Xcel Movement and Performance

Experiencia fantástica: Brian helped me understand the gaps in my training and things that led to my current situation. He helped me formulate a plan not just for the interim but for the future.

Experiencia fantástica: I train 4x per week and was experiencing some hip and shoulder issues limiting my progress. Xcel helped me quickly overcome nagging pains and improved my performance. I never missed a workout! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Being going for general maintenance and assist on injuries. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Campbell is the ONLY physical therapist I trust to get me moving well and injury-free. He's helped me through a partial calf tear, back injury and knee injury. All of which felt dooming to me when they happened. But with Brian's assessment and treatment, I've not only made a full recovery but we also corrected the root of the issues. As an athlete it's important to work with people who understand what you do and know how to best help you. His expertise and professionalism are unmatched. I highly, highly recommend him for prevention and treatment of injuries.

Experiencia fantástica: Xcel Movement is AMAZING!! Brian rehabbed my shoulder so I could get back to doing WOD’s in CrossFit.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Campbell has been the only professional who has been able to help me with chronic back problems. I’ve been to everyone multiple chiros, doctors, pts. Dr. Brian has given me easy protocols that have changed my life.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been passionate about running and endurance athletics for most of my life. Marathons and ultramarathons and long bike weekends… And I was bulletproof until my 30s hit me hard. It seems like all my bad habits came collecting at once. I went to several doctors and PTs over the course of a couple of years, basically playing whack-a-mole with a series of minor injuries. I found that most doctors want to give you drugs or cut you open. And most PTs want to keep you coming back as often as possible for soft tissue work that help with the symptoms but not the root cause. Dr Campbell was the first person who helped me understand what was going on with my body. He helped me identify my bad movements and imbalances and helped me tear down and build back up. Years later, I still see him monthly and I learn something new every time. He has helped me with running and biking, CrossFit, and even just good habits when sitting/standing at a desk. There are so many times when I come in discouraged about my aging body and leave hopeful that the right adjustments will get me further down the road. I recommend him to all my friends.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by a friend to Dr. Brian about two years ago, and it changed my life. Brian helped me overcome tears of injuries from Boxing, and taught me how to maintain and prevent my body with functional progress. I move and feel much better and now only need to visit for occasional “tune ups”, as I’m always very active, and feel fresh again after!

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Brian due to shoulder pain from boot camp that was keeping me up at night. Through exercises, dry needling and reminders of correct form, he got me feeling better in no time. Since I play hockey in addition to boot camp and often have some minor pain of some sort going on, I decided to become a member of Xcel to make sure I don't get myself into the previous pain I was having. Brian's knowledge and bedside manner are excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Helped relieve pain the first visit and trained you to not hurt the same thing again. Dr. Brian is wonderful for sudden injurie, and the chronic pain we all ignore till we can't stand it. The Docs at Xcel Movement are focused on you 100% while you are in their very nice space.

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Brian for a back issue that was both hindering my workouts and my daily life. After a year going to Brian I am pain free and finally back to enjoying work outs. He works with you to assess your movement patterns instead of throwing medication at the issue. Even pain free, I continue to regularly see Brian, because the knowledge I gain at these sessions extends beyond pain management.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Brian Campbell is extremely knowledgeable about body mechanics and injury prevention. He has helped me work through various injuries and always gives me exercises that help and also helps me with tissue work. I recommend him to anyone with an injury that could be helped by PT or anyone working towards a better range of motion. He is great with athletes, but can also help anyone wanting to better their movement. He’s the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Super clean, very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I had an injury and preexisting condition that Brian was able to help alleviate the first session. I've only had a total of two sessions but I can definitely see more improvement with those two sessions than I've had in the 18 months with this stupid injury. Worth every freaking penny and more. The other thing that I very much appreciate is he wants to "fix" you and get on, moving on. He wants to see you improve and wants to see less of you (in a good way).

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr Brian in 2016 to address some plantar fasciitis issues prior to my first Ironman. He not only helped relieve the pain I was experiencing, but also composed an excellent series of exercises that I still use whenever I feel tightness in my calves or Achilles’ tendon. I saw Dr Brian again in 2018 to address a very painful lower back injury - again with success. While I am not actively racing or triathlon training these days, I still follow his social media for mobility tips. He truly wants his clients to be able to experience the sports they love, but he is just as effective for helping everyday people reach their health goals and live without pain. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Brian helped me after several trips to the orthopedist yielded no results. He had helped my children with sports injuries over the past few years with success, so I asked him if he could do a consult to see if he had ideas to help me. He has coached and treated me for several months and I am making tremendous progress on lingering issues resulting from breast cancer treatment that were literally keeping me awake at night. He is now helping me prepare my body for my next surgery. He has been such a blessing in this process and is highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Brian has greatly helped my wrist mobility and I am nearly pain free! Western medicine had completely failed me and I am so excited to have found excel!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Xcel and Brian! I’ve been a runner since college. But more recently I’ve had injury after injury. Doctors told me to stop running. Brian was able to identify weaknesses in my mechanics and help me improve them. It’s made a huge difference! He actually listens and zeroes in on things doctors/ other PT’s have missed.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been having Dr Brian Campbell help me with pain and issues ever since 2018. And I can say without a doubt that I will never do regular PT sessions for any issue. He is so knowledgeable that I can go see him and he can immediately diagnose the problem and assist with getting me back on track. I am 69 and his guidance has been instrumental in keeping me pain free and mobile so I can stay as active and healthy as possible.

Experiencia fantástica: This is not your granny’s PT! I have been to a few of the PT clinics affiliated with local “big box” orthopedic practices for shoulder injuries and always left the treatment process early feeling like the PTs were bored, prescribed the same exercises for everyone, and were used to seeing a more senior crowd. I switched to Xcel about 3 years ago and Brian has been amazing at helping me keep my shoulders and the rest of me moving smoothly into my 40s. He is super knowledgeable and has diagnosed muscle weaknesses, alleviated pain, and provided a clear explanation of what I need to do for strengthening, maintenance, and prevention of future injuries. I am a huge fan of dry needling and respect Brian’s skill with it - along with cupping and other modalities. And he’s just a nice guy, running a small practice that provides personalized attention and follow up that I really appreciate. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Brian does a phenomenal job get me back to competing on the ice. Has helped avoid surgery on my right shoulder and my pinched sciatic nerve to let go so I could be pain free. Highly recommend using his services.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by a friend after a shoulder injury sustained from a few hard workouts. Throughout the course of my treatment we also discovered other issues that were the source of other issues that I had just learned to live with. Learning to retrain your body to move correctly after years of performing simple activities the wrong way is difficult, but Dr. Campbell provides all the tools and treatment you need to correct the issue. Just make sure you do all your home exercises!

Experiencia fantástica: I started to see Dr. Brian Campbell a few months ago. He came highly recommended. He is professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I have noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms in only a few sessions. He quickly and efficiently addressed the root cause of my pain. Dr. Campbell provided me with treatment and the tools to help strengthen any weak areas. As an acupuncturist and massage therapist I find this invaluable and believe that it will help extend my career and prevent overuse and injury.

Experiencia fantástica: After failed attempts to get rid of my low back and hip pain, a friend recommended I go see Brian. I am a competitive olympic weightlifter and my performance was being hindered by my pain. Seeing Brian and doing the work he programed for me, my back pain was gone in weeks. I can't recommend him more.

Experiencia fantástica: Brian’s expertise was really impressive. It took him no time to pinpoint my injury & his treatment was efficient & effective: after some dry needling & physical therapy, my shoulder is pain-free. Moreover, he showed me exercises for preventative care. He truly cared about keeping me strong & injury-free. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Xcel Movement and Performance (I worked with Chelsea Schuman) did a great job in helping me rehab my shoulder. This place is great for crossfitters. I have been doing crossfit for 5 years and had shoulder pain for the last year or so. After about 5 weeks my shoulder felt so much better, I am back doing everything I did before without shoulder pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to XCEL Movement from a referral from a local Cross Fit gym. I do not personally do cross fit. I play soccer, basic weight training, and Power lifting. I’m 38 and lately have had several injuries, torn quad, pain in my right knee, tennis elbow, and lower back pain! I was starting to think 40 was truly the end lol. I saw Chelsea at XCEL. We did a 1.5hr assessment. And have been back for (1) of 5 additional visits. In this short time we have established what we have to do to make corrections and the best part is ITS ALREADY WORKING. In no way did I think progression would come this easy. So In short if your an athlete of ANY KIND, and want a solid trainer to help you on your fitness journey (whatever that may be), you should go see Chelsea or Brian. Worth the $

Experiencia fantástica: Great service and knowledge. As a massage therapist I see a lot of athletes come in to my office and I will definitely be recommending Brian and his team to any of my clients who are looking to increase performance and rehab injuries

Experiencia fantástica: I have suffered from shoulder pain for months . I have tried all the traditional treatments... medical message, acupuncture, fascia blasting. A friend recommended Xcel and I am amazed how quickly Dr. Schuman diagnosed my specific problems and is treating them with great results. She is also teaching me how to “help myself” with proper exercises and posture. I highly recommend Xcel if you want to get to the bottom of your pain and work it out!!! Thank you , Dr. Schuman.

Experiencia fantástica: Always listening and taking their time with each patient. Kind and professional. Best place to go for someone who is a competitive athlete or just needing help with mobility for every day life.

Experiencia fantástica: Xcel is welcoming, accommodating, and professional. Dr. Chelsea Schuman has helped me so much already in only a few weeks. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and programs exercises for me that work with my daily life. I highly recommend Xcel.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to see Brian and Chelsea for an on-going shoulder issue I had. I was able to quickly get an appointment and was excited to come in. Had a very thorough 90 minute session with some soft tissue work mobility analysis and proper technique and exercises to work on at home. I was pleasantly surprised that after being seen and working on what I was supposed to work on I was about 90% better in two weeks. Making great progress and pain-free so I’ll keep going to see them to make sure I’m on the right path for the long term. Highly recommend Xcel!

Experiencia fantástica: The team at Xcel worked with me after my foot surgery and got me back on track! I have had chronic back pain that finally compromised my movement to the point of requiring foot surgery. We worked on my mechanics and strength. I have been hiking and biking and enjoying everyday! I just completed and PR'd the 100 mile 'Bike The Banks Ride' at OBX thanks to the Xcel team!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been to countless physical therapist, chiropractors, massage therapist, etc. Hands down the best physical therapy / recovery I have ever received. After a few sessions I saw immediate progress. Do yourself a favor and just go!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Brian is magical. No, he is not magician, it is still in your hands to fix yourself and do what he tells you to do. But he knows exactly what to fix and how to fix it. I have bad knees since high school. I had one knee surgery. Trust me, I did a lot of PT in my life.. But it always have been the same - would help me a bit and will bring me back to where I was before. Brian fixed me before, few years back, but life got busy, I stopped following his recommendations completely and recently my right knee started hurting again.. I knew what I needed to do. I am back working with XCEL Performance now. Hey, I can barely walk after my PT session. BUT: I see great results. I see how my body gets stronger and the right muscles activate and I finally feel I am doing things right. Brian is not only a doctor, but a great coach. With his own personal experience and education, he is able to direct and motivate me, so that I always leave enlightened, strong and inspired after each sessions and my workouts at the gym are very different and pain-free. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m beyond thrilled that Chelsea was able to figure out what was causing my knee pain. She was able to specifically nail down the cause of my pain and help me with future prevention. I highly recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: Brian and his team are excellent, and the results of doing regular cryotherapy were greatly beneficial in taking away the aches and pains of tennis. I highly recommend Xcel.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been doing Cryotherapy and Norma Tec for 2 months, 3 times a week. I've noticed a faster recovery with my muscles allowing me to continue training at a high level and playing sports. The staff here enjoy assisting individuals with understanding the purpose of both recovery methods. Great clean place and very good price.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Xcel for the past three months or so.. I enjoy the recovery and anti-inflammatory benefits Xcel's Cryotherapy offers. They have the "coolest" staff (Morgan, Sarah, and Heidi) that are always friendly and welcoming. I would recommend adding Xcel and their recovery programs to your fitness/wellness routine, no matter what your level.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Xcel now for more than a year for Cryotherapy. Their team makes it quick and convenient to hit Cryo for recovery following my workouts. It only takes a few minutes - in and out. Results have been great for muscle recovery after the gym and sore knees before or after playing basketball. Highly recommend Xcel fitness and Cryo!

Experiencia fantástica: Brian is wonderful and has helped with my many sports related ailments with helpful exercises, body work, dry needling, as well as the cryotherapy machine he has in the office. Definitely would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I really enjoy receiving cryotherapy at Xcel Movement and Therapy! I feel rejuvenated right away and my recover and sleep are improved. I started doing cryo for the arthritis in my knees. My job is very physically demanding and I enjoy running and lifting weights, so this is the perfect after workout out cool down my joints need. The staff is very friendly and always professional. I would recommend everyone to give cryo a try. You will feel the benefits right away!

Experiencia fantástica: My knees were a mess when I came to XCEL. Dr Campbell worked very carefully with me to help retrain and strengthen appropriate muscle function. I can honestly say that I am practically pain free now...even with stairs. My workouts are greatly improved and I continue to strengthen as I maintain my prescribed exercises. Dr Campbell and his staff are excellent and I’m so grateful I learned of them (and of dry needling and cryotherapy!)

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Brian is awesome! I have been trying to get relief from shoulder pain for months and after one session with dry needling and tissue work along with strengthening exercises and movement correction I can lift my arm without pain. I was also given a few exercises to do at home to assist in rehabbing this shoulder in between appointments. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and his ability to make me feel comfortable right from the start. Also the cryotherapy at the end of the session was amazing. I absolutely recommend Dr. Brian and Xcel.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been receiving cryotherapy for five months, it has been great my recovery, also helps me sleep great. Ive also done the dry needling to get ready for a half marathon and it was great. Everyone at xcel is awesome to work with. Can’t recommend this place enough, also great prices.

Experiencia fantástica: I've never worked with a physical therapist who has so much confidence in the work he does. Dr. Brian and his staff are very consistent. When I first reached out to them they responded immediately and were able to fit me into their schedule that same week. Dr. Brian will not waste your time, if he knows he can not help you he will refer you out. I saw progress after every physical therapy session, and I was only with him for 4 sessions. I highly recommend him!

Experiencia fantástica: They Cryo therapy really helps my recovery time . Im a 50 year old group fitness instructor . The office is clean people are friendly and best price I found in Raleigh .

Experiencia fantástica: I am a nutritional therapist that works with athletes and was referred to Brian at Xcel Movement and Performance from a highly competitive mutual contact at Crossfit. I was impressed with Dr Brians knowledge and ability to explain the movements and what muscles were not activating. My back is hyper mobile with a bulging disc and degeneration. Brian has created a very detailed program with techniques to help me alleviate pain and improve utilization of weak muscles. I highly recommend the cryotherapy as well to decrease inflammation.

Experiencia fantástica: I love cryotherapy at XCEL! I've been going to XCEL for almost a year now. I've been using their Cryotherapy and love it. Prices are excellent compared to others. I just recently started phy therapy with Brian and so far, so good! Morgan (front desk employee) is excellent! Very friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: People at Xcel Movement are friendly and courteous. The pricing for cryo compared to other places is really good. Though, I have not gone for any physical therapy at Xcel, but having cryo and physical at the same place makes it an attractive option. I know of some people at my workplace who use this option.
