athELITE Performance Therapy

athELITE Performance Therapy We are a sports medicine clinic whose focus is to return our patients to the their sport better than before.

athELITE Performance Therapy is a rehabilitation clinic unlike many others. athELITE Performance Therapy was born out of a desire to bring the highest quality of physical therapy to our patients in an ever changing world of insurance reimbursement. Over the years insurance reimbursements for physical therapy has steadily declined, while costs to deliver physical therapy and cost of living have inc

reased. In order to increase revenue and maintain profit margins, traditional cookie-cutter physical therapy clinics have simply increased their volume to offset annual decreases in reimbursement. This means that because they are getting paid less to deliver care, they simply stack patients up on top of each other and some therapists end up seeing 20-30 patients a day. This means that while you may be in the clinic for an hour or even longer, you may only get 10-15 minutes of face time with your therapist. 10-15 minutes is not nearly enough to diagnose and treat your condition thoroughly. Many times patients do not receive the outcomes that are possible and quite frankly, the outcomes they deserve. This is the reason why we only see patients on a 1-to-1 basis for a full hour so that our Doctors can adequately assess and treat their condition. Our focus is to help facilitate the return our patients to the activities they love without pain or discomfort. At athELITE Performance Therapy, our mission is to re-teach our patients how to move and manipulate their bodies in a manner that minimizes stress and the chance of injury. Through education and empowerment, we give our patient's the tools to understand and manage their pain throughout their lifetime.

Objective data doesn’t lie 📈

Check out these strength testing numbers for one of our ACL athletes, just two months post-op and already ahead of schedule.

The top images show where we were just one week ago. The bottom images show the results from today’s testing. In only seven days of targeted, high-intent rehab & performance training, we’ve seen:

✅ 22% decrease in knee extension asymmetry
✅ 11% decrease in knee flexion asymmetry
✅ Massive overall increases in absolute strength

At two months out, many athletes are still just trying to find their rhythm. This athlete is already closing the gap and building a foundation that will make the transition back to running and jumping much smoother.

This is why we test. We don’t guess on progress; we measure it. When you have a clear plan and the data to back it up, “ahead of schedule” becomes the new normal.

Great work by this athlete for staying locked in. 🤝

This is why prehab before ACL surgery matters.

We tested this athlete’s quad and hamstring strength at three different points: before surgery, one month after surgery, and then again recently as he continues working through his rehab.

And the biggest thing that stands out is how much his strength has progressed because we did not wait until after surgery to start building.

A lot of people tear their ACL, schedule surgery, and then spend the time before surgery just waiting around. But that time matters. If you can safely build strength, improve control, restore motion, and go into surgery in a better place, you usually give yourself a much better starting point on the other side.

That does not mean the process is easy, and it definitely does not mean surgery recovery becomes automatic. This athlete also has a great team around him, and that matters a lot. But the work he put in before surgery gave us something to build from instead of starting from zero.

The stronger and more prepared you are going into surgery, the better chance you have of limiting atrophy, restoring strength faster, and progressing more smoothly toward running, jumping, cutting, and eventually returning to sport.

ACL rehab is not just what happens after surgery.

It starts before surgery.

If you are waiting on an ACL reconstruction, do not waste that window. Use it to get your quad, hamstring, hip, and knee as prepared as possible so your post-op rehab has a better foundation.

That is the whole point of prehab.

If you’re not happy with how your ACL recovery/rehab is going, reach out to us.

We would love to see if we would be a better fit for you 🤝

STOP DOING THIS if you have knee pain…

Random knee stretches are not always the answer.

If the tissues around the knee are stiff, irritated, or just not moving well, sometimes you need to be more specific with your mobility work.

Try these instead:

1. Lacrosse ball stripping to the quads/VMO
2. Foam roll stripping to the IT band
3. Lacrosse ball stripping to the popliteus

The key here is stripping, not just rolling around and hoping you hit the right spot.

Save this one and try it before your next lower-body day.

And if you want a more specific knee plan, DM me “knee” and I’ll show you the knee pain relief program structure that I’ve used to get 100’s of athletes out of knee pain in the past.

4 years of daily constant back pain. 4 failed attempts with other physical therapists. Gridlocked and unable to walk.

When Dylan first got on a call with me, one thing stood out, he’s in his early 20s dealing with 4 years of chronic back pain. That’s an awful situation for someone his age to be going in but honestly, it’s more common than most people would think.

What made it worse? He’d already tried four different physical therapists, each one promising him the world.

Each one left him exactly where he started… in pain, confused, and increasingly desperate.

He was at the point of considering surgery or stem cell therapy just to reclaim his life. The gridlock was so severe he could barely walk.

When we got on that initial call, Dylan was understandably skeptical. I could feel the hesitation in his voice, why should he believe me when four other professionals had already let him down? 🤷‍♂️ He had every right to be doubtful.

But here’s what I told him: Our process is completely different.

We don’t guess, and we don’t rely on subjective measures. We find the exact root cause of your pain through OBJECTIVE testing. No promises we can’t keep. No generic treatment plans. Just precision.

The result? Almost pain-free after just ONE session.

What I’m most proud of isn’t just Dylan’s recovery, it’s that he didn’t give up!

In a world where it would have been easy to surrender to surgery or accept chronic pain as his new normal, he kept searching for a real solution. And I’m grateful he found us.

If you’ve had a similar situation with physical therapy, still in pain, and tired of being let down by the traditional approach, you don’t have to accept this as your reality.

One lazy day a week might be exactly what your muscles need.

Rest isn’t the opposite of training, it’s part of it. Recovery is when the real progress happens. Without it, your body stays inflamed, your muscles can’t rebuild, and your gains hit a plateau.

Research shows that a full rest day each week helps:
• Reduce muscle inflammation
• Rebuild and grow muscle tissue
• Replenish energy stores (like glycogen)
• Balance hormones like cortisol and testosterone
• Prevent overuse injuries
• Improve long-term performance

Even elite athletes schedule rest to let their bodies adapt and grow stronger. Skipping recovery slows you down, no matter how hard you train.

You’re not being lazy. You’re giving your body what it needs to come back better.

So block off one full day each week.

Sleep in, take a walk, stretch, breathe....

Your muscles will thank you for it.

Your future strength and performance depends on it.
