I was skeptical at first but after one session of him working on my neck my elbow pain got better and I knew that he was absolutely correct. I went to Dr. Smith 3 times a week for the entire summer. Within the first three weeks my elbow pain was gone. Not long after that I had no shoulder pain either. After my pain was gone we spent the rest of the summer getting stronger and healthier. Since working with Dr. Smith I can confidently say that I am the strongest, healthiest, and best player I have ever been. I had a great fall season at UNCW and I can confidently say I couldn't have done it without the help of Dr. Smith. Not only is he incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable about the human body, exercise, and helping those with pain, but he is a great guy that is fun to be around and always provides great conversation throughout the sessions. He was constantly giving me great advice for when I go to college and teaching me many new things. He has a top of the line facility with everything you could possibly need. Going to Biokinetics Rehab was one of the best decisions I made in my playing career and I look forward to continuing to work with him every time I come back from college.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Jeffrey Smith at Biokinetics Rehab. Hickory truly has a gem in Dr. Smith.

After undergoing back surgery last July, I continued to experience pain in my lower back and sciatic nerve both on and off the tennis court.

Previous rounds of physical therapy had not effectively addressed these issues, leaving me hesitant to play due to the intense pain I felt with certain movements.

Dr. Smith's personalized approach and expertise truly made a difference in my recovery journey. From the warm welcome I received upon arrival to the thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan, I knew I was in good hands.

Thanks to Dr. Smith and the team at Biokinetics rehab, I am back on the tennis court pain-free and able to fully enjoy the sport I love. If you are in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Jeffrey Smith. You will not be disappointed with the care and results you receive.

When I first came to Biokinetics Rehab, I was hesitant about seeking Physical Therapy. I had a major tournament coming up, and I was afraid a PT would tell me not to play.

From the very first conversation, Jeff was focused on getting me to game time. The best part about working with Jeff was that we never focused on what I couldn’t do - we just leaned into what I could do and how I could improve it. He listened to my performance needs and my physical limitations, and devised new and creative ways to build resiliency. Every session was different, and designed just for me. I left feeling stronger and more confident in my body’s ability to deliver when I needed it most.

Jeff has been my go-to physical therapist for many years. As a clinician myself, I would choose no other person than Jeff to treat me. He has seen me through repetitive neck injuries, surgeries, shoulder injuries, foot injuries, you name it. Jeff is an amazing clinician, but he is also a great listener, empathetic, & attentive to detail. I am so fortunate to have care delivered by Jeff’s expert skills.

I went to see Jeff for my three bulging discs. He listened and was attentive to my issues.

I came to him full of discouragement due to a visit with another office in the area. I felt I’d never be able to CrossFit or run again.

Jeff and I spoke in detail, came up with a plan, and how to implement that plan. He gave me multiple exercises and stretches. He gave me hope.

After my last visit with him, I became more disciplined in doing my exercises and stretches. I stuck with my core work I’d already been doing, and was able to get back to CrossFit and running again. 

That was around two years ago and I’m still doing CrossFit and running!  I’m extremely grateful for Jeff’s help!

My name is Lauren Jackson and I tore my ACL three different times in high school. I had the pleasure of having Jeff Smith as my physical therapist for two of my nine month rehabs and I am so glad I did. I was a bit of a limit pusher and he was great with handling my hyper "never want to rest" character. He understood when to push me and have me work on challenging tasks. He also encouraged me to rest or take a break just when I needed it.

I enjoyed working with him through my recovery journeys. Over 6 years has gone by since my last injury and I have never felt better! I highly recommend him for anyone in need of a physical therapist, young or old! He is professional and has a great personality filled with enthusiasm and positivity that anyone going through therapy benefits from. Thank you Jeff!

In April of 2021, I tore my ACL and fractured my knee playing soccer at the collegiate level. As this was a very hard time for myself mentally and physically i was so lucky to have the pleasure of getting to do my physical therapy with a therapist as great as Jeff.

 He was a fantastic trainer that helped me get back to my best physically as well as mentally with being such a great presence to be around. 

Even though this was not an easy process, knowing that I was walking into a positive and professional environment with Jeff and the rest of the crew, made it all better.

I would definitely recommend Jeff as a trainer/therapist of any kind to any athletes looking to get back on the field in a timely manner and be at 100%.

Finding Jeff Smith as a physical therapist was a gift. 

Both pre and post shoulder surgery he was 100% dedicated to my recovery during every single session … and there were a lot.  After working with other physical therapists prior to Jeff I found his ability to think outside the box refreshing.  Not only did he care about getting me back to an acceptable level of performance but also discussed achievable goals for increasing my level of performance.  He was a great listener, coach, and motivator. 

Thanks to his application of both traditional and non-traditional methods to accommodate my needs, I have been able to surf well into my sixties.  I could recommend no greater person to have on your team.

Dr. Jeff Smith helped me with a nerve issue in my shoulders that has limited my ability to practice aerial silks and do upper body exercises for the past two years. After going to Biokinetics Rehab for a couple of months I am now able to do exercises that I had to avoid for the past year. I am happy with the progress I have made so far and will come back to Biokinetics in case of any future issues. His approach to physical therapy is perfect for young athletes preparing for a competition, grandparents who want to be able to sit on the ground with their grandchildren, and everyone in between.

Did 8 weeks of PT for frozen shoulder.  When I started I could barely move that arm and had lost of pain.  I was pretty skeptical going in.  It was so bad that I didn't really think it could be corrected with just PT.  My physical therapist was Jeff Smith.  Right from my initial consultation with him I felt that I was in the care of a real professional.  He did a great job explaining everything and laid out a plan of what he thought it would take to get me better.  We accomplished everything he laid out and I am back to 100%.  He also made me feel like his goal was for me to get better as soon as possible, not to keep stringing me along so they could make more money off of me.
