Headway Physical Therapy is more than just a clinic, it’s a homegrown movement rooted right here in Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded by a proud North Carolina native, Dr. Casey Roy, a Wolfpack-Blue Devil Hybrid (sorry Tarheel fans!) - Headway PT was built with one goal in mind: disrupt the system and provide innovative solutions to chronic conditions using a biopsychosocial model of care. We emphasize psychologically informed practice to address all aspects of pain and movement dysfunction - not just the symptoms. We’re not a franchise. We’re not backed by a corporate entity. We’re fully independent and fully invested in the community we serve. That means our success - and survival - depends entirely on the trust, outcomes, and word-of-mouth of the people right here in the Triangle. Specializing in migraine relief, neck pain, and vestibular rehab, Headway combines clinical expertise with a personalized, one-on-one approach you won’t find in big-box clinics. Every decision we make is grounded in what's best for our neighbors, not for shareholders. Because at Headway, we don’t answer to a board, we answer to you! This is local care. North Carolinian care. And we’re here to help you make headway towards a more active and pain-free future.

Our Philosophy

Each patient deserves one-on-one individualized care with their physical therapist, and every person deserves to receive care. Headway PT’s philosophy will always be to do what it takes to care for patients regardless of their socioeconomic background, access to transportation, or other factors that may otherwise act as a barrier to care. Headway PT will aim to use the most recent evidence-based practice guidelines to always ensure the best outcomes for all those who trust us to help improve their lives.

We Believe in Supporting Local Small Businesses!

The Raleigh-Durham community is a vibrant and growing area with a unique blend of culture, innovation, and Southern hospitality. Supporting locally owned and operated businesses plays a crucial role in preserving the character and diversity of the region. Local businesses not only provide personalized products and services but also contribute to the economic stability of the community by keeping money circulating within the area. They create jobs for local residents, support other small businesses, and foster a sense of pride and belonging that strengthens community ties.

In addition, locally owned businesses are more likely to give back to the community, whether through sponsorships of local events, collaborations with nonprofits, or involvement in community initiatives. By supporting these businesses, residents help maintain the area's distinct identity, ensuring that Raleigh-Durham continues to thrive both economically and culturally. Investing in local businesses fosters a sense of shared responsibility and connection, making the community stronger and more resilient in the face of change.

One way Headway PT encourages the support of other local business is by providing "easter egg" discounts at local cafe's, restaurants, art studios, and more! The "easter eggs" are designed as a business card with a special code on them that give you a 15% discount off any service offered at Headway PT. Headway PT hopes that by providing these discounts, it will encourage our patients and other community members to support other small business in the area!
