Cory Blake, DPT 
Physical Therapist

Cory grew up in Lincolnton, North Carolina, where he fostered a love for sport and competition from a young age. After graduating college, he continued to pursue this love for competition through working out at a CrossFit gym. Before long, he was entrenched in the culture, and decided to sit for his L1 coaching certification, then 6 months later, sit for his L2.  Through coaching CrossFit, he was able to combine his love for fitness and education into a coaching style that

helps people actualize their goals and advocate for themselves in the process. Through CrossFit, Cory made many connections in the fitness and healthcare industry within the greater Charlotte area, ultimately leading him to pursue physical therapy as a profession.

Cory graduated with his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from South College in Knoxville, Tennessee. He embodies a “fitness forward” mentality to treatment that helps clients return to sport, hobby, or any other prior level of function; approaching care from a different angle than what is commonly seen within the industry. At the same time, he is well versed in manual techniques ranging from manipulation and mobilization to dry needling and cupping.

Outside of work, you can catch Cory coaching at his CrossFit gym, going for a run, perfecting his Olympic lifting technique, or hiking local trails with his wife and their Great Pyrenees mix named Beau. He also enjoys attending continuing education courses in order to stay up to date on best practices in order to provide the best treatment possible.
