News & Updates

Advanced Foot & Ankle Center is pleased to welcome Rebecca Rice, PT, MSPT, ACT, to our practice. Rebecca is a physical therapist and athletic trainer who will bring another level of care to our current services.

Rebecca received a Master of Science in Physical Therapy, a Bachelor of Art in Kinesiology and Exercise Science, and a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences from the University of Kentucky. She also certified and licensed in Athletic Training.

Rebecca primarily specializes in orthopedic and sports physical therapy, with an emphasis placed on returning a person back to his or her sport as quick as possible.  She currently provides physical therapy to Red Bull Racing, Stewart Haas Racing, and Lake Norman High School. She has previously worked with athletes from the NBA, NFL, and the US Olympic whitewater team.  

Rebecca prefers manual “hands on” techniques to treat injuries. Manual techniques include stretching and strengthening the muscles, and mobilizing the joints, depending on the joint dysfunction. Manual therapy is often performed in addition to therapeutic exercises to restore normal movement.  

A unique technique that Rebecca utilizes is Scraping. This is a type of alternative soft tissue treatment to treat chronic tendonitis. It has been 80-90% success in the resolution of plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, in fewer visits than traditional physical therapy. It facilitates the body’s own healing process through controlled inflammation without the use of drugs. Rebecca is the only PT in the area performing Scraping.

Rebecca will see patients at 156 Byers Creek Road, Mooresville. Please call our office at (704) 662-3210 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
