Welcome to Biokinetics Rehab

Our focus is to determine the CAUSE of one’s dysfunction, not to just treat the SYMPTOMS.

We will use proven scientific interventions to normalize correct movement patterns, educate through training and repetition, restore proper mechanics, and work to eliminate improper techniques.

We don’t want you merely existing in life, we want you to be LIVING your best life.

We are not determining WHAT is wrong, but rather, WHY it is wrong

We are not relying on an image or a test to give a medical diagnosis. We are going to explore and evaluate how a person is completing their desired activities and determine what impairments and compensations are occurring which are causing further dysfunction.

In turn, we hope to develop a lifelong relationship with our clients so that they will return whenever they are having any challenges in completing their desired activities, even before pain and impairments present.

Healing in Action: Explore Our Approach to Biokinetics Rehab

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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."

Brian C

"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..."

"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..."
