ELITE ATHLETE BODYWORK • CHARLOTTE, NC
Your talent and hard work got you here. Your body decides how long you stay.
Most serious athletes slow down because their body breaks down — not because they lose their edge. I help you compete longer.
The Work
Justin Gatlin
Most sprinters retire by 30. I worked with Justin through two World Championships at 35 (Gold Medal) and 37 (Silver Medal) — when everyone said his career was over.
Baltusrol Golf Club
Director of Performance at a 7-time US Open venue. Working with some of the most serious golfers on the East Coast.
Tight End University
Hands-on bodywork for 50+ NFL tight ends over a three day event at George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Greg Olsen's annual invite-only training camp. Two consecutive years on the recovery team, 2024 and 2025.
Core Golf Academy
Director of Fitness at the full-time golf academy where Sean Foley — Tiger Woods' coach at the time — trained players. Hands-on bodywork and movement work for every student and pro coming through the program.
THE APPROACH
I don't chase symptoms.
I find what's actually causing the breakdown and fix it.
Most treatments address what hurts. That's why the problem keeps coming back. I identify the underlying movement pattern driving the issue — then correct it at the source.
WHO I WORK WITH
Golf Performance
Your coach sees the swing you need. I give your body the ability to make it. 3D swing analysis, movement assessment, and hands-on bodywork for competitive golfers in Charlotte.
Sport Performance
The best athletes invest in their bodies the way they invest in their training. Hands-on bodywork and movement correction for pro and elite athletes — from the same team that supports NFL tight ends and Olympic gold medalists.
Limited roster. Full attention.
One-on-one sessions every time
Guaranteed start dates
Quick-turnaround answers between sessions
Clear progress markers so you always know where you stand
I work with 10 athletes at a time. That's it.
Not because of capacity — because of commitment. The athletes I work with get my full focus, and that's only possible when the roster stays small.
About Joe
I'm a bodywork specialist and performance coach who has spent my career at the intersection of elite sport and human movement.
I've worked with Justin Gatlin — Olympic gold medalist and 100m World Champion — traveling with him to races and serving as part of his performance team. I've worked with NFL athletes preparing for the demands of a professional season.
I'm also the author of Better Stretching, published by St. Martin's Press (MacMillan) — one of the most respected names in publishing.
Now I'm bringing that same level of work to Charlotte.
I use QuantMove 3D motion analysis — technology used by elite performance facilities — to go beyond what any standard assessment can tell you. You'll know exactly what's limiting you and exactly what we're doing about it.
If you're serious about competing at a high level and keeping your body capable of doing it, let's talk.
Now taking clients in Charlotte.
I'm building a small, focused practice for serious athletes in the Charlotte area. If your body is the thing standing between you and the level you want to compete at, this is for you.
