Conquer Movement Physical Therapy & Performance

"I came to Conquer Movement after almost two years of being in significant pain from a herniated disk/sciatica. I didn’t want to go under the knife so I tried everything from epidural steroid injections, radio frequency ablation, and other PT clinics that would pass me off to a tech after the first session and give me the standard back pain protocol that usually consisted of light stretches and heating pads and nothing worked. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and when I discovered Conquer Movement, the idea of being treated by Doctors that were also athletes and understood what i was going through appealed to me. Dr. Eliza’s programming has significantly improved my quality of life, and gotten me back to feeling like an athlete again. I’ve been able to work out regularly, and do movements I had all but given up on. I’m not totally out of the woods yet but after only a couple months, I went from almost giving up to to becoming mostly pain free and enjoying all the things I used to from hard Brazilian Jiu jitsu training sessions to simply walking my dogs around the block, a task that would leave me on the ground just 3 months ago. I can’t thank them enough."

"I had an amazing experience at Conquer movement. Eliza took me from having severe pain in my shoulder to being able to lift more weight prior to my injury. Eliza gave great insight and knowledge into the areas of my injury and how it affected me in different portions of my life. She stated that her goal for me in the beginning was to not only get back to normal, but to be able to do more without any concern of my injury. I believe that goal was accomplished and is the biggest reason that I would recommend anybody to use Conquer Movement. The week to week conversations and exercises feel very personalized to each individual. I am so glad I chose Conquer and Eliza for my physical therapy journey!"

"I can't begin to describe what a difference Dr. Steve has made in my recovery journey. After a fractured talus and throughout three rounds of physical therapy at various other locations, I hit a nearly year-long plateau of non-improvement which I had convinced myself that I could not get past. At that point, I had settled on living with long-term chronic pain and extreme stiffness in my ankle. I then decided to pull the trigger on Conquer Movement after they set up a table at my gym, and just after an hour evaluation with Dr. Steve, he had me in the best shape I had been since my injury. Fast forward to a few months later working one-on-one with him weekly and I'm nearly back at 100% which I never thought possible. I'm now back to daily intense workouts, running, biking, and the sports I love without the pain and stiffness that had plagued me before. Dr. Steve doesn't just fix the problem - he will show you the problem and explain in-depth what causes it, how to fix it, and how to maintain that fix for the long-term future in a way that makes sense and is sustainable. For me, I now have an arsenal of equipment and exercises as well as a deep understanding of the symptoms I have and how best to resolve them with the techniques we've gone over. Outside of that, the staff at Conquer Movement is absolutely excellent and some of the nicest people (and dog) I've met. I cannot recommend going enough. If you're on the fence like I was at first, just do it, you absolutely won't regret it!"

"I'm incredibly grateful for Eliza and the team at Conquer Movement. Eliza's expertise and commitment to my progress were evident from day one. She took the time to understand my specific goals, tailoring each session to address them. Her guidance on proper form, technique, and exercises has been invaluable. Thanks to her, I now work out with confidence and without the fear of injury. I can't emphasize enough how much of a difference this has made in my life in overcoming recurring back injuries and regaining my confidence in working out. If you're looking for a team that genuinely cares about your well-being and success, I highly recommend Conquer Movement. It's been a life-changing experience, and I'm excited to see where my fitness journey takes me with their ongoing support and expertise!"

"Conquer Movement has exceeded my expectations as usual, as head coach of the highest level of gymnastics offered here in Wilmington, I have spent years looking for a place that would treat the girls as athletes. I have been working closely with Conquer Movement for the last 18 months and 5 of my high-level athletes just finished a 12-week strength training class with them. Not only did they learn a lot about proper technique and form but they were challenged to try new things and push themselves, while simultaneously being constantly encouraged and supported throughout the workouts. The girls loved their experience and our team will continue to work with Conquer Movement for years to come!"
