Physical Therapy at ActivEdge
Powered by Upright Athlete.
ActivEdge partners with Upright Athlete to provide physical therapy services designed around your body, your goals, and your path back to movement. Whether you are recovering from an injury, working through pain, or rebuilding confidence after a limitation, the Upright Athlete team provides focused care that meets you where you are.
Upright Athlete sees patients throughout the week, with appointments beginning as early as 7:00 AM and scheduling available as late as 6:00 PM. They are in-network with most major insurance companies serving the Triangle area and maintain working relationships with local orthopedic clinics, family physicians, and chiropractors.
In a healthcare landscape where many physical therapy clinics are moving toward higher volume and less individualized attention, Upright Athlete offers a more personal experience. Patients receive dedicated one-on-one care with a therapist who takes the time to understand their needs, limitations, goals, and lifestyle.
The department is led by Brian Diaz, who works with clients across a wide range of ages, diagnoses, injuries, and performance goals. Brian specializes in sports and orthopedic rehabilitation, using a blend of hands-on manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, functional movement, cross-training, and preventive programming.
His approach combines education from a top-ranked physical therapy program at the University of Iowa with advanced clinical skills developed through continued training, conferences, and clinics. Treatment may include manual therapy, myofascial release techniques, functional strengthening, sport-specific drills, and recovery-focused modalities.
For athletes ready to return to higher-level performance, Upright Athlete also incorporates advanced agility, strength, and sport-specific progressions to help bridge the gap between rehab and performance.
