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.
In 2017, Justin Gatlin beat Usain Bolt at the World Championships in Bolt's final race.
WHAT ELITE ATHLETES KNOW
"Joe is one of the best in sports massage & bodywork. Happy to have him on my team and travel with me to my races."
Justin Gatlin
Olympic Gold Medalist · 100m World Champion
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.

You're a fit if:
You use performance bodywork as a non-negotiable training tool — not a luxury
You're a serious competitor (professional, collegiate, or elite amateur) who can't afford to guess with your recovery
You want someone who has worked at the highest levels of sport — not someone who learned it from a YouTube course
Your body is your business, and you're ready to treat it that way
Not a fit if:
You're looking for relaxation massage
You want a one-session fix without a structured approach
You want a therapist who just does what you ask — I'm going to tell you what your body actually needs, even when that's not what you expected to hear
You're price shopping. This is a premium program. If budget is the deciding factor, this isn't the right fit right now.
This isn't maintenance. This is performance infrastructure.
Who This Is For
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.
