300+ Five-Star Reviews Don’t Happen by Accident
Change the Game Performance Therapy has officially surpassed 300 five-star Google reviews, a milestone that places the clinic among the most trusted physical therapy and sports performance providers in Wilmington, NC.
In healthcare, reviews aren’t about marketing flair — they’re about results, consistency, and patient experience. Reaching this level of trust means hundreds of people completed care, saw progress, and felt confident enough to publicly recommend the team.
What consistently shows up across these reviews is a clear pattern:
-
Root-cause evaluations
-
Individualized plans of care
-
Strong communication
-
Real performance and lifestyle outcomes
Below are three real patient success stories that highlight why so many patients choose Change the Game — and stay.
Patient Success Story #1: From Quad Tear to Personal Records
“If you are looking for trainers and PTs who know what they are doing, look no further! My teenage daughter is a runner and had a quad tear last year. After going to multiple doctors, resting for weeks, PT and then a visit to Duke she wasn’t getting any pain relief. I was starting to feel helpless as a Mom. I felt like I had to follow our doctor and health insurance protocol. Her running coach suggested we give this place a call, I was skeptical. After a few weeks of PT with Dr. Ethan she was feeling better than she had in months. She loves the coaches and they are very easy to communicate with. She has continued strength training with Coach Brian and this season continuously set new PRs at each meet! She has gone for dry needling before competitions and it has reduced soreness dramatically. The results speak for themselves! We couldnt be happier! Highly recommend Dr. Ethan and Coach Brian!”
This story reflects a common theme at Change the Game: athletes who feel stuck after traditional routes finally finding clarity, relief, and performance gains — all under one roof.
Patient Success Story #2: Chronic Thumb Pain and Getting Life Back
“Doctor Ethan gave me hope back that it is possible to get my thumb chronic inflammation down and back to being able to do what I love. I have faith he and the exercises will get me back to where I want to be at. I am excited for this journey and to get my thumb back after connecting with him. Highly recommend this place if you want a high chance at getting your life back or in this case, my thumb. He is as thorough as they come and I have no doubt myself or anyone else would be happy with the results by the end of treatment.”
– Christian F
Chronic issues often come with frustration and doubt. This review highlights what patients consistently describe: thorough evaluations, clear plans, and renewed confidence in recovery.
Patient Success Story #3: Strength, Conditioning, and Confidence
“I started training with Brian to get stronger and conditioned for beach volleyball, and it ‘s been the best! The workouts are varied, challenging, and never feel repetitive. He always takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense, and he’s super encouraging. So happy I made the decision to train here!”
