Eric does an amazing job with coming to know you and goes to great lengths to make sure you are comfortable with everything he does!
Seth Nelson
Dr. Eric is the best PT I’ve been to. I had an ongoing problem that caused a lot of pain, and a few treatments, Dr. Eric was able not only relieve my pain, he gave me a first class at home treatment plan that I can do easily. Revive is the best out there! The whole team is the nicest group of people!
Eric Summer
Revive PT is absolutely amazing. Every time I go he knows exactly what to do to fix everything that’s hurting. Dry needling, scraping, cupping, he does it all! So thankful to have him to help my body while in training!
Kolbi Rae Burdette
Revive Performance is amazing! I’d heard great things from friends and family who have been to Eric. He is an expert in his craft and made huge strides with my son and his ongoing injury within just two visits. HIGHLY recommend Revive Performance.
Aimee Houston
I cannot say enough great things about Eric and Revive Performance. I’ve suffered from debilitating migraines for several decades with minimal results from various care providers. The dry needling techniques Eric uses has decreased my headaches by half! I cannot be more pleased
marsha mason
Revive Performance Therapy has been an integral part of my wellness program. I have been having shoulder issues and unable to really work that area correctly because of it. They have been working with me weekly to get it corrected. As I am prepping for a fitness competition this has been a tremendous help and they have also worked on other trouble spots I really did not know I had. I feel a lot better after visiting them.
Nicole Thompson
I have been going to Revive (every week) for almost 2yrs now. The staff is welcoming and their number one priority is to help you....relieve any aches or pains you may have. I would definitely recommend Revive to anyone looking to get help the right way.

Eric is one of the best physical therapists I've ever worked with and truly cares about his clients progress. He's super knowledgeable and is quite literally a one stop shop when it comes to working on your body and helping you overcome injuries. I highly recommend giving him a shot at helping you fix or work through any pain or injuries that you're suffering from and watch the results come through consistency and effort.
Cole Sheheane
I first started with Revive PT when I needed to get stronger for soccer. I first left my first workout and knew that was the place for me. It was so welcoming and helpful and has truly helped me through my soccer and strengthening career. Anyone who needs help with strengthening or has any sort of pain this is the place to go for sure!!
Taylor Horton
Revive has been a game changer for me. I’m a strength and conditioning coach and also a competitive powerlifter, so my body gets banged up on top of previous injuries and surgeries. They help me be able to move with less pain and keep me in the game. Whether it’s soft tissue work our mobility/strength exercises. The staff at Revive will get you right. 10/10 recommend.

Went in for shoulder pain. After 6 sessions I am feeling great and pain free!

Dee Chinn
Awesome known Eric for awhile, Very good and helpful definitely recommend. My pain has definitely been a lot better since I went to him. After being told you aren’t able to be as mobile as before was very hurtful but going to Eric has made me more mobile then ever and I am more confident with myself. Thank you Eric you are awesome.
Blanca Ortiz
The staff at Revive helped me avoid knee surgery and get back to my normal activities. Beforehand, I could hardly run with my injury. Then, 1 year later I completed my first 70.3 Ironman. The staff was always very accomidating to my busy schedule and was able to see me at times which were convient to me.
Kelsey Brandsma
I’ve been seeing Michael for a few months for my chronic neck pain and he has been AMAZING!!! He’s very thorough and I have seen great results since working with him! Go check him out if you tired of dealing with daily pain/soreness. Facility is very clean as well 🙂

Revive is a great place to overcome injuries both mentally and physically. The staff at revive do an exceptional job at making their patients feel comfortable and enjoy their recovery process. I would 100% recommend Revive Performance Therapy to anyone in need of Physical Therapy.
Haley Sturla
When it comes to being a bodybuilder, it’s important to get the most out of your muscle, yet a lot of times we’ll strain, pull, exasperate our selves and we need decompression, massages, or/and my favorite dry needling. This is place for not just bodybuilders but also anyone with besetting aches and pains
Kelvin Whelly
I was treated and taught to self manage. A fantastic investment in my physical future.
Travis Greene
I struggle with shoulder pain and thanks to Michael Woodall, my flareups are less severe. He takes great care and attention in identifying the source of pain for quick relief. I’ve found my pain doctor and wouldn’t use anyone else.
Sean Maddox [C-TSYS]
My experience with Revive was great! They were super nice and welcoming whenever I stepped inside. I went for 6 months because I was having bad issues with my right hip and now I can do my daily routine without any struggle and even more! Super nice staff, would definitely come back later for some any of my issues
Gerson Tiznado

Brad Frost
Dr. Michael Woodall at Revive Performance Therapy helped me get rid of my back pain and greatly increased my quality of life. I had experienced persistent back pain for years. It had begun to affect my sleep, but I had accepted it as part of getting older. Turns out, I'm not as old and worn out as I thought, I just needed physical therapy. Feeling much better now, and I'm happy to recommend them to anyone.
Vickie Young
Worked with Dr Woodall after having an injury of thoracic muscles which later spread to my piriformis. He prescribed me exercises in combination with dry needling. In two weeks i was back on the bike and in the gym. Highly recommend!
Marko Zivanic
The therapy session I received was life changing after years of being told “there is nothing we can do, take these pills” I am finally receiving the correct therapy I need in order to not be in pain everyday. Thank you everyone at Revive.
Daaveed10
Tore my acl in 2023 which completely took me out of sports and other activities I enjoyed. Revive is definitely the go to place for physical therapy. Almost right after surgery they start you on therapy! One year later and my leg is if anything better than my other! Fantastic staff and amazing service!
JJ.
I could not run full speed due to my hamstring hurting. My experience was amazing with the entire staff. They help me get back to 100% in two weeks. Now I can do every movement at full speed that I could not do before. Thanks to the entire revive staff.
Christopher Edmonds
I play college softball and Revive helped me through my first spring season. I pulled my quad in the fall and couldn’t sprint or squat without pain. I became incredibly frustrated but after one visit at Revive, I was better! I received dry needling, muscle scraping, and was provided with materials and knowledge to perform stretches that I do everyday! The staff is amazing! I highly recommend Revive to anyone seeking physical therapy!

EXPERTS !!!
Kit M
Went from being in pain all the time to feeling great! I came in with issues in my traps, Michael got me fixed right up. I look forward to my appointments because I know I’m in good hands and I’ll walk out feeling better than what I did walking in.
Aaron Krieger
Went to see Eric because I was having some pain in my knee. I thought that I may have re-torn my ACL while squatting. Eric figured out it was actually my IT band and performed some wizardry (dry needling) and now I’m good! Very knowledgeable and professional 👍
Alex S
Having the opportunity to be a patient at Revive was nothing short of amazing. From the very first time I walked in, I could tell the staff cared about me. They are friendly, efficient, and always willing to help no matter what. If you are in need of a physical therapist, Revive is the place to go!!

I can’t say enough great things about Eric, the owner of Revive! I’ve been dealing with TMJ issues, and he has helped me tremendously. He’s not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. Every session is tailored to my needs, and I’ve noticed such a difference since working with him. Highly recommend Revive if you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist!

Best physical therapy place in Georgia!!!!
MYA’S TV G
Dr. Eric is nothing short of awesome. He genuinely cares about his patients. He is smart, and it’s obvious he knows his craft well. I would probably be walking like the old witch from the original Snow White if it wasn’t for him.
Veronica Taylor
Best PT clinic around. On multiple occasions the staff here has repaired my broken body so I could get back to lifting! Top notch professionals, great bedside manners as well.

Eric at Revive is the only provider who truly listened and took the time to figure out my back issue when no one else would.

Both Eric and Michael have been super helpful to me. As a college athlete they helped me get back on the field as well as educate me on how I can improve my body to elevate performance. They have a great process to help patients. I recommend Revive to anyone no matter how big or small their issue may be.
Ben Waife
I came to Revive because I was struggling with daily movements and couldn’t do some of the activities I loved. From day one, the staff made me feel supported and cared for. They guided me step by step with patience and encouragement. Thanks to Revive, I’ve gained my strength and confidence back, I can finally do my deadlifting without having any problems

TButler Janitorial
I met Maison after dealing with two surgeries back to back on my knee . He helped rehab me back to playing competitive pickleball . Since that day ( several years ago) I have been a frequent flyer to have Maison keep me in good physical shape despite my injuries along the way. His knowledge of all the muscle groups is extremely extensive for competitive sports. I would highly recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit. From how we work to what to expect on day one.
Is Revive Performance Therapy covered by insurance?
Revive is a cash-based clinic, we don't bill insurance directly. We accept HSA/FSA and offer payment plan options. Superbills are available upon request if you'd like to seek out-of-network reimbursement through your own insurance provider.
How is this different from theI've tried before?
At Revive, every session is one-on-one and a full hour with a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, no aides, no techs, no double-booking. We also start with a root-cause evaluation rather than a generic protocol, which means the plan is built specifically around your body and your goals, not a standard template.
Do I need a referral to come in?
No referral is needed in Georgia. You can book directly, starting with a free 15-minute phone consult. That call helps us understand what's going on and confirm Revive is the right fit before your initial evaluation.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what's going on and what your goals are. We'll give you a clear picture of your plan and realistic timeline at your evaluation, based on your actual assessment, not a standard protocol or a number pulled from thin air.
What does a first visit look like?
Your first visit is a full hour. We'll do a thorough movement and strength evaluation to identify the root cause of what's been limiting you, then walk you through a personalized care plan before you leave. No surprises, just a clear path forward.
