I couldn’t be happier with my time at Raleigh Orthopaedic. I’ve trained with Will Parker, the performance coach, for 13 years now. The first ten of those years were training during my career as an NFL offensive lineman. Every year when I reported back for the season, I was at an advantage compared to my peers. I was stronger, healthier, and more prepared for the grind of an entire NFL season. Will’s attention to detail ensured that my workouts were personally tailored and that I was challenging myself with new numbers every single week. He always kept tabs on my injuries, and made specific plans to treat and strengthen any areas of concern. I’ve recommended Will to anyone that wants to be serious with strength and conditioning, and I can confidently say he will exceed anyone’s expectations for a coach, and for their own potential.
Response from the owner:We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of patient care and respect. Thank you for the positive feedback regarding our practice. We sincerely value all input!

I started training with Coach Will at Raleigh Orthopedic last summer dealing with knee problems, and wanting to get stronger. What sets Will apart is the balance. He pushes me hard every session but knows when to pull back. I never feel overworked, but I never feel like I'm coasting either. He still manages and strengthens my knee as a priority while keeping us locked in on the bigger picture we mapped out from day one. We built a full program around my goals as a basketball and football prospective college athlete, covering speed, agility, power, strength, and injury prevention. Will understands what it takes to develop high level athletes and does a great job explaining how each workout translates to live play. I trust his process completely. If you're looking for a trainer who actually pays attention to your body and has a plan, this is the guy.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5-star rating. We appreciate it!

After back surgery and rotator cuff tears, I lived with constant pain and felt limited in what I could do. I was especially afraid to hike because I didn't trust my stability anymore. Working with Will for the past 10 months has truly improved my quality of life. He took the time to teach me how to perform exercises correctly so I could build strength without aggravating my shoulder or back. He's incredibly patient, explains the purpose behind each exercise, and always found ways to keep the program engaging. The results have been life-changing. My daughter has commented on the tremendous difference she's seen in me. I'm hiking again, and I've even gone ziplining and whitewater rafting—things I never thought I'd be able to do again. Best of all, I now have the knowledge and confidence to work out safely on my own. At 53 years old, I can honestly say Will helped me get my life back. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely caring trainer.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. We strive for excellence!

Super grateful for the help I got from Noah and the team at Raleigh Orthopaedic Performance Center. They accurately diagnosed the sources of my pain, helped me treat them, and gave me exercises to incorporate into my routine that have completely prevented any recurrence of those overuse injuries that I'd just been suffering through for ages. Super competent professionals and a great atmosphere here, can't recommend highly enough.

I had a major surgery and when I saw how little mobility I had after the duty I was incredibly worried. Jennifer has been absolutely amazing and my mobility has recovered in leaps and bounds. My Dr suggested surgery on my other leg next year. I’ll be requesting Jennifer again when I do.
