The Elite Philosophy
"MOVE BETTER, FEEL BETTER, LIVE BETTER"
At Elite Movement & Physical Therapy we aim to change the way people perceive physical therapy treatment. We provide our clients with personalized education and guidance, just as much as we provide skilled care.
​
I believe that a more active role in therapy is imperative for active individuals. Whether you participate in exercise, recreational sports or are just trying to keep up with the kids at home, passive treatment in a clinic alone is not enough.
​
I started Elite Movement because I was unhappy with the traditional physical therapy treatment model in outpatient clinics and believed that our clients deserve better.
​
I believe that personalized, one-on-one care and enhanced care in between sessions not only produced happier clients, but faster results and better outcomes.
​
Our mission is to provide exceptional care, with a more personal feel and extend this care to beyond a traditional physical therapy visit.
At Elite Mobility & Physical Therapy, we focus on establishing a relationship, just as much as we focus on successful treatment. We recognize the importance of providing continuous care to our clients looking for more than just temporary elimination of pain.
​
Our goal is to restore normal movement for our clients in order to improve performance and maintain it forever.
​
We believe it is essential to Move Better in order to Feel Better and Live Better.
