Physical Therapy

Physical therapists find the root cause of your pain or dysfunction and guide you through the process of fixing it. We use hands on techniques, exercises and education.


Acupuncture

Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians.

Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced "chee") through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health.

Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a variety of conditions. Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner's hands or with electrical stimulation.


Massage Therapy

Performed by a licensed massage therapist, massage therapy involves using different pressures, movements and techniques to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues in the body. With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness.

Growing up I played almost every sport and enjoyed outdoor activities such as snowboarding and kayaking. After needing physical therapy for different sports injuries (ACL repairs, fractures, sprains) I knew that I wanted to be a physical therapist by the time I was a senior in high school. While playing tennis for Bellarmine University and then University of Tennessee Chattanooga, I earned my undergraduate degrees in Biology and Rehabilitation Science.

I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at UTC in 2010. Because of my background in sports, I focused my early career on treating athletes and the active population and became a Sports Clinical Specialist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Now 14 years into my career, I have developed a broader understanding of activity. While I still enjoy treating competitive athletes of all levels and ages, I also appreciate the importance of helping everyone achieve the highest quality of active life they can. And I love helping them get there. I utilize a variety of manual techniques, exercise programs, and functional movements to help patients get back to what they love to do. For close to 13 years I have served Weaverville and the surrounding communities, which means I have communicated with a lot of doctors in this region.

Outside of work, you can find me squeezing in short runs in downtown Weaverville or doing a variety of outdoor recreational activities and sports with my husband and two kids.

Chris Power, DPT,CSCS started his career path in Exercise Science, earning his BS from University of North Florida in 2011. He spent several years working with athletes of all levels and earned his Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification through the NSCA. He then earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from University of St. Augustine, a rigorous program known for manual therapy techniques.

Because of Chris’s background in both exercise and manual therapy, he is able to use manual therapy when appropriate while also guiding his patients through skillfully selected exercises to be as strong and fit as possible. Chris’s treatment approach is grounded in research based guidelines and protocols. Chris gently pushes his patients to explore their true functional capacity through exercise. In doing so he consistently gets results that surprise his patients and even the other Big Ivy therapists.

Chris excels at treating:

-Weightlifters

-Golfers

-Athletes

-Older adults who want to be more capable but are limited by pain or chronic injuries

-Shoulder injuries

-Neck injuries

He is a proud father to his son Gus and husband to his high school sweetheart Lauren, is a cancer survivor, avid outdoor adventurer, and Land Rover enthusiast and driving instructor. When not at work, he can be found hiking with his family (including his dogs Huck and Scout), or riding horses on the farm. He is a proud Jacksonville Jaguars fan (someone has to do it), and a member of the US Soccer supporters Club known as the American Outlaws, and just a general fan of sports.

Here’s what patients have to say about working with Chris

>“Chris put together a plan for me that included physical therapy AND personal training. We worked together for 6 weeks getting my hip into shape before my trip. He also taught me ongoing exercises to do at home and the gym on how to KEEP my hip in shape. Who knew! Physical Therapy inside a gym! Thank you Chris!”

>“Chris, the PT was excellent. He did a great assessment and gave me exercises to help my chronically stiff neck/shoulders. He was very communicative and gave helpful feedback. I am now going to start attending strengthening/stretching classes for folks over 50. Can’t wait. Thanks for great PT services.”

>“Best physical therapy anywhere!! Wish I hadn’t wasted a few months going somewhere else!! Very helpful and knowledgeable!!!”
