Physical Therapy For You To Live An Active Life Free From Pain
We believe that people deserve to live a life doing everything they want to do -- from picking up their children/grandchildren, spend the afternoon gardening, go for a walk or run, go up and down stairs with ease, or reach peak performance as an athlete.
When individuals get injured, or experience pain and discomfort they feel limited and held back.
That's where we come in...
Our physical therapists work with you one-on-one to help ease your pain, increase your strength, improve your mobility, and address the cause of your pain at its source.
You may be wondering, "What makes Physical Therapy different at Elite?"
Here are a few things...
In-depth evalauations for each patient allow our staff to more effectively understand what is going with you and help address efficient, and effective treatment.
Our therapists specialize in manual therapy, which means they will utilize hands-on techniques to help increase mobility and decrease pain before beginning with exercises.
All appointments are one-on-one for the duration of your appointment.
We put you with one Physical Therapist for the duration of your treatment.
Each therapist has their own treatment room to increase privacy and decrease distractions.
We also have a brand new, open gym with all the equipment you could need.
Our therapists will you help achieve YOUR goals, which may include everyday activities, or peak performance as an athlete.

Back Pain & Sciatica
If you have lower back pain or sciatica – at some point you have probably thought it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you believe it’s a normal part of aging… that you just slept awkwardly, or that it’s just a spasm or stiffness that everyone your age suffers from...
You may be asking yourself: “Why won’t the pain go away?” Or worse, assume that there is no hope, that you will have to live with the pain and limit what you want to do forever.
If you have been to a Doctor, chances are you were prescribed medication and instructed to rest. Rarely is this the best treatment option and most likely you end up back at the Doctor’s office after 6 weeks of suffering. Worse, you end getting prescribed stronger medication and referred for expensive testing, continuing to suffer while you wait for answers...
If this describes you, you’re not alone - we hear this all the time. In fact, Lower Back Pain and Sciatica is the most common problem that we see at Elite Physical Therapy.
While there are a lot of treatment options available, many of these only address the symptoms and don’t target the actual cause of your pain or handle it for the long term.
Most treatments fail because they are not tailored to your body and the root cause of your symptoms. Our Physical Therapists understand the same symptoms in different people can be caused by completely different problems. Instead of protocols that everyone needs to fit into, we tailor a solution to fit your individual need.

“ I could not bend over far enough to place a golf tee in the ground!
I thought I was going to have to give up my favorite hobby and exercise due to extreme pain in my lower back and legs anytime I would try to bend over.
After about one month of therapy with Brett Beltrame, I am now able to put that golf tee in the ground and enjoy golf again. Previously having tried pain medicine, epidural injections, fluoroscopic injections, all without success, I had become very discouraged.
Brett is a wonderful therapist whom I highly recommend! ”

[Matt] correctly diagnosed the problem, set up a therapy plan for me, and I'm happy to say I am now pain free. ”

“ I have been dealing with low back pain for years. I have done physical therapy in the past that all helped a whole lot, but after some time off from PT my back pain returned, and even spread out to my hip.
I was nervous to do some things in my workouts that I use to LOVE doing for fear I would injure myself further. I also could feel that things still weren’t right, I was not getting stronger, and I just couldn’t get my body into the right positions (like for deadlifts and lunges).
After just one appointment with Carol I was smiling ear-to-ear because I could FEEL the difference PT was making… I was able to move well, get through a full range of motion, and do exercises WITHOUT pain! I was amazed! I am back to box jumps, heavier deadlifts, and squatting with heavier weight once again with barely any issues. INCREDIBLE!
Not only is she a phenomenal PT, she is a great “coach.” She helps you break through your mental barriers, and tailors PT to your goals and lifestyle. I’d send every single person to her! ”

“ Mark Lawhon has been my therapist for three bulging, and one herniated disc for less than two months. When I started with Mark I could only walk for ten minutes a day and had severe sciatic pain down my left leg.
Because of his superior knowledge of physiology and musculature, I am now walking 40 minutes a day and have sciatic pain only upon waking. Mark is a positive force and the ultimate cheerleader.
This is my fifth round of PT, the first for my back, and Mark is my best therapist ever! ”

“ After 40 years with minimal back pain, my upper back problems recurred with a vengeance – so much so that my entire back froze up while bent over gardening and it took ten minutes of painful effort to straighten up. My wife had great results with Elite several years ago, so she set me up with an appointment.
Justin has done an exceptional job for me – after a couple months my problem has all but disappeared. He’s knowledgeable, skilled, and great at communication – both listening and explaining. Plus he’s a great guy and really puts the patient at ease.
So I’m back doing everything I was before, but now pain-free and more limber – gardening, painting, chores – even sitting watching TV and sleeping at night are much more comfortable now.
THANK YOU! ”

“ Beginning in Fall of 2015 I had problems driving a car, even for short distances. Some 3 years ago I had experienced severe neck pain and was referred for 6 months of PT. It was successful. Although the new incident was not as painful I knew PT would be a great help.
At that point I was determined to locate and return to my previous therapist- Justin Snead. After a computer search I found him and Elite. He is always professional, polite, reassuring and kind. In less than 3 months my neck pain has subsided at least 80% and I am back to driving with minimal discomfort again. I am very pleased with the staff, facilities at Elite and especially Justin.
PS I just want to add that the most important part of being a PT patient is belief:
• In myself- I want to be part of the healing process
• In the therapy plan- a personal plan based on me
• In the therapist- is dedicated to my well-being ”
