Expert Physical Therapy in Durham You Can Trust

"Chris, Daniela and the team at Obstacle Doc are great! Chris has been helping me work through some shoulder issues that have plagued me for much of my adult life, and while I’ve done PT in the past, it has never created a lasting solution. Chris works to understand the specific motions, alignment, etc. that causes my “flare ups”. He helps me to understand why certain motions cause pain and what I can do to correct/adjust those motions so I can do all the things I want without worrying. I have no plans of slowing down anytime soon, and Chris is helping me along the way to stay active and pain free!”

"I have known Chris for 7 years now and Daniela more recently. I am continuously impressed by their depth of knowledge in their physical therapy practice as well as their dedication to their patients rehabilitation. As a fellow physical therapist, I frequently refer my patients to The Obstacle Doc and am confident that they will receive the best quality care imaginable. They take a very individualized approach and provide 1-on-1 attention to help patients eliminate pain and reach their physical goals. I highly recommend The Obstacle Doc to anyone seeking expert, personalized care for their rehabilitation and recovery."

"I had a great experience with Daniela at Obstacle Doc. She's such a pleasure to work with, and she helped me resolve an issue that I had almost given up hope on! Highly recommend."

"I was recommended The Obstacle Doc through a friend when I was struggling with some intense pain in my foot when trying to run in early 2023. Dr. Chris was awesome at helping me pinpoint why I may be having these issues when running and equipping me with the right exercises to be able to run pain-free. After only a few weeks of visits, I was seeing improvement in my abilities to run farther with significantly less pain in my foot. By June, I ran a 5-miler with no pain and now, I still see Dr. Chris for follow-ups every few months while training for a half marathon PAIN FREE! I've learned so much about running beyond my injury from Dr. Chris and feel well-equipped to crush my first half.”

"Dr. Danielle has been an absolute lifesaver in my journey to recovery from a gluteus medius injury on my right hip, as well as strengthening my feet following a foot injury. Her expertise and the remarkable technique of dry needling have made a world of difference in my healing process.”
