Why Apex Patients Choose Carolina Elite
Apex is one of the most active, health-conscious communities in Wake County. With a median household income above $144,000, high rates of recreational sports participation, and a population that skews young and family-focused, Apex residents tend to be discerning about the quality of care they seek out. They are not looking for the nearest convenient option. They are looking for the best one.
​
Dr. Lindsay Hren grew up in Apex. She attended local schools, played sports in this community, and went on to become a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with a UNC Orthopedic PT Residency and a CSCS credential. When she treats an Apex patient recovering from an ACL tear before tryouts at Apex High, or a weekend runner dealing with a stubborn IT band issue, she brings more than clinical expertise. She brings firsthand knowledge of what it means to be an athlete in this community.
​
Carolina Elite is an out-of-network, direct-access practice. No referral, no waitlist, no shared session time. Every Apex patient works 1-on-1 with a Doctor of PT for a full 60 minutes per visit.
Physical Therapy Services Available to Apex Patients
All four of our specialty services are available to Apex patients, both via mobile PT and at our Holly Springs clinic.
Orthopedic & Sports PT
Sports injuries, post-surgical rehab, joint pain, and return to sport. Dr. Lindsay Hren's board-certified OCS and CSCS credentials make her one of the most qualified orthopedic PTs in the greater Apex area. She treats athletes from Apex High and surrounding schools, adult recreational athletes, and post-surgical patients across all age groups.
All three DPTs are certified.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Prenatal, postpartum, and women's health PT for Apex families. Two Herman and Wallace certified DPTs. Mobile PT is available for postpartum Apex patients who prefer care at home. Given Apex's large population of young families, pelvic health PT is one of our most-requested services in this community.
Vestibular & Balance PT
Dr. Sara Roberts is certified in vestibular rehabilitation and treats dizziness, vertigo, BPPV, post-concussion symptoms, and balance disorders. Vestibular PT is available via mobile PT for Apex patients for whom driving is difficult during active symptoms.
Gymnastics & Cheerleading Rehab
Dr. Sara Roberts competed as a gymnast for 13 years and provides on-site PT at Sonshine Gymnastics. We treat gymnasts and cheerleaders from Apex and surrounding areas for acute injuries, overuse conditions, return to skills, and prevention.

A large resort-style community on the south side of Apex bordering Holly Springs. Woodcreek is just minutes from our clinic, making it one of the most convenient Apex neighborhoods for in-clinic visits.
