From Our Clients
I am back to a normal lifestyle, which includes riding my indoor bicycle trainer and working out daily.
“Thought I would send a “thank you” to you and your staff for helping me out with my back pain. I must admit when I first came into your office, I did not believe that you could do anything for me; however, thought I would give you a chance. After only three treatments and your advice on daily exercises, I am back to a normal lifestyle, which includes riding my indoor bicycle trainer and working out daily”. Dave N.
Why Elevate Physical Therapy
Our goal is to optimize your outcome. We want to improve the patient experience by guiding you through proper rehabilitation techniques to improve movement, increase strength, reduce pain, and restore function.
Elevate Philosophy
We believe physical therapy is an active process, treating pain through movement. Our method has been highly successful over the years. Our physical therapists start with an in-depth analysis to determine the source of your pain and limitations. From there, therapists develop an individualized plan of care to relieve the pain and determine ways to prevent future injuries from occurring.
Optimize Your Outcome
Everyone wants to move: be active, run hard, compete, or live life without pain. Our patients of all ages come from many different sports and activities but share a common goal; they want to get back to what they were doing. Our goal is to optimize your outcome. We want to improve the patient experience by guiding each individual through proper rehabilitation techniques to improve movement, increase strength, reduce pain, and restore function.
Our Physical Therapy Approach
Our approach is based on an understanding of body mechanics and the way all body systems are integrated. This is a practice developed from academic backgrounds of biochemistry, biomechanics, and anatomy. This style leads to customized exercise programs that are tailored to each individual. With this functional approach, we assist our clients to thrive- to rapidly achieve rehab goals and get back to living.
From Our Client
Every single person I worked with was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
After having lumbar spinal surgery in the summer of 2018, I was very stiff and had a limited range of motion. Daily tasks such as sitting, cleaning, and driving were difficult and painful. After coming to JPT and working with Bekah for 4 months, I am able to work full time, go for long walks, and complete daily tasks as normal. My experience here has been nothing short of fantastic! Every single person I worked with was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Amy S.
