HOW DO I KNOW IF SPIDER SPORTS IS RIGHT FOR ME?
YOU'RE TIRED OF QUICK FIXES THAT DON'T last
You are modifying and resting but the pain just keeps coming back. Your doctor tells you to rest or avoid doing what you love and that is not a plan, that is giving up on what matters to you.
You're stuck between pain & your training plan
Every long run brings back the same pain. You rest it and the pain comes right back. Your doctor tells you to stop running for a few weeks, but you have a race coming up and stopping isn't an option you want to take.
YOUR BODY IS LIMITING YOUR GAME
Your back tightens up mid-round and you can't finish your rotation. You've taken lessons and worked on mechanics, but your body won't do what your coach is asking. The limitation isn't your swing - it is your mobility. Ultimately, pain keeps you off the course because the discomfort isn't worth it.
1 / Do I need a referral for physical therapy?
No. South Carolina is a direct access state, which allows physical therapists to be the first line of treatment for injuries. This makes it easy for our clients to get better faster and not have to see a primary care physician or orthopedic MD or PA prior to starting physical therapy.
2 / Do you offer dry needling?
Yes. All of our physical therapists are certified in dry needling for the entire body through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy - Dry Needling Institute, requiring over 54 hours of hands-on experience prior to certification.
3 / Where is the clinic located? Where do I park?
Spider Sports Therapy is located at 135 Confederate Street in Suite 102, a few blocks from downtown Fort Mill. When you walk in the front door, you will go through your first doorway and then the clinic is on the left. You can park in the parking spot out front, in the driveway where the garage is, or across the street in the church visitor parking lot spaces. If you have any questions about how to get to the clinic or where to park just call us!
4 / Why Spider Sports?
Each visit is 60 minutes, one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and tailored to you and your needs specifically. No more being passed from provider to provider, only getting half or less of the provider's attention because they are seeing 1 or 2 other people at the same time they are seeing you. No more wasting your valuable time in extra weeks of therapy because you did not get the attention and care you deserved from the beginning.
Our mission at Spider Sports is to help eliminate your pain, find the root cause of your pain, and provide a long term solution to get you back to the sport or activity you enjoy. We have the time to listen and understand your goals to create a comprehensive plan to meet those goals. The average visit count is significantly less than in a typical physical therapy clinic, thus saving you valuable time and getting you back quicker. We set you up with the knowledge and skills to maintain a healthy, pain-free lifestyle moving forward.

Jenny Harden
"My experience with Taylor has been great! She saw my son for a nagging knee injury and was able to thoroughly assess his issues and determine a very personalized plan for him to heal. She is amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her!"
Amanda Luckadoo
"Taylor has been great to work with! I originally met her after she came to F45 for screenings. It was the perfect timing because I had some lower back pain that I had been dealing with for months that never got better. She was able to come up with a plan. We are still working together and have made significant progress throughout each session. Will continue to work with Taylor to not only stabilize my back but to maintain overall performance!"
ROBIN Gwin
"5 stars isn’t enough! Working with Taylor has been incredible. I started going to see her for lower back issues and a shoulder/neck issue. We came up with a plan and every week, things got better and better!
Taylor is so smart and knows exactly what she is doing!
From stretches, to soft tissue massaging, to dry needling, Doc Taylor is the best of the best!
My husband and I both recommend her to all of our friends & family!"
KATIE QUICK
"Taylor is the absolute best! Her hours and location are convenient and I leave feeling better each time! She has helped my shoulder and hip feel better."
ALEX J.
"I highly recommend working with Taylor. As a fellow runner, she was able to understand the issues my ankle pain was creating. She did a thorough assessment, diagnosed the issue, gave me exercises to do, and now I'm feeling great... even when running on trails! I wish I had seen her sooner!"
Kerri Hatcher
"I can't recommend Taylor enough. I was struggling with lower back pain that would never fully resolve, and she got me back to lifting, running, and (most importantly) picking up my kids again! I got super personalized treatment and never felt like I was being shuffled through a system. I'm so grateful I found this clinic!"
Lee fetter
"I've had a great experience working with Dr. Taylor on a plantar fasciitis issue. I really appreciate getting a full hour for each appointment and the time spend understanding my issue, my normal workout/running routine, and what I'm trying to get back to doing.
​
I especially like that the exercises are kept simple and focused instead of being handed pages of exercises that can get overwhelming. The follow-up has been great too, with texts checking on my progress and making adjustments as needed.
​
Scheduling and changing appointments is very easy. Overall, it's been a very personal and practical approach, and has got me back to feeling good again. I'd definitely recommend SST!"
Justin Colvin
"I had a great experience with Taylor and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with lower back issues. She helped with my recovery using stretching, strength exercises, soft tissue work, and dry needling to help with my pain/discomfort.
​
She also analyzed my running gait and provided specific recommendations to improve my running.
​
Also scheduling new appointments were easy and she worked with my schedule."
Mike ziemke
"I had a great experience working with Taylor. I had lower back stiffness/pain that I chose to live with for years. I knew I needed to address that first, before I could get back into a positive routine with health & wellness. I did an 8 week plan with her and by the end, felt like a new person. She is very knowledgeable at what she does and if you follow the plan she sets for you (effort required) you will have results. I highly recommend her services. Thanks again for your help!"
